StarCraft II Q&A - Batch 51 Released, Sort of...

We've got a new Starcraft 2 Update loaded with a new video involving death animations which look Awesome as usual!! thank you blizzard.

Go here to view the new video: http://www.starcraft2.com/features/misc/deathanimations.xml

​

In any case, Q&A Batch 51 is expected tomorrow according to Karune, and as a warmup (or teaser) he also let out a few new unit death animations. They're quite impressive.

Chat with Devs: Between adding new unit models and sliming up the zerg buildings, the StarCraft II art team has also spent some time on some little details that make the game come alive, such as new unit death animations. Featured below, we have a protoss carrier being blown out of the sky by a squad of terran marines, as well as several zerg units falling to their fates.

PS. I love the death animations!!! COME ON BETA!!!!! BURN ZERGYS BURN!!!

 

Oh my god.

Different animations depending on what killed them.

Sweet Jesus.

 

Seradin, your are pure awesomness. Thankyou for being so awesome.

Anywayz, OMGOSH DIFF DEATH SCENES *zergasm*

BTW!! the lurker is not exactly a new model....but it looks more refined!!! i kinda like it! xD

 

God damn additional Pylons, you ruined my awesome viewing

but its good to hear they've got mulitple death animations

EDIT:
Never mind its working now

 

When someone questioned when we going to see the new Lurker model(after it been promised to us for about 2-3 months before that question, which was about half a year ago) Blizzard said that they decided to just refined the Lurker model.

 

And guess what boys!! tommorows a beta Q&A!!! which means more information on the upcoming beta!!!

were almost there guys!!!!!

 

*sniffle* Hug me seradin, I cant take the wait!!!

 

/hug you can do it buddy!! were all on the same boat!

just dont knock the boat over..

hopefully they give us some real juicy information tommorow.. like what the Real specifications for the beta are

 

Man, i've always wanted to see some cool animation for a zerg unit when you massacare them with your seige tanks... Thanks mate =D

 

*glomps sniper64 as well, resulting with the boat tipping over*

I hope this batch wont be as dismal as the last Q&A.

 

In my opinion, any batch that has the word 'Beta' is pure win And, the next batch should have several questions regarding the beta. They're probably corrections to some of the statement made recently by Chinese fan sites. Check my other topic if you haven't seen them.

 

what exactly is the Brood Lord, is that the unit that's right above the queen in the second image?

 

no that unit is the new model of the Infestor, the Brood Lord are in the first pic between the Spawning Pool and the Hatchery(there are three of them there).

 

basically the brood lord looks just like a guardian, but abit more refined with a tail and stuff.

 

looks like its a replacement for the spawn guardian. What exactly does it do thats different from the old guardian?

 

nothing, the only thing different that it has that the Spawn Guardian didnt, is that it has a range of 9 and its health is 350, it still Spawn Broodlings(not sure if only 1 or 2 at a time right now).

 

Dude. That Lurker looks Worthy.

 

Thanks jon, glad your back! ill continue to post news articles as they appear.

Should be fun.

 

Have u guyzz noticed that the roach is also refined?

 

did anyone else see the new lurker modles. There way better now. they still look like before but now atleast they look like they evolved from a hydralisk this time with the to main body sections showing head and lower half. much better.
