New Screenshot

No problem Happens to the best of us

 

the forcefields that the nullifiers do look alot more polished then from the BRs. looks like a clear waterish type thing. thats pretty cool.

 

At least they are better then the Arbiter's Stasis Field from Brood War.

 

ya but the mothership has that black hole thing which is worst then stasis imo.

 

From memory, that's how they've always looked. It's just that screenshots are in much higher quality and resolution and you can zoom in and what not.

 

The original Planet Cracker was the most epic animation ever, though. Or the Time Bomb. Still one of my favourite abilities, to bad it got axed and replaced by the invisibility stuff, which basically turns the MS into an even bigger target.

 

can it still cloak buildings or it only cloaks units like the arbiter?

 

If you check BR 3 you will notice that this is not true. The animation was not so good.
I noticed that they changed the animation in july with the "singleplayer gameplay" footage..

 

Like I said, how they look in the lossy video Battle Reports is misleading. You've got to remember that the video is in relatively low quality compared to the screenshots and that the force field, being a mirror, reflects and changes to it surroundings. That means that it can look different from place to place. Also, the video's resolution can make it so that the "bubble" looks flat and without that same mirror sheen and water-esque quality.

I've seen unofficial screenshots in the past which look either exactly the same or incredibly similar. I've lost my unofficial screenshot collectiion, though, so I cannot check for myself. However, you've said they've changed it since about July which I can agree with. So, no argument here.

 

Alsof buildings, as far as I know.

 

The Dark Pylon doesn't cloak anymore right? I mean, I saw in the Battle Reports where it didn't but maybe it's upgradeable or something.

 

nope, the DP doesn't cloack. only MS does

 

I thought so. I was 99.99% sure.

 

According to this the Mothership can cloak buildings as well as units.

On to the screenshot: check the building cocoon next to all the Spine Crawlers; you can see what may have once been a Drone swimming around in there. Gotta love the little details that have been put in so far

 

Blizzard is king of "minor details that go a long way" LD

 

Indeed. Just look at the background of the Zerg "briefing room" in the original game. You can clearly see that the walls are made from Drones that have stretched themselves out. Nice.

 

The Hive definitely looks amazing.

 

Let's not forget the human spine and skull wrapping around the 'start' crystal :twitcy:

 

Very nice, the zerg looks very zerggy.

 

I love the way zerg looks! Blizzard really is doing a great job.
