also, there would be no need for activision-blizz to go nuts shutting down the vids if this was all a scrapped idea for WoL also, Kerrigan mentions something about a "deal" that she has to keep, referring to her leaving humanity to its fate to stay with the zerg | ||

Okay, okay. Turns out Diablo was once a peaceful and caring steward of the lands, then he was corrupted by the ancient alien evil that wants to KILL EVERYONE and turned into such a horrible demon. As random adventurers, you must assemble the But all is not well, for a hastily drawn peace is established between the humans, and the hellspawn, thus leading to... + Show Spoiler + World of Diablo. | ||

The BW voices are used, er what? same voices as WoL as far as I can tell... and there are some major inconsistencies, the biggest one being that Kerrigan is still fully infected of course. Isn't it more likely that this is a WoL clip (probably the ending) that was scrapped? Well, given the point of HoTS is kerrigan controlling the zerg sort of, and it's been suggested the customization of kerrigan herself provides the research/upgrade mechanic that such upgrades will be physically indicated. Thus at the end of WoL she will likely be all zerg-blinged out again. Makes sense to me at any rate. Still, you might be right. It could be a scrapped ending, which is why it has been leaked (in the sense that the guy doesn't care so much about it any more). I really, really hope so, and that the replacement is better, but I somehow doubt it. Believe me, Blizzard has been working on HoTS for at least three years already, and this is beyond the time where they can be making any major story changes in the development cycle | ||

artist seems to have uploaded it to vimeo probably as private to either show someone at blizzard or show a friend and accidently made it public without realising. Activision Games is shutting the video down everywhere as quickly as possible. seriously they caught onto it DAMN FAST. if it was a scrapped ending for WoL why would they care. it fits with the ongoing storyline. kerrigan being re-infested as she re-takes control of the swarm and helps raynor kill mengsk to overthrow the dominion and avenge her betrayel. but. it's awful. it couldn't be worse. the entire dark voice. big baddie whose evil for the sake of being evil is retarded and doesn't fit at all. bad guys were always the zerg. who were always had motivation for what they were doing. dark voice is just "PURE EVUL HUR DUR" sigh. now we have nice cuddly zerg who wont attack terrans anymore. fantastic. starcraft universe just became 1000x more boring. | ||

Well if anything we have been hearing from blizzard is true, HoTS will have some RPG elements revolving around kerrigan, (think of the research etc in the hyperion) so during the game kerrigan will regain her abilities (in game you would get more zerg units and abilities). By the end of the game kerrigian could be back to her fully infested self. But yeah thats just a theory, it could be a scrapped WOL ending. Edit: Thereisnosaurus beat me to it and said it better than i did | ||

SC2 was worked on for YEARS before we even saw the 1st image of it. Blizzard are the KINGS of keeping shit airtight. any other company and i'd say maybe, but blizzard dont leak stuff. Especially not the ending to the game. except blizzard didn't leak it. another studio they seemed to have outsourced to did. | ||
