Screenshots: (these are AMAZING)



Massive psionic storm!! i must say the animation on this one is looking good!



I love the tile set in the background really feels like starcraft has been taken to a whole new level!



The race color differences are really popping but not to much as to anger the fanboys!



Love the animation for the lift off ability and everything just feels softer and more polished then ever



The green might be a little to much but it probably plays better, oh its three way battle! epic.



I just ****ted my pants is it just me or do those colossus's have dual beams?? Zerg defences are.. interesting?



Love the blue tint and i no longer feel the protoss are less gold as they were in BR3!! Thors awesome too

 

Ultralisk looks bad ass but some of the zerg units such as the corrupter feel like there fuzzy to me.. anyone else?



Here the green looks good and the zerg look very zergish.. but some of the main bases look squashed to me..



Wow those zerg buildings are huge but i love how you deffinently know that those are the Red Zerg! i cannot wait for this game!

In Addition to these screenshots there have been several Unit and Building renders released!

View them here!!

Although it wasnt beta it was alot of exciting news and beautiful screenshots i hope you enjoyed it!!

Several forumers have already created topics involving certain aspects of the press release that were less then.. well good. Heres links to each one.

Nice find. Will look into it later on.

EDIT: are those tanks firing when lifted off by Phoenixes?

 

Seradin could you link to the new discussens getting up on our page too. Like mine on the tech-trees and GMG's on the "no lan thingy"?
