Overall they look really good. Have a look.

PS, in the last part you get to see the new Lurker model.

I have to say, I've been calling for multiple death animations based on the fatal hit from the start. I think the 'burned to death' animation looks pretty good up close. However, one criticism of Blizzard's demo is that they neglected to show when these special animations are used, which I think is a major oversight.

Had they shown a back-to-back sample scenarios or even mixed them up in the one scenario they showed (Terran vs Zerg bit), it would have better showcased the overall feel/impact of having multiple deaths in-game.

This is pretty cool, except the carrier death animation looks kind of lame.

I really think Blizzard needs to focus on redesigning the whole site before the beta. Still, this was a nice little video.

I like it. Did the Lurker get a redesign?




Btw, Karune Q&A Batch 51 is going to be posted tomorrow.

It's a promotional site, not some resource for stats and strategies etc. It's made to look cool.

And the new Lurker model is awesome!

The lurker looks a little better, still couldnt get a good look at its face.

I wonder if this will be the last Q&A batch?

I'm quite aware of that, but even so, if alot of the screenshots and unit profiles are old, it does not make a good impression on the game. Dont leave old pre-alpha footage and screenshots up there for some people to get the wrong impression.

Lurker doesn't look that much retouched...

Nah, just a touch-up.

Looks way better, though.

Lurker is still ugly as hell IMO.
