Should Heroes Look Different?

[Pandonetho]

It's obvious it's bigger, just look at its size compared to Zerglings, marines and mutalisks. Compare that to the regular battlecruiser in screenshots compared to zerglings, marines, and mutalisks.

Well actually, I won't say obvious, but I'm at least pretty sure that it's bigger.

Check the mutas that fly in at 1:26

Now look at the mutas here, they look bigger next to the cruiser.

I guess that leaves 3 answers, a) I need glasses, b) the Hyperion is bigger or c) They decreased the size of some Zerg units.

I just think the scale is different in different missions. In the caverns mission with Zeratul, it seems everything is correctly to scale. But in large battle maps, the scale is more like multiplayer.

I think it's definitely b), I mean compare the ships to the turrets, against the Hyperion they're only big enough to take up one 'wing' section of the head, yet against the normal BC, they take up one wing and most of the centre section.

Unless someone can say or show otherwise, the Hyperion does look bigger than your standard BC. The mutas in that missile barrage pic looks like it can take up the hammerhead, yet on the Hyperion it looks like an insect. Then you look at the missile turret and the medivac to the standard BC, and compare a barrack to the Hyperion. Unless they've recently changed the scales on any of those graphics, the Hyperion should at least stand out on size alone.

Having said that, at the very least on ships, I hope they do more than simply blow up the unit size and remove team colour. It would still work in making the hero unit stand out, but I would think we've reached a point where Blizzard can do a little more especially after teasing us with those CG Hyperion pics.
