New Video leaked

[Ych9]

I just found an interesting video on You-Tube.

We all know that PC Gaming magazine had an exclusive interview with Blizzard and they were going to release the issue on August. But wait no more. I think this is one of the leaked videos.

Some interesting things:

Notice, the Carrier has been replaced by the Tempest. Looks like a weaker version because in the last scene, you can see that it dies to 1 Yamato cannon blast. Makes sense now because since Protoss got the Mothership, I think the BattleCruiser should be the second strongest unit. Tempest is looking very sweet. Looks very ProtossLike, and much better than the Blimpy Carriers IMO.
Archon is back too and renamed to Twilight Archon. Last scene, you can see that someone froze the bunkers. I might be an ability of the Archons.
Reaver seems to be making a comeback, as you can see in the last scene.
Photon Cannons can move. Sounds very interesting. And during that scene, you can clearly see that Reapers are acting like Firebats. I think maybe Reapers can switch between dual pistols and flame throwers depending on the situation? Sounds like a very unique concept.

Anyways, enjoy.

loved it-

would like to point out the new char and forest environments. they look great.

also in the space envinronment you can see a tube in the backround that looks cool.

well i was wrong about a whole lot of things, but i cant be bothered right now to try and revaluate things.

:powerup:

Hmm... could the Twilight Archon be a fusion of a High Templar and Dark Templar? After all, twilight is what's between night and day...

Also, the things that the Tempes shoots out spin around as they fly. You also can't see them firing any projectiles, and when they hit an enemy, you can see a spark appear (This can be seen clearly on the Battlecruisers in the last scene) Maybe they have blades on the edges, and are a melee unit?

Well, the Protoss now seem to focus on mobility, with their moving photon cannons and warpgates. This should heavily change Starcraft strategy.

[Gold]

notice how all these new units are grey, maybe becuase now they are being built from the darktemplar metals and things like that, a fusion based technology.

i dont like soul hunters,

and the twighlight archon seems to ahve the same headresses and stuff as the dark archon, but a darker blue like the normal archon

Awesome video, I just want to see the real version, the YouTube quality kind of sucked.
I wasn't able to full-screen it to get my close in looks for analysis.

[Fenix]

Oh, by the way, in case you hadn't noticed, this item has been newsified. Sweet job Ych9. Keep it up.

[Ghost]

Power Level for you Ych9. Awsome find, I am amazed by what I have seen, it is truly brilliant.

The soulhunters look super strong and the new archons look friggin' swell.

THE GRASS IS GREEN. VERY BRIGHT. VERY CARTOONY. VERY GREENY.
sorry, i just... i liked the kinda rustic feel of SC1, i'm scared they're losing it to very over-vibrant colours... just my worries.

But great find on the video Ych9! :powerup:

[zeratul11]

all protoss units?

where are the dark templars? dont tell me that they are all already extinct.

soul hunter reminds me of the silver surfer. i think if carrier was included in starcraft 2 it would look exactly like the tempest but bigger. Cool

i viewed it full screen, still the quality sucks

where can we download the hq version of this video? thanks

[Fenix]

We know the Dark Templar are in because of the Twilight Archon.

[coalescence]

In the twilight archon theory some people thought of dark templar should be in, but thats just speculating. You just didn't see them, they're invisble remember ;)

[T-man]

I'd say it's pretty good speculating: twilight archons could be created by a high and a dark templar merging. Makes some sweet possibilities.

[Fallrider]

OR they could just be a new name for a Dark Archon.

[Zombine]

id like to say one thing, to any other ravens out there.

The soul hunter looks EACTLY like my mech form armored core 3:LR w/ the long floating body and side laser.

i also have a goliath

also, im not even going to joke about how many times reavers got stuck behind my defenses, way too stupid in my planning.

omg... i know exactly how u feel. Thats the reason that when i first saw the preview for SC2, i was a little dissapointed because it had that WC3 look, which is like.... Bubbly and very bright. I liked the dark and jagged landscape of SC1. when i saw that first bit of the video, i thought it was in WC3 or something.

[JudasXPriest]

Hey, i was looking through SC pictures on google, and i found old pics of SC from 96.

Bottom Right is a Protoss Carrier. Metinks that Blizzard tried to make it look more like that?

[Gold]

middle right is a lurker?

[JudasXPriest]

the only ones i recognize are:

Larva ??
Drone ??
?? Carrier
Scourge
Mutalisk

[coalescence]

It's just some booted ideas, its probably a unit that worked way differently.

BTW, old larvae looks cooler.


the only ones i recognize are:


I guess the 2 other flying ones are overlord and guardian.

[ReiMagnaye]

OT: You can find that picture and the rest of that picture series in sclegacy.com

Just find the EVOLUTION OF STARCRAFT feature. Or if you are too lazy, just click this... lmao

[coalescence]

Thanks a bunch man! I know SC Legacy but I never found this one! ;D

BTW, I was right about the other one being a overlord ;D
