1998:>you want a piece of me boy? all right lets wax these critters!2030:Oh my Reddit! The Zerg are coming! *pisses and shits himself* *dies*This is a demoralization campaign.
>>747526908This blizzcon made me not want to buy any of their upcoming games and made me want to stop playing the current ones that I do play
YOU WANT A PIECE OF MEAT BOY?
>>747526908The point was that you put all this time and effort into training this marine and then he gets instantly mulched on the battlefield... which is how it fucking works in game, these guys are basically chaff.
jacked off and good to go
Still getting the game.
The muhreens from the original game were hardened outlaws in a prison colony project.The Dominion is the mother country, they're suppose to be much stronger than all terran forces in the games.And they're probably decadent as fuck from being rich and secure for too long.
>>747526908You're genuinely an embarrassing midwit, which is saying a lot considering the cinematic was the most trite "young boys get duped into dying for their country" schlock and you STILL don't get it.
>>747526908Marines were fodder units in all SC games. It's just that the average American's view of an an US soldier came from WW2 propaganda, which depicted prime age (mid 20s-30s) males.The average US soldier in actuality is like a 19yo teen with baby fat. I'd say this guy is mostly ahead of that pack
Dominion were always portrayed as a sort of cultish breakaway rebel faction.A cut above and the cream of the crop.They're making them into a Hitler youth/little red guards/Abraham Lincoln's Wide Awakes/modern day proud boys sort of deal.The Dominion is strong because they brainwash their energized youth to die, which is why their marines are voluntary zealots that are kept ignorant of real war until they're thrown into the meatgrinder (they win that battle since they are able to recover the armour).It's only the confederacy/UED that have qualms about sending youth to die so rely on grizzled convicted felons in prison suits as marines.I remember clearly in Starcraft 1 the whole beginning of the terran campaign was portraying Arcturus Mengsk as a sort of charismatic and seductive communist-adjacent leader like Che that first poached Jim Raynor into joining his cause, that's literally how it started and the metaphor was stark since they were the literal reds compared to the confederacy blue. And Jim being the neutral party was teal.So yea even though the trailer portrays the futility of that marine's life, their short lives as cannon fodder does keep the Dominion alive. This is 70 years after Arcturus Mengsk dies.
>>747527387this has always been the subtext of the games (and warcraft as well, as well as most rts games) but the SC franchise has never explicitly highlighted this "rinse and repeat" aspect of the setting before. Felt like a WH40K fan video, honestly. Just weird.
>>747526908it's a "story driven open world fps"so it's going to be shit
>>747526908>confederacy & sons of korhalold men, veterans and ex-cons>dominionchurn out babies and send them to war as fast as you canit's not that deep lil bro
and announcing diablo 5 is them saying diablo 4 is dead and they can't fix itbut they likely have no idea how to not make 5 shit eitherblizzard just needs to die already
>>747527264
>>747527576you're giving him too much credit, calling him a midwit
>>747527704Don't you see the real world parallels, you lil bastard!?
You fags cry about any and everything. It must be exhausting being such an insufferable sperg. Trailer was fun and captured the grittiness of Starcraft that made it so iconic. Game will be shit, though. "Open-world FPS" is just code for live-service extraction shooter.
>>747526908This is the equivalent of the average German man once he is put on the Eastern front in WW2.
>>747527429Like stracraft ghost
>>747527701The main guy (who announced it on stage) worked is ex-UbisoftThis is going to be so great!
>>747527857You are obviously crying about it by calling it shit. Get off your high horse, you belong down here in the mud with the rest of us.
>>747527701If its like arc raiders on crack with massive group battles it'll be goodIf its like destiny, it'll be shit
>>747528348I imagine new god of war but as a space marine
>>747527643The Starcraft 1 manual highlighted that marines have a combat lifespan measured in minutes. Granted, that was the confederacy and they were brainwashed convicts, but it was pretty clear that these guys were truly grunts.
>>747527701This was the blackpill desu, blizzard has to regain my trust before I give them any more money.
>>747526908>>747527387The point is pic related, because that's the kind of "person" designing the games now. It's the "modern audience" they're making it for. It went from the male desire to fight a hopeless battle surrounded from all sides to "media literacy" slop.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VsdKesdaKsThe muhreens being fodder and "war is hell" is well-established. The only difference now is that they're doing faggot pseud shit about it. That's why everyone in defense of it>>747527643>>747527857keeps pretending not to understand and reiterating that they're fodder against the strawman in their head, instead of actually addressing why the modern trailer was pozzed in comparison. It's literally just propaganda but from the "other side".
I liked the trailer a lot, but it definitely just didn't have the grit that Brood War and OG SC had. The huge sluice of melted human goo and gore was a step in the right direction though.
>tfw 2000s zoomers will be 30 years old when the game comes out>most SCfags will be in their 40s to 50s when the game comes outWho is the target audience?
>>7475269081998:>I am a convicted murderer/criminal and this was my alternative to a needle or firing squad2030:>I am a retarded, indoctrinated 18 year old who thought I would be a hero. BTW this is obviously a reference to All Quiet on the Western Front, GET IT?
What is the best case scenario for this game? Don't just say "It gets cancelled". Like holy shit, an open world shooter? It's gonna be ass.
>>747526908Dude why is it so hard for people that work in companies and produce shit, why is it so hard for them NOT to create a fucking mixed white black big lipped mixed negro FuckYouWhy
>>747532695best case scenario is it is just cause but as a terran marine running around on a planet or planets doing side and main missions
>>747532695Drop openworld.Copy Helldivers 2.
>>747526908It's a video game you stupid zoomer. If you don't like it, stop posting threads about it.
>>747532695They are 100% copying Helldivers and you will be Terran. Zerg and Protoss are too melee/clunky to be playable in an FPS so it's not going to be PvP.
>>747528020Germans killed 15 russians for every loss though.
>>747533006It's race traitor propaganda
>>747532695It will have all the hallmarks of a Ubisoft game and late 2010s game design, hope you like retro
>>747532167>It's literally just propaganda but from the "other side".No shit dummy, a literal five year old can clock thatYour teacher is not awarding you a gold star for noticing that
>>747532534While many of the founders of the Dominion and some of their veterans were former convicts, they were a traditional and highly trained military. You should probably play the games before you regurgitate your favorite outrage grifter's opinion. >>747532695The game is still obviously in pre-production based on the timeline. I'm hoping they realize how retarded their idea is and just give us a horde shooter like everyone wants.
Games for this feel?
>>747526908>tfw "my wife for hire" becomes a real voice line
>>747533028>Zerg is too clunky for fpswhy don't they just copy avp2 and ns2
>>747526908>This is a demoralization campaign.Where's the demoralization? That's just the reality of propaganda
>>747527701Isn't it just gonna be space overwatch?
>>747533387you're too late for it but natural selection
>esplain to meeee dios mio puta madre tortilla taco burrito gato ayudame porfavor
>>747533386>before you regurgitate your favorite outrage grifter's opinionI hate when my correct opinion is co-opted by some Youtuber or whatever and then autismos like you believe I got it secondhand, when I don't spend any time at all watching anything other than cartoon intros or music videos on Youtube.Also you're still wrong. Please don't waste my time further, retard.
>>747527641>Dominion were always portrayed as a sort of cultish breakaway rebel faction.They're the dominant Terran faction in SC2
>Playing as Dominion instead of the UED trying to get back into the sectorMeh.
>>747533543if it's story driven I doubt they'll have anything more than 2 or 3 player co-op
why didn't they just restart starcraft: ghostyou got the female protag, you got the non-rts gameplay
>>747526908blizzard hasnt made a game worth playing since WC3
>>747526908should have stimmed and spreadskill diff makes zerg look OP but terran players are just bad.
>>747533815Nova's design is too problematic for modern Blizzard to handle.
>>747533815Modern Nova would be browner than my underwear after Taco Bell. No thanks.
