u didnt get the Lurkers pic.

but a owerup: for great photos to easily match creature to name.

 

This looks awesome, you did it?

 

Pretty neat. Great job!

 

Towards the edge of one of the screenshots, as well as in the Zerg Cinematic, there seems to be some kind of air unit like an Overlord, except it's covered in eyes. Anyone know what it is? The Swarm Guardian maybe? I'll try to get an image of it...

 

you mean on this one?

Imo it looks more like the overseer if there's that much difference between it and Overlord. Notice all the eyes.

I seriously hope it's NOT Swarm Guardian, it looks nothing like the old one (judging from that kind of pic) and it's ugly

 

i think that the zerg army is looking very, VERY SEXY!!! even the buildings!!! except for the hatchery, which looks like a squashed-up ugly pudding...

 

Here's the floating eye creature:

I'm not too sure about the model for the Roaches. Their attack blade thingies look really weird and unnatural when they're attacking. I'm not usually the one to complain about what the units look like, etc, but I think something has to be done about this one's attack animation:

Lastly, I love the idea of it, but I really don't like the look of the Infester, nor do I like its attack projectile. It just looks like an anamorphic blob with circle teeth, and its attack leaves a lot to be desired:

I do especially love the Lurker, Queen and Infestede Marine. I'm glad that the Infested Marine actually fires normal ammunition instead another suicide attack, like they were in StarCraft1, or firing corrupted poison bullets like they would have in StarCraft:Ghost.

 

Ahh I hate how the shadows are. They are really bad IMO, the air units don't even seem to fly.

I agree with you about the Roach. I wouldn't be suprised if it got cut.

 

What's wrong with the shadows? They're almost perfect. Usually they're just darkened circles under the units, but in StarCraft2 it's actually a proper shadow.
I wouldn't want the Roach to get cut. It's a great concept, but its attack animation, etc, need to be remodelled.

 

i think the shoadows are nice =D

but for roaches....well, i dont think they should call them roach for a unit that looks like that. they should probably call it something else like...pincerlisk or something..i dno...

and how come blizzard dont use "lisk"

whats wrong with corruptlisk? or infestlisk?

 

"pincerlisk" probably they didn't because it doesn't have pincers, but they may had other reasons >.>

"whats wrong with corruptlisk? or infestlisk?" everything, imo they are just as bad if not worse than corruptor and infestor

 

^
ok yeah ure right...rofl they do sound pretty noob...

what about the infestors? i dont get how squirting some infesting stench will infest the whole building...

maybe tahts not liquid!! maybe its tiny particles of swarming micro zerg units that goes inside the building and infest the whole thing...aahh!! what do you guys think?

 

Its just the positioning of the shadows I hate.

 

My god, thank you ced. My school firewalls won't let me follow the links to the screenshots, and they've blocked all the proxys i can think of. owerup: for you!!!

This is an old picture circulating the internet. It's supposed to be of SC2 - which of course it's not. I haven't really studied it's origins but notice the blob spewing acid in the top-left.

Eery resemblance to a now-released zerg unit... don't you think? =\

 

Yea I posted that a little while ago too. The only difference is the unit in your screen shot has a long range attack which has a splash effect doing damage.
I say its probably coincidence.

 

@Ced. Awesome! Just three things:

1. Add the Lurker!

2. Make the pictures change more often, if it's possible.

3. Separate the Overlord and Overseer. The Overseer looks and plays in a different way.
Havingthem in the same picture is like having Zerglings and Banelings in the same.

 

The new drones are co cute!

 

Lol actually I think they are gonna work on them, since the wing-things look like plastic..
