Zerg buildings

So, as I have seen from the new screenshots, I must say that I love how a some of these buildings look. The way the Hive looks is just beautfiul...nice, slimy, and HUGE. It looks awesome.

The Spawning Pool also looks very nice, the water looks good and I'm digging it.

This might be just me though...but do some of these buildings look a little TOO much like their SC1 counterparts? Like the Hydralisk Den and the Spire look exactly the same as the SC1 models. Granted, some people will dig that to the point of orgasm, but I just feel like they need a bit more...finesse.

Here's a link that has at least the three that I mentioned so far.

What do you guys think so far?

 

Yeah, I agree with you there. I love how the Hive and the Spawning Pool looks, but I didn't like the Spire so much. It didn't "fit" with the other structures. It's a freaking jellyfish!

 

The colouration of the buildings makes them look really weird on the creep. I always thought the buildings sorta grew off it (why you had to build on it in the first place). So I was hoping to buildings that sorta meshed better with the creep bellow. Alas that is not the case. The colours on some of the buildings and units (see my Corrupter thread) are really weird... I'm not digging all the new stuff as a whole, but I like a lot of it.

 

The buildings don't really "grow off" creep, they use it to feed themselves. It's kinda like a fertilizer. I think the brown and red theme works really well with the purple creep.

 

They did a really nice job on the building models I feel. The only thing I am not happy about is the unit models of some of the units. The infestor looks like somehting from WoW. Since this is release we all know things will change before the end. But I still am loving the way the Zerg looks by a color palette stand point.

 

I love the new buildings, especially the spawning pool.
But I think they should look more slimy and organic, so does the creep.
Now it looks like burned ground or something.

 

the burnt ground effect is do to the queen.

 

I like the new buildings. I think that they look slimy. Especially the Hatchery.
Hey I just realized that there's no larvae or eggs in that picture!

E: well, they don't look so slimy.

 

The Spire will change trust me. This is how it should look:

I like the new buildings!

 

Zerg buildings and creep

I think the new zerg buildings are awesome, but they look too ''dry''. I wish that they are a bit more slimy and Zerg looking. And the creep looks like burnt ground. It doesn't have that slime feeling like in StarCraft1. So, what do you think about the new buildings and creep?
:gossip::gossip:

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

That you are not far off.. But since they changed the saturation on the terrans, it's definetly not an impossibillity that the zerg may get this slimy change as long as we just raise our voices. And since this forum has become somewhat of a rockstar lately, chances are even bigger that blizzard will pay us visit.

Just shout :thumbup:

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

Some "minor" changes could be good, but im sure they will fix it... after all they fixed Terran so nice!

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

Both the units and the buildings lack the small details on them, which makes them look like plastic toys. The oversized 'bodyparts' of buildings don't help either.

The Zerg release was primarily to settle the community they're nowhere near the stage the other races are in. I'm sure Blizzard will change the Zerg textures to make them more detailed and darker.

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

The buildings for Zerg are a bit too big, such as the Hydralisk Den and the Creep looks fine but it blends in awkwardly

EDIT: also the mechanics for the Zerg units are quite confusing, the Corrupter is fine but i do not get what the Roach actually does and what the Queen actually do..............i really need to know what they actually do properly

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

I agree, but I think Blizzard will fix that in time just as it did with the terran. :thumbsup:

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

I like how the creep looks right now - a sort of leathery membrane. It couldn't really feed nutrients to other buildings if it was just slime, assuming it feeds buildings like an umbilical chord feeds a baby. Some of the buildings, in my opinion, need more tentacles and such to look more rooted into the ground. Right now, the Hatchery looks like a giant spikey ice bag. They should put a few more roots at the bottom so it doesn't look like it could just slide off a ledge. Everything just looks really bright, and really simple right now. Make it grittier, please ;D

 

Re: Zerg buildings and creep

Lolol spikey ice bag. The Hatchery looks ugly but don't worry they'll change it.

 

I like to new buildings as well. I don't like the way the Lurker looks though, it's kind of too small.

 

i'm sorry but the zerg need earlyer defence. I just watched the pros play zerg vs protoss and the protoss raped the poor zerg in the start. the zerg need atleast one defending building.