>>747527643Literally every Marine in every Starcraft 1 cinematic dies a horrible death within seconds of contact with Zerg. It's true to the universe and just cut the space hick tone so it doesn't seem like everyone 2000 years in the future is from Space Kentucky.
>>747533815Too pretty for the roasties
>>747533893They trained him to run through fucking hallways instead of stutter step.>>747533986>They removed the soul and themes and turned it all into metrosexual coastal faggotry for "mass appeal" to the (((Modern Audience)))Yeah, that's what we're complaining about.
>>747534224Mercy exists.
>>747532695It gets cancelled
>>747527387I thought SC marines were criminals or something
How do you even make zoomer marine even look cool? SC2 Marine armor suit up was at least notable, zoomer suit up looks lame. He doesn't even die a heroic death.
So is Blizzard going to finally pretend SC2 never happened? I can't take the zerg seriously after learning their backstory in SC2. That game pisses me off the more that I think about it actually.
>>747526908That's pretty accurate for the dominion.The whole setup is absolutely playing on the first scene from the remade "All Quiet on the Western Front" film.Have to wait for the gameplay to see if it's actually worth playing, I don't expect much.
>>747533387Space marine 2 Space beast terror frightSpace hulk deathwing
>>747534579Not the Terran Dominion, and even then only some CAF soldiers were convicts. Raynor for example enlisted.
>>747534579if this new game takes place later on in time well you run out of convicts eventually
>>747526908I know your just a baiting homo but Starcraft Marines are like the opposite of 40k Marines. Their chaff more in line with the Imperial Gaurd.
>>747534252the lings didnt even have metabolic boost. embarrassing.
>>747534579kinda dropped that once the UED showed up with all the same tech
>>747527387Exactly. Thats why all soldiers in every country should just delete all their own politicians and take over.
>>747534878>Space hulk deathwingI wish we got another one of these, always felt like the game needed just a bit more refinement to be really good.
>>747533028honestly if they just pull this off well it'll be goodI hope they don't fuck it up (they will)
>>747526908there's no winning with this kind of trailerif they replaced this guy with an aryan gigachad fags would still complain about demoralization
>>747532819what the fuck are you talking about you schizophrenic, that's a non-ambiguous white man
>>747527135>and made me want to stop playing the current ones that I do playYou don't play any games.
>>747533386>just give us a horde shooter like everyone wantsNo one wants that.
>>747533321Not that anon but you literally ignored the entire media literacy point he was making and cherrypicked, so you sure as hell ain't getting no gold star either retard.
>>747533068it was more like 4 to 1, still impressive but ultimately crippling losses for germany.
>>747535271He should be an aryan gigachad who personally rips off the head of the Zerg leader beast and plants a flag in its corpse
>>747532695>What is the best case scenario for this game?Unironically Halo Infinite open world but with flood added
>>747532469those same 40-50 year oldsaka me
I just always wanted an SC game that was canon to the in-universe lore and scale. A big reason of why I wanted Ghost so bad and never got over not having it.Don't know if "story based open world shooter" will deliver that but judging by the trailer's barracks and overlords, maybe they got the scale part down.
>>747527135>Playing blizzard gamesLol
>>747527135Better late than never at least
>>747527470Thats...what the Dominion is too. The successor state to the prison colony project. You know, the one you bring about in Starcraft 1 with Mengsk?The UED is what you're thinking of, they're the ones from Earth.
>>747526908Good, I hope zogbot recruitment numbers fall through the floor globally.
>>747535730And fuck it's wife!
>>747527643>but the SC franchise has never explicitly highlighted this "rinse and repeat" aspect of the setting before.What? They ditched soldiers into the trenches all the time, including even super special ghost units like Kerrigan and then just scooted to the next meatgeinder mission.
>>747537049did they explicitly show those soldiers being trained and replaced for the purposes of being pushed into the same meatgrinder for the purposes of pointing out that loopno they didn't, that only happens in the game-playing space, as part of the player's actions, not in a narrative sensesoldiers die all the time in military fiction but you don't see them getting replaced right before your eyes, which is what the trailer was pointing out
>yfw the zerg are actually down to party
>>747526908>three minute cinematic>does nothing but say "marines are expendable, there will be a game of indeterminate genre in 4 years (maybe)"dogshit as always, thanks blizzard
>>747526908I love how there are two primary characters that are shown in the trailer, one is the suit mechanic, the other is the guy who dies. We know it's a story driven open world shooter.Which most likely means for the action components you play as a kitted out marine on the battlefield (you chose the kit - dude in the mask). If you survive then you get to come home and upgrade your shit. If you die then the real "you" the mechanic has to try different suits/augments/etc. Gaining more experience over time, unlocking more shit until you are the proverbial terran woodchipper to the zerg hive.At least that's the story that the trailer told me.Whether it's reflected in any meaningful way in the actual game I guess we will see.The only one pissing and shitting themselves here is you.
>>747533815Nova maybe the worst character in all of Starcraft now so at lest anything other than her is a positive
>>747527264NEED A WISE GUY?
>>747537049It's really just a lack of focus on them that makes it seem not really there. You see a couple scenes of marines getting fucked but that could just be interpreted as seeing a losing battle instead of terran really fighting the exact same way as the zerg throwing bodies at everything. I dont think marines having a 9 second average lifespan is mentioned at all in the games.
Ironically everyone is crying about the trailer when as far as I'm concerned as long as it isn't canceled and they do what they do best (steal other people's ideas and make them better) it'll be the first Starcraft game in a while, no even Blizzard game made in a while that's worth a shit to play.
>>747527641This is set 70 years after SC2. Mengsk is dead, Valerian takes over the Dominion at the end. Which actually makes the trailer even more retarded.
>HOW DARE THEY MAKE THE ZERG SCARY ITS LE WOKE>I WANT LE EPIC 40K MARINES GUNNING DOWN HORDES OF ZERGLINGS LIKE THEY ARE PITBULLS CHARGING NAVY SEALSStim marines + medivac enjoyer detected opinion discarded
>>747537492Yeah and the fucking Cyberpunk 2077 trailer back in 2013 implied a real fucking cool game, too.>Th-the only one p-PISSING and-and SHITTING themselves is- is- umm...Half of the fucking thread which isn't composed of shills and fanboys. It was shit. The trailer was made by the sort of faggots who identify with the zerg.
>>747537704Well, yes. It could be seen that they respected their audience enough back then that they didn't feel the need to rub it on your face. Or that this is a newer military doctrine, as before zergs and protoss and dominion coming (and staying) in the picture the military campaigns were just internal strife between the (sub)factions of the sector or subduing worker strikes or such. Now they are (were) in constant meat grinder against all the bigger players.Maybe blizz is just trying to ride 40k's and helldivers coattails and ro a degree deep rock galactic and other dystopic Big Bad Corporation hegemony stories and settings that reflect our contemporary experiences.Or they are just hacks and slop out whatever inconsistently. Point is the basic mook's life was already very cheap in OG Starcraft and they didn't try to hide it, like how it was mentioned in the manual as the other anon ITT already mentioned.
>>747539504>Cyberpunk 2077 trailer back in 2013That was when it was a completely different game before it was cancelled and restarted 3 times>uh uh so it will happen with this tooIt's a blizzard game so even if it does it will be shit normie slop every time
>>747539564>Maybe blizz is just trying to ride 40k's and helldivers coattails and ro a degree deep rock galactic and other dystopic Big Bad Corporation hegemony stories and settings that reflect our contemporary experiences.But they already did that, and the Dominion is now ruled by Valerian whose entire thing was to Be a Better Man and Do Better with the Dominion. Like did they just forget he exists and took over from Mengsk?
