Ahhh Starcraft the game that started it all. Its amazing to see how far the graphics have come for this series between the original Starcraft and Starcraft 2.
@YourCRTube I have to honestly say, I can barely understand what you're saying. It's like I understand the gist of it, like how everyone understands stewie in family guy
@dtadeo2006 correct. The Protoess were doing a "no mercy" policy of cleaning. they didn't care about the terrans, only that there were zerg around. any ship or planet with zerg was in danger of being destroyed by the protoss.
Till these day ... I still don`t understand what this intro mean.....? A pirate ship try to take a vantage on wreck ship ...then they been kill by Protoss`s ship.... if that is Protoss`s ship... which unit is it...? Starcraft 2 mothership....? anybody please explain to me...
@HeavenXxX They're simple scavengers trying to make a little money from salvaging wrecked spaceships. It is both terran and protoss debris floating out there. Obviously a battle took place there. A passing protoss carrier (not mothership, they weren't around back then) found it best to just kill them. Can't figure out why exactly.
@Exverlobter Well, of course carriers in game have no laserbeams, it probably was the Ganthritor, you know, Tassadars Carrier. That had a laserbeam, it destroyed a confederate BC with it, and may explain its huge size.
@STarCRAFT4BRITS Nope. Actually, that's Chau Sara, and the Protoss fleet is there to scorch it and purify any Zerg infestation. The little Terran ship just happened to be in the way of the beam.
Damn how i wish they would have had subtitles for this, English isn't my native language and with my hearing impairment, I have a hard time understanding what they say in many of the old cutscenes..
I sure as hell hope they have optional subtitles for cutscenes in SC2.
@Gargantou They do have subtitles, at least for the in-game cut-scenes (which are high quality in my opinion). Not compeltely sure about the pre-rendered cinematics though.
With regards to this video, there's not really much going on though. It's pretty much all "small talk". They are scavengers on a scavenger ship that comes across this wreckage, and then they die :)
It took me about 10 years to realize this, but i think there's a plothole with the spanish speaking guy. In the backstory, it says that the UPL had wiped out all languages except english about 200 years before this, so yeah.... BTW, anyone know what he's saying?
@urnewgod The cinematics team mentioned in a commentary track that they had only the broadest of topics to make cutscenes from, because it took them a long time to make videos. Needless to say, they probably never got the note that there was only one Terran language. But having a mexican on the team makes them sound even more rednecky. :)
This time period in PC gaming really saw some amazing RTS games come one after another. StarCraft being the most prominent, with Total Annihilation before it and the lesser know but excellent Dark Reign as well.
@Escuderoam they didnt blow up the terrains. read the prequel story to starcaft - they wanted to burn the planet chau sara, which was infected by the zerg, this ship just happened to be in their way. protoss always "cleaned" the planets, grilling them with their shoop da whoop weapons.
I never gave it much thought until I read your comment. The discomfort you get from that Broodwar intro was likely the intended effect.
In many ways, that intro - the juxtaposition between the horrific images and the music - helps emphasize the horrors of war. This has been used to great effect in movies like Clockwork Orange, Apocalypse Now and Platoon - the latter two are essentially anti-war movies because they show the ugly side of war
I guess it's Blizzard's way of reminding you that even though you're playing a game, one shouldn't forget that it is war and what you're essentially simulating are the countless deaths of living beings. Gruesome if you think about it :D
Hey there starcraft fans! I just wanted to take the chance to invite you all to come play another great RTS game called Warcraft II, we provide a quick 15mb download of the game on our website and no cd or cd key is required to play on our online server.
The only other RTS released around the same time that was also very good was Total Annihilation, predecessor to Supreme Commander. (It came out in 1998)
Both Starcraft and Total Annihilation are my favorite RTS games...
It's funny, I never got into Starcraft the way I did Total Annihilation. I loved TA.
I remember various gaming sites, like C|Net Central back in the day, did comparisons between them and SC would come out on top, which drove me nuts, as I felt that TA was the superior, both on a technical/graphical basis (since it used 3D units and topology) and as a strategy game.
I need to reinstall Starcraft at some point and play through it. I have yet to finish the campaigns.
I totally agree - I liked TA"s technical aspects, huge maps, lots of units, and graphics, but I liked Starcraft's gameplay and storyline more. I think TA would've been much better with a real plot.
I have seen screenshots but at the time it was still in early development. So I haven't played it.
I enjoyed the more realistic aspect of TA's tactics. If I recall SC uses a kind of rock-paper-scissor strategy. TA used a more tactical approach - using artillery to soften defenses, airstrikes to destroy soft targets, etc... it was like a real-time grand strategy game. Great stuff!
But yes I agree, TA would have been great with a more solid story. That's where SC wins hands down.
yep pretty much. One of the things in SC that was revolutionary was the units were all totally different and so were the strategies required to play them.
TA has hundreds of awesome units, but the two sides are pretty similar and their units mimic each other.
@orochimaruisugly Haha I remember being in kindergarten in 2000 and playing this at my friends house on his older bros computer, with all the cheats on and thinking it was the greatest game of all time.
It's definately some kind of protoss ship. As to why it's not in the game - chalk it up to the artists' creativity. Also it's likely the game was still in the early stages when this cinematic was designed. Plus, there are other instances in the SC cinematics where units and/or vehicles do not conform 100% with those found in the core game.
One way of looking at it is thinking of the cinematics as a highly advanced form of concept art.
Tassadars Carrier. I read on a book once that the Gantrithor was the most unique carrier. It has several weapons at its disposal, apart from the interceptors. It has an armament that fires a beam similar to battlecruiser's yamato cannon and also a beam that is similar to mothership planetcracker, although much weaker
actualy your all wrong it wasnt the gantrithor, a mother ship, or carier it was a tempest ship of alderis's called the maxion. tempest are verry similar to cariers but with an extra wepon a phase ossilater that alows the warping of up to 10 fighters to go wherever you desire as long as you can plainly see the location.
wow.. 10 years and we still don't clearly know what the alien ship in the video is.. mothership is a new presumption since starcraft 2 ( I really doubt it is a mothership), protos carrier (with superweapon, or simply something removed from the game) could be.. some other unknown gigantic protos ship? .. meh sure why not.. a while back I kept thinking it's a Xel'Naga ship.. but now I say that's pretty ridiculous.. :-?? .. I'm sticking with carrier
I've read somewhere that that big blue protoss ship was supposed to be named "an Annihilator-class protoss vessel", they never planned it to be in the original starcraft game since it would be too big...too powerful.
Those redneck / mexican guys were supposed to represent the Terran ability to scavenge wreckages in the game for money, the developer team abandoned that idea and replaced it with the Terran buildings ability to hi-jack enemy add-ons.
I remeber playing this game. Last time i played it was only like 5-8 months ago. I can't wait until the star craft 2 comes out. I hate that blizzard is keeping us waiting since the game look like its ready to be release at least as a beta. There no excuse for not even having a approximate release date of the game since there been like 10 game videos.

