Interceptors die off instantly, instead of a bit after the carrier. The reaver clearly did shoot once(and killed a single reaper). The shield thing is graphical, and an excellent display of the new physics system. The game calculates the angle of attack and creates the shield graphic around the impact point, making the shields look and behave in a much more realistic manner than the sprites of BW. | ||

Guess we'll have to get used to continuous lasers as being a semi-trademark of Protoss or something like that, in SC2. | ||

You can see the very same shield graphic apear for the hits from different sides, it's just covers the lower part of the ship, unlike the other shield graphics which are around the damaged point. | ||

Photon Cannons no longer popup and retract after each shot ala the older zerglings vs psi storm video. Instead they stay up when they fire. Also in the same clip, you can see a terran base in the corner and it appears there is a new building up there, perhaps a Science Facility? | ||

The 'theme' of Protoss units has so far been historical/ancient human titles: Dragoon is the traditional name for a soldier trained to fight on foot but transport himself on horseback. Knights Templar, a medieval Christian military order that was very prominent in the Crusades. Archons - From time to time, laity of the Orthodox Church in communion with the Patriarch of Constantinople have been granted the title of Archon to honor their service to Church administration. (Also from ancient Greece) Scout - duh Corsairs were French privateers from the north-western French port of St-Malo, located on the northern coast of Brittany. (mostly definitions from Wiki) ---- And yeah, first Reapers being ripped off of Assasult Marines, now Soul Hunters being ripped from Necron. Does Blizzard even have a concept team anymore? | ||

Also, I think the reaver only looks so small because they scene is zoomed out really far. The Stalkers are tiny! edit: god typos. Edit edit! However, Phase Prisms could perhaps do a kind of leapfrogging thing. It'd be slow, but you could move those cannons around the map. Probably too slow to do any good. Edit Edit Edit: decafchicken beat me to it. See next post. | ||

It might be mostly or partially because I am reluctant to accept a change in appearance from SC1 so I am willing to give it a chance. But the fact that many people have the same opinion as me in regards to the cartoonish appearance makes me a bit worried. | ||

it looks exactly like command and conquer/red alert 2. im very disapointed at the animation, wtf is with all the lasers and shit? archon doesnt even look tough, shoots some electricity? and in the begining the units attacking the command center looks horrible with the laser, im mean seriously , this is turning command and conquer expansion: sc2. u know 1 of the creator who worked for c&c or red alert 2 was part of the sc2 creating team, no wonder sc2 and c&c2 share so much in common, if this continue its gonna be a failure | ||

Look, 99% of the games coming out today are copycats of other shitty games. They are 90% graphics, 5% story, 5% gameplay. So for once, i would like to see games that are actually tested for competitive gaming (how many games get that chance?), have good gameplay and are being though, planned and being amde for so long. Do you think anyone would whine on W3 aspects if the game had a better gameplay? (im not saying W3 is a bad game). Blizzard might surprise us. I believe. | ||

Like I just said, I have a lot of confidence that this game will be extremely fun and playable, but the graphics and look of it I do have concerns with. Like it or not appearance is a big factor for a game, especially a game that has the potential to be a huge spectator e-sport. | ||