>>747539504Cyberpunk 2077 is a solid 9/10 in 2026, way cooler than the original teaser that looked a bit genericStop living in the past
Jacked off and good to go
>>747539564Compare the tone of this trailer to one of the old cinematics like I posted here. >>747532167There's just as much death. Just as much bullshit about the grunts being fed to the grinder. Hell, it even has fucking diversity™!!But they didn't make them all fucking weird effeminate mystery meat just to do le heckin'>yOu Do KnOw ThIs Is SaTiRe RiGhT???Like, yeah, we know what fucking propaganda is, you stupid fucks! The problem is they think THEIR shit isn't propaganda! As they try to stuff it in your fucking face 24/7 when you just want to play a game about killing fucking aliens.>>747540093Maybe. I'm not going to argue about whether or not Cyberpunk is good in the SC trailer thread. But even if it's a 9/10 now, that fucking trailer was 11/10 and you won't make me forget the absolute fucking disappointment of everyone on launch, even if it may or may not have been engoodenified after the better part of a decade.However, the point is that anon's taking 2+2 and making five, for an even vaguer and more generic trailer.
>>747539717>the Dominion is now ruled by Valerian whose entire thing was to Be a Better Man and Do BetterJust like Lenin. And Augustus. And Hitler. And Che. And Constantine. And Castro. And Khrushchev. And Brezhnev. And Pol Pot. And Mao. And Hee. And Yew. And Ataturk. Of all the things to shit on nu-blizz for, taking the Dominion in this direction isn't really one of them. The benevolent dictator almost always ends horribly.

>>747540705All of those people were radicals before they came to power. Valerian was a weak kneed pussy who wanted to turn the Dominion into a democracy.
>>747540993>game so unflappably bad it didn't even meet Bethesda standards Truly a shame. A great premise and setting wasted on a historically dogshit developer. If Bethesda wasn't retarded they'd boot it back up again.

>>747541156Maybe he got fuckin' whacked. God knows there's plenty of examples of that throughout history too. It's just a trailer and we have no knowledge besides the fact that the game is going to suck.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I didn't get the war is bad just let the zerg win sorta shit everyone else is seeing I just saw it as like life is extremely cheap and you will not be missed when you die. They clearly won that engagement since they retrieved bitchboy's armor. And life is cheap in the starcraft universe.

>>747546775>The rebels of the korpolu sector and convict Marines are long gone This is a profession highly regarded military force nowThat's my point- that's basically every other scifi military game these days, which is boring and soulless as hell. Rednecks in space was a fun premise that added personality to the setting>>747547430>Those were all already gone halfway through the base gameThe UED doesn't count, retard- they're from EARTH, not native terrans.
>>747526908They're supposed to be criminals. "Class-Ds" if you're an SCPfag. They were only macho men before because gamers peepees always small. Just because they're in cool armor doesn't mean they wouldn't be scared. If this was done before le woke mind varus it wouldn't be doubted, but gamers on edge because the gay is everywhere.

>>747547668>>747547797China's biggest upcoming game has a scene where there's a bunch of skeletons playing instruments in the trailer.You didn't see a skeleton in the armor because a mush of meat drooling out and a recovered chevron is a much better imagery as an implication/subtext of what happened.
>>747532695Helldivers in starcraft universe?
>>747547430>Those were all already gone halfway through the base gameWho gives a fuck about "in the lore they're gone"The redneck felons concept is still way more interesting, and it is better. Go make any excuse to put them back in, and 95% of people won't care at all besides some lore autists.I am a Korean that played Brood War since it came out and I actually bought lore books, so don't question my credibility.
>>747548109>I am a KoreanRightBug people dominate starcraft
>>747548109>I am Korean Is it true that Nexon is also developing another starcraft game?
>>747526908Can't wait to play this on my wheelchair at the nursing home.
>>747547624>They're supposed to be criminalsCriminals from a sector of space where everyone is massively inbred, on steroids and with major redneck culture.I am not sure if you actually played the first game but terrans mostly look like fucking abhumans, when the UED show up they actually look like real people in comparison.Circa SC1, the average Korpulu sector Terran is a 6'4 300 pound gorilla with missing teeth.
>>747548109
>>747547993I think Hydralisk spit melted his bones, his badge must be made out of raynordium or something
>>747533605>>747533386you're both wrong actually
>>747548170I still watch Brood War ASL tournaments. I still won't forgive Blizzard for killing Brood War tournaments in 2010 for their shitty sequel.>>747548202Didn't hear. They're busy dealing with union strikes.
>>747527643Well, you're playing an individual, not commanding a whole battalion. I think it makes complete sense to release a teaser that is about how small you are.I just want to know if it is AT ALL indicative of gameplay. Does this mean we'll be dying a lot? Are we playing different marines each death like in Helldivers? Some kind of permadeath game type?
>>747548109Also I will add another point for people that argue "rednecks were defeated in SC1"1. You're wrong. Only the Confederacy was defeated. Just the nation, not the people. The entire Terran human world is redneck culture. The defeat of the Confederates in SC1 doesn't suddenly make Terrans non-redneck. Mengsk and Dominion recruited the same rednecks.2. Another theory is that the rednecks were only a thing in the fringe colonies that played a big role in SC1 lore, but again, the colonial fringe world still exist in the current SC lore, so no reason to say they "no longer exist."
>>747533636Yes only by SC2. But not in SC1. Because the plot of SC1 is how Mengsk's Sons of Korhal topples the Confederacy and assumes control of the majority of the terran faction to form the Dominion. And SC2 ends with Mengsk being killed by Kerrigan and the Dominion's fate unknown, presumably reduced again to minority faction.There's the United Earth Directorate (which is earth), the real humans/earthlings.Then there's the rest of the humans (every human we encounter in SC1's base campaign) which includes the Confederacy and the Sons of Korhal. I'm going to call these guys the specifically the terrans to differentiate them from the UED even though UED are technically also terrans.Terrans were originally sent on a mission to explore deep space by the UED and eventually lost contact with the UED. This was over long long periods of times, spanning multiple generations and hypersleep.Then these surviving terrans themselves separated into multiple factions, coalescing into a Confederacy. Then a rogue faction called the Sons of Korhal led by Mengsk led a revolution to break away from and oppose the Confederacy, purportedly because they were dabbling in psionic shit like that which made Kerrigan (the ghost).So Sons of Korhal/Mengsk is an offshoot of an offshoot. UED > Terrans (Confederacy) > Sons of KorhalSons of Korhal were the underdogs in the SC1 campaign which culminates in Mengsk toppling the Confederacy and forming the Terran Dominion. UED doesn't make an appearance until Brood War.Typing all this from memory off the top of my head so I could be wrong. But I actually bought and played SC1 on release and read the booklet front to back.
>>747549002>Typing all this from memory off the top of my head so I could be wrongnah it's pretty good
So this is what the "conservative" grifter market wants us to be angry at this week, huh?
I will be 40 when this game comes out
>>747543647>blizzards cinematics suck now huhNah, they still FUCK
>2030*wheezing laughter*
>>747527135good, it is important to keep people like (you) away. You wont be missed.
>What would a hardened serial murderer who was given eitger a death sentenc eor marine service do when surrounded with death?>Oh yeah and he's pu.ped to the fucking gills with stims so he feels no fear and is constantly on so much adrenaline he may as well live in perpetual edge and euphoria while killing>Well *I* would stare shocked an cry as a 2026 Californian whose never even been in a fist fight, so surely he would too!Anyone who defends this should honestly kill themselves
>blizzard announces game>it only benefits them>spergs start shitting their pants seeing 2030lmfao why do you guys care. Got a cool trailer. Now go back to your normal life where the last thing you knew about sc was that it was dead.
>>747549750
>>747549869You may not like it but that is peak Metzen
>>747549758>there is a real possibility that Half-Life 3 will release before next Starcraft
>>747549837>NOOOOO I NEED MY OUTRAGE BAITSLOP NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
>>747549869Impressive, what model did you use? And what was the prompt?
