In the third scenario, they forgot to add the lurkers in the sc1 part. This is why the comparison had different outcomes.

I like how they compaired the two games, allowing you to see the graphical enhancement sc2 has.

 

nostalgia

 

wow..i just realised that sc2 is gna be the best...rofl

 

A lot of the time, starcraft original just seemed more... clear?

Maybe thats just because I'm used to it.

 

I know what you mean by clear.
SC2 will be the first of its kinda.
Intense graphics and physics
Brilliant Environments
and lots...and lots....of units.
Then again the demos have bigger battles than most games will ever see...but still.
Its a clash of 3D with all kinds of lights and sounds.
But I trust Blizzard will do their job well and won't relase it untill its ready.

 

It was definitely harder to tell what was going on in the SC2 versions. I couldn't quite tell how many marines where around the Siege Tanks, and I certainly couldn't distinguish them from the Zerglings.

Of course, in actual gameplay, you get a lot more screen area, so while stuff looks smaller when compared directly, there's a decent chance that it will still be fine in the actual game.

 

i noticed that the ultralisks are seriously more powerful than they were, in the SC clip 3 died, in the SC2 clip none died.

 

The video is not loading for me.

 

Im upset. It isnt the same.

 

I think one of the main reasons its harder to tell what is going on is the rather large shadows units cast behind them in SC2. Shadows Off in options maybe?

 

Abou the Ultralisk part, dont forget that they could be in invincible mode for the pourpouse of the demo video. Still, I think they are, indeed, more powerfull, perhaps NOW, Zerg players will be capable of using them ;-)

 

In the current SC2 build, Ultralisks have 600 hitpoints and cut through masses of units quicker because of their area of effect damage. And let us not forget that these units were not micromanaged so nothing guarantees that some units didn't focus fire by accident, which can drastically change the outcome of a battle.

Nice videos but I can't understand how they managed to miss about 10 Lurkers from that battle. I mean, it's not like miscounting a few larvas now is it?

 

@myrcutio : I think the reason is, they compared with the Original Starcraft so Ultralisk as no armor and speed upgrade. And that the SC2 Ultra actually start right next to the bunch since it can now burrow + it can hit multiple target now so marines died faster thus dealing less damage to the Ultralisk

@EonMaster : I think again the reason is that they compare to Original Starcraft that does not have lurkers yet

@ Chax424 : I think your right, having so much new graphics is too much for our SC:BW eyes. But if we think back a bit I remember when I had Brown Zerglings vs. Orange Zerglings, could never know who was winning until I had only a handfull of unit remaining.
1- Blizzard will be able to polish this side for sure
2- We will most probably get use to it anyway. I will play this game either way, and so shall all of you XD


The choice of comparing only the original Starcraft might not be the best one. Even if they are both the first chapter or their respective game we can't go against the fact that SC2 as been taken from Broodwar and should have been compared whit it.

Anyway nice video

 

Wow, SC2 has been...evolved...a lot and the part of the video where the Hydralisks and the Zerglings attacking the defense, it only those 2 were attacking the defense while in the SC2 ver. it shows the lurkers with them.....

 

I was watching this comparison vid and it amazed me how good the new unit animations are. Especially in the ultralisk shot

 

Its stupid that they compare Starcraft Original with Starcraft 2. It should have been BW (after all, SC first got really known after BW, and it was BW who got an e-sport).
And the scenario with Protoss, the way in was much more blocked and no lurkers.
I think its cool that they make such a video, but the gameplay IS the same, its just the graphics that are better. And they should be shouldn't they?
This post says it all:

 

At the zerglings vs tanks in SC1 there wore a lot less units (and NO MEDICS) but the outcome was the same
Ultras are the same ;p
Where ARE the LUKKERS !, without them the attack on the protoss was very stupid

 

No no and no

Stupid video - units missing in the SC 1 part .. but nice try..

 

Units missing because it isn't BW...