noo, LMAO, when they fix the camera the second time and hes like wait i got it, then the scary music starts. LMAO, and it's like some kind of protoss looking thing.
someone help me. msg me on this. WTF IS THAT THING?! it can't be a DT cause DT's have two eyes and tape around their jaws. looks like a infested terran cause it has the helmet piece and armor but then again it looks like a really fucked up zealot. plus a dt does'nt have those spikes on their heads.
What the hell are you talking about man... what's a DT. You talking about the Mexican pilot? This was made before or right after the original concepts of the game - the things in it don't necessarily pertain to real people/units in the game.
Not to mention, the Protoss and Terrans naturally have a lot of things (aircraft, vehicles) not incorporated into the game, which focuses on them militarily.
Dude wtf u smoking? They never even THOUGHT about the mothership. this is sc man. Not sc2! They didnt even plan to make a sequel Yet when this came out. THINK before u post.
no it's a carrier. The motherships were decommissioned from the end of the Khala/ tribal wars after the Xel'Nagas departure to SC2. The motherships were docked and out of use. The game SC just has to remove some features from the units they portrayed to balance. Here's anothing thing: How do the Protoss, incinerate a zerg infested planet with out giant lazer beams? :P
At the beginning of Starcraft, the Protoss, with Tassadar's fleet glass the colonies of the terrans because they are already infested by the Zerg swarm (but terran are still unaware of this infestation).
And for Protoss doesn't matter if a lot of terrans die in this "purification".
Uh... Protoss don't hate Terrans dude, they tried to save their asses from the Swarm. Cause by glassing the planet the Protoss thought the Zerg wouldn't infest other Terran worlds. You know, killing a ceature in its egg so it can't reach eclosion? Well it' the point.
it mustave been an arbiter. and the terran ship must have been a dropship. i could be wrong. anyone out there from blizzard who can shed some light on this?
I love the depiction of the terrans , :)) like a bunch of rednecks , smoking all the time , yellin, listening to good ol' country music and basically not giving a shit :))
When I first got the game and saw the intro, it made no sense. In other words, I think the intro could use some work, but the gameplay was great, as was all of the other cutscenes.
What was the big ship? Protoss?