>>747549750>hellfire in the vanilla trailer>consecration in foreverI clapped when I saw it still not coming back though
>>747548271I guess they forgot about the gene-modded exiles thing. Back when Earth outlawed gene-modding due to fears about genetic degradation, they gathered up all the modified psionic, super smart, or brick shithouse superhumans and sent them off to the Koprulu sector along with the rest of the criminals. That's part of the reason why there are so many ghosts and why everyone is so huge in SC 1 and 2, these modifications mostly stayed through the generations
SC in FPS actually could be quite cool and has potentialcheck out this fangame where you play as a marine in first personhttps://j-jlucas.github.io/PlaySCM/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dflu0cRGD5I
>>747550507Looks like old AVP.
>>747526908You just want to LARP that the military is heckin awsome like you did when you were 10.Grow up.
>>747550507i dont doubt it could be coolproblem is its modern blizzard making the game
>>747546632Why is there a warcraft gnome there
You don't even play video games let alone starcraft.why do you think you even deserve an opinion?
>>747550591Very good point
Nah, 98 had the same cinematic with some marines in trenches getting fucked.Also > shooter announcementWe also had this, it was called starcraft ghost and it got cancelled
>>747550746I bought Wings of Liberty in 2010 you massive faggot
>>747546330not true, they also ruined wc3 again
the trannies seem upset it's not well recieved
>>747549002So most of that is correct, but the UED never actually stopped observing what was going on with the Koprulu Sector. They'd been observing the prisoners just in case they ever came back or there was some other existential threat to them, and lo and behold both the Protoss and Zerg invade the area and suddenly they've not only discovered aliens exist but are hostile. That's what spurred on the expeditionary forces to come over, conquer the sector, and (temporarily) pacify the Zerg. Yadda yadda yadda, they lose and Kerrigan becomes queen bitch of the universe and the stage is set for SC2.
>>747542717Well yeah, much of Blizzard is now faggots and women. They'd love that to happen, and look, it's happening!
>>747527135Havent touched blizz since 2018
>>747542717What part of "show the aftermath of a guy getting liquefied in his suit" is "gayer"?
>>747526908the Dominion did this during its rule, this spin-off is just showing how burtal the war was, we are you guys so freak out when a non caucasian dude is the main focus, insecure insels, and I'm conservative lol
>boy falls for the propaganda and gets gaslight him being "the elite">dies within 5mins of his first engagementbrutal

>>747535154Easy there, Big Boss.
the trailer was funny as fuck it felt like I was watching a higher budget helldivers. Not sure if it was intended but the blood pouring out of the cmc made me laugh so hard
>>747526908starcraft is thatstarcraft was always thatblizzard was always thatstarcraft was your first rts and you're also gay so you didn't see itgo watch the warcraft 1 cutscenes, they and the story always weird and forced humor
>>747533815Or.. Starcraft Spectre but not with that Sambo Gabriel Tosh, no,This spectre was the first candidate of project Shadowblade, rumoured to be Johnny Raynor, Jim's son.
>>747553875I felt bad because IRL some ppl in USA go to the military to either kill childrens or end up fucked up burned or death :/
>>747526908>Rifle rounds reaches zero>Looks, for 15 seconds but doesn't bother to reload immediately.No wonder Mengsk met his end in HoTS.
>>747526908This is the result of 70 years of reddit space peace.Good times create weak men.

>>747548109S-sasuga
>>747534878>Space beast terror frightHoly shit a brother from another mother. I put BILLIONS of hours in that bitch back when there were different colors of ammo that did different things. Game was amazing for what it was
It just dawned on me what this is, and how Bungie from the olden era did this exact commercial, but better. https://youtu.be/XRMUYpH7bQk?si=FAPEJMRSBoSQuEu5It's the ODST trailer, but significantly gayer in every way.
>>747554107Just listening to the old sc1 marine voicelines you can tell there were some vets or atleast history buffs in the dev team back then.>Outstanding!>I vote we frag this commander>How do I get out of this chickenshit outfitThe type of 'I fucking hate working with you but I hate who we're fighting more' energy.
>>747554446>but significantly gayer in every wayin what way?
>>747554469he self-inserts himself to characters and doesn't want to see them lose. thats woke and gay
>>747554469Main focus of the trailer is very androgynous, and freezes up almost immediately the moment they see the enemy on first contact. When the gun jams, rather than do anything else to stay alive, they just close the visor and essentially accept death rather than fight with whatever is available to keep living. Oh, and whatever's left of them gets flushed out of a suit in the end. Compared to the ODST where you see the same general "young man signs up for war, goes to basic, sees combat first hand" it's the same idea done poorly by comparison.
>>747526908You are raped
>>747546242>just saw it as like life is extremely cheap and you will not be missed when you dieThat's the problem with the whole cinematic. Apart from the distant Confederacy wars, the Terrans suffered apocalyptic losses from the Overmind-Zerg invasion, Kerrigan-Zerg invasion, and finally Kerrigan-Zerg-Kill-Mengsk invasion. The Dominion lost nearly every single capital ship and military asset resisting Kerrigan's second attack; "independent" factions turned out to be Duran puppets and were almost certainly wiped out.People say this game is 70 years later. The entire idea that life is cheap is an insane idea given the Terrans lost somewhere between 2-3 planets each game and expansion - like 15 planets are Zerg mulch or glassed by the Protoss, which is insane compared to merely losing Aiur and Protoss forces having the means to evacuate. There is no fucking way the Terrans are going to continue putting infantry in the field knowing Zerglings and Zealots exist 70 years later, the whole Marine program would be diminished in favor of air, space and artillery. The Americans walked out of WW2, Korea, and Vietnam absolutely refusing to take the same kind of losses suffered in those wars. Just because the Russians are still conducting trench warfare doesn't mean the Terrans are that fucking stupid.Every assault against the Zerg using Terran forces should be an obscene amount of missiles. satellites find burrowed survivors and widow mines are sent in. Then and only after two satellite sweeps are complete is a human being in mechanized armor sent in to merely LOOK a the remains. The only reason why the Zerg should be fielding ground forces rather than dropping on Terran cities is probably because Terran cities are Iron Dome'd x100 and can and will repel an orbital drop of a billion Zerg.It is fucking insane that the Terrans would treat life cheaply. Not because the Terrans give a fuck but because you can't spare a single person against the Zerg.
>>747553484if she was attractive i'd be fine with itbut she's hideous
>>747554601>an 20 year old recruit isn't some emotionless super soldier wow almost like he is a human being.I prefer ODST trailer too, mainly for the banging music but you are just a retard.
>>747554494classic cuck mentality
>>747554723Neither was the 20 something vaguely slavic kid who nearly got his shit pushed in by a Brute, but the tone matters, and the Blizzard trailer bungles it.
Canon life expectancy of a terran marine is 9 seconds you faggot tertiary
>>747554601what a brainlet read.maybe the point is exactly that the young dude in the starcraft trailer essentially gets gaslight about himself being an "elite", while he is not actually prepared to face the enemy at all. the propaganda gasses him up, but he is just another nobody fed into the grinder.
>>747554868What a retard take. Blizzard was capable of doing the same idea better when they weren't filled to the brim with women and gays. But hey, it's clearly meant for smoothbrains like you, so that explains a lot.https://youtu.be/-00uQzXyujI?si=3ElQ62gaYDC3x0Ny
>>747554970is your complaint just that the guy in the sc trailer is brown
>>747554601It was a smash cut time skip. We dont know how much time passed or how long the marine survived.It cuts immediatly after dropping the visor.
>>747555006it wouldn't really matter what the trailer was, xhe would hate it because xhe is a deranged tranny that is obsessed with hating blizzard
>>747554824You speak as if there is a definite "right" tone, when it's all artistic decisions. Like what are you even yapping about
>>747554831Averages are bullshit
>>747554630Been a minute since I played Starcraft, but isn't the area of space where the games take place just one sector of human occupied space? Implying that humanity at large is vastly bigger than what we see.
>>747554868>but he is just another nobody fed into the grinder.The will probably be about being this soldier fed into the grinder, so it has to make a better job at making me excited to play that role.ODST trailer isn't a super soldier either, he just doesn't shit himself and dies. Makes me want to play as one of these guys.
