What will the New Character's Faces Look Like?

You saw the question. And now you are asking the same question. In Starcraft 1, we were introduced to something called briefings. What will Jim Raynors strangely talking head going to look like in Starcraft 2?

Raynor will look something like this (http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/index.php?topic=386.0).

Hurrah my topic was linked.

I'm assuming everyone's getting a makeover but will still be recognizable by the fans.

Yes, congratulations, I'll up your power level for that interesting picture you put on your topic. Is Blizzard going to actually animate the avatars to where it looks like they are speaking the words they are speaking? If you watch a briefing, with Jim Raynor, you will notice that whenever he starts talking, he nods his head at first, and shakes it around a little bit. Warcraft 3 had good synching when the characters talked, so I believe Starcraft 2 may also.

Well I'm sure Blizzard will at least match what it did with Warcraft 3 in every aspect, and improve on them in most cases. So the portrait synching should be pretty great this time around.

yes it would be. like in the WWII demo gameplay. see the protoss and terran commander. and the reapers. sweet.

That brings up a good point, in SC1 all they did was open and close their mouths. i think blizzard should make it so the words matched the person talking.
