its just like someone had a starcraft nightmare, a bad one, and this thing came out of it.
I mean, not only it's slow with an utterly ugly and failed unit animation, but moreover, it doesn't even graphically looks decent. I mean this ? in 2009 ? wtf -_-
Even early War3 looked 10x better.
Not even talking about the gameplay since we had 2 retards playing and 2 other retards babbling about it.
Jesus.
How can you guys with any slight passion for the greatness starcraft is, get thrilled about this?

Ohh thank god someone said this. I was about to ask if they are still working on that new model or not. Well at least we got to see the mountain with 3 mouths.

A few thoughts I have about the BR 2:
[*] Units are much easier to spot now. I had no issues with counting how many zerglings were out for an example. Even with a low quality stream.
It's even better when you play it, I hate how everyone bitched like shit about this when the problem was just bad quality video... geez
Well to be fair it is kinda important to be able to tell easily how many units of what a player got just by a glance even at low quality streams. It is vital if you want things like GomTV.
To my (pleasant) surprise that have already been sorted almost completely.

Calm the fuck down?

I wonder how definite some of this stuff is. Looks like the infestor's been changed a bit (besides the skin). The infest ability is more of a "spawn marines" spell now. And the tech tree was changed : infestor is tier2 and is a prerequisite to hive (instead of nydus network, which, I hope, is still tier2).

I don't like how burrow takes a while to fade away. That was kind of annoying. I couldn't tell if there were still units there or not. -_-
And also...exploding hatchery!!

I'm sorry but you're just an idiot, get your eyes checked out because you're blind.

Hunter seeker missiles seem a little imbalacned right now.
|
much better visually. the pacing of the game still felt weird but it is a new game, afterall. i'll get used to it.
|
I wish the zerg player did more. I mean I didn't see any queen abilities and I only seen the 3mouth mound make some biologically superior marines. He had another 3mouthed mound with his main force in front of the terran base but either I missed it or the observers missed it.

It looks pretty hilarious. For a start it's MASSIVE compared to other Zerg units and it has this huge shiny ass.
That wasn't the new model.

I thought the exact same thing when I first saw it.

I try to ignore the english commentary in these BRs and replace it with MBCGame commentators. I can see it now, "Ahhhh~~!!! HUNTAH SEEKAAAAAAAAH HUNTAAA SEEEKKAAAAAH!!!"

Didn't anybody else think the zergling running animation looked odd? It's not a smooth motion. It's like they jump a bit and then just wait before they do another leap. I already didn't like the zergling movement in the first gamplay video but now it actually seems worse.
Well, I guess they're going to do a lot of work on the whole thing anyway so it might turn ot alright in the end.

I found the zergling animations to be a bit too in sync... to me, anyway. I found it just made them seem in-organic, artificial or something. Although I think alot of different models act in this manner, it just seems most noticeable and irksome with the zerglings

I know this has been posted before, but: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/diablo-hate-internet.php FFS!

The new graphics are sex. Only thing I didn't really like was the way the units, specifically zerglings, turned around, and the fact that you could see the hydra spines. Minor issues. But the new zerg building in progress graphics, the scv death animation, they're sexy.

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DAMAGE
Seriously though, like before the players sucked (ok zerg, you have him "contained", now how about BUILDING A THIRD FFS). I mean did the zerg ever have more than two hatcheries?
What I was most impressed by was the looks. It's certainly a step above warcraft III. The sounds are still recycled though, but that should eventually change.
I still think it has a long long way to go in terms of balance, but the premises are reasonably sound. The tech tree could use some shuffling, maybe a new unit or two. But it should be reasonably balanced by the time the first game comes out, and perfectly balanced by the time the second expansion pack (the third game) comes out.
If "terrible terrible damage" isn't a cheat in Starcraft II I'm going to be very upset.

I think it looks beautiful... but then again I think Brood War looks fine.