>>747555164The Terrans are alone in their area of space. The remainder of humanity is on the other side of the galaxy. For all intents and purposes the Terrans are operating on their own, which shouldn't actually be the case because now the Protoss and Kerrigan are a phone call away.
>>747540093> cyber punk 2077 teaser trailer was genericIts probably my favorite teaser trailer ever made. It looked more like the game would be more similar to deus ex in the theming around enhancements. They were most likely bad and could end up mind breaking you. Cyberpunk just ended up being the reddit reeves is so cool game. Then midwit take on evil corporations, mixed in with old aristocracy.
SC marines are convicts, so this makes no sense. and don't tell me the story changed, or its different. I have the manual for Starcraft sitting on the window sill in my bathroom and it says right fucking there that they are convicts, so this beats any dumbass counterarguments you want to bring up.
>>747555280isn't brood war about a fleet from earth coming to the sector? so it is very possible to travel between these two areas.
>>747555164yes, the earth directorate sent a single expeditionary fleet in brood war and that was enough to buckbreak every other faction in the game
I'll say, one thing blizzard doesnt cut costs on is hiring shills. Every single slop release from them as supposed "anons" lapping it up in threads. Then a week or two passes after release and there are no threads. Same happened to diablo 4, shit had 30 reply threads that died
>>747555164Yes. The Terrans are cutoff from the rest of humanity and basically had to start from nothing and rebuild civilization. Despite this they still put up a fight against zerg and protoss. So, this means that the rest of humanity is probably the strongest military force in the galaxy and would crush the zerg and protoss at the very least.
>>747526908True. He should have started doing fortnite dances if they wanted me to buy.
>>747533028You're retarded if you genuinwly believe this, they solved this in AvP (2010) they can do it in a modern game
i played original sc1 when it came out in internet cafesi spent 20+ years with starcraft, i even got that community medal from blizzardand i feel nothing
>>747555164The games take place essentially on the frontier of human space, which ties in with the cowboy and wild west-esque vibes of the first starcraft game. When the shit kicks off on the frontier, the central human government sends in reinforcements which end up kicking everyone's ass. The even are of course monumental to the place in the local area, but it's not to not get the sense that from the point of view of humanity at large, it is little more than a border skirmish on the edge of a vast empire.
>>747526908'look at his lips'
Alot of info about this game will leak any day. If your cousins roomates parents neighbors uncle gave a blizzard employee a handjob, you know shit about this game. Blizzard employees have no fucking leashes atmWhat theyre trying to do sounds pretty amazing but I need gameplay to leak before im sold on them being able to achieve it.
>>747555921>set for 2030they do not have gameplay anywhere near a state where they could show it to the public.
>>747532695blizzard shuts down before it comes out
>>747526908You a tourist? Watch the og SC's cutscenes.
So how does retrieval of Terran corpses work? I figured they'd just leave the bodies out there. They actually obtained the bodies from the aftermath of that hellhole? I guess the gear is pretty expensive and resources are limited so that does make sense I guess.
>>747558890it's obvious that they won the engagement
>>747527264You wanna piss on me, boy?
>>747558890it's for the equipment"bodies are expendable, weapons and equipment are not" kinda thing like what the Russians doing currently
>>747527135Why were you playing Blizzard slop in first place? Are you mentally challenged?
>>747540983>>747534494>mercy was ten years ago
>a lone zealot stands up and activates his psi blades against the horde, while the pylon behind him barely finishes warping inKINO>dude kerrigan super sayianthey ruined it then
>>747526908Looking back on it, this whole trailer was kinda dumb.It made sense to lose marines in large quantities because they were cheap fodder.Here they're clearly well trained, competent, and well motivated, but still being dumped on the enemy less than a KM from where they're built up.You'd think they'd burn through everyone competent and able bodied relatively quick with strategies like that.
>>747526908What’s the problem? They showed that pussies deserve to die. Pretty based desu.
>>747555028>3 zerg gunning directly at him in his reflection>gun jammed and shitting bricksYes, surely he lived a lot longer in this mission - we just missed the huge siege tank barrage that saved his ass a split second later, allowing him to fight all the way to the hive before dying more heroically than we are shown.
>>747559908>You'd think they'd burn through everyone competent and able bodied relatively quick with strategies like that.who is to say they didn't?
I get that this is a normieslop video game, but depicting “young men are seduced by patriotic mythology and then fed into the machinery of war” as some kind of dramatic revelation feels incredibly trite when every corner of social media has spent the last 4 years getting plastered with real videos of russian men getting their intestines turned into tree garlands by suicide drones. The real thing is worse in ways that fiction can't reproduce. Yeah, war turns young, aspirational men into cannon fodder? Yeah, that's quaint. Like, no fucking shit.
>>747526908>Starcraft FPS>not a First Person Slasher with a Protoss MCno buy
>>747560302protoss chars are gonna be paid DLC
>>747560026I mean, they all SEEMED fairly capable, they just got dumped on the enemy's main force with no support or ammo and got completely overrun.I feel like giving any real training or gear to the guys you're using as fodder is a bit of a waste, especially when they're actually prime fighting age troops in good health.
>>747560203your point being what? That it represents reality too much?
>>747560203>real videos of russian men getting their intestines turned into tree garlands by suicide drones.not enough of them thoughTZD

Like I don't get it, Blizzard took a shitton of WH40K references, made them less egregious(unlike garbage such as helldivers). Generated a lot of world building such as the guild wars, the birth of the confederacy, the early resistance days, nuclearization of korhal and the real first contact unlike the rushed garbage that we got in the game and much more

>>747547624Another faggot mad about his shitty propaganda being called out while he shows absolute disdain for gaming. Do you think anyone here is going to believe you’re not some rabid ideologue who comes here exclusively to do damage control? You faggots all spew the same retarded demoralization narratives and make your position on everything clear. And it always fails because your delusional version of reality falls apart at the most basic push back. And then you spend hours being as cancerously obnoxious as possible and play dumb because you think if you halt all discourse it means you didn’t lose the argument and aren’t wrong.
>>747549002No you retard. The Dominion persists under Mengsk. Mengsk jr. Who btw introduces democratic reforms and anti corruption measures.
>>747549672>So this is what the "conservative" grifter marketYou mean the faggots that only you pay attention to became it lets you blame all the sentiment against your propaganda on some random faggot instead of having to engage with it? How is the GCJ doing these days? Still impotently seething at /v/ for existing?
>>747532167translation>it went from hidden propaganda to give goylems the zealous wish to die for israel to whatever it is nowLet's be real, its no longer Gulf War days so the amount of related propaganda and its 9/11 counterpart died down. The ship sailed long ago so there's no use in pushing the same old that shooterslop did ad nauseam during the console war of the 2000s. Even so, original SC1 was more of a horror sci-fi story and SC2 about rebellious criminals and Raynor's retarded love story so the golem propaganda elements of it were near zero.The main issue with the new trailer is that they went for the most generic "message", not fitting with golemite tastes whereas they could have just let things in uncertainty to the very least as a safe bet and pulled the rug once the game released. Showing less faces would have been better as well. Props to the devs for not going for the same thing as other modern iterations of propagandaslop like helldivers, I will give them that.
>>747559908Humans are expendable resources.
>>747549672If there's anything the thread has shown, is that conservative culture warriors and soifags had always been sides of the same coin and most likely barely played the original game

why can't jannies do their fucking job for once?

>>747526908They need to appeal the new generation of gamers, and that's the face of it. Clueless, afraid, doesn't know what to do, doesn't know what's going on, needs a UI that looks like an app on your phone.
>>747533705Wasn't the implication that if the UED ever came back everyone's ass was getting powerwhipped?
Good to see hydras spewing goo instead of the faggy needles or whatever
>fighting zerg for like 100 years>best tactic they can think of is still to airdrop a bazillion marines right next to the zerg
>>747569845Don't know what you're insinuating, breh. Both premises have been coexisting side-by-side for a hot decade now.
>>747527135Why didn't you stop playing Blizz games 15 years ago?
