StarCraft: Remastered - THE GHOST PROGRAM!

[@Lesquidliestone]

I always liked how instead of taking the place of one of the game's characters, you actually had your own character in Starcraft. "Cerebrate", "commander", "executor", the characters in the game would actually address YOU. Kerrigan thanks you for keeping her safe, Raynor asks you to come with him when he leaves Mengsk, etc. Super cool.

[@LowkoTV]

I really like that part so far too. It feels like I'm part of the story.

[@BudhaXIII]

Actually you are a crucial part of the story, they couldn't have done it without you. SC BW AI is abysmal :)

[@JkaaraKoDi]

I actually realized that this is the thing that last X-Com does too. Is it, Commanders?

[@bluumberry]

It's one of the reasons SC2's campaigns felt so bleh to me. You weren't part of the story anymore, just there along for the ride.

[@Vandreand]

And only the executor comes back (points if you figure out who he is in SC2)

[@DrVoodoo123]

So the entire mission takes place inside of a science vessel? My science vessels are roughly the size of 5 zerglings. I call hax.

[@jeffd6465]

Maybe this was just an extraordinarily large one? Lol - idk

[@wraithflaire1639]

DrVoodoo123 The are not to lore scale in game . Duh

[@Appletank8]

According to lore, Science Vessels are big enough to go "That's no moon"

[@dzalva1434]

They're actually LARGER than battlecruisers. FRIGGIN' BATTLECRUISERS!!!!

[@leonardogrillo4941]

dirkloechel.deviantart.com/art/Size-Comparison-Science-Fiction-Spaceships-398790051 Here there's the spaceship size comparison, there are a lot of spaceschip from many videogame/movie universes, there's also starcraft near the independence day spaceship.

[@petesake780]

Regarding the cutscenes, I'd argue that it isn't so much graphics as good cinematography that keeps them enjoyable to this day. The whole scene had a real hopeless, alien (the movie) like feel, from the numerous shadows, the rotating fans, the industrial background noise. All of SC1 has a dark atmosphere that reminds me of alien and fallout. Or perhaps more pertinently, the scifi grimdark warhammer 40k vibe, as I believe that's what sc started off as.

[@AnatoleMommeja]

Pete Sake yeah, too bad it evolved into "scifi heroic fantasy for teens". Still love SC2, tho.

[@LowkoTV]

Great point! The directing of all the short cutscenes is indeed very well done.

[@petesake780]

Anatole Momméja mmm, I do prefer the former, but I can't fault blizzard for pursuing what has been a winning formula. Warcraft, Starcraft, WoW, Overwatch and Hearthstone all share a sort of Pixar-like, feelgood, easy to digest artsyle, tone and fantasy, and I think it's actually what has helped them become so popular. Blizz games are sort of the defacto casual/disney company of games, and it seems to work.

[@DMBisAwesome]

It makes me wonder if the Blizzard dev team even bothered to play the SC1 campaign. I imagine that they reformed the SC2 team with mostly WoW developers, which explains the change in story and tone to resemble a WoW expansion. I'd also like to know whose idea it was to make Starcraft into a PG13 love story.

[@kurtpeterson9881]

Alien and Aliens is exactly what I was thinking. That end scene seemed like it was right out of Aliens. It's really great to see art propagate and influence different mediums.

[@quandoanzombie]

It's typical Lowko thing. Reading one ability then completely forget about it.

[@LowkoTV]

Classic Lowko.

[@tybofborg]

Just Lowko doing Lowko things :)

[@airiakizuki5592]

Consume i'm guessing? Sac your unit to recharge energy.

[@Dhurak57]

Love how they wanted the cutscene to have this horror movie vibe rather than pure sci fi type of thing

[@BoxStudioExecutive]

You mean they gave it the feel of the Alien movie? LOL

[@chmelar7111]

I was honestly afraid to play SC1 because of these cutscenes as a child :D. Zerg were really scary back then.

[@selwrynn6702]

Lowko never go into a fight then back off static defense just gets to hit you a bunch more. Also if you just killed the missile turrets the marines would no longer have detection and Kerrigan could've cleaned them up solo.

[@warriorwowful]

THANK YOU!

[@PandemoniumVice]

JUST KILL THE DETECTORS!!! THEY TAKE KERRIGAN LIKE 1 ATTACK!

[@zan831]

mate you dont understand. Theres the EASY way to do it. Then theres the Lowko way to do it. Game doesn't have a brutal difficulty? He makes his own

[@burryto3389]

Jesus!! I'm glad i wasn't the only one griping about this! I was yelling at my screen "KILL THE TURRETS GAH!!"

