Gripes on things revealed in the three new screenshots

i got to agree that SC is loosing its style. SC2 is too cartoonish, protoss look like plastic toys:buildings and units. Too much WC influence going on here. Spacialy the engine looks like WC. Tell you the truth that iv never even played WC but from the looks of it the WC style in taking over the SC style.
If you look at the starcraft's history, in the alfa it looked like warcraft in space. thats what i see here happening Warcraft in space. If they are realy building the best rts, they should realy put more details into the work.

 

yes we all know how shitty the alpha starcraft looked
WarCraft in SPACE!!!

 

hmm i think most of the stuff looks like a toy ,

the supply depo looks bad, the pic paragon supplyed i think would be awesome but it wouldent fit in with the rest of the buildings .

the new protoss building doesent look like it fits in

whats with those colors on the zelots ? ewwww i mean the psi blades should stay blue

But as for the reaver i like their new version better. looks sweet . plus wasent a reaver originaly for mining ? it should have some psycadelic lights on it like that lol .

They seem to have been giving the whole game a kid look to it and i dont think thats right, the marines should splatter like hadean said, and frankly, i think they should compleatly redo the whole terrian race except for the reapers. i liked the gritty feel of the terrians in starcrat 1

and what are those in the bottom left of the first picture ?

 

Those are probes.

 

In my honest opinion, the team that is developing StarCraft 2 really need to get back in touch with the original StarCraft unit elements. I agree with Paragon (and a few others) on how bad the reaver looks, It looks like a damn pokemon.

Do not get me started with the Probe... What the hell?! What happened to aggressive angular look?! The Pylons look like giant Christmas light bulbs. Siege Tanks should have a better siege mode look, it does not look threatening at all while in siege mode.

Come on Blizzard! 10 years and we get this?!

Reminiscent of WarCraft... I think this an attempt to ride the wave of the WarCraft line.

Now do not get me wrong, I like the fact that they finally announced StarCraft 2, but don't we deserve better?

 

amen to that!

About Project Revolution tho, does anyone know when it'll be finished?

 

barracks now have nuke silos? and factories have physics labs!?

 

ah good gamespot has got the first two videos uploaded, sc2 is next!

 

jeeze, noobs on this forum never cease to amaze, how many of you understand the meaning of pre-alpha. Any complaints about texturing, shading, detail is a waste of time because as we can all see they havn't done that much on the graphics side yet.

 

guess they'll scrap the science facility then.

 

I agree and it appears the screens are low resolution to.

 

lol.

yah, they should make it more realisitc and think of mature or rated R feel (dont know what to say). :

 

lmao you dont know that those two add ons shown are those you can not go by looks alone

 

The supply depots don't look that bad, all they need is alittle rust, sharp corners and afew spinning fans and they will be fine!

 

You don't know how much they have done on the graphics and how much they will change it. There were lots of complaints about the symbol on the marine shield and now the symbol is gone. Maybe they actually look at this stuff or maybe they decided it on their own. We don't know.

And I am the one raising these issues. A noob is someone new and unaware of how things work. I have more posts then everyone. I have more posts then the second and third person combined. Nothing is posted on on this forum without me knowing about it. I am one of the farthest things from a noob here. Most of the posts on this forum is a waste of time because we don't know that much about the game so most of the posts are pure speculation.

ElemenTT - the add on to the barracks is not a nuke silo. It doesn't even really look like the nuke silo. Plus you can see inside of it if you look at the high res version.

I have the higher res ones, those were shrunken to fit the forum.

 

i wasn't refering to you specifically paragon, ever since the game was announed there has been an endless wave of comments about the graphics. Almost all pre-alpha games are completely brocken and look like shit when they are announed

 

i find the graphics rather upsetting but we will hopefully see improvements as pointed out before. And to quote a youtube commenter:
Gameplay>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>graphics

 

well it's nice to see some new sceens, but I dont really care if some of this looks very bad. This is just pre-alpha, and have you seen some of the sc1 pre-alpha screens? Anyways, my point is I don't really care about these things, except for the fact that the tempest is too small. The new terran vehical is too hard to see, but it seems OK.

 

hey paragon i just added another power up to you for your prize in my artwork. 5 more left.

you 2 flying tiger. no more left for you (total of 3 power ups).

.....................

forget the high resolution versions. .
we need the high quality or high definition versions (not blur etc.). haha.
the real one, in game mode image versions (the 3d).

or is it not possible?

and the supply depots looks cute. maybe add some more sharpness or detailed edges to it.
it looks like a hamburger or something edible to me (or a fastfood, canteen, or restaurant or a lunch pack). yum. and whats with the yellow black stripes on the supply depot. jeezz. toyish.