>>747526908THIS MARINE IS CUTE AS FUCK AND MOGS 90% OF /V/
>>747569010Kerrigan blew his fucking head up, but Valerian took over afterwardsand apparently not much changed despite him being a 'good' guy
Didn't they just put a bunch of convicts and hillbillies in power armor and throw them at the enemy with the same success? Why are they even training these meatshields?
>>747571351if it ain't broke, don't fix itMarine drops into the zerg mineral line (that's why we can see the hatcheries in the distance in triler) are the core of TvZ
>>747571892Terrans in SC are like a massive prisoner colony of rednecks that got separated from Earth. They were literally the "Confederacy" and flew the battle flag of northern virginia
>>747533573NS1 was special
>>747526908Fuck. I hate the SC2 aesthetics. And this looks x2 worse.
>>747569812the range upgrade for SC1 hydras is called Grooved Spines tourist-kun...
>>747526908Based, fuck pussies.
>>747533573I still can't believe the same people responisble for NS1 and NS2 made Subnautica.
>>747572123Protoss pussy hopefully
>>747568607There's the mission in Heart of the Swarm where Kerrigan infests a Protoss with a parasite so when she's recalled to their ship it kills her and becomes a Queen, killing all of the Protoss on the ship. The end of the mission shows the Queen trying to contact Kerrigan but failing so she vows to follow Kerrigan's last command to her (kill the Protoss).
>>747572031It still pisses me off that they never added it to steam (and that Flayra made so many braindead decisions with the later patches).
>>747571862Maybe it's Valerian's son ruling now, since this game is 70 years after SC2. Valerian would be in his 90s if he's still alive.
>>747572032Same. I miss the dirty and angular Terran look. Everything in SC2 and in this trailer looks so shiny and rounded.
>>747572123Sooo, fuck yourself?
>>747569812It was the Mutalisk's acid. Hydralisks shoot spines.
>>747569812?
>>747527135i'm glad, but how the fuck did it take you this long?
>>747572264we are never ever getting an actual Protoss game where you play as a gigachad Zealot and have romance options>>747572334Niadra is just a single rogue broodmother though and her focus is Protoss>>747572416>Valerian's son is a gigachud who hates his father and thinks grampa Mengsk was the best guy everkek
>>747526908Why are there so many subversive "Um war is bad actually. You aren't a hero" games coming out while Israel is begging American teens to die in Ukraine and Gaza? If I were an army recruiter I'd be spending my jew money to get these games banned.
>>747563052because a big chunk of the game is free to play, just not the campaign. and the original sc1/bw is free to play.

>>747572670Spec Ops the LineThat one Playstation shooter with the bugsThe other bug game that's based on the famous movie with the bugs that the former bug game is homaging
>>747572636Blizzard hopping so late on the skin bandwagon before abandoning the entire game soon after was bizarre. Considering that they had already implemented a working "skin system" with HotS in 2013.
>>747572772>Mentions games that are already released>Cant even name them properly
Are overlords and barracks really that big in universe?
>>747532469The target audience for ALL these games is millennials. Everything based on an existing property has them as its target audience. Zoomers don't play game anymore, at least they don't play these games.That makes it extra absurd that all this shit is so full of gay retard shit. Then again, I suppose millennials might just be the gayest and most retarded generation to ever exist, so maybe that's appropriate after all.
>>747572871Overlords have to be big since the double as air transports.
>>747572864>you said coming out instead of came out so I win
>>747572871Yes, overlords are MASSIVE (only 100 minerals btw)Also why the fuck are the zerg acting up again? After sc2 they reverted to random space critters from pre sc1
>>747573045>I cant actually think of any games that werent from a decade ago so I win teeheeTourist
>>747533387Aliens Fireteam Elite. It's even 80% off right now.There is a sequel that recently came out but there is no reason to play it when you can wait for patches and play the first one.
>>747527135>Playing Blizzard games in modern dayCattle will never stop being cattle
Ah so SC is another of those games midwits didn’t realize was mocking them? It’s an anti-war game bros
>>747573052> After sc2 they reverted to random space critters from pre sc1???Zagara leads the Swarm as the Overqueenthe last we heard she was into terraforming business
>>747572872This is true but I would say it's not millenials, it's normies. Normies want to play franchises, they don't want to play games.All women are normies.
>>747573037>have to be big since the double as air transportsAn overlord carries 8 zerglings. A dropship/medivac carries 8 marines.A barracks can bring hundreds of marines.The overlord should not be bigger than a barracks. That is incorrect.
>>747572102>>747572486>>747572573sorry, it looked like goo in game
>>747573270gameplay != lorethe scale is completely off ingamea Battlecruiser is more than a kilometer long and has crew in the 1000s yet it costs only as much as 8 marines to make
>>747573270They're not bigger than the barracks. Did you see the barracks? It was gargantuan.
>>747573270>grrrr why isn’t there scale in my RTSRetarded??
>>747572871
>>747573052>Also why the fuck are the zerg acting up again?Maybe this >>747572334>>747573270Overlord can also carry 2 Ultralisks.
>>747573052Overlords in lore are 18x12x12 (HWL) metersAnd as for why the wars are starting again, Zagara isn't that in control. Even right after the end of SC2. Abathur rebelled almost immediately because he finds war better for Zerg than peace so he tried to assassinate Valerian and started breeding his own Broodmothers. His rebellion was quickly put down and and he was enslaved, but he still has a lot of leverage since he's too necessary to the Zerg to kill, and he refuses to build a replacement for himself.There's also Niadra, another rogue broodmother who specializes in espionage and infiltration and has also been working on tearing apart the alliance between the factions through super stealthy partially-infested Terran sleeper agents.
>>747568385This was my issue as well. What exactly is the alternative? Just uh.. Let the Zerg turn everyone in to biofuel? The same people watching the trailer would freak out if you told them we should never have fought WW2 or that Ukraine shouldn't have fought back. But apparently it's bad to fight for your survival as a species? It just reminds me of the people on twitter trying to make silly arguments in favour of getting your brains sucked out by the bugs in Starship Troopers.
>>747533573>natural selectionthat was the pinnacle of gaming, before the devs messed up the asymmetric balance to placate the counter-strike players. they couldn't get their heads around the kharaa's playstyle, and kept demanding unnecessary buffs.
>>747574468Flayra trying to force combat mode (or whatever it was called) on to the community was next level retardation.
>>747537248Pointing that out doesn't make me want to play the game. I want to feel heroic.Helldivers does a better job of this.
>>747574468natural selection, the specialists, sven coop, vampire slayer, action half-life, science and industry, earth special forces, day of defeatgod half-life mods were so fucking amazing and FREE
>>747568385Guys... what if we're the BAD GUYS?
>>747532695Helldivers 2 but blizzard doesnt nerf loadouts until you're effectively better off punching shit
>>747568385>>747574063The angle isn't "war is bad" dummies, it's only that war is gruesome. Necessary things can be gruesome. That's why it doesn't just end on the screaming and sobbing marine. It ends on the engineer getting back to work on the ruin of his armor while the rookie's gore literally oozes out of it. It's grisly business, but someone's gotta do it.
>>747575841If that was their message they didn't communicate it at all. The message I got was "you're a fucking retard for wanting to defend your species from monsters who want to eat humanity, mind body and soul"
>>747575954Well communication is a two way street. What I got out of it is "time for another war. Who wants to be meat?" And you, the player, are supposed to go "hell yeah into the blender".
>>747576036>"hell yeah into the blender".Nah, that's Helldivers. This is just confused demoralization porn.Terrans are the only playable faction too, so how is this supposed to get the player hyped up? At least in Helldivers you get a cape, stirring music, tons of tongue-in-cheek propaganda, and everyone is in on the joke. This is just making the player take the role of a fucking idiot.
