i love steve jablonski, his music is just awsome. hope he will make the real soundtrack for the next game. strange to me, kerrigan again zerg queen. sad raynor still no kids.

looks in the first step like a cinematic with the mapeditor. if it is true or not does not really matter, its entertaining.

They've already proven with WoL they can't make a story without serious leaps in logic, copying and pasting past work, insertion of gratuitous cheezy Hollywood liners, and all done with the writing ability of a 4th grader.

Blizzard writing team of today pales in comparison to the writing team of ten years ago. What's really sad is that Metzen played a strong part in developing what was back then a good story. He has completely lost his touch and needs to get his head back in the game or be sidelined for new talent.

I really, really hope that this came just out of a wicked sense of humor by Blizzard, to react to all the story critics.

"Hey, let's fake an HotS ending where we try to fulfill every negative claim they made about us because of WoL!"

Possible cliffhanger for Starcraft 3?

Oh why does this kinda head towards World Of Starcraft ?!

Did you even look at the WoL credits?

A lot of the team is still there, but it still feels like there's a different creative (or uncreative) force in Blizzard. Maybe I've been too harsh on Metzen, because even he's trying to fight the asinine decision to bring Tychus back.

And Brian is lead writer. One of the two writers for Jade Empire. He also wrote a few of the Normandy crew of ME2 which made up for it's bad main plot. You wouldn't think he wrote the SCII dialogue if you compared it to ME2. I guess that splitting it into three parts halfway through development and bringing in this new guy in what was probably less than a year between ME2 and WoL had a lot to do with it. Not that Bioware were ever great, but I'd have expected better knowing Brians resume.

Well, maybe its not the creative team that's at fault but rather the executives up high, who decided that SC2 needs to be a lot more accessible in all regards, including story and multiplayer (No BW vs. SC2 discussion, just saying it's a lower skill floor, this is universally accepted.) The story caters to a totally different demographic, while the multiplayer is for the older generation.

At least that's my explanation, since I've seen Saturday morning cartoons that felt less cliched than this.

Okay, I'm predicting it now - at the end of the trilogy, Raynor gets in a spaceship, flies to Earth, and lands in front of the Lincoln Memorial only to find it has an monkey face and the planet is populated by apes.

The video is also up on the IncGamers site

http://www.incgamers.com/Videos/1775

A video claiming to show the ending of StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, the next title in the startegy series was leaked onto YouTube last night.

Activision are obviously not happy at the situation although it is still unclear as to whether this was a real video or a fan created piece of footage. The fact that Activision has been chasing around trying to get the leaked footage removed points to it being legitimate.

The video was also watermarked with the name of the production company who lists Blizzard as one of their clients so there is some good evidence to suggest the video was legitimate. The audio that is present is also very authentic so we think this leak could have some merit.

The ending wasnt THAT bad, it might be a lot that happens story-wise in hots before this video, but one thing I do agree on is that is silly to make kerrigan back into queen of blades..
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

We need to wait and see what exactly is behind Mengsk's "I win" button, but it has potential to be extremely stupid.

And the entire "Free Zerg" thing is silly as well, considering they're pretty much bio-weapons at that point.