[@PandemoniumVice]

+Jesus Villarreal You'd almost think he'd never played a game of Starcraft (2) in his life. Cloaked Units and Detectors. It's really basic shit. And I'm sorry, but you can't blame the UI for that. I figured that shit out the first time I played it when it originally came out. I'd never touched another RTS in my life before Starcraft. I was like 12!!!

[@JokoCi]

What is the mini-map even there for , right :D

[@Kolt461]

I must warn you, the protoss dungeon crawl mission is one of the hardest (or most strenuous) missions in this damn game. When you hear the "I live for the swarm!", you will know fear.

[@Sbastjan]

Half the comments so far: "OMG how did you miss that?!" "OMG look at the mini-map!" "Use the abilities!" That's Lowko in a nutshell. Watching him play is so painful... Why can't I stop, though? Why do I keep coming back? WHY?!?!

[@alibimcjohnson6929]

I ask myself this every few videos.. but I keep coming back. I can't figure it out

[@paulocardenasmontoya4900]

Lowko you definitely will love the "protoss dungeon mission" its more complicated with lots of surprises

[@Santti1989]

My thoughts exactly! If this one proved to be a pain, then that one is going to be a lot of fun, indeed!

[@OpiatesAndTits]

If I watch him play that I swear I'll swallow a bullet...

[@lordplague3555]

That mission gave me nightmares as a kid, death around every corner

[@TheHalogen131]

Ah yeah. Battle on the Amerigo. One of the most frightening experiences for me when I was little and I was watching my dad playing Starcraft. Holy cow.

[@Deman_Dema]

Also FYI, unit on low ground have a hard time hitting unit on high ground in SC1.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

70% miss rate iirc

[@Dangen9]

I remember i used a lot the ability to burrow and wait for a while for the hit points to regen. My favourite tactic was to burrow the hydras and lings, lure the marines to them with kerrigan then unburrow. I usued this tactic a lot with siege tanks in other missions (unburrowing lings at the point were the tanks will siege up)

[@deerinheadlights32]

I just love this series.. its reminds me of my first starcraft days and game. and how i sucked so hard :-: Ty Lowko :D

[@Crusthide]

Been waiting for this. How you can keep yourself from playing it all faster,Lowko, i don't know

[@LowkoTV]

I'm uploading them as fast as I can. Keep in mind that I don't just play, but editing, rendering, thumbnails and everything else take up a lot of time too. Aiming for a new episode every 2nd or 3rd day right now. It's a solid pace!

[@rainv1695]

LowkoTV Good to know thanks for the fun content Lowko.

[@roboticrebel8153]

i challange you to finish all the campaigns before summer 2018

[@jeffd6465]

RoBOtic Rebel I'd watch every single video!

[@kevintran1488]

Man, i cant wait 2 or 3 days for an episode

[@arkontramps6470]

I explain you the Hotkey-problem. Every ability has his own hotkey, if you change it, it changed for every unit, that's no problem for normal units. But Kerrigan has abilities from multiple units, and if you have a template it could be, that the abilities of her has the same hotkey. No big deal for the campaign.

[@NeuGy]

that cinematic is still one of my favorites

[@fatbasterd5195]

watching this guy play is exhausting :))

[@fatbasterd5195]

Yup. I was screaming at my screen, "The turrets are detectors! The turrets are detectors! Hold the door! Hold the door! Holdodor! Holdodor! Hodor! Hodor!"

[@somedude4087]

When you are fighting with enemy try staying on high ground, if possible. ranged attacks against enemies on high ground has 50% to miss (this mechanic isn't existant in SC2) so use this to your advantage, and don't let enemy use it against you! (like this so he can see it)

[@mr.lithifcation7815]

That line "We're all dead, blow it, blow it!" still sends shivers down my spine

[@borec7469]

Please upload more of starcraft remastered! I love this series from you!

[@Davidh41690]

Best cut scene in the game. Really dig this old school play through. When Kerrigan talks about the old ghost programs she's referring to those of the Confederacy, the installation map being the inside of the science vessel. She unlocks storm after removing the old confederate dampers. This is the point in the campaign where you start hitting the Protoss... And don't stop. Would love to see a Hydralisk Guardian combo in the next mission.

