StarCraft - All cinematics

[@TheYoungWolfI]

I liked StarCraft 2. But StarCraft and Brood War are beyond classic. Masterpiece.

[@Ima184mm]

Yes and I want them they have to release remastered.

[@limeangelo6019]

As much as i love starcraft 2, i gotta say its writing is actual laziness, sc1's writing was actual kino in comparison, when you see arthur mengsk for example you realize how moving his speeches are and why was he even able to get people on his side in the first place, and then in sc2 he's just some evil space dictator 1984 space fashie allegory that nobody likes all of a sudden and nobody has any clue how he got to power in the first place. its so ass.

[@Muck006]

@@limeangelo6019 Yes ... AND no one seems to understand that Blizzard actually DESTROYED what Starcraft was in SC2, when they included "perfect unit movement" AND "unlimited control groups". This adds up to ULTIMATE DENSITY OF DAMAGE (a TIGHT blob of Marines), which gives the attacker the advantage and thus only "trained Koreans" can play it well enough. With Brood Wars you could play BGH with your friends of different skill levels without one of them roflstomping everyone else.

[@CP-jk3tc]

The only thing SC2 good at is the graphic. Blizzard abandoned this serious dark sci-fi for some pathetic space love story.

Dark is not inherently realistic. Fuck off with this meme that needs to die.

[@diamondmetal3062]

Starcraft 1 was not that dark or realistic, it just used a more antiquated CGI that gave the illusion of a gritty appearance.

[@bobbyferg9173]

Even though Starcraft 1 cutscenes obviously don't have the greatest animation, they still are able to effectively express a variety of feelings. Whether it is the unsettling nature of the terrifying Zerg, the triumphant and often overwhelming power of the Protoss, or often times just good comedy for the Terran; the cutscenes are memorable and achieve the desired effect despite limitations. It is clear that even then Blizzard were masters at making cutscenes.

[@josephlee3740]

I really enjoyed how they added the in game sounds to the cut scenes in SC1

[@zelda_smile]

[@tohopes]

it's cause everyone has seen plenty of films of humans with guns being OP, aliens are more impressive

[@valentinom.4292]

Just like in the game, their force is in their numbers.

[@joshuakim5240]

To be fair, each marine attack in-game is a volley of shots (if going by sound, then 6-8 shots per attack), and their guns are .50 caliber rounds fired from electromagnetically propelled railgun rifles. This means that you need 40-50 rounds of a weapon that can probably shred apart current era tanks to kill ONE Zergling, so the Zerg are in fact ludicrously OP and made even more so by their mass numbers.

[@sciarpecyril]

@@joshuakim5240 , actually C-14 Impaler rifle uses 8 mm needle-like ammo. With hypersonic velocity of 6M one round possesses 39551.66 J of kinetic energy which is above AMR's 14.5x114 mm round. It's too little to harm tanks, but can turn some APC into swiss cheese and make a red jelly from organic substances. So what's my point? It is that the authors clearly do not understand the real capabilities of the weapons they described and unable to show their effect correctly.

[@micropocari1604]

MEMORIES! :D Starcraft was my first game, played it when i was like, 3 years old! the game was so mysterious, I had trouble understanding everything but the game felt more like an exploration adventure to me. which is why it took like a day or two for me to successfully beat a single campaign map, even with cheats on, I was always too scared about what i might encounter.

[@phoimer]

you didn't play starcraft when u was 3 years old..

[@micropocari1604]

After some time, maybe a few days, I logged in and played many games. I remember some; Bubble Bobble world, Pacman adventures in time, Fianl Fantasy and, Best of all! Starcraft! :D I grew attached to starcraft because I knew the game had more to it and like i mentioned, I sucked at it XD

@Jakub Bończak Let's hope we advance techonolically with no harm to our own World. Look at China, they progress, but they ravage Earth. And like you, i hope we don't end up as an unified world. Most of the time unification means erasing cultures, races, thoughts, plus, as you said, no competition, no progress.

[@valentinom.4292]

@Jakub Bończak Yes! I'm latino! Soy Argentino, y si, entiendo tu punto de vista. Mí opinión sobre occidente no es muy favorable. Inglaterra y sobre todo Estados Unidos le han hecho daño a mí país incontables veces, por eso no veo con buenos ojos las "guerras" por la "democracia", cuando es obvio que no son más que para mantener un monopolio económico. En cuanto a la religión: no soy religioso personalmente, pero siempre me pareció que la religión es una gran herramienta para mantener la fé y la esperanza en la gente, pero personalmente creo firmemente en la separación de estado y religión. I'm a proud Latino! I love my continent and people. Pardon my ignorance, but do polish people consider themselves slavs?