Yo then what was that terrian ship. I think that protoss ship was a mother ship. It has the same weapons.
Computer2142 2 years ago
wow.. 10 years and we still don't clearly know what the alien ship in the video is.. mothership is a new presumption since starcraft 2 ( I really doubt it is a mothership), protos carrier (with superweapon, or simply something removed from the game) could be.. some other unknown gigantic protos ship? .. meh sure why not.. a while back I kept thinking it's a Xel'Naga ship.. but now I say that's pretty ridiculous.. :-?? .. I'm sticking with carrier

Cinematics and actual gameplay tend to have units that aren't exactly the same.
Why they do that? Who knows.

I've read somewhere that that big blue protoss ship was supposed to be named "an Annihilator-class protoss vessel", they never planned it to be in the original starcraft game since it would be too big...too powerful.
Those redneck / mexican guys were supposed to represent the Terran ability to scavenge wreckages in the game for money, the developer team abandoned that idea and replaced it with the Terran buildings ability to hi-jack enemy add-ons.

thank you i was always a big protoss fan and i never recognized that ship from the game.
Newt0rz 2 years ago
It never was in the game, and the problem is... I don't remember where I read about the annihilator-class.
But yeah, I am a big Protoss fan, but I like the way the Zerg play,

I remeber playing this game. Last time i played it was only like 5-8 months ago. I can't wait until the star craft 2 comes out. I hate that blizzard is keeping us waiting since the game look like its ready to be release at least as a beta. There no excuse for not even having a approximate release date of the game since there been like 10 game videos.

someone help me. msg me on this. WTF IS THAT THING?! it can't be a DT cause DT's have two eyes and tape around their jaws. looks like a infested terran cause it has the helmet piece and armor but then again it looks like a really fucked up zealot. plus a dt does'nt have those spikes on their heads.
Rudekilla32 3 years ago
What the hell are you talking about man... what's a DT. You talking about the Mexican pilot? This was made before or right after the original concepts of the game - the things in it don't necessarily pertain to real people/units in the game.
Not to mention, the Protoss and Terrans naturally have a lot of things (aircraft, vehicles) not incorporated into the game, which focuses on them militarily.

The big blast is not from a carrier, it's from the mothership, seen in SC2.

from the mothership.

ur stupid
carrier first cant do that
nothing in sc can shoot like that
so its the mothership
iGuessillPutThis 3 years ago
no it's a carrier. The motherships were decommissioned from the end of the Khala/ tribal wars after the Xel'Nagas departure to SC2. The motherships were docked and out of use. The game SC just has to remove some features from the units they portrayed to balance. Here's anothing thing: How do the Protoss, incinerate a zerg infested planet with out giant lazer beams? :P

At the beginning of Starcraft, the Protoss, with Tassadar's fleet glass the colonies of the terrans because they are already infested by the Zerg swarm (but terran are still unaware of this infestation).
And for Protoss doesn't matter if a lot of terrans die in this "purification".

Why do protoss hate terran (I havent played much of the game)
ddesjman444 3 years ago
Uh... Protoss don't hate Terrans dude, they tried to save their asses from the Swarm. Cause by glassing the planet the Protoss thought the Zerg wouldn't infest other Terran worlds. You know, killing a ceature in its egg so it can't reach eclosion? Well it' the point.
But, um... they failed, so whatever lol

This intro does make sense if you know starcraft story that is beyond the story given in the game.

When I first got the game and saw the intro, it made no sense. In other words, I think the intro could use some work, but the gameplay was great, as was all of the other cutscenes.
