Never played the series before. But the way the fighters are trained makes no sense to me. Judging by the video, these are supposed to be elite troops, he was even awarded medals. How is it possible that he makes that face like that during his very first real battle?
Or is the whole point of this faction to use its fighters as cannon fodder and just lie to them? If so, the faction is doomed.
>>
>>747578346
Why is everyone missing the point of this trailer?

It's showing the irony of a Dominion marine training like a badass and getting promoted (without seeing combat) and the first time he's in action, he freezes in fear as he faces the zerg for the first time.

The last shots of the trailer show a technician cleaning his corpse out of his armor and show that he wasn't special, same exact thing happened to hundreds of marines.

I'm not even sure the trailer is meant to imply you play as the dominion in the full game. This lightskin nig is not the player character, he's a random retard that drank the kool-aid and got killed on his first mission. He's supposed to be pathetic in hindsight because the trailer is meant to show how incompetent and doomed the dominion are
>>
>>747579710
The dominion are the "bad guy" human faction. This trailer is showing how screwed they are, it's meant to be a gritty subversion of typical military propaganda. Everything you noticed was the point

He doesn't panic and act like a coward, his gun fucks up, he looks up and realises he's dead and dies. What is the faggot ass synthetic outrage. The whole point is he was brainwashed and got rolled, like the marine in brood war who asked where the air support was and the air support fucked off and he did an Platoon and died like a chump. The themes are crystal clear. It was kino that he got raped and gaped to be honest.

This trailer has proven to me that 4chan is beyond a doubt the most retarded place of discussion on the internet. No you cocksucking retard, he was not an elite troop. He was a run of the mill soldier whose life meant nothing, being fed hype and promises of heroism by his government so he would sign up and go fight their wars for them.

He died like trash because he belived every pretty lie he was fed, and because his government doesn't care about their soldiers enough to offer good support in the war. He died realizing that he was tricked, and that he was nothing more than trash to be fed into a war machine, and not the glorious warrior culture nonsense he was fed.

Yes. Mengsk gets killed by Kerrigan at the end of Heart of the Swarm. However, the voice in the new trailer is obviously his, not Valarian's, so it's possible they're bringing him back somehow. Clone? AI? Brain in a jar? We don't know. But yes, Mengsk died in SC2, yet it sounds like he has "somehow returned"
>If he's dead when when is this taking place and what's the status of the zerg? Who's in charge of em? Overmind, or Kerrigan or what?
It takes place about 70 years after the events of SC2. The last we saw of the Zerg at the end of SC2, they were under the control of Zagara, who was Kerrigan's second in command. Kerrigan became Space Jesus, turned Xel'Naga, and used her power to fight Amon and the rest of the Xel'Naga. Then she and Raynor lived happily ever after.

They're not elite troops, they are merely trained to believe they are elite troops. In actually they are run-of-the-mill infantry, which have ALWAYS been cannon-fodder.
It's important to instill confidence in your troops, because otherwise they'd wouldn't join, and if they did, they wouldn't fight.
In this trailer the fresh-faced recruits were used exactly how they SHOULD be used; first wave to either tie up or distract the enemy, with more veteran troops and more expensive assets in reserve or used in the main attack. It clearly worked, because otherwise they wouldn't have retrieved all those suits from within spitting distance of a hive.
Remember, 50 minerals. An SCV is more valuable (even if both are 50 minerals).
Hell, given how close they were deployed, with basically no time to set up a perimeter, they most likely were bait.
>>
It's not clear Valerian Mengsk is the one in charge of the Dominion.
This is 70 years later.
Pure speculation on my part, but the voice in the trailer sounds exactly like Arcturus Mengsk. They'll probably make it about how he uploaded his consciousness into an AI and now he rules as a cybernetic AI ruler and perpetuates the Dominion as a captive breakaway human population. It will be topical because AI.

Nothing prepares you for contact with the enemy.
What, they are going to fight Zerg, Protoss, or even any Terran units with knives? That's just to instill confidence and aggression. You're training isn't supposed to kill you even if you fuck up, just like primary school isn't going to starve you and leave you homeless if you fuck up. Real enemies will kill you, and real life will leave you homeless to die of hunger and exposure. Nothing prepares you for that realization, which is why the recruits were used exactly they way they were; dropped so close to the enemy that they had no choice but to fight for survival because there was no where to run.
At least they didn't have block brigades in the back.

The medals are clearly an ironic disposable dogtag played up as an honor, and he's afraid because the copy paste mass infantry training he received couldn't match the godlike wonder of facing the overwhelming zerg for the first time. still he fulfills his role as cannon fodder reasonably well, able to stand and fire until his gun malfunctions.

Pretty neat trailer let's see what /v/ thinks...oh.
If Mr pants shitter was an Aryan the complaints would be worse because it would be an attack on whitey.
Chuds would've enjoyed this trailer more if it was a girlboss marine that got souped.

