Hmm, maybe the Overmind infested Kerrigan just so it could give Kerrigan the ability to essentially become a more... attractive, more mobile Cerebrate. Makes sense, since Kerrigan still has her *snake hair* thingy and since Kerrigan WAS and STILL IS a Ghost. Ghosts have tons of psionic potential, the Overmind just took it to new heights. Maybe Kerrigan will still be able to control the Zerg, even while in her human form. I mean come on, the Zerg are controlled by psionic beings, with a little more hierarchy in their command structure(Overmind commands Cerebrates, Cerebrates control Overlords, Overlords control lesser creatures) than the Protoss. Since Kerrigan is still a level 12 psionic being(Meaning she is still like a goddess among mortals), she should still IN THEORY be able to control the Zerg. Essentially, Kerrigan is like the Overmind and a Cerebrate combined, and a lot more mobile(I mean come on, hasnt anyone given a thought as to how the Overmind and the Cerebrates move from planet to planet? Just fascinating thinking about how those big, sluggish things move around. Also, funny fact, Cerebrates look like sea cucumbers ) AND a lot more beatiful. Luv dat hair <3
Also, Blizzard does not reveal any kind of information about endings FIRST! That essentially ruins the setup. Blizzard does not make games by this decree: They do things from the ground up, not the other way around. This fact is enough to convince me that this *leaked* ending is either a fanmade video with voice acting made by someone SIMILAR to the true voice actors, a scrapped ending that was thrown away, then released for the fun of it, or its just a fake clip Bliz sent to make us think what would happen with this kind of ending and then they will wow us with another ending that makes more sense. Also, i dont wanna watch that clip, and i wont. Its one of these things, for sure.

Wow holy crap that looked amazing. In terms of dialogue it still felt a bit cliche'd...but visually if you're gonna put together a trailer, that is definitely how you do it.

Just my 2 cents.
Don't forget that SC2 was changed to basically 3 games close to release. If Blizzard was planning to release it as one game, they've obviously come a long way in the story. Also "The third floor" did CG to WoL, I doubt they would put out a fake video. There is a possibility Blizzard will change the ending now if this is indeed the ending they had planned.
Anyways, imo, it was pretty lame though. Kind of interesting to find out who Mengsk was injecting the stuff into (Kerrigan?), how she reverted back to zerg, and some other stuff.

Change the ending? Is that really wise? I was under the impression those cinematics take like... years to make. Could be wrong though.
Naw, they cant take that long, cuz if thats so, then Bliz would have taken WAAAY more time to make WoL than it took today! Even though they spent most of their time on WoW
Also, Bliz had spent already hundreds of millions on WoL, so i suppose they got enough money to throw on some fake cinematics. IMO, theyre messing with us.

Edit: i feel like i have to explain why it doesnot fit the story of WoL: first, kerrigan is not human, so it has to be before WoL, but then Mengsk dies, so it has to be after WoL. paradox? it just does not fit, so it is not the end of HotS
Well they said way back that In HoTS the main charachter is Kerrigan and something about regaining/gaining power, and romours about rpg elemets.
So it's posible that at the begining of HoTS she is human, and at the end of the campaign she is back to being infestesed and at full strength. My personal bet is that instead of the lab and tech research points, you are upgrading Kerrigan in HoTS.
no it is not possible. i think i read that HotS plays before WoL, so mengsk cannot die. it simply is a fake.
i should applaud you at being so wrong in so few sentances.

Not YEARS, but awhile. With a good team, maybe a month or two? I'm not a 3D Graphics design guru, so I'm not claiming to know much about it. I've only dabbled, and I can see that taking about a month to complete. With a whole team.

But I dunno, they'd already have character models on file I suppose, so all they'd really need to do is the scene itself, which wouldn't be that difficult. Backgrounds are a LOT easier than character models, and then animating them isn't too difficult either. The modeling takes the longest I think.

Also it's not like they don't have a year to remake it

Kerrigan was able to control the Zerg way before she was infested, and even before the events of Starcraft 1. In fact, she was so good at it, she was the sole survivor of the program while the Confederates killed the others (lesser Ghosts) to keep it a secret.
Kerrigan later participated in the xenomorph experiments at the Fujita Facility on Vyctor 5. The creatures were found to respond to telepathic commands when drugged and isolated.[4]
Arcturus Mengsk, leader of the recently-formed Sons of Korhal and son of Angus Mengsk, discovered Kerrigan was at Fujita through Umojan sources. He organized a raid on the facility to retrieve her, although the rebel soldiers were not told of Kerrigan's significance or presence. By this time Kerrigan was the only experimental subject left; the remainder, unable to elicit as strong a response from the xenomorphs, were killed to maintain secrecy.
To be fair, WoL's Ghost of Past trailer was awesome as well. The ambiance felt more serious, you could imagine Kerrigan as a fearsome vilain, even the dialogues seemed better. "About time we kicked this revolution into overdrive" felt much less cheesy in the trailer's situation.
It looks quite legit, but I hope now it has leaked, they will change it. Just to surprise all the people who've seen it. + Show Spoiler +
But if it's real, why did kerrigan kill mengsk alone, because in the first episode Jim Raynor was the one who wanted to take his revenge. I think Raynor should get his part in it.
But as always Blizzard will keep his mouth shut untill they release it. And then we'll all see
I really want to go to blizzcon next year and go to a Q&A and just say straight up that the writing in the recent games have just been plain horrible. I literally watched all of the Q&A from blizzcon for the sole reason to see someone question them about their writing. At least one guy at the D3 panel was like, dual crossbows? really? that made me happy.
Until the fans start bringing this to their doorstep (blizzcon) and make them look like fools they wont change their ways. its obvious blizz has realized they can sell just as many copies with a few bells and whistles rather than writing out an amazing story.
Someone posted a blizzcon panel question about kerrigens redemption/punishment. they said kerrigan will be punished for it, and that we dont know all thats going on in Hots, but its pretty evident that the punishment will be "have to die to save the swarm/kill mengsk". lame.
Yeah I'd have to say I'm about 99% sure this is real as well. Sounds like Metzen's crappy voiceovers and it looks like some of the previsualization work shown at blizzcons.
I really don't like this ending though. The zerg are supposed to be evil, rampaging, and out of control
please put spoiler tags in the OP where necessary. It only says "Leaked Heart of the Swarm" on the left side and people might come here to find a leaked copy or just some new info about single player, not spoilers about the ending.

Really? Are you freaking kidding me?
Any combination of the words "leaked" and HOTS are BOUND to have spoilers galor. Its your own fault. AND the videos were in a LINK, so you didn't have to look at hte ending ANYWAYS.
image, wol wouldn't be out yet, you don't know the ending: and suddenly the "fire and fury" cinematic appears. The end of wol leaked, yay! (okay, raynor said there something about the queen of lades and blah, but except the dialogue, it could also be the end of wol (y, it's not prerendered, image it's released in a storyboard stadium. maybe this leaked hots cinematic is some kind of cinematic in the middle? id on't want this to be the end of hots =(
Man, I still don't get why the fuck you would dismiss a race literally made for war right before the final showdown against the Hybrids. Makes zero sense.
The ending is really epic at first, but if you stop and think about it, there's sooooo much bullshit in it. Letting the Zerg free both makes no sense and is a terrible idea, reinfesting Kerrigan makes no sense and is a terrible idea, etc, etc.

Uhh... no. It wasn't epic to begin with, and still isn't. Ya that is only my opinion, but I think plenty of people would agree that right when they saw it they facepalmed.
