Starcraft 2 Looks (visual appearance)

It find it quite cool that a world has deep reefs with mist in it, you even see big trees coming out of it, it probably is crawling with lifeforms down there. A true paradise yeah. I don't want a valley with sheep as a paradise

 

yeah, thats basiclly what i meant, i jsut quiet say it right, its jsut as unique as the rest of starcraft, and its something different, i hope the rest of the tile set has crashed spaceships and things like that in it.

 

O sorry, I thought you meant it didn't look like a paradise ;D

 

I dont really find the green in the new leak appealing, but the stage that they used for the long video in the official SC2 webpage was cool.

 

I dont know, I believe it will be nice to have the variety we've seen.

You have the space platform, which looks "gritty", you have char, which is dark and glowing. And then we have the jungle setting, bright and colorful.

The 3 environments make the units and buildings look different. Check out how different the command center looks between the 3 environments. You have the long shadows on the char planet, and the sun is overhead on the jungle planet. It just is freaking awesome!

The voice in the game play trailer seemed to suggest that there would be many different environments, and the space setting looks grittier than my kitchen sink.

 

Im right there with ya edwardluke. I saw the grass on the leaked video, and it looks like the grass is made of Neon, its soooo bright. i hope they throw some grit into that grass because neon grass is a WC3 thing, not a SC thing ><. also i hope the units and buildings arent so... bubbly. know what i mean? WC3 units are too poofy to be taken seriously. they just look like cute little teddy bears. I want the zealot to look like a hellish warrior who would slice my head off in a second. Not a cute little bubbly pile of cuteness that couldn't hurt a blade of grass lol.

 

If you want to know how i feel - just look at what JudasXPriest wrote.

EXACTLY!

Thank you.

Pleeease Blizzard stay away from WC3 when making SC2! They are compltetly different games. Seperate the two, keep them as defined from each other as possible!

Alright fine I can see why you like some variety, but for me starcraft shouldn't be so toy-like. It's meant to be DANGEROUS. WAR. DESTRUCTION. DIRT. I want the marine to look like he's gonna shoot me with his gun for looking at him funny... not give me a big group hug and move out to go read some zerg a bedtime story. I think that the terran should look much less perfect from what i've seen, they should look a little more... scarred... And although the protoss arn't too bad they need to be more mysterious and less (as JudasXPriest put it) "bubbly". The zerg better be very very slimey.

Maybe we should just cut down on the number of colours blizzard are allowed to use. They seem to be getting bright colour happy. Would a real world paradise have dyed grass? I thinks not!

Sorry sometimes SC2 makes me get very emotional

 

i hope it rain and snow (snow flakes falling) in starcraft2. that would be a major bonus.

i think the overall look of starcraft is fine. my only problem is the siege tanks model in siege mode and how the battlecruiser dies (toyish). :no:

 

ya weather effects in game would pwn the enviroment presented all in all imo are superb each having their own feel

 

SC2 looks really good ... but i dont want it lookin like warcraft .... starcraft has always been its own game.. and i hope that even though the technology to make incredible graphics are available... that blizzard makes starcraft completly unique while still keepin the same kickass gameplay and visual that weve loved for years

 

Starcraft units and building looks like frinkin toys :bad:

 

For an alpha build I think they look pretty good. There are def. a few units that I would change; namely the muta and the reaver but there is still plenty of time to iron out the looks of the game. It's the mechanics that i'm worried about.

 

I would like the reaver to look like the one in my avatar (which is a 3D model by the way)
If I can do it, Blizzard can definitely do it.

The tank also looks pretty cartoony.

 

I like the new looks of the Muta. The mutalisks in original SC are incredibly stupid looking. The new Muta is creepier, with a more intimidating "sharp fangs" "claws" thing going for it that the giant seagull/bat/monster with giant penis tongue, simply lacked. owerup:

 

i will say that the Terran siege Tank and bulding(Turret Tower) look like toys :bad:

 

Yeah the Tanks look like something I'd find in Toys R Us.

Mutalisks are fine, I like the dragon heads on 'em but their attack is kind of bland looking.

 

the rim on the tanks cannon look like lips. big red kissing lips. ;D owerup:

lol, what should i do, make out with the tank or try to kill it with my immortal? ???

 

i agree with all post about the tanks looking toyish... i think a simple 3d model of the classic siege tank would be great i loved the original

 

ya it was the best lol

 

i wonder if the siege tank will have new abilities? I wouldn't mind seeing an energy based upgrade that allows the tank to fire a fake nuke. (just think of the scared opponent frantically freaking, trying to fidn the ghost. Or using a fake nuke launch while the ghost launches a real one.) I would get freaky because they might like make 10 fake nuclear launches, it would be very distracting!
