Graphics

There is a reason the Protoss look better than the Terran and Zerg: they were featuring the Protoss, so they put more effort into the Protoss art for the demos. When they feature the Terran and Zerg races later on, you'll see better art for those races.

 

I didn't think the zerg looked that bad, or the terrans really. The terrans just looked more obviously 'plastic' than the other races in what they showed.

 

We shouldn't really knock on it, because obviously, they're not done yet.  This stuff is all demo, and teasers.  I'm sure they're gonna polish the devil out of it, knowing Blizz.

 

The graphics are great considering it's a Blizzard game(No offense or anything, just seems that most your the games are cartoony). Warcraft...Starcraft...if they didn't have good gameplay no one would like it. Finally, it looks like the new generation of RTS games, just like C&C3, Supreme Commander, that kinda stuff.

 

I suppose you're right, the Zerg were ok, but also remember, they only showed four units, it may well be that the units they didn't present don't look as nice. With the Terrans, they showed 6 units and well as 4 buildings: assuming they spent similar amounts of time on both races, it makes sense that the Terrans, would have a bit less polish than the Zerg.

 

Those Nydus Worms are GODS though. The Bane needs a tad of polish, just a spit and rub, and the new 'lings look amazing.

 

Anybody seen the graphics of that Warcraft 3 mod entitled Project Revolution? They managed to transfer most of the game to the WC3 engine. If you think that SC2 looks warcraftish you'll have to campare it with PR. They look muuuuuch different, therefore Sc2 does not currently look like Warcraft 3, nor like Starcraft. It looks unique. It has lots of influences from both engines, but it's a new game with a new look. You'll see that after it's out, when Diablo 3 or Warcraft 4 come out everybody'll look at their gameplay trailers and say "Gosh, the graphics are really Starcraft 2-ish!".

 

Lol are you kidding.. they look lame =\ They're like a horde of grasshoppers now with the wings. They need to be more reptilian like instead of buglike.

Zerg were always had a slimey reptilian style to them, I hope they don't alter them and make them too buglike. I will make an exception.. Star Troops grunt bugs were cool, but besides that.. nah. I like the more of a Jerrassic feel.

 

those locusts are from a spell, not zerg units itself

 

My friend, those are most certainly 'lings

Exhibit A

 

gee then the lings are not as good looking as they used to be

 

You mean when they were tiny mishapen triangles with claws?

Exhibit B:

 

I agree with you though, because I actually thought they were locusts at first because they DO look so different than the original Zerglings. Then again, maybe that was the point of why Blizzard made them look that way. After all, the Zerg themselves can kind of be considered a locust swarm at a downright alien level.

Personally though I wish they'd show us what they did with the Ultralisks (a personal wish).

 

yeah dude, I hate the grasshoper/bug-like look.. I liked the more dog-like raptor styling of the zerglings before.

2 things look really bad in SC2..
-Siege Tanks
-Zerglings

 

I like how the Zerglings look when in big swarms. It's like a liquid that dissolves everything... And Collosi dry them up

 

Exactly dude. It's a Biblical Plague of Locusts, aka Zerlgin' swarms.

And the Ultras have gotta look pimp.

 

What is going on? Didn't we like the zerglings from before? Didn't we love how they 'burst' when they died? Come on

 

Well Blizz said in the demo that the zerg have kept evolving, maybe the new 'lings have new abilities.

 

NO NEW ABILITIES. Zerglings are the lowly starting units that work well in great numbers. They burrow and can now mutate to Banelings. That's enough. I think that their wings are good for going down cliffs, that would look like a hell of a chase, but no going up.

 

wanna compare a game with it...compare it with ratchet and clank...seriously it has a resemblance