>>747533068Most of them were civilians. Literally. Germans massacred most of civilians they captured. >Hurr duu you're free from communism! >People started celebrate >Now you all must dieThat's how it was. Except civilians, Germans also killed over 2m traitors, who betrayed ussr and wanted to join Germany. >>747535714Stalin was a German fan and before 41, he killed all officers and most of generals. Because Germans asked him to do it. He also forbidden his army to fought back for like 10 days after Germany attacked. He called it>Provocation And told to not fight backStalin actions lead to huge loses in the first years of war.
The trailer is mocking the player. That's the fundamental problem. Demonstrating a contempt for anyone who might want to play the game.
>>747576341You were supposed to be able to anticipate the result ahead of time. I knew he was going to get gored as soon as we saw them lined up and cheering. You should already know the fate of a terran marine. The point was the spectacle, and the hype comes from getting to experience that hopelessness at ground level.Helldivers is too cheery about it. The helldivers themselves are all indoctrinated beyond belief, they cheer as they suicide rush the enemy. As I said: it's you the PLAYER who is in no danger and can revel in that; the marine SHOULD be hollering for his life as he looks death in the face twenty times a minute.War is gruesome. QED.
andro looking ass foid
I legitimately do not get the outrage over this trailer. The trope of some new recruit being gussied up on war propaganda only to get mulched in an actual war is old as fuck. And these marines aren't Terrans from the SC games, they are Dominion. The Terran marines are the ones who marched criminals into their armor to be marines iirc.
>>747576506And as cherry on top>2030
>>747526908>Oh my Reddit! The Zerg are coming! *pisses and shits himself* *dies*Yuuuuup, that's a terran marine in the game, alright
>>747575665>but blizzard doesnt nerfare you unfamiliar with blizzard?
It's not really surprising for all their game announcement and updates to be extremely disappointing. Look at the fucking devs. Soiboy garbage, fat chicks and I rolled my eyes at the wc3 team just being chinkoids.I highly doubt it was Activision that forced them to fill quotas for diversity hires.
It's his first battle jeez
>>747576742I am probably not american enough to understand it, anons act like the dude is the blackest nigger they've ever seen while he seems to barely be a shade of brownPlus what did they expect an average marine to be like? That's what happens to them in the game if medic isn't around, they get rushed by zerg and die, or get blown up by their own artillery
>>747576742>And these marines aren't Terrans from the SC games, they are DominionWhat?The Dominion replaced the Confederacy which were the descendants of criminals exiled from earth. The Dominion, the Confederacy, the UED and the Kel-Morian Combine all use marines.
>>747526908>trailer depicts what actually happens to most soldiers in the starcraft universe>MUH REDDITThis even happens (in a way cooler) cutscene in the original games, come on
>>747576595Why would I want to pay money to have this experience?
>>747560203Is the tragedy over? Do young people not go to war anymore? Have the intestines stop showing? No? Then it means that this was not shown enough and it needs to be more enforced. This was never about you getting it or not getting it, this is about showing it until people reach their breaking point and put a bullet in between the eyes of the faggot who tries to take him away.
>>747577221For the challenge of it? Do you complain about being a weakling zombie in Dark Souls when the giant gods and dragons will style all over you?>but I get to triumph over them!And you'll get to triumph as your lowly marine here too. Eventually. After dying a lot. Video games are a story of victory, the player always wins.
The only thing I appreciated about this trailer was the return to something more gritty rather than the cartoonish shit SC2 gave us.
>>747576836we were talking about hypotheticals with rainbows and free blowjobs anon, of course john blizzard himself is gonna plant himself at your door to sodomize you the second you dare play his game in a way he didnt intend
>>747568661it has in most cases where they didn't have another off-shore megafactory (US) sending them over 50% of their ammunition and suppliesfailed in WW1failed in Crimean WarRussia is a perennial loser and jobber that won once in WW2 and everyone treats them as eternally mighty... the inverse of France's fate.
>>747572871Battlecruisers are like the size of cities
>>747577152The Umojan Protectorate too. They had a relatively significant role in Heart of the Swarm, granting hideout to Valerian, Raynor and Kerrigan at the start of the game where they were testing if she can still control Zerg.
>>747577679Where the fuck does gothic architecture in the Koprulu sector even come from???
>New strarcraft game >it's an open world shooter
>>747577434>Video games are a story of victory, the player always wins.The trailer does not communicate this at all. It only says that you, the player, are a moron and a sucker for wanting to fight for your species. The climax of the brief narrative is the rugpull: "HAHAHA you thought you were a hero! You fucking idiot! You're just a fucking dupe."
>>747577870Games Workshop concept art.
>>747526908Contrast this with the ODST trailer.Both had training montages, both had a first encounter with the alien enemy. In ODST, the recruit is blooded in a chaotic first battle where he easily could have died, but survives. He is stronger for it. The war may seem eternal and hopeless, but he is heroic for persisting.In this Starcraft trailer, the recruit is just a sucker who gets mulched for no purpose. No heroism present anywhere.
>>747533815If Blizzard lets me play as a bodysuit clad female ghost I will buy their game
>>747578545Lol. Lmao.
>>747578536It's so deep....it's like...the character is a COG in the MACHINEThis shit is like TEMU helldivers
>>747553484>black woman>short hair/side shave >AMPUTEE stunning and brave
>>747553484What the fuck is this
>>747533453Now there is something you dont see everyday...thank god
>>747579095Blizzards new direction for character design.
>>747579265>Torbjorn and Zariya have zero ethnicityWhat does that even mean? Overwatch is a global organization with members from all over the globe and missions happening in every country, and white people are like 7% of humanity.
>>747579469>>Torbjorn and Zariya have zero ethnicitythe brownerer, the more ethnic are you retarded?
>>747544790Medics are UED's tech. Basic turdwodler dominiggers won't get a healing waifu
reminder that the same people who talk about snowflakes get demoralized by cutscene of a soon to be cancelled game kek
>>747579520The word "ethnic" doesn't literally mean "brown", it means not identifying as part of the group due to culture or appearance. In Overwatch's case the "group" should be Earth, so if anything being white should be "ethnic".
>>747579626The Medic technology did arrive with the UED but the Terran Dominion adopted it after seeing them too. Since this game is 70 years after SC2 (where they even have Medevacs) that Terran Dominion should definitely have Medics.
>>747579810The medics are flying the dropships now, and since there were no medivacs nobody was coming out of that battle alive.
The biggest red flag nobody brings up is the 2030 release date. Its insane to tease a game 4 fucking years before launching. I highly suspect that this game is another covid abortion that has been in dev hell since 2020.
>>747580047Yeah this game isn't going to see the light of day. I think everyone knows that, so we're mostly interested in the trailer in and of itself, as an insight into the culture at Blizzard.
>>747580047It's 2030 before delays too, and it might can scrapped by then like Starcraft: Ghost did.
>>747526908why do they just push them out the door with 0 support or heavier firepower against a horde of enemies???
>>747578159>The trailer does not communicate this at all. Of course it does. You know what's going to happen to a terran marine the second he aspires to be a terran marine. You've played StarCraft.And if you haven't, then the trailer is not for you.
>>747580267Barracks rush cheese. The zerg player correctly guessed this and employed his own zergling all in counter cheese.
>>747580047>is the 2030 release dateThe further out, the more obvious they have barely started and they're just guessing.Could well turn out ot be 2032 assuming Microsoft hasn't taken them out back by then.
>>747580224We actually got to see what possible gameplay of Starcraft:Ghost would've been though. This is just a cinematic trailer and nothing else. Though it's interesting that both Ghost and this have a trailer of Terran Marines getting their shit pushed in by a horde of Zerg. It's just that one looks and feels more like Starcraft than the other.
>>747580267The commander set the wrong really point for the barracks, happens to me in RTS games all the time.
>>747527643Retard, marines are literally expendaple pawns. The only lesser combat unit in the original Starcraft was literally fucking zerglings that still mulched marines in actual melee.
>>747526908In 1998 the winds of the end of the Cold War and victory at the Gulf were soaring high. By 2030, the failures in Afghanistan/Iraq/Iran plus Washington fighting out the hard way the don't have conventional force advantage over their enemies caused a natural demoralization campaign.Nothing was forced per se, it just was how it all turned out.
