The Dramatic Zerg Reveal Trailer, Now In Direct Feed Clarity
Posted by Michael McWhertor at 10:20 AM on March 12, 2008
The swarm of Zerg-related media from StarCraft II continues to creep out of Blizzard, with a proper direct-feed look at the reveal trailer we saw the other night. It's a blend of in-game cinematic action and gameplay, with just a dash of pre-rendered stuff, all under a melodramatic narration that should have fanboys shivering with delight.

@amazinglarry: It doesn't even sound like Kerrigan.

I usually find Blizzard's voice acting to be pretty top notch but... I'm a little disappointed with it in this trailer. Maybe it's just because I expect so much from them... but even the script kind of sucked.
We are becoming, much more!
Oooooh scary :yawn:

It looks like the 3D landscaping's going to really prove useful in a proper Zerg fight. As a Zerg player myself, a real player, I shy away from the Zerg rush as it's not the only way to win with the Zerg.
I can feel my mind strategizing already.

OMG IF JERI RYAN IS IN THIS I am going to build a time machine, go to the future and buy it now (or then, whichever is right).

Damn... if they put the ability to control millions of units at a time in the game the terrans and protoss will get pwned real fast with that insane zergling rush.

@genopixel: I thought the voice acting kinda sucked too.
The funny thing is this got me more excited for Diablo 3 than anything else.

There is a 9 min. movie of good quality, which has most of the same clips from the trailer, only it shows more from each clip at [www.veoh.com]

The scenes they show off in the Zerg gameplay trailer are so darn unfair. The Terran and Protoss don't even put up a real fight and the Zerg attack with hundreds of units. For example, what kind of person would keep his Viking units on the ground when five Brutalisks come up from the ground. Vikings being units capable of transforming into an air unit. I want to see some real gameplay :o!

@SSJPabs: Based on what was shown story-wise from the Human campaign at Blizzcon, unless that stuff was thrown out I'd have to imagine that the Human campaign will be first.

Too bad my marines will annihilate those mutant bugs with a defensive grid so powerful that you'll hear my siege tank's artillery barrage from the other side of the planet.
