In game Cinematic

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

the cinematics in sc1 were awsome, even though they didnt have much to do with the story lols. Its because 10 years ago tech sucked, and they didnt have much experience with cgi.
The intro to brudewar was a perfect way to introduce the UED, also they didnt want to show the toss and zerg in the cgi because they knew it would end up looking silly, although the death of fenix was awsome.

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

ya you make a good point BUT I'M going to go now, get a pic from the cinematic and compaire it to a hydralisk and then you'll see...Crap I don't know how to put images on forums...oh and copy/past dosent work.

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

Ooooh wouldn't it be cool for like in the final cinematic it's revealed that the perpetrator of this conflict between the Zerg, Terran and Protoss was an infested Lester?

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

no not realy, it was the xel'naga that created the protoss and zerg and terrans were just all these convicts that where part of an experiment to create an extra-solair collonie but whent horibly wrong and the navigationnal computers sent the ship and all of its cargo over 100 times farser than it was soposed to. Now some body please tell me how to put an image in the forums?...but that would be funny!

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

The cinematics of the first SC were the best in their time 10 years ago, but at that time , CGI wasn't so evolved as now
Blizzard always made Visual Breath Taking Cinematics, and i'm extremely positive that SC2 won't disappoint

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

Ya and you can realy see the difference that 2 years made, I meen at least in the brood war cinnematics the mouth movement looks real and not like that stupid ghost on the amerigo with no facial expresions whatsoever!

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

THERE I DID IT!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA who's laugthing now!

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

They aren't Hydralisks. They're supposed to be Zerglings.

And the Terrans shipped from Earth weren't an experiment, they were criminals the world could do without.

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

yer they were supposed to be zerglings i think, so hard to tell because the cgi, ingame graphics and artwork for the zerg all look completely different rofl

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

no way is that supposed to be a zergling, its a crappy hydra. CGI was bad back then =]

 

Re: starcraft 2 cinematics?

its probably just a cross between zerg and hydralisk, the units in the game are only like the main strands of the broods

 

haha nice.. thats really good. I guess you're right.

Yeah it looks like a mix of a zergling and hydra haha.

 

Thats what I ment, when blizzard first created the zerglings, they looked like mini hydra's with to giant fang things, legs and claws. Not like most people thought they looked like wich was some thing like a snaping turtle but withought the turtle.

 

I heard though that the BW intro was made during the beta of SC... I'll try and find a link for it. I mean the hydras even melee'd in the beta!

 

that may be so BUT ITS STILL A ZERGLING!

 

well the starcraft 2 cinematics will probably be accurate and not contradictory because they've got it all figured out now

 

As for in-game auto cinematics it might be annoying but it could be useful when selecting one group of men. For example, several of the SC2 screenshots have hills two or three times higher than normal, and it might be difficult to see troops behind them. Say if you select one group of troops, the game could automatically angle the view for a better look at your troops to get the best view of that force.

 

well i was thinking more allong the lines of a free movie camera, don't get me wrong starcraft should stay mostly single camera so I was thinking just zoom in and out and rotate the camera or maybe that cool thing that most rts's do with the camera when you zoom in realy close like in warcraft 3 the camera chages angles?

 

These forms of non control rotating cinematics already exist in sc2 as if you review the gameplay video you will see that when the zerglings unborrow and attack the zealots the interface "warped" away and the camera panned around and spun just watching the zerglings before finally going back to normal. But that was only a demo video and the presenter said there are going to be changes so these cinematics may be in the game OR. maybe not......

 

No, it really wont.