[@MayorTrent]

So many times I wanted to say "Lowko, get the static defenses, they have detection :D "

[@thundersoul6795]

Lowko, you've gotta use your dungeon crawling part of the brain meats, not the one allocated for normal starcraft play, that one doesn't work. You _have_ to actually look around and not miss obvious beacons because you can't be bothered to look at the minimap and see a big ol' white marker near the imprisoned zerglings. Also you have to conserve units and not let them die just like that, they're _not_ expendable, just throw that thought out, they can't be replaced and their deaths will cost you. Also, this is what a Science Vessel looks like in its actual scale. Yes, those things that are shown like they're barely bigger than a Devourer.

[@tacitoconte]

I've waiting for this episode so many time because I stuck in the mission 6 of the Zerg campaign and I will use this video for orientation, thank you very much for this delicious one

[@tacitoconte]

God... There isn't the video who I was expecting ;-;

[@wraithflaire1639]

Tácito Conte listen up very immportant it will blow your mind. The zerlings are supposed to get criticality damaged and be devoured before they die the map was designed with that in mind.

[@tacitoconte]

Wraithflaire Thanks for the tip, pal

[@virus3x2]

Lowko. One thing you missed about this red hydralisk is the fact that it has 2 armor by default so 2+3 which makes marine attack do barely any damage. Later on there is special ultralisk too that is basically immune to marine fire.

[@justinthompson6364]

"Got your zerg right here!" *Gets stabbed in the face*

[@VX2hugo]

lowko didn't figure out all those detection are 1-shot kill...

[@Neometalll]

He never bothered to look at the stats of the units... Kerri does 50 base and the turrets have 50 hp... Oh well, at least we can laugh at him getting rekt by the 500 dmg infested terrans during the protoss campaing.

[@majdavlk649]

at 11:30 you could have used both of your hydralisk,just move the one that is outside a little bit to the left and up

[@deldalus]

Lowko, whenever you encounter something you can not comprehend, like "how can I open this door ?" or "where I should go ?" Please be sure to take a look on mini-map. Anything that not yours (aka. NPC colors) might be the key, especially those beacons which needed to activate many stuff in dungeon crawling style map.

[@Dantick09]

When I first played this I didn't understand English. Now all the briefings make sense lol

[@ITNODove]

It must be quite difficult to play this game without knowing the language.

[@acheron1449]

That cinematic at the end though... AMIRITE?

[@chipsinatube]

My favorite cut scene in SC1!!!

[@alkimalk2922]

This guy loves everything. :D Lowko the asshamster.

[@cillcamst2]

Lowko, start using god damn mini map, also learn to cloack.

[@darkonikolic4049]

Lowko, i know this comment is too late, but still zerg units can BURROW AND HEAL. Plus everything thay sead about detektors. Still fun to watch, nostalgia hits hard :-D

[@PhaxtolgiaLegacy]

Certain abilities such as cloak & decloak, siege & tank mode, and so on, are binded onto one key. That's just how Brood War works.

[@lonefish8128]

Lowko you are amazing keep it up andddd pls check the StarCraft mass recall when you finished the remastered version. Trust me maps and story and everything are the same but its like you are playing a whole new version of starcraft, plsssss but if you didn't you are still amazing and I love seeing your contents everyday

[@DinahLiddell]

We know the Zerg are fiction, but damn that cutscene made them feel so much more eerie compared to SC2. Even before Blizz added the new images to replace the black screen with text, the atmosphere had you imagining what it could have been instead of showing you everything, that's what made the game imo.

[@robertkhalesi7182]

You could have used Snare! I was screaming at the screen! But we love you Lowko!

[@Reskrox]

i always remembered that cutscene as that marine's head just spontaneously bursting out of nowhere, and i was trying to theorize what happened to the soda to make that head explode, my guess was zerg infestation

[@SomethingLog]

thank God for cold fusion

[@HpLyzeDeKiel]

SomethingElse Logaf Lets wax these critters boyys

[@jeffd6465]

"We're all dead, Blow it! BLOW IT!! (extreme fear) - death

[@markrl9963]

snopphaka They knew they were gonna die anyway so does it matter?

[@GldnClaw]

@@markrl9963 I got the impression there were two methods to blow it, they just had to pick the more drastic option.

[@mechanizedramen4181]

I have a question. The cerebrate you play as in Sc1 and broodwar never dies ingame. So why isnt the cerebrate you play as in Sc2? What happened to the cerebrate serving Kerrigan?

[@Appletank8]

Sitting in some corner of the galaxy playing cards with a zergling. Neither of them have hands. It is quite difficult.

[@mechanizedramen4181]

Appletank8 gg wp.......

[@najiru1984]

when overmind dies, all the cerebrate dies as well as they cannot survive without overmind.

