StarCraft: First Contact

[Freespace]

Greetings everyone,

I'm so excited the cinematic is finally done, and we could show it to you! Thanks for the comments, it's really rewarding to see people enjoyed it. I'll also let my friend Phillip know he did a great job as Tassadar, he'll go crazy

I was quite satisfied with the carriers weapon, though Yamato woulda been cool..I think it was a wise decision.

*crys*

I need moar fleet on fleet action =(

*watches again*

[Kerriganz]

epic enough said!

[sandwich_bird]

So that's where the top image come from. Nice. Does that mean that we will have another video with the DT psi storm image as well?

[Crazy_Jonny]

BRAVO!

I think I fangasmed when Tassadar spoke, and then seeing the fleet warp in. Just... perfect!

[bebbodvx]

that was so good my head hurts now
nice implementation of the planet cracker

[Edfishy]

Yeah, I was impressed with the Tassadar voice. Sounded very authentic!

[Nicol Bolas]

That was nifty.

I was kinda surprised by the big Void Ray-like beam that comes out of the Gantrithor though.

If there was one thing they could have done better, it would have been to have the Marine say something. He was just kinda... there. Oh, he looked cool, don't get me wrong. But it really felt like something should have been said there.

See?....that's how the BC should look.

I was thinking quite the opposite. This video reminded me how much I love the BC's look compared to the old one. Just compare how Yamato works. The old BC/this video? It's just a red bolt that fires from the front. The SC2 BC? It has all this nifty movement and stuff. It just makes for a more interesting model.

1) The beam - we know Tassadar razed planets. We know he flew the Ganthrithor and we know that supercarriers can wipe out squadrons of BC's - ergo the beams.

2) The BC's - obviously we were harkening back to the originals.

Here's the bit of lore from sc2.com:

However, a handful of heavily armed "super carriers" exist, most famously the Gantrithor. This was the flagship of Executor Tassadar when he led a protoss expeditionary force in its attempts to eradicate the zerg in terran space. The Gantrithor was powerful enough that it single-handedly defeated an entire terran battlecruiser squadron under the command of General Edmund Duke.
