STARCRAFT 2 ZERG Announcement Thread
- Thread starter Zyzyxxz
- Start date
Dude, its Samwise..he's been around for the longest time with Blizzard. And he's the art director of Blizzard. But I agree that he's not used to drawing mechas lolProelite said:I concur. Blizzard needs to replace some of the art staff since a lot of the units look they were designed by an amature. I.E. Seige tanks, lurkers, and the new infestors.
Case in point. The god awful Mecha concept art.

Joke post?aznpxdd said:
I don't know if you played Starcraft+Broodwar but I sure have. The reason I bring this up is that I'm afraid they will go all out too much. Meaning that people will rush with a type of unit and you are dead because there is no way you can get any unit to counter it yet. The problem as I see it is that it will be another Starcraft and we will have to wait untill an expansion before its really balanced.Minsc said:
That might be true actually but come on! Blizzard are bound to make a bad game sometime.Zyzyxxz said:
rezuth said:
the video demonstrations are exaggerated to make the new units look cool.
The game will come out polished and balance. When was the last time Blizzard made a bad game?
Somebody tell me please?
rezuth said:
not a joke post, just because the Ultralisk or Mothership are giant and strong as hell does not mean you cannot spend the same amount of resources to counter it.
rezuth said:
Uh, you can build multiple Thors (if that's the one you think is super) and Motherships, they are not super units. They have been tweaked by Blizzard to become normal units. So yeah, do some research before talking.
As for the Queen, since it was just announced yesterday, there's not much detail on it. But so far we know its meant for base defense, not offense.
I never said you could not build multiple thors or Motherships. I have done research and as far as I can tell they are MUCH better than normal units. So I call them super(You know as in something extremly good) units for that very reason.aznpxdd said:
I suppose you have forgotten the Zerg spawning time, Marines not having medics, Marines cost, Build time and units spell time. The list goes on and on, I think people are forgetting it took many patches untill we came as far as we are today.Zyzyxxz said:

Here's a trick question. How many years between the release of Starcraft and Brood War? Answer:
0
Furthermore, I don't think you're understanding the checks and balances gameplay. If people rush with a type of unit that is extremely specialized, it will more than likely die. A unit that is meant to be built for taking out a certain type of unit generally has a lot more weaknesses than a typical unit to offset it's ability to kill that certain unit type very well.
Zyzyxxz said:Look at the ferocity of the guy on the left... you can see it under his calm demeanor, once the match gets going he turns into a beast.
Can't forget about his opponent though, the intensity of his focus only shows how many years of training has gone under his belt.
You want to hump him, don't you?

I have done research, thank you. I had actually not been able to find the stats from the latest build. Could you care to link me since I want to check out some more stuff. I will be the first to admit I was wrong but if you agreed with me. The stats before this build was making it look like a super unit.aznpxdd said:
The stats you posted is when Mothership was still a superunit.
You can find the rest of the stats here.

You could always play an RPG if you don't like RTS games so much.Haunted One said:

it felt tacked on and stupid if you ask me.
I like everything I've heard so far about SC2. Honestly I never liked all the micro in Warcraft 3, and it sounds like SC2's not going to have as much of that. Plus all the big armies and lack of heroes sound great.
Zerg look awesome. I just hope Protoss is better balanced since they always seemed to have a few units that were game breaking in their cost/power compared to similar units.

They're doing it the proper way, leaving all the inventory and leveling between the campaign levels only (and only in Terran campaign too). I'd be extremely upset to find out Starcraft II micro turned in to Warcraft 3's macro gameplay, which is really just microing the macro better than your opponent. Save the RPG/RTS hybrid enthusiasm for Warcraft IV or DoW:2 (which does the heroes aspect much better than WC3 for me).
Heroes, inventory management, experience, and that stuff fits better in a TBS, where you play at a pace more conductive to it. Games like Heroes or Disciples are great examples of having RPG elements in a strategy game.
I just don't understand the draw of collecting items and equipping them and leveling up individual units, when all that does is provide a distraction to the main element of a RTS game, co-ordinating your forces/army in a superior way, and adapting to and exploiting your opponents armies/strengths/weaknesses. Starcraft is at its finest just focusing on the building, resource control, and battles. Moving focus on to collecting artifacts or gaining experience would take away from what draws so many people to the game I think.

the voiceover sounded better in the cam though. oh well. also a little too much warcraft actually in those "in-game cinematic" moments. the art direction I mean, looks like world of warcraft.

I thought it was their cinematics group that made all those awesome CG that people liked, the kind of concept art they were used to pumping out were obviously great when they were designing sprites and maybe even for WOW where we're not dealing with a shit-ton of polygons or highly detailed characters, and one can see that they're working closely with their cinematics team because the briefing room character models looked pretty good but the concept art? Why would the concept art cut it looking like that? Maybe the actual units would need to be kept simple enough with only certain things accentuated but the actual concept art itself isn't exactly stellar.
And where's Kerrigan?