>>747580396Pretty late Barracks rush considering the hundred Mutalisks flying above the Zerglings.

>>747554047Mengsk was literally a once in a lifetime genius and his only fumble was letting his emotions take over in regards to Kerrigan. If he didn't try to get revenge on her, Jim would still be on his side, Kerrigan wouldn't be zerg, and the Protoss (Tassadar) wouldn't hate him.
>>747580702the SC2 engine was a technical masterpiece. they really have lost all talent they ever had.
>>747537704Have you ever fucking played Starcraft? Like at all? Marines die in seconds when fighting starts. A protoss Zealot can cut a marine down in just a few swipes, hydralisks rip trough marines, Zerglings when they get into melee mulch on marines.Marines are not supersoldiers. They are fucking shite by themselves. They need support to work effectively. They need heavy armor, medics, long range artillery and what not. They aren't fucking 40k's space marines. The closest thing to that in Starcraft are Protoss Zealots and even they die fast when fighting really starts.
>>747554446America needs a real war where the majority of men aged 16 to 35 are killing or dying in droves (likely to drones). We don't actually know how military culture works and can't portray it in media anymore.
>>747580806The lighting in SC2 looks so good.
>>747580702>that listJesus christ. Really feels like they had to put out something to get the shareholders happy and now they need to actually start working on a game.
>>747580842Well Starcraft, ALL units have stupidly short lifespans the moment the action kicks in. You can go from maxed out supply to suddenly needing a new army in a handful of seconds in an engagement for all 3 factions. Blizzard ramped up just how much damage the armies could do to ridiculous degrees.
>>747564613Blah blah blah blah shut your fucking trap, you low-IQ poltard.
>>747580909the thing still blows me away is the particle and shader effects. excellent work.
>>747555513Sorry that was retconned, the UED is out of the game.
>>747581017although that's mostly technical art rather than engine tech
>>747580893America has never had a war where they "die in droves" because we're not Slavs.
>>747580936The game has been in pre-prod for 2 years already (after they cancelled the survival RPG they were making, which was sort of a Titan 2.0 original IP attempt by younger devs at Blizzard)It really doesn't look like much has been accomplished in that time, which is very much The Blizzard Way of doing things. They're still infected with the mindset of dragging their feet and then scrapping and crunching everyone to death near the end, much like Naughty Dog, Bungie, Bioware and a bunch of other studios used to do before they realized what a terrible method that was.
>>747580953It's not just gameplay-wise, in the manual or something it said that during the Brood Wars the Terran Dominion Marines had an average lifespan of like 37 seconds before the introduction of Medics.
>>747580953Yeah, but that was still largely the case in SC1. SC2 made that fucking worse which is why I dislike it as it is just too fucking fast to play to be fun in my view.But the tendency of shit to die fast in combat in Starcraft is at the root, not some new thing.Terran Marines were chaff units that only got good after heavy investment in upgrades, and still needed support. Pure Marines by themselves were always immensely vulnerable. Only after medics were introduced in Brood War did marine spam even become sort of viable.
>>747581205it's a great method, the catch is that you need talented and motivated developers.
>>747581175The closest America has had to that kind of warfare was the Civil War, where the Union would feed entire regiments into a battle with the knowledge they could eat those losses better than the Confederates could.
>>747581312they did the same in africa, korea and the bulge
>>747578618Overwatch has multiple characters that fit the criteria, it's not too unrealistic to wish for
>>747581406oh and island hopping was also just joes into a meat grinder and relying on having more meat
>>747581286If I remember right, Terrans weren't even considered a competitive race for a while in SC1 until Brood War gave them more tools to work with, mostly just the Medic.
>"While expendable, the massive losses of terran Marines during the Great War began to become cost prohibitive. The Medic's use of chemical modifiers has greatly enhanced the survival rate of UED forces, lengthening the expected battlefield life expectancy to over nine seconds."
>>747581175We had a single battle and we've been trying to capture the magic of Omaha beach ever since.
>>747581489The meat grinder was more true for the Imperial Japanese Army, where banzai charges were common....and often effective.
>>747581489>relying on having more meatWe were attacking. Of course we're going to try to outnumber the enemy, ideally more than three-to-one. But we also killed roughly three-to-one. So the idea that the US just threw bodies at the problem isn't really accurate.Just because people die in war doesn't mean that men are callously expended.
>>747581205No, it burns out even the most loyal veterans eventually and then they leave and take all institutional knowledge with themLike how today there is not a single person at Blizzard that understands the WC3 world editor, so they have to contract modders whenever they want to do weird shit like add this new Forsaken Kingdom campaign
>>747581739yeah you get great KIA if you murder every POW and say they wouldn't surrender
>>747581901*KDR
Callous expenditure of men is both sides each having 50,000 dudes killed or crippled in a battle over a potato field in Donbass. Zoomers think all war is like that.
>>747581505More or less yeah. Terrans were kind of shit before Brood War. Starcraft properly became an actual esports only after brood war because it made the game legitimately more ballanced.
>>747581835blizzard's loyal veterans were on board not until crunch got too bad, but until HR made the company into woke hell
>>747582061That whole breast milk thing really gave the HR karens the opportunity for a power grab they were looking for.
>>747580457funnily enough zealots only actually loses to marines only once army sizes start getting to like 100+ supply because zealots are just that fucking dumb
I fucking hate the 40kekification of every sci-fi franchise.>hurp durp it's also le desperate struggle le humanity fuck ye-No, Starcraft muhreens would not act like this.
>>747576742Gamers want to insert as heroic macho characters, not crybabys that die pissing themselves. Not hard to understand.
>>747582342We're not going back to space rednecks, are we?https://youtu.be/m9bycZhA75M?si=_CxEh6ctMIT3rRd-
>>747582202nah that was use of power, not acquisition of it. they were already in control.
>>747582413>saar where my power fantasyStop embarrassing yourself retard.
>>747582342No cold fusion for you.
>>747526908What the fuck kind of mutt is that supposed to be?
>>747582489Did you even play any of the games? Its heroic fantasy disguised as sci-fi. Youre crying because fans of the original want more of the of the same instead of whatever this slop is going to be.
>>747581487Early Overwatch was such coomerbait. Shit like that would never fly with current year Blizzard.
>>747533815Funny how all the emasculated faggots who complain about woke shit still love obnoxious feminist shit, as long as they believe the female character in question is attractive.
>>747582806it didn't even fly at 2017 blizzard
>>747582659A Terran from the Koprulu sector.
Dominion were the OG space faring humans whose ancestors were from the Terran Confederacy who got cut off and declared their own stateTheir military is professional volunteers mixed with convicts fused into their armor with propaganda brain chips attached in their brainsRaynor's breakaway rebel group are all elites who served in the Dominion and broke free, the Dominion troops who fought and won in Char are also Mengsk's elite who joined up with his son's and Warfield's campaignThe average trained Marine can survive up to 9 seconds, the Holt guy in the trailer lasted near twice as that so he's actually an eliteThe Dominion in SC1 and SC2 don't really care about the lives of their men since they have billions at their disposalThe real Terran Confederacy are stuck back on Earth scraping by a living and you kick their ass in Brood War. They have the largest human military in Starcraft lore but they're heavily focused on defending the Solar System and doing a slow crawl across nearby galaxies. The fleet you beat up in Brood War was just a scouting party because Earth wanted to find out what the fuck happened to the fleet they've sent in the Koprulu sector eons ago
Fuck me I meant UED, not Confederacy
>>747532819He got rekt so it seems fitting.
>>747577870>gothic architectureIt isn't though. Retard.
>>747582267Luv me some Zealots. Nothing beats warping in a bunch of fanatic 4 meter tall ayylmao warriors ready to slize and dice up human and zerg alike with their mind sabers.Protoss are without a doubt, the coolest part of Starcraft.
