Gripes on things revealed in the three new screenshots

btw, i also hope they just remove all the dark templar buildings. It looks horrible to have two different colored buildings and building styles in your base. If they made it the same color as the normal protoss buildings that would make it a lot better.

 

Look at the tempest, or the stalker, or the soul hunter. All the DT units are a blueish/grayish colour. it's not that confusing tbh.

 

yea but it's annoying. I like the look of the yellowish/gold of the normal protoss air units and buildings with the little colored markings. The DT color's make it looks bland and boring.

 

no1 seems to be comenting on the DT in screenshot2

 

yes but they don't fit well with the colors or models of the "original" protoss. they (dark templars units and structures) look like some other race.

 

As in the unit Dark Templar? There is no Dark Templar in any of the screenshots. There are soul hunters in it but no dark templar.

 

there is a dark templar in screenshot 2, next to the marines

 

where? i dont see it.

 

it's right next to the laser the soul hunter's firing at the marines.

 

well, the graphics are probobaly i hope just there beta versoin that blizz works with and that miracoulouly they look at this website for ideas, but i really hope these are not gameplay graphics but just were working graphics, if not sc2 is a tottal drop for me after waiting ten years i excpect starcraft quality stuff not warcraft crap, thats all i got to say.


yes ok i was really orried this might cheer some of you up, heres a quote from the interview

"The interview however also suggests that none of the units we see now are final or even close to it. It appears Blizzard are still heavily designing units, adding ideas, and scrapping them."

 

the psi blades with the cloaks behind them (look very closely)

 

The DTs are hard to spot, in fact, those "blue energy looking things" next to the soul hunter doesn't look very much like DTs.

And how small are the interceptors? They are like little bugs flying around now.
I like the zealot's blade colour. Except if the player's colour is brown, then it'll look hideous.

Overall the units look pretty cool, I think reavers in both sc1 & sc2 looks alright. It's just that the structures look a bit cartoony, more so than the tanks

 

The only thing I have to complain about is the new Reavers look and the Tempests size. Seriously, why would they want to replace the Warp-Rays as the new flag-ship. Tempests are soo small compared to the Warp-Rays and not to mention, the size of their interceptors. As for the Reavers, the thing is looking very goofy. It definitelly needs to be changed.

As for the Orange Protoss, it kind of shocked me when I saw the screenshot of it. But it kind of grew onto me a bit later on because IMO, it actually looks kind of unique and cool. Maybe some tweaks here and there, and I think it's fine. I like the new supply depots actually. Looks very cute. The Terran buildings also look much better than the ones they had before back in May 19th. They actually put in the extra details in it.

Also about the new Terran vehicle, I wonder if it actually is a Vulture? Myguess is, it will probably be a hugely revamped vehicle like how big the revamp the Phoenix and Corsairs/Scouts were. But I'm thinking it might work kind of similiar to a vulture/goliath in between. What do you guys think?Not to mention, does anyone find the Siege tanks are looking better than before? They don't look goofy anymore. I actualy think that the Siege tanks look are pretty good looking after the new change. I'm glad that Blizzard listened to their fans.

So, guys, don't give up. If there is something that we think that truely isn't good, if we all voice our displeasure, I'm sure Blizzard will take that into account.

 

pink protoss will look ridiculously dumb.
the only ones that will look nice are blue, dark blue, red, dark red, white, and light blue. And maybe yellow.

I sorta see the cape of something that, if it is a cape, could only be the dark templar. There are also some curved shiny blade things that seem to be wielded by silver metallic colored units. This could just be debris though.

If the new terran hover vehicle replaces the vulture, cool. If it replaces the goliath, boo.

 

Check out IGN.com for more screenshots with the team color aspect, and some interesting information about the Protoss tech-tree... I made a topic about it in the Protoss Units & Structures section, btw.

ok i see it. its a dark templat on its back. maybe. thanks.

i dont see any difference in the siege tanks. looks the same. still looks ugly with their lips.

 

Complaining about graphics is foolish. Do you even know how easy it is for them to edit a model? They said they would focus on balancing and designing units. All they want is something they can work with. After they are done figuring out which units are cool and balanced then I bet they will really work on the texturing and modeling. For now im sure they are just testing, balancing, and designing units. Not making them look pretty. Back on topic. The coloring of the crystals and stuff is a little overdone, they need to change the coloring system... Maybe if they had just the lights on the Zealot powerpack or the rings on the pylons. At first I thought it was an upgrade to the pylon (Maybe make its energy field bigger) The reavers i thought looked better when they were organic, but to fit with the protoss theme I think its better that they are more robotic. I agree the terrans should get a badge or something on their shields. (off topic) *I think bayonets and shields rock! GO BLIZZARD* If you played Warhammer 40k you would like bayonets!

 

Take note at this screenshot:

What is that new terran building at the left? It looks like a rocket ready for takeoff LOL. Could that actually be the new nucleur silo? Also, take a look at the unit between the 2 bunkers. What unit is that? Is that a ghost? Cause it doesn't really look like one to me. But the build of it looks a little similiar to it too. What are your guys thought?

 

I do indeed think that is a ghost, and I found that building rather peculiar myself. It's hard to make predictions as to what its function will be, but I don't think that it is a nuclear silo.
(And thank you Ych9 for editing your post =D, I figured I'd do the same to keep the thread on topic)

 

My bad, sorry I didn't see your post. I will delete the ones linking to it to give you the credit.
My apologizes.