[@mechanizedramen4181]

najiru1984 no....... in broodwar, the cerebrate is still alive. Even with the Overmind killed in Sc1. The Overmind in broodwar doesnt count as it is created by a fusion of mutiple cerebrates.

[@KietNguyen-lp1lv]

The DTs may have oliberated them after the Broodwar and(or) Kerrigan killed all of them to replace with her own Broodmothers

[@cbalinefourcba4615]

Again with the mini map. Check the thing in campaign mode too Lowko!!!

[@Rizso1]

Kerrigan model is very much updated :O

[@Santti1989]

That was a bit painful to watch, how you just ran past all the marines, without targeting the turrets. They were the ones with detection, after all, resulting in dead Kerrigan. :P But do keep them coming. :D

[@SquirrilahFish]

That was always my favorite cut scene.

[@katoblepas1234]

OMG Lowko look at the minimap, you could have use those reinforcements pretty easy

[@pedroprass106]

Could we just stop for a minute to realize how Overmind is the best character in SC1? I mean, hes pretty chill and relaxed for a Zerg god and actually treats his subjects better than the other 2 races

[@JAt0m]

Lowko you should try selecting one of the critters for like 500 times. They will blow up like a nuke.

[@anthonytrudel5221]

Fun fact: the science vessel cinematic at the end used to scare the shit out of me when i was a kid D:

[@shii3627]

7:56 It's a trap!!!

[@JL-ef7bh]

I remember seeing that guy scream when I was a kid. I find it funny.

[@nastykhan7746]

Hunter Killers are actually 4x more powerful than Hydras. Twice, because they do double damage and another twice, because they have double health. Oh, and don't forget extra armor.

[@ocean037]

I love how science vessels are detectors themselves, but you can be cloaked inside them haha.. btw I agree with almost ever comment here, lowko please! try to pay more attention to the game, maybe this game doesn't have a brutal difficulty mode, instead (like many old games), you have to figure out what to do and look around to discover useful information.

[@iainhansen1047]

RADIO FREE ZERG!

[@elnumbrotres]

Dude, you gotta pay attention to your map! You could see the prison lock (the giant white beacon in the bottom right corner). It’s painful af dude

[@Gredddfe]

Those cutscenes were from a time when Blizzard were more interested in making good games, rather than squeezing as much many out of DLC and lootcrates as they can.

[@towelie5127]

at least it wasnt as bad as my first attempt when i was 10 yrs old ...

[@OpiatesAndTits]

I mean at 10 stuff like pushing the command center closer to get better mining etc. Hes operated on knowledge from outside the game you wouldnt have. Whats stunning here is how he totally fails to pay attention the feedback the actual game is giving him. Its freakin stunning really.

[@travismontgomery1897]

My biggest question is: What's the true name of the "Cerebrate," "Commander," & "Executor" that we play as? Or am I being weird?

[@Trash_prince]

Love that cutscene

[@InfestedJM]

Im honestly quite shocked, that Lowko didnt play Starcraft before... thats.. weird.. for someone who is uploading so much StarCraft (II) content.

[@e.corellius4495]

well hes like what, 23, 24 years old? that means he was like 14 when sc2 came out, and only a we lad of maybe 4 years old when sc1 came out. he just wasnt old enough to have played it before. makes sense to me what would land in front of him first.

[@InfestedJM]

... and? Sry the age argument is fuckin invalid.

[@alyszra7804]

Age was quite valid here....Lowko said himself he didn't play it because his mom wouldn't let him buy it when it came out....he also got into other games when he got older so that prolly didn't help...

[@atrudokht]

Kerrigan's claw literally just like dark templar's psiblade (the damage)

[@estellebright2579]

Also I use Kerrigan storm more than cloak. I don’t bother hiding when I can just wreck everything.

[@CreatureOfTheVoid]

It would appear your one of those players that doesn't watch the minimap pings as you play, otherwise you would of had another 6 or more zerglings depending on how fast you took out the guards, cant wait to see how you handle the protoss missions tho, most likely with your normal over confidant and aggressive style, don't get me wrong it works for your most of the time but this game if you haven't played it before or in a while to remember all the traps will give you a good kick in the pants

[@Chenla]

Snare slows both Movement & Attack Speed, something which is not shown on the tooltip.

[@MegaAnno2]

which tooltip? :)

[@arkontramps6470]

it is not a significant decrease of the attack speed, not warth at all.

[@Chenla]

Against large groups of clumped up units it actually adds up a very high number.