I don't care about the race of the guy.

I just am sick of each and every piece of media having to be a subversion, the annoying womancoded "live laugh love" tier affirmations are also retarded. "Wow you're so cool, you're the strongest and most violentest" who talks like this. It's supposed to be some inspirational setup to be flipped by the instant death of the grunt, but it doesn't work because it's written for women by HR. Of course they did this so even retards could see it coming and nobody would think the evil fascist space nazis are cool.

It was very clearly a subversion of the Halo 3 ODST trailer, and yet of infinitely lower quality. You could still make that work. A bunch of people yelling at the guy as the grunt does horrific and dirty training then gets liquified in his first battle and it would actually be a cool trailer.

Just watch the two side by side and it's so obvious one was made by the retards who ruined blizzard, and one was made by people who understood how to properly appeal to emotion.

Yeah, I think the trailer misses the mark when it comes to conveying what sort of game they are going for, but it's unfair to compare the two; teenage recruit vs hardened veteran (hero unit). I think the idea is that we're not going to by playing a hero unit with a pre-established backstory, but a blank-slate, completely green recruit.
>>
It's insane how ass this trailer was. It's like the makers don't know the basic feel and mood of Starcraft. Marines aren't HARDGORE TACTICOOL OPERATORS, just hicks and convicts in power armor who have their psyche suppressed by implants and chems.

The themes to the two settings are completely different, though (at least in the game).
Halo is VERY noble-dark, while StarCraft is grim-dark.
Also, the ODST trailer's tone doesn't match that of the actual game at all. I mean, AT. ALL.
Good trailer, but completely unrepresentative of the final product.
>>
>>747578346
the trailer goes for really grand moral irony when something a bit more true to starcraft would be more of a detached farce. instead of a fanatical propaganda poster troop having their world view shattered you'd have a group of psycho thugs running to their slaughter without a care.
>>
>>747607090
Barracks are basically just heavy dropships with onboard berthing. Simple as.
>>
>>747607090
As a SC veteran that was inspired actually and makes sense lore-wise.
Dropships are for small operations. For large operations floating barracks makes more sense.
Command centers can also float and house scvs, there's no reason why all terran mobile buildings don't also automatically have that function.
The fact you can't do it in game is a game balance and design choice, but lorewise it makes perfect sense.

The dominion having a bunch of propaganda was a pretty big part of SC2, no? There's missions in WoL about that in particular even, focused on destroying propaganda centers (or maybe it was HotS, but it was in one of them)
>>
>>747607270
True on all points, but I ask you honestly, do you think I'm wrong?

I 100% think they wanted to make their own version of the ODST trailer. I think they failed to nail the tone of either it or their own series (well, I'm sure it's representative of what starcraft will be from now on). It's just that fucking millenial writing, where you can feel the irony even before anything happens, which results in the 'twist' not landing at all. It results in a tone that's not grimdark, when it should be.

haven't' even bothered to watch the trailer.

Is it returning to it's dark gritty Aliens / Apocalypse Now / Starship Troopers / Predator / war films in general feel to it?

Or is it just the same garbage we have been getting?

The trailer ends with a bunch of conscripts getting slaughtered by the Zerg and their armor being recycled. Felt like it was inspired by the scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the uniforms get reused which isn't historical accurate by the way.

Except for Alpha Squadron. StarCraft lore is based on how elite your squadron is, less of your type of unit.

>>747607304
If you played SC1 then this trailer is closer to the original Starcraft vision than all of SC2. SC1 terran cinematics and cutscenes were nearly 100% ironic deaths.

The only difference is back then more of the cutscenes were less serious and played for laughs. That being said SC1 had their share of super disquieting cinematics, specifically with Brood War.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-00uQzXyujI

Refresh yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jvg_EwMZt4

But yea still not tonally exactly the same as original SC1, closer to some of the last decade WoW or Diablo trailers. SC1's goofy stuff wouldn't really work nowadays for an international audience sadly.

I agree with the millennial writing in that the trailer feels insincere, without commitment, and hence empty, or as you put it, lacking an emotional note.
Had he been able to do more in the battle, more themes of brotherhood (or any human interaction), and/or perhaps they outright shown that the recruits were used as disposable bait, then it could've been done better. As it is, it's sterile.
Still unfair to compare it to the ODST trailer, however, IMO.

Abathur betrayed Zag in the Nova campaign. But given the tone of the trailer being blindly sending prideful men to death, Dominion is likely moving on a random hive for resources.

Of course it's unfair. The ODST trailer is arguably the best videogame trailer in history. There's not a single word of English spoken, and yet it still works. Blizzard will never make anything of its quality. 20 years ago, sure. Not today.

But, I feel it was definitely an inspiration for this trailer. That's why I compare the two.
