Shorty

Terran (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/38778.html)
Protoss (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39073.html)
Zerg (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/39089.html)
Three short videos basically showing the current graphical state of SC2.

[DarkMirror]

Cool. Short, but nice.

[HazzaDaShiz]

Looks good.
Those tentacles coming out of the creep, what're they?
I'm guessing they're art.
They look a little weak for defensive structures.

[Faiien]

Those are the new sunkens.

[masterofhobbiton]

They're spine crawlers. They are defensive structures.

EDIT: Faiien beat me to it.

I like the way the team color zerg buildings look, but not the assimilator, it should always have green glows to match the vespene.

[ChimTheGrim21]

Wow, in that video Zerg looks awesome. CANT WAIT.

The HD version.

I have never seen some stuff there.I knew that they exist for a long time but I've never had a chance to see those.

[HazzaDaShiz]

Those are the new sunkens.

They're spine crawlers. They are defensive structures.

Ah, that makes sense.
Originally I had thought that, though I felt I was embarrassingly wrong, hahaha.
I looked again, and I realised the first time I looked I didn't see the base of their 'trunk', so now they seem a lot more decent.

[KillerKow]

Screenshots don't do the Zerg justice, seeing them move ingame makes them look a LOT cooler.

[Fiendwurm]

Did you see the bunch of rocks that the protoss had to destroy!!! Thats great! If there were things like that in the Shattered city tile set that look like piles of junk you could use them as barricades in zombie games!!!

[DarkMirror]

There probobly are.

[SilverCrusader]

We can make our own barricades actually.

Anyway, I liked the video. I'm don't really care about the mechanics of the Zerg that much. I'm not going to be playing them. I'll be playing the Protoss.

[LDawgg]

You'll play zerg, you'll play every race. Over. And Over...

[masterofhobbiton]

There's also a toss one;

and a 2:00 zerg one.

This video has a couple of zerg buildings I'm unfamiliar with, the look sort of like little mounds of banelings. What are they?

OH MY GOD THE TERRAN ADVISOR IN THE FIRST VIDEO SCARES ME.
IN THE SECOND VIDEO, MINI-LINGS COME OUT OF THE SPAWNING POOL WHEN IT DIES!!
Also in the second one, one vespene geyser glows orange while the other glows green. I think that means the orange one is almost depleted though.


Srry for the all caps, was excited. :D

[Faiien]

Updated first post, btw is it just me or does everything look really bulgey. I think the zerg need to be more slimy and wet, the protoss and terran are looking good. Hopefully they'll fix the direction of which the extractor is facing.

[DarkMirror]

New building: Probobly a Creep Tumour.
Units spawned from Spawning Pool death: Possibly broodlings.

[masterofhobbiton]

They might be a completely new unit. In the starcraft beta when overlords were killed; scourge came out and attacked, and that was the only time when scourge were used in the game. This is the exact same thing except on the ground, so maybe this is a unique unit too.

[DarkMirror]

Its probobly broodlings though.

[masterofhobbiton]

Err, why? Because they'd be too lazy to make multiple models?

Oh, and you were right about the creep tumor, sorry, I read it this time. :D

[DarkMirror]

I never said they were too lazy to make a new type of model, I'm just saying that it could make sense. Broodlings would be a logical choice, seeing as they die shortly after being spawned.

[Skullflower]

Srry for the all caps, was excited. :D

No problem, caps lock is cruise control for cool.




The Toss look really cool, and the Terran Advisor thing was weird.

[SilverCrusader]

The Zerg theme sounds awesome!

[RavenCrusade]

I'm happy that the "different potrait for different buildings" is confirmed. Other than that, I wasn't really surprised by anything else in the videos. I knew that everything would look better while it was moving, rather than a screenshot.

Edit: Well not every building, but most.
