On a side note, do we know exactly if Dehaka is the same zergling with a wounded claw Kerrigan picked up in "Transmission". I never hear any character mentions it, they just the same wounded claw.
Unlikely, while they share that trait, one is a Primal and the other is a engineered Zerg.
There was also massive wasted potential on doing better environment work in the story. Kerrigan alone on Zerus? Let some Primals run over a treestump and some jump down. Build up some suspension with Primals running past, sounds, etc.
Yeah, that is just one of many. But hey, it rains on Char if Raynor wills it.
To be honest the only thing I really liked was Sarah's part. Sure, her primal queen redesign involved her keeping her pretty face instead of going full Zerg as I wished, but I could at least get some emotional attachment when she tries to reach Jim and sits down and cries for a moment in the dropship, or in the cutscene above when she asks him if he still trust her and actually seems to break up with her.
Mengsk having a backup plan for Kerrigan is also quite nice, though the whole primal zerg thing was a bit meh. Mengsk had extremly well done plans and a bunch of primal zerg manages to break his defenses on the orbital platform? The man ALWAYS planned for any situation.
All in all this was pretty much oldschool Blizz though. Cheesy, obvious and full of plot mistakes, but still somewhat epic :p
By any fluke you guys know where to find the cool marines and specters from the begging section of the campaign? I mean the High poly versions.
Cinematic Section of the files.
Story has been surprisingly good after how awful WoL was. Lots of emotional moments with Sarah feeling alone and finally going on a killing spree to make Mengsk pay.
The only things I really hated was that Jim obviously would survive, because he has the thickest Plot Armor you can buy and some of the pretty lame excuses made up in the storyline to justify the WoL ending as well as some other stuff.
Not to mention that Arcturus has been portrait badly compared to much potential he has. Also they killed their only major Villain that didn't suck when Kerrigan took revenge.
But overall it was a pretty fun ride, levels were designed very well. Sadly a lot of the upgrades are just flat out better than others. Bouncy Banelings solved any "destroy this" problem in seconds :P
I think those people did not take into account that the Swarm is basically endless, adopts anything it can and infests entire worlds in mere days. Oh well, still quite interesting idea to work on :)
It was last years BlizzCon winner, at least part of it.
No wonder, it had 0 competition. Probably the reason they updated the cinematic editor.
He just added a few things to it this time and changed the footage in the background. It's not that hard, when you can get a Heli ride from Dreamhack money :P
. . . And, at the End of Days, Wisdom shall be lost
as Justice falls upon the world of men.
Valor shall turn to Wrath -
and all Hope will be swallowed by Despair.
Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all -
as fate lies shattered forever.

God damn you again Blizzard. And here I was thinking we finally had some decent animations for the Spectre model without stupid crates attached.
Wonder how long it would take me to extract the Spectre, re-rig and texture him and bring him back in with the new tools...

Zerus is a pretty cool tileset, but probably right now also the easiest to work with, since it's a jungle. Those are usually easier.
The ice stuff should be interesting to work with. Korhal Wastes looks like something from the original SC1 Mar Sara stuff.
I am going to try some ice stuff. Let's see ... what can I use ... Well all of this! :p

Funny conclusion with Terrans.

Played it with friends, great fun. Sadly not played enough as of now.
My personal favorite is the high templar that can store spells on his mirror images. Right up my style :P
Overall great hero design, not one of them is boring to play. Good job there!

Obvious Plot is obvious.
