Why is Kerrigan black now? That makes no sense.

so... how did Kerrigan move the entire cave from one planet to other? XD
I highly doubt that part about Corrupted or Spec Ops Kerrigan; Those are merely new abilities, or ability sections (Called battle focuses). Notice there are 2 more at the bottom. One has claws, and the other has something like telekinesis. Though I think one of Kerrigan's battle focuses will have the ability to turn into the Queen of Blades at will, as someone suggested on this forum. Her suit is probably made of nanomachines that can disassemble at will should she choose to morph into the QoB.Quote:

EDIT: I'm really digging the way Kaldir looks! Only thing I am disappointed in so far is that the player Zerg are orange...Why not purple?
I thought that exact thing when I saw that image the first time.Quote:

By the way, are Izsha and Abathur characters that have existed before in the saga or are they brand-new?
Oh, and the weird "evolved" Queen on the Char mission is Za'gara, a Zerg Queen you have to kill. Basically an enemy Hero queen.
Interestingly, you seem to revisit Char later on (assuming the campaign starts on Char).
I actually like it. Purple's gotten almost as boring as blue. Kerrigan seemed orange in WoL, and her elite units (the leviathan, the nydus network) were orange.Quote:

I guess they're new. But in canon, it will be like they were always there helping kerrigan with her swarm... or at least abathur :3, since Izsha is kerrigan memories as queen of blades.Quote:

And I want new cerebrate, or new zerg voice. But after what I saw in screenshot (human-faced queen), I think, we will have queen again -_- Would be better to hear Kerrigan's voice, if we can't hear something, like overmind.
But average picture slighty reminds me about Dark Spore and elfs from WC3.
Like most of you said, Kerrigan is freaking ugly wtf? Weird considering how good she looks on the concept art from blizzcon... Big fail from the 3D artist I guess. Hopefully they will have the time to fix this (but I assume they will be too stubborn to change it) . They just need to ask the guy who modeled her in the New Gettysburg cinematic; this guy knows how to make Kerrigan sexy :p
Anyways, I have mixed feelings about all those screenshots. We'll see how it turns out.
Looks fine to me.Quote:

She looks fugly, and default looking. Like someone took a default mannequin model and put dread locks on her.
None of the women in Starcraft 2 deserve to be called women. They all have some weird feature to them that makes it feel like some guy had a field day at the Oblivion character add screen.
Yeah that's her best picture but she looks terrible on the others. Then again, maybe those just don't do her justice and she looks better when you actually see her move. We'll see.Quote:

There seems to be a disconnect between artists.
I agree. She looks fine.Quote:

Notice it says 'Mission 1... 2... 3'. It also states the planetary objective. I suspect we will have less planets, with more of a mini-campaign focus on each.
Love the idea for the research advisor, probably going to be one of my favorite characters but the other, Izsha? She seems... forced almost. Wouldn't an overlord or an actual queen be more appropriate than this "memory" of her as the queen of blades? Is that to imply that the swarm tried to replace her as an overarching control mechanism? She simply raises too many questions.
What I really want to know is when we'll get more info. These screen caps only make me want more and impatient about
it's supposed to be 3am EST. I'm quite sure that will be a scrolling list. 30 missions, 2-3 planets per mission makes it an easily 10-14 missions
2 hours 24 minutes.Quote:

Yes. After that we will get more infoQuote:

basically a proactive cease-and-desist. more like a don't-even-start.
It's also known as an Embargo. It's basically something you sign that says I won't post this stuff before x date and if I do I may not be invited back to visit Blizzard for future news.
That would be beautiful.Quote:

Also that last image of her is really good, just like I thought she would look. But in some of the other pictures she barely look zerg nor human at all!
Isn't he so young? When she was Queen of Blades, she was more serious. Now he like a happy girl from many adventures-quests and trying to get control over swarm.
personally, I think she looks fine. not ugly, but not super pretty either. just a notch above average. she was never supposed to be supermodel status, looks-wise.
the campaign mode looks promise...I'm digging those high-poly zerg models :)
She doesn't look unique. That's the real problem. Sure she's got the hair / suite, but her face is default. Similar to Nova, they look so default.Quote:

They have the same nose and head shape arrangement. I dunno why all Blizzard women have the same head shape, like oval. Did they not look at how many different head shapes that women have?
Kerrigan kinda looks like a 24 year old, not an elequent queen of the damned.
She's supposed to be seductive but not beautiful. In Broodwar she had a more triangular face, small chin wide forehead. IE, unique and not mistakable. She also had seductive, devilish eye brows.

Reminds me of Angelina Jolie

The angle maybe, no other features are even remotely similar.Quote:

The current Kerrigan looks like a little girl. Hell Nova looks more in charge than Kerrigan does.
I hope they're still working on the face for the release which is in like 9 months
Early 2012, I think. If they said about 18 months after WoL releasedQuote:
