Starcraft cinematics 4/4

[OutrageSC]

@henraisse The Hybrids were made by the Xel Naga, probably wont work maybe

[mattcrowone]

when they shot that dead guy in space the same thing happend in star trek

[henraisse]

why arent the protoss utilizing this temple when having their last stand against the hybrids? shouldn't be very hard to win when you have your own planet cleaning tool.

[umbrella12]

2:32...FUCKING RUUUUUUUN

[umbrella12]

0:32.. fuck who will mess with taht freacking army of bc?

[ejkddorai]

What happened to the four medics I sent to the Overmind? lol

[MrRuufs]

artanis now flies a mothership lol

[thatswhatshesaiddude]

lol 1:45 ... Stukov was minus two months old when he died??? Wtf xD

Also, Anyone know what 'GD' is?

[G3n3ralLo]

@thatswhatshesaiddude i assume its Galactic Date or something like that, i read the dates too, what gives with that? XD Blizzard's kind of joke?

[xXThexXxniNEXx]

Lol at the starship troopers easter egg cinamatic.

[Lydings]

after watching to all of those videos, i remember the whole story, aswell i played it years ago

starcraft just stand in my mind, it's impossible to forget it because it's still one of the best game ever <3

[kashpc]

Give some Mcdonald's lovin' to the Protoss pronto!

[CrimsonJagwire]

Poor Stukov.....He was my favorite starcraft charecter....Him, Kerrigan, and Raynor...

Now stukov is a giant black bar of soap...That will forever float in space...

[aquanaut145]

Compare the Zerg attack of the Xel Naga temple vs the Hybrid attack on the Protoss. Who would win? ^^

[Nouw001]

Lol cutscene 1 is the ending of Starship Troopers.

[schumickthegreat]

this is like a mix of avp and starship troopers

[Chaosarmy]

this is just like starship troopers

[saligari666]

@Chaosarmy when starship troopers was being made starcraft was in development reaching relase date,if you want to blame starcraft for riping of an other franchise try warhammer,but still we love starcraft,its the vg ever

[shadowtygo]

@saligari666 and it's also better than warhammer.

[saligari666]

@shadowtygo i dont know,ive never played the actual warhammer with the minatures,its better than the wh vg for sure

[shadowtygo]

@saligari666 the tabletop game looks cool but the video games uninteresting too me they don't look very fun.

[saligari666]

@shadowtygo i agree the tabletop game is cool but it takes toons of money and time to play it so i pass,the vg were midiocre or bad

[ZenniaJorra]

The Protoss sure were more wiry looking in the first StarCraft...

[pkermage55]

1:36 is this Starcraft or Star Trek?

[msakallioglu]

@Fetcha200 lol i think that counter is defective. :D

[msakallioglu]

My favorite hero is Artanis man no questions asked... Coolest dude ever...

[DecoThe0ne]

ethiopians send artanis and his family 25 cents a day so that they wont starve. we all need to start donating.

[troglodyto]

i don't get what happened around the 5 min mark.. did that protoss destroy the earth?

[LukeAlto2007]

@troglodyto I think it was the Protoss activating a Xel'naga temple to purge all the Zerg from Shakuras.

[BobbyfromPepper]

Good to know that the news will still be cheesy propaganda hundreds of years into the future.

[armyaviationproud]

@BobbyfromPepper watching it kind of reminds me of that movie starship troopers...which was definitely cheesy

[Leathertoast]

Since when was Captain Qwark a Terran TV announcer?

[LashofPain666]

Protoss are pretty good at aoe farming...

[Venezuelangel]

Where is the "dearest helena" bit?

[Comzpletes]

*Enter* poweroverwhelming *Enter* WHAT THE FU- BOOOOM!!!

[slayermate07]

the first cinematic feels like starship troopers

[WLuico]

0:03

Protoss early phoenix design

[KeViNZP]

Wait.... Where is "The Acesion" scene?????

[Joe22c]

Oh God this gives me the urge to start playing Starcraft...again.

[R4Akai]

This endscene is so bad.

A giant flylamp lol

[KHkevin45]

Uuuhhhh.... If I am not mistaken, from reading (in my opinion), wasn't the 'earth' (the 1 we live on in real life), destroyed and the remnants were the colonies of which are the confederates, korhals, and etc. lived in seperation due to political views? I dont really know but this was good to see again aftr so long :D

[KeViNZP]

@KHkevin45 Where did you read? I want to know.. Show me a link if it's in the internet... And, if so, I don't think whatever was in any of these vids were Earth, it could've been Tarsonis....

[KHkevin45]

@KeViNZP Oh ok, I just reviewed my 'wiki' source (surprise surprise xD) and found out that I must have misinterpreted some information, I thought that Earth was destroyed from its own national conflicts and it had to send out colony ships to continue on the human race, but that's not the case, so my mistake xD Plus, I thought the UED was a remnant of Earth's fleets trying to conquer the colonies for their own future, pls dont blame me, I was 6 when I first played this game on nintendo xD

[KeViNZP]

@KHkevin45 I played this when I was still in grade 3... and what do you know.. I still play a very very very old version... one from 1997 if I'm not mistaken... So I also lack info of the full story on this one...

[TacTiCOrc]

except the fact that it was made before Starship Troopers... lol

[charleshoskinson]

@TacTiCOrc other way around. 1997 was starship troopers. This was 1998

[esponert105]

we really need that cloning technology. b4 the invasion!!

[dawsonoo7]

artanis looks so young

[Wiwanko]

Wenn das nicht an "Starship Troopers" erinnert = )

[fk4n]

feels like starship trooper

[jelsaipo]

It was meant to be a parody of it actually.

[SuperAdjudant]

Judicator Aldaris is the best!!!!!!

[SuperAdjudant]

RIP Alexei Stukov

[CreatureMontage]

RIP STUKOV

[Arch3on]

so... wheres the rest of the cinematics?

[Ruo94]

BUT zerg still rules in the multiplayer place XD

[AuLMcJean]

Protoss Rlz!

[DeathDealingDinosaur]

En taro Tassadar

[19abaddon88]

protoss rules! my life for aiur!

[Sushistrength]

Did the UED count those deaths? Protoss industrial centers and entire planets fall with almost no relation to the storyline? What happened to the Terran Dominion, did they just disappear? Why did the protoss use so much energy destroying a salvage ship in 1/4? Where does the UED's resources come from? How come space ship hulls blow open and they can breathe without their helmets on? Alexei didn't know he was sacrificing anything right before he died?

[Odrakus]

3) The acronym "UED" stands for United Earth Directorate, so, well... Their resources would most likely come from their place of origin, which is Earth. Also, it should be noted that one of the first missions in the UED campaign comprises a raid on a Dominion shipyard, stealing battlecruisers in drydock, which has to count for something, I suppose.

[Odrakus]

4) Well, never had time to check my sources on this one, but if memory serves, wasn't Chau Sara (a planet which due to its zerg infestation was condemned to a planetary purging by the Protoss) beneath the ship? If not, It has me curious too, perhaps a show of force?

[Odrakus]

5) If you are referring to the status of the Terran Dominion thus far (at the start of Starcraft 2), I believe official sources say that it's running strong under Mengsk, having licked his wounds and consolidated his position as the major terran faction since the Brood Wars.

[Odrakus]

6) I'm not quite sure I follow, to be frank. Please, do elaborate.

[Odrakus]

7) During any conflict, it makes sense for your faction to keep tally on confirmed kills (and especially casualties), so even though the numbers probably are exaggerated (this being, after all, biased propaganda) and rough (it can be difficult to ascertain good confirmations when you like to use weapons like nukes and artillery...) I'd say it's a safe bet that yes, the UED would have a kill-count on how many confirmed kills they've acquired during the campaign against the Zerg.

[CrveniGavran]

hey, im taking map requests, anyone got any requests? (PM ME IF YOU DO)

[robbyperez]

like a dota map... or sheep vs rabbits map... or trench warfare... or maybe custom hero arena... or maybe do a Napleon campaign... nvmd I'll just stick to wc3...

[Odrakus]

2) Not that I find myself an expert in the matter, but this would either be subject to:

a) With it being rather a large ship, and not all of it being destroyed immediately, there either would have been enough time to breathe a few times due to the oxigen not being able to -instantly- escape or there most definitely would be preassure seals throughout the vessel. ...you don't want a single leak caused by bumping into some minor debris to compromise the chip now, right? or b) Rule of Cool

[Agent1W]

Stukov did not like that! Man, that propaganda is sickening!

[S4LAm4ndr]

how do the protoss eat?

[IronChicken100]

they dont, they get nutrients from the sun starts a moon

[TheMrJuvete]

Maibye thei don't need food like us...terrans xD

[S4LAm4ndr]

Who says im a terran >:)

[TheMrJuvete]

you are a zerg? :))

[S4LAm4ndr]

>:)

[jokacho]

@S4LAm4ndr they don't. It's all on their minds...and of course, minerals XD!

[SteelWool91]

IM DOING MY PART TOO! *soldiers laugh*

[Gridlock471]

I wonder what jim raynor was doing during this..

[IronChicken100]

he was on the home planet of the protoss where i think he died when the zerg attacked it

[Klloud1]

Really? its fictional? Thank god! i was boarding up my house and getting ready to *clears his throat* "Rock and ROLL!"

[whiterhino024]

haha.

[ara0474]

the fury of xel naga temple

[endlsswing]

1:08 "losses were tallied in the millions"

either the commentator is understating or that counter is overly optimistic

[armyaviationproud]

@endlsswing lol. i saw that too. it was over 1 billion...with a b....on the counter

[Gigatone00]

@endlsswing Did i say millions?!?!?!... err i meant billions.

[krnboy1009]

@endlsswing its possible, zerglings come cheap and in mass

[AlexDiscoBall]

that bastard destroyed earth >:(

[Psykoged]

Blizzard is very easily "inspired" by other stories..

[Vocet57]

I think (and hope) that it was meant like a "parody" or a funny compliment, not an inspiration

[Majr0]

Starship Troopers is also thought to have influenced numerous computer and tabletop games, including Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Tribes, and Tribes 2, Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri, Halo, Warhammer 40,000, and StarCraft.

Starship Troopers is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, first published as a serial in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (November 1959, as "Starship Soldier") and published hardcover in 1959.

Wikipedia rules!

[milenioscuro]

where's the ZERG cinematic ? ._.

[dinocha0s]

zzz u have no sense of imagination how do u think aliens look like if not like zerg? like those long headed things in star wars?-.-

[hl2og]

They can look like anything.. it has been proven that life can take the shape of things that we cant even imagione... maybe air itself is an alien life.. who knows...

[colbyl321]

Zeratul better never died Fenix better gett ressurected :)

[7aChAry8]

zeratul is alive, idk about fenix

[blackshade9]

Fenix is dead.

[TC7894]

actually, he is alive, and was turned into a Dragoon

[blackshade9]

Yea, then Kerrigan killed him.

Poor bastard had to die twice.

[HengHo123]

ROLF

[blackshade9]

Blizzard has it out for him. Maybe they'll bring him back as an Immortal in SC2 then have him devoured by the Zerg.

[XXXDDDXXXPPP]

the first cinematic reminded me of the ending to Starship Troopers

[henryjune14]

i cried at the mission when you have to kill Fenix. . .

[entar925]

the protoss without the shiny armor remind me of mudokons from oddworld for some reason

[cpaslapeine]

I wander what kind of drugs they had to pump into the Supermind to control it.That thing is like a city in itself.

[balbaldoodoo]

0:47 Zergs invaded Saturn rofl?

Never knew something lives there.

[dinocha0s]

lol the zerg r highly adaptable they can live pretty much anywhere(i mean cmon they can breath w/o oxygen tanks lol)

[milenioscuro]

if they invaded a lava planet, why not a gas planet ? jejeje

[zedator]

Prottos speak by using telepathy, but I wonder, what about eating (touching the freaking pylons or something). How would they kiss?? And the million dollar question, how do they do erm, well, they cant do much of oral stuff u know what i mean?

[charleshoskinson]

@zedator there's a crystal for that

[apatabum]

the beginning reminds me of starship troopers

[KingRaffers]

Can someone please tell me what the hell does GD mean?

[legeartis83]

haha they call it earth...

[osmarchito]

where os the last cinematic the assension i think it was called

[sauroxD]

esta de la refurinfunflay

[lame00000000]

is this and the later part in part 3 the extension package?

[Alphalance]

What?! Where are the rest of the zerg cinematics?

[Kytota]

Yeah, Protoss may be the most advanced but the units are too damn expensive and long to build. Terrans are the best balance, just right in price and full of awesome firepower. A skilled Terran player would be very dangerous, especially when the Terrans have a good combination of ground and air units. When Starcraft 2 comes, the Terrans will still be the best to use!

[Alphalance]

we can't be sure about that till it comes out

[crazy4kimchidude]

The best pro gamers of StarCraft are usually

Korean.

And yes it is true Terrans can be VERY deadly

But the proffessionals such as

Oops_Reach is better than Slayers_BoXer which is a terran

well not way better but THey are both awesome and you can see that Protoss can be VERY　VERY deadly too!!!

[HANNIBAL37ro]

I`m with you...terrans rule!!

[AXdogg13]

protoss own the zerg and terran for sure ...i mean DAMN! talk about advanced alien specie

[nordicberserk]

The voice on that newscast was a real propaganda voice, lol

[nordicberserk]

How do they eat though?

[sean6201]

terran cinematic reminds me of Starship Troopers lol. I think the SC director was influenced by the movie

[osmarchito]

yea me too since the movie was release in 1997 and sc in 1998 probly yea

[movienaut]

hey, where is zerg ending. you really forgot alot dude.

[Frebojo]

oddly, some protoss look like they have duck bills

[nincompoople]

LOOOOOOOOOOL i see that sometimes too when i look at artanis BUT if u imagine it like a human head but with no mouth then it makes much more sense

[halabalo195]

ehm...what?!

[ELCondeVampichoco]

i agree with him

[lolimauser]

odd... how the terran are so technologically advanced yet... their commercial (or news i suppose) remind me of those funny quirky advertisements in the 1950's lol

[Davuthzor]

in time of war, propaganda is needed

[Spartan2020]

the third video with the temple is how i actually ended it

i mean that my plane was actually the only one that could retreat since my other soldiers...Got killed from alot of the evolved forms of hydras

[thabiznes]

4:33 owned

[CaCSouthPark]

Mann the UED was the only good guys in BroodWar

(Protos were Neutral)

[7956337]

Artanis is so god damn fugly

[thabiznes]

They communicate using telepathy

[2Hitsugaya2]

hmmm this really look like starship trooper

[stubert311]

this and aliens are based on starship troopers

[orest1s94]

starship troopers are based on this Muhahaha

[R4Akai]

@orest1s94 i think alien vs predator comes far closer than ST.

think about it - 3 races

human

alien monster

technologic alien

[Wazabo41]

@orest1s94

Starship trooper is a book and a pretty old one.

[orest1s94]

@Wazabo41 heh. after 1 year you think i haven't found that out? :P god i feel stupit for saying things i don't even really know much about.

[beastlair]

the terrans video news reminds me of starship troopers.

[MaskedDominon]

Same.. though I though StarCraft came out first..I could be very wrong.

[Weasel4034]

No, just the Xel'Naga

[KorgothTheDestroyer]

He was saying that the Xel'Naga created the toss too. And he was right.

[PullMyTriggerOK]

wtf happened to the zerg cenematic

[craze231]

sons of korhal

[nogooder]

terran marines always get it. such a pitty that man created the zergs.

does anybody know what's mengsk's army's called?

[Shendrag]

Sons of Korhal I think

[starsiegeRoks]

i think its called the dominion

[layssyal]

the protoss are the best one zealot could kill a marine in a second and a zerglin in less

long live protoss

[Defuret]

Thats what we call overpowering crap...

[akirechan99]

well they were the perfect creation you know...i agree with you, protoss rocks. terran and zerg rely on numbers to even up the battle field but the protoss...pure talent man...pure sKILL!

[Spartan2020]

that and a shield

[Marinealver]

actualy the Xel Naga Temple came before the UEN propoganda video.

[NinjaBurglar]

death to korhal!

[VandreadXY]

je me hizo acordar algunos recuerdo de chibolo xD

[spkillerzX]

i dont like how do zeratul looks, it looks way cooler hide in shadows ^^

btw, look how artanis looks, and compare it to when fenix die first time, looks like both want to cry :'(

[openeed]

"Would you like to know more?.."

Starship troopers had a big influence on Brood War I would think.

[Christopherziegler]

Well, Starship troopers was a "Filmatic" of Starcraft, Starcraft was the brite idea for Starship Troopers..

[stefanfun]

the original novel starship troopers is from the fifties and had influence on about 50% of all science fiction ever made. It inspired warhammer40k that inspired starcraft.

[Christopherziegler]

Arh, never read the original novel.. guess your right then :) ...

[Persiana]

But yesh, when I saw Starship Troopers (I think it was called Invasion in here) The first thing I thought was of Starcraft. No protoss, but hey, the cinematics were almost exactly.

[hamisharn]

yeah you can see the star shipp troopers influence in the terran news.

[hamisharn]

maybe not 50% of all science fiction, there was h.g. wells war of the worlds which was written atleast 50 years before starship troopers.

[KillswitchFrk]

only reason zerg losses were in the millions is b/c theres billions of zerg...its that false advertising stuff ya know?

[BendixX69]

lol at terran propaganda xDDDD

it's just like the mid 40's world war propaganda

[Rhenaya]

just like humans ;)

[lulle103]

Often in sci-fi movies/games, there is one spicie who is religieus and can use the "fore", and one spisie who is just a primitive mosnter using them selfs a a wepon, and there is the human who uses the "cold iron-tecnoligy"(like the terrans(robots)). SC makes a perfect mix of them, SC OWNS WOW!!!

Can`t wait for the 2:nd!