[@brianmayabella5992]

also detect hidden units if caught on duration

[@Mammel248]

The Zerglings you get for missions like these are not to be used in combat. They are for Consume. Kerrigan here has that ability Consume right? What Consume does is: it regenerates 50 Energy (regardless of what unit you consume and what HP it has) but kills the unit you Consume. The Zerglings are there so you can use Kerrigans special abilities much more often (for example keep her cloaked for a loooooong time or to use Ensnare, which not only reduces movement speed but also attack speed).

[@Psychoangel-d23]

Really? i didnt use the consume skill at all and went through that just fine. with still 6 of the lings alive :D

[@Mammel248]

Yeah, it's especially handy in later missions when Kerrigan gets Psionic Storm. But Ensnare is quite overpowered as well, if you use it on stimmed rines/bats it completely negates the stim buff, that's why I love spamming it and I don't mind sacrificing lings to keep the energy up :D

[@e.corellius4495]

well thats the cool thing about sc1 and why its better than sc2, you can actually use completely different play styles and they are still valid and work just fine. sc2 on the other hand you basically have to do the same exact thing every single time just faster than the other guy if you want to win.

[@Gamer3172]

Lowko.. i love your videos but sometimes it is really a pain to watch you playing this 😂

[@brianchavez2829]

Did you know that you can beat this mission in less than ten minutes using only Kerrigan and the Hunter Killers? I did that just recently.

[@FBI-1987]

question though: why does Kerrigan have two sets of wings in the first game???

[@zerohunterx5]

You really need to keep an eye on your mini map. You get tunnel vision waaaay to easily

[@iXSIKOBOIXi]

Do you not look at the map? There was a pad where you could unlock the prison doors to get the Zerglings

[@iXSIKOBOIXi]

okay you found it, god that Triggered me and I've not played SC1

[@SKYYDenni]

Loooowkoo, you miss so many ramps. I can't stand it haha

[@SteffanBoodhoo]

Missed the celebrates they were cool

[@Daviesng007]

I hope your babysitting skills have improved the last 6 years, how many times did you get the Overminds daughter killed?🤣

[@jadenkhor]

Dear Lowko, can you quickly upload more videos of you progressing through Starcraft 1? I'm dying to watch your vids T.T pls have mercy on mehhhh

[@ethanhooper6183]

the last cut scene reminded me of the space hulk game

[@ugen3118]

pls, do more than one at a time

[@JoshuaBenitezNewOrleans]

Such a face palm at 9:30

[@parkjihoon394]

The cutscenes was sooooo copied from the scene in "Aliens" where Hicks looks up in the ceiling and sees a big ass swarm crawling on top of them

[@natanoj16]

They are not just zerglings. They are Zerg Zerglings ^^

[@aifakinkilyu]

Please, try and make this videos longeer!! nice vid btw :3

[@markushomanen2295]

Remember Burrow too Lowko ;)

[@calebmoore-verity]

I think the reason the graphics look good is because you're playing the version with remastered graphics. Originally they looked a lot more grimy

[@GoodGame-du4ps]

Hey lowko is the Cerebrate Abathur

[@trompell0]

Dab on the haters Lowko this series is fun to watch and who cares if you make mistakes on a single player sc1 mission..

[@TheAngryHippie]

Dat cut scene though....

[@wraithflaire1639]

The zerling a supposed to get criticality damaged and be devoured before they die.

[@tzoanast1061]

The Zerglings were called "Zerg Zergling" XD

[@deltazero7262]

can I point out they used the nuke container as a beer cooler.

[@nightknight8938]

How do i make hotkeys in sc1

[@ichselbst4798]

Guess he´ll never learn to use skills (or use mini map). Maybe it´d become too easy?

[@e.corellius4495]

to be fair, in sc2 that hes spent the last 7 years with, most abilities auto cast, and enemies are only ever in one huge blob so theres no need to ever use the mini-map. its not his fault he sucks here, its sc2's lol

[@tyfyh622]

omgf... LOKK AT GODDAMN MINIMAP!

[@Deman_Dema]

Can't you just look at the mini map? every little thing was showing on the mini map, and he ignore them all :P

[@estellebright2579]

AI will have some funny moments playing such campaign missions.

[@348joey]

Press the space bar!

[@francopoma2487]

Hey Lowko the ghost in the video looks like you so far xDD

[@mattor300]

Well u want good cinematicks check command and conquer series even older one and Has much better cinematicks and the plot is about same good as sc one

[@helmysartiles9974]

Watch the map plz. I love your content but man your getting me crazy thx

[@deviantan021]

9:20 are you fucking kidding me? there's a switch just to the right, you can see it on the minimap
