@GraveHorizon The frog-like thing is a "talking pet", a genetically modified Dynarri that translates for the Ur-Quan. The talking pet is translating for the Kohr-Ah.
These guys had to hide out in the cold frozen north to avoid their producers in order to finish this game, no joke. If that's not commitment I don't know what is.
@bluestreek004 Some sort of money drive would be more effective. Those game designers are still really funny and I've always got the impression they would prefer to work on a similar project. Gather the money, somehow and I'm sure it's possible to work out the details and get a remake or a real star control 2 sequel.
@elShoggotho Almost. The Kzer-Za, being Ur-Quan (in other words, not "threats", but "enemies"), are not cleansed, merely defeated. They are guarding the Sa-matra during the Kohr-Ah death march, and then the two subraces continue their way around the galaxy.
Huh... You know I was thinking... Ur-Quan are supposed to have extremely strong territorial instincts. I read that Kzer-Za Dreadnaughts only have 1 Ur-Quan aboard because if they meet another Ur-Quan they'll fight to the death because of their instincts, so they have a bunch of battle thrall crew. How about for the Kohr-Ah??? Obviously THEIR vessels would have no non-Ur-Quan crew. Do they have better control over their killer instinct or what?
To make a movie that encompasses the Star Control 2 universe would require quite a long movie...
This is just one part of the story. The entire thing is a huge tapestry of political and racial intrigue. Very awesome. The game is free to download and free to play, if you're interested in it I suggest you give it a shot. This is simply the best game I have ever played.
....the part of the story that stands out the most for me is when the Melnorme race explains that after the bloody Doctrinal War ends, the split Ur-Quan races agreed to head in opposite directions across the galaxy, encircling it only to confront one another again at the opposite side of the galaxy millenia later for a final showdown with both races amassed fleets & armadas!!!
For those who may not know, that talking brain pet you see there is the once powerful Dynaari, who enlaved the Ur-Quan through mind control long ago, yet now the tables have turned and the Ur-Quan enlave them and use them as mere translators.
Just asking, would anyone disagree that this game kicks the shit out of most of the games out now for the 3 systems? This is one of my favorite games of all time. As you just proven the voice acting is great and the story is well writen
@SVDDragunov83 There's a game for the Nintendo DS called "Infinite Space" which strongly reminds me of this game. As a huge fan of SC2, I'd probably buy a DS just to play Infinite Space! You should give it a look.
Well I wouldn't agree the voice acting is necessarily great (although the Kohr-Ah is one of the ones that IS great, along with the Ilwrath.) Otherwise I fully agree though. It's my favourite game too.
Just the talky version has some pretty so-so voices here and there. (Like the Spathi... I love the Spathi, but their voice... ugh.)
Whenever I listen to the Kohr-Ah speak, I can't help but feel a little bit pf sympathy for them. There's a lote more emotion to their words than the Kzer-Za seem capable of.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah: Another name for shinigami. Anyways, I am off to annihilate some Kohr-Ah with my deadly single Spathi Eluder (10 Kohr-Ah in a row blown up so far). By the way, the Kohr-Ah ships are way better than the Kzer-Za ships any day of the week. Kohr-Ah must be outnumbered. In an evenly matched war, Kohr-Ah would win hands-down for their deadlier weapons. But don't get me wrong, if Kzer-Za have better pilots, they could win too. But all else being the same, Kohr-Ah would win.
Every time I bump into an Ur-Quan ship I always hope I can somehow get them to be my ally, but I never can :(
The Ur-Quan are just so awesome, I wonder if there are real Ur-Quan aliens somewhere in the universe (or atleast an alien race that's identical). Although that wouldn't be too good for the human race I think.
"We are the Ur-Quan Khor-Ah. Our faith, the fullfillment of our destiny, requires your destruction. You will now die. Perform whatever rituals are necessary for your species preceding death. You are filth. We shall cleanse."
The Ur-Quan Khor-Ah are pretty much the most bad ass space evils of all times. The idea that, if told just the right combination of words, they'd sit down, have a nice chat, simply seems out of character for them. And you don't get out of fighting them anyways. Stupid.
You are wrong. The Ur-Quan are extremely intelligent as a species. The black Ur-Quan are no different except that they are predisposed to their kinetic tendencies. They still have all the sophistication of their ancient hunter-warrior bloodline. There is a certain generosity one will tend to demonstrate in circumstances where novelty is bound to go underappreciated. Since they consider their prey unworthy, this challenge offers a chance to present a testament to themselves greater than victory
alone would allow for. They enjoy victory twice in defeating their opponents to justify a legacy they have related in advance of destroying them. It is a profoundly philsophical act to relate the story and then to proceed accordingly to "cleanse the filth." Their defeat at the hands of the 'filth,' or 'threat,' better yet, is unanticipated. If you died at the hands of the Kohr-Ah, not only would relating their story first be profound, but also prove elegant in terms of their victory over you.
The Kohr-Ah are a consumate warrior race and the fact that when challenged to explain their Doctrine they will stop to describe it to their prey is the most noble and endearing aspect of what is otherwise a xenocidal and murderous culture.
I like the voice of Kohr-Ah more than the voice of Kzer-Za! But Ur-Quan Dreadnought is my favorite starship! I like his heavy weapon and the Dreadnought is large, beautiful and maybe fast(i'm not sure for the last) more than the Marauder according me! And the victory hymn of the green is AWESOME!!!
In fact the story they tell is .. logical enough to give them a reason to "cleanse". As the Kohr-Ah said, "Can you imagine what it feels like to feel screaming pain to month's end? No, you cannot."
They've suffered a lot ... A LOT. They're just bitter. Wonder if I could have just given them cookies.
They were also genetically manipulated by the evil Dynarri. That's a good reason for being pisseds off!
The Ur-Quan are not outright evil. They are just extremely paranoid and self-serving. The Kzer-Za are just lesser jerks. Give me a slave shield over being a thrall, or "cleansing".
This is the greatest game ever made. Creativity on this level has ceased to exist :(
