Unit Potraits

First of all, sorry about the quality, but my computer is bugging me and I can't download the movies, so I took the screenshots from youtube.

First of all the 3 units that came in a cinematic way saying something in Korean (does someone know what they sayd?)

Protoss commander?


Terran commander?


Terran Reaper


Then there are the faces of the units, what I personally didn't like was the fact that they all had the same faces, but I think blizzard is gonna change this because the voice were different.

Protoss Face


On the moment that they warped in the stalkers I DID see a new face.

Protoss (robot?) Face 2



Opinions please! And also some translation of the korean text ;D

 

if you watch the gameplay trailers in youtube, they all say stuff in english.

and the robot face, i believe is the portrait for the probe. you see it breifly when they player uses warp in on the stalkers.

 

You're very good at repeating people

 

yeah, i just noticed you wrote that, sorry .

but did the other stuff clear anything up for you?

i know the "protoss comander face" is the same portrait they use for the mothership, if you didnt already know that.

but like i said before in a different post, the game was "just" presentable, and the demo was pre recorded with the commentator reading reading a script over it. Loads of stuff looks to be jsut there for place holders, like everything having the zealots portrait for nearly every unit (like you said).
the mothership dosnt attack during the final battle which leads me to believe that maybe everything i does was scripted, and it dosnt have any battle ai yet
the stalkers in the final battle move about on the spot, without having any kind of animation, and looks really stupid.
the barracks gets up and spins super fast away, which also looks silly.

so to repeat my point the game was jsut presentable for the demo, and the amount they have actually got to do is far more than they let on.

 

The dialogue in English:

Protoss commander (Beginning of demo): "En Taro Adun, Commander. Our forward base has been established, but the foolish Terrans continue to bring their forces to this platform. They will serve only to feed the Zerg swarm if we do not destroy them quickly."

Terran admiral (After Zealots begin to attack): "Attention, Protoss! This is Admiral Gestavil of the Terran Dominion! You will withdraw immediately or be annihilated."

Reaper (After Immortals destroy Siege Tanks): "Reapers, move in! Slaughter 'em, boys!"

Protoss commander (After stalkers kill the reapers, just before the first Nydus Worm appears): "Zerg forces detected! Multiple contacts closing in on our position!"

Terran admiral (After warp rays destroy the barracks): "All right you alien freaks, you made your choice! Now your gonna pay the price!"

Protoss commander (After marines destroy the warp rays and the terrans begin to fortify the area, shortly before the mothership warps in): "Now our foes will feel the power of the Protoss."

-I'm Not Dead Yet!-

 

Wow, its a bit cliché and old, but thanks ;D

 

see the first time he "warms" the protoss he brings in his seige tanks,
then later he says that the protoss will pay the alright price, but nothing happens other than he builds some turrets.

unless he is talking about the nukes, but at this point i thought blizzard diverges away from the story and jsut has a little bit of fun.

 

Offcourse, this isn't gonna happend ingame.

 

I like them cos they have gestures even while they talk. I wonder if they can be ordered by triggers to say something smiling or angry... or even laugh?

I think the Robotech guy was a pipe smoker too.

 

i thought we saw him smoking a pipe in the demo or was i imagining it ><

 

I was watching the gameplay trailer and I notice that the same face is in the potrait throughout the entire thing.

Does anyone know if they've axed individual unit potraits?

 

Obviously.

 

that is uncool. i kinda liked the individuality of the portraits.

 

The video shown was at pre-beta: meaning not all of the art and programming was done. They probably had not gotten around to making individual unit portraits yet.

 

They just had the standard Zealot portrait and the unkown Protoss commander. I wonder what it's like inside the two new Dragoons though.

 

I'm thinking that the unit portraits would be one of the last things Blizzard would work on and the current ones are just place holders. Same portraits for every unit is too un-Blizzard. I don't think any RTS from the past 10 years didn't have individual portraits.

 

Not really. The game is far from finished and little stuff like that will not get done till the end.

 

it wasnt the same portrait the whole time, the MS had the commanders portrait.

 

Portraits are probably going to be a last touch kind of thing anyway...