[@valentinom.4292]

@Jakub Bończak Respeto a todas las naciones eslavas, ya que todas tienen una historia muy sangrienta y sufrida, son gente fuerte! Sobrevivieron muchas tragedias. El feminismo está creciendo en Argentina, y realmente no es algo que me moleste, siento que mucha gente lo ve como una especie de "mal" cuando realmente no hace casi ningún daño (quizá si si tenés una visión del mundo más conservadora como quizá usted tenga, lo cual entiendo). El comunismo en Argentina es un chiste, no existe. A los comunistas (modernos) los veo como gente que quizá desea hacer el bien, lograr una utopía, pero que traen mucha confusión encima, no los veo como gente mala. Entiendo que quizá ustedes los eslavos si vean al comunismo con otros ojos debido a todo lo que los ha hecho sufrir a lo largo de la historia.

masterman3211 The Earth fleet (UED) was sent to the Koprulu sector to claim the human colonies in the name of humanity, to pacify the zerg and to stop the protoss interference. They succeed up to a point until infested Kerrigan makes an unlikely alliance with Raynor, Mengsk and the Protoss to bring down the UED. She does so by betraying and defeating everyone at the end of Brood War. Starcraft II came along and pissed all over the original story with mushy-mushy love story that never was in the original game, inconsistent and stupid characters and a storyline resembling that of Warcraft III where instead of the Burning Legion we have the Dark Voice in the Void threatening to Kil'Jaeden everyone. :))

It's a damn shame that Blizzard lost so much of their magic. I like the dark tone to Starcraft 1 and Brood War, which had a serious, mature and adult story-line. SC2's campaign is so damn different and the story is much more shallow. I did not believe that Blizzard produced it. The characters were as flat as cardboard and they ruined the series by turning it into a corny love story. The mission briefings didn't have the the strong dialogue in that of Brood War's. The characters in Brood War were well-spoken people and sounded like they were in Greek epic or something. Raynor just met Kerrigan when he joined the Sons of Korhal. He wasn't that attached to Kerrigan. Maybe Blizzard couldn't think of a better way to continue the story. They worked hard on SC2 but its campaign just doesn't match up to the glory days. I think they should make a SC1 and BW anniversary with better graphics and more high quality cut scenes, but without removing the things that made SC1 epic - the dialogue, the dark tone to the story and the serious, life-like characters without all the junk that made Starcraft 2's campaign shallow and childish.

Tom Cat Keep telling yourself that, must be you're either too nostalgic at heart or just not invested enough in the current gaming scene to know that the jewels of this era in gaming excel at everything old games just weren't ready for yet. Mechanics are better, production value has went way up, visuals are better, communities grow larger, bigger multiplayer (bigger everything actually) and most narratives are awesome, you just need to avoid the corny, cheesy, crappy AAA storywriting and -telling if you find story really important. Shit's real good nowadays, you just need to get over all the good times you had playing the old stuff, it's not always as amazing as you make it up to be.

[@tomcat1517]

Karel Van Daele I guess I'm being nostalgic but the feeling remains. I think the same about movies, animes and mangas.. Especially about mangas, my favourite ones date back to the 90's or even earlier. The reason might be that I grew up with that stuff, so watching and comparing the various masterpieces all around brings back old memories. I don't know but that feeling of surprise and wonder is not the same. I can bring u some examples, like "The Fifth Element" or "The Terminator". There is a scene in the first movie I mentioned, where the Diva sings and u can see planet Earth in the background. It was simple, yet beautiful, and I'm not the only one saying that. I played all the Starcraft games, but the first ones cannot be beaten in my opinion. I'm not talking about the graphics, the visuals and the communities, cause of course, this battle will be won by the recent games. I'm talking about something I can't find anymore and that I can't explain properly (and I apologize for that). And it's not about growing up or dealing with reality, cause I still play and read mangas like when I was a teenager (or even earlier).

