Hadn't been really seen before right? My excitement level for this game is rising. Probably going to have to build a new computer come next fall.

Could Ultralisks burrow in the original game?

Burrowing Ultralisks sounds.. frightening.

How does the beast even manage to do that - DISCRETELY? yikes

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

Who gives a fuck that Ultralisks can burrow? If you do not have detection that late in the game you ultimately fail at this game.

Hydralisk and mutalisk pages are both up at the official website.

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

i absolutely love how zerg looks now... the previous screen shots made them look like a race of brightly colored bugs...

blizzard did them justice to 3d.


additional note: is it just me or is blizzard getting lazy with the shadows? all the previous units have perfectly tailored shadows as opposed to circles used for the flying creatures in screen shot 2. maybe im nitpicky. but im sure sir magis would have picked it off if i had not.

Seeing them in motion the shadows looked dead on.. not sure whats going on with the screenshot above.

I think some of the concept art is kinda blah from Blizzard as of late.. some is amazing .. some is like high school.

But the game does looks superb!

All flying units have a circle and a real shadow. Probably to make it easier to make out relative position on the battle field (circles), while maintaining a realistic lighting system (normal shadows).

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

Gotta say, the shadows are gorgeous, and I love the art direction taken with each race. Terran look gritty and industrial, Protoss look elegant, alien, and advanced, Zerg look like... Zerg.

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

Zerg buildings look a bit plastic-y in those shots, but it's probably just due to lack of movement.

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

wtf, are those overlords dropping out black goo in screenshot #8?

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

That would be them creating new creep, it's an ability.

Agreed.. I would have expected the Spawning pool to look more gruesome.. It looks a bit fisher price at the moment.. But of course I'm sure its due to lack of movement and Blizzard always will imrpove upon it anyways.

That was my only concern as well.

It actually looks *smaller* than Hydralisks.

Plus the dynamic player colours look awful on it :-/



ANYWAY... it's supposed to be burrowed, right?

Re: So this is what the zerg look like in sc2

The Ultralisks are AWESOME however.

I never thought of them as anything more than "Megalisks" in SC1, but in SC2 they truly live up to their name.

Well knows he who uses to consider, that our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion. Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition. A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the Assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.
