Wow, I know Blizzard loves cliche and cheesy dialogue, but this takes the cake. I don't think it is literally possible to write more gut-wrenchingly hideously stupid dialogue.

Of course the animation quality (and music too I might add) was absolutely stellar, but I really don't think that voice-over was necessary in the slightest.

I guess it's a follow-up/tribute to the first half of Brood War's ending cinematic? (which had equally-poor dialogue, and impressive graphics for the times)

BW ending cinematic for reference:

I love that infested terran charging the bunker. Very... zombieesque. ^^

Clearly you haven't been watching the latest trailer for Stallones new movie.

They should seriously consider making a movie. That quality of CGI is just astonishing.

Simply wow.


Ya but the budget and time needed to make a movie is really really high.

Their quality of CGI is really top-notch.
But it is just a 3.00 trailer.

To make a full-fledged SC-based movies would take insane amount of budget and time.

I doubt Blizz would want to invest into movies now.
Though it is up to Activision to decide now.

Would be nice to have a movie ~2years after LoV featuring the StarCraft history

Terrible terrible interview, just extremely unprofessional. Not the way that I would like my site represented when interviewing a major company. STOP LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE.

Baneling
Mutations
  • Corrosive Acid - main target damage increased by 100%
  • Rupture - splash damage increased by 50%
  • Regenerative Acid - Baneling explosion heals friendly units and buildings (does damage to enemy anyway)



This is also wrong, as one of the screenshots beneath the article shows Rupture to increase splash radius by 50%

A better cinematic would show all the terran units standing still and doing nothing while being fungalled.

great preview. single player is really looking like a good story this time around.

Skins are coming! Thank you Blizzard, make them rare as hell please, people will play their ass off to get them.

Building Skins would even be cool. especially on extractors/reactors/assimilators, pylons, depots, spines, cannons, turrets, etc.

To be completely honest, it looks quite badass. Not sure if I will get it but this post made me want it a little bit. And Blizzard always had badass cinematics (nothing will ever top the WC3 ones though).
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

Just like every time you actually land a Viking.

It looks awesome but if you don't know what you are doing it will be bad in 99.9% of cases.
So props to Blizz for making the trailer so similar to multiplayer gameplay Really cool stuff.

The opening video looks amazing. Like the detail that is in there I don't think ive ever seen quality like that before other than maybe skyrim. Its very hard to make all of those units come to life like that.
