I know, the old StarCraft units look absolutely AMAZING compared to the new ones.

Holy shit, this reminds me at C&C

Thanks to all Swedish ppl for translation.
Thor looks fucked up and mega huge. Instead of producing one, why not make a super recipe, 2 Goliaths, 2 vultures, 2 tanks, 2 BC and 1 All Spark mineral.

I know your post is trying to be sarcasm, but really; all the new StarCraft models are inferior to the designs in the first game.

I actually think most of the original starcraft unit artwork looks much better than sc2's units also but the good thing about developing games is that the art is very likely to be changed before release, I pray

forgot to add my opinion of the scans, they look like fucking Diablo 1. High Templar (Cain) : "Good day to you, Dark Templar (monk). Please go in the corrupted Gateway, and kill the twilight archon. Do it and I will give you free storm research."

I keep reminding myself that SC had flying workers and Larvae at every Zerg building and all manner of outlandish looking unit models when it was still in Alpha.
And SC2 hasn't even got that far yet.

I'm gonna doubt the legitimacy of these. Blizzard wouldn't "release" so many units at once.

Which is why posting about the game now is important. Units like Thor and the Mothership can be removed if they are rejected enough.

Oh boy, I can't wait for the Terran Odin. Might as well add in some of the Greek/Roman gods as well.
DTs really look ridiculous.
*Still waiting for Terran Gundams*

Except not everyone hates them. I like the mothership and we don't know enough about thor to make a judgment on it. If it's just like a tank-ish goliath, then I think we probably don't need it, but wait until the official news of it comes out before making judgments.

I really don't know what to think after these... part of me hopes they are true, while the other doesn't.

Whatever man. I think it's cool. But then again, I'm looking forward to a new game.

I'm trying to pinpoint why the graphics in the game look so bad. I think it has to do with the team colors overtaking the models. You can tell what team a unit belongs to easily enough, but you can't tell what the unit is. It's just this blob of teal, or red, or orange.

Nine years of familiarity and nostalgia associated to the old units does not mean they have a better design. The first time I saw a reaver, I thought it looked rediculous, but now I love it. Starcraft does NOT have amazing graphics and unit models, everyone knows that (at least I thought). It's just the super cool story and top-notch gameplay that make the dull graphics insignificant.
Basically, it's getting annoying and redundant to hear people constantly bitching about how they don't like the new graphics when sc's graphics were nothing to shake a stick at. If you think I'm wrong, show me an example where a sc unit model is clearly better than a scII model.

I'm not going to take the time to post a side-by-side comparison of every SCII model to its counterpart in the first game.

I actually think SCs graphics are extreeeeeemely charming, and I've barely ever liked 3D graphics outside of a game.
That being said the SC2 graphics look completely fine in the sc2 gameplay videos.