[@LiarraSniffles_X3]

Tom Cat I'm nostalgic as shit about morrowind and oblivion, but after playing skyrim I just can't go back and enjoy them like I used to because of how horribly dated everything is. SC1 holds up ok compared to newer rts games, but I wouldn't give it any awards outside of a neat storyline that is not afraid to be dark. Nostalgia is 50/50. Basically, stop trying to compare everything to 'the good old days' and you will suddenly find yourself marveling at everything again like you used to, although you're now more mature than you used to be (I hope ;3). Just let things stand on their own and don't try to compare it negatively to the past, it does it's own things that the past didn't or couldn't do, so there is now more new stuff than ever to wonder at. TLDR: you cant forget what you learned in the past, but if you really try to avoid comparing everything to it, you will find yourself enjoying everything new a lot more.

[@xtremereggae]

StarCraft II's script is a silly space opera, a mockery of the first title's dark story and an insult to the deliciously evil female badass that was BW's Kerrigan. Luckily it's first and foremost an online multiplayer game, arguably the best, and the single player missions are still fun to play.

[@dawsonoo7]

+xtremereggae True that, but I kind of enjoyed Wings of Liberty's story.... still, the ending was too fairy-tale for starcraft. They could have done it much better, if Kerrigan would have been killed, Raynor goes mad with fury and kills Tycus, then in the second expansion when facing Zeratul's impending doom vision thing, they could have done something along the psi emitter development line story... the zerg are in chaos and fighting amongst each brood again and Raynor's crew tries to gather intel and develope a new advanced psi emitter to somewhat control the zerg and use them against the coming Xel'Naga (but secretly he just wants to use them to attack the Dominion and kill Mengsk. We could have also had a some major story development for Nova, with Raynor trying to turn her against the Dominion and maybe use her powerful psi abilities in conjunction with a new psi-emitter to control the zerg... basically try to use Nova in the role of a Queen of Blades... but maybe without the whole metamorphosis again (would be too repetitive). Sorry for the wall of text, but I just had this alternative story idea and couldn't keep it to myself :D

[@ivanmeza7089]

+xtremereggae are you not listening to the story? catch up on it in legacy of the void and tell me again how its some mockery. i think it lived up to sc1 nicely.

[@RydaliaAstora]

+dawsonoo7 Thnks for the spoiler

[@dawsonoo7]

Ridalia You're welcome... but really? the game has been out for how many years now and it's a random comment that spoils it for you? you could also have stopped reading after "the Wings of Liberty story"

[@RydaliaAstora]

thats ok :3

[@Szederp]

Even with their aged quality..the old cutscenes outshine the mess that is SC2. What happened to the sublime???

[@Szederp]

***** SC1's story was mature, political and adult. And the cutscenes reflected that perfectly with the dark atmosphere you mentioned. It did not feature "in your face" scenes...it rather created a forum for conjecture than spoon feed you "teh epicness".

[@derpeter1234]

Go fuck yourself

[@Szederp]

derpeter1234 Fine argument. Please, let us hear more!

[@frozenecho2297]

Alonso de Hojeda adult and mature are not points of praise in the same way childish is not a point of criticism they are merely descriptive terms and the fact that a story is considered by you as adult or mature does not affect the product in any way shape or form

[@TheHunterDemon]

Evolution happened. Just sayin'.... I mean you would blame Blizzard again if it was the same feeling. The purpose of the games is to move on.

[@strivetoglory1988]

That Dragoon ambush was awesome

[@tour2567]

Terran

[@zeratul____1228]

The Device at 25:36 must have been a variant of the Xel'naga Artifact in WoL

[@ABxtan]

Those HOTS cutscenes though!!! Zeratul shows up and gets beat up for no reason..... How dare you interrupt your queen when she's brooding about her brilliant, twilight level love story... Fucking HOTS.

[@joebg4062]

SC1 was keeping the mysterious atmosphere better. And I finally realized there were only 32mins of old SC cinema

[@Doublex776]

Absolutely loved the gameplay, music and artwork of SC2, but the script... it's like the script was fanfiction written by a 13 year old. The story and dialogue of SC1 was more intelligent in every conceivable way.

[@HellishSpoon]

old CG animations are god damn unsettling.

[@pqsnet]

Ive always been pussled by the opening scene and endscene of the Terrans... The sound design is wellmade, and gives a feeling of loneliness... The reason is the echo in the spacecrafts radio... But the catch is.... In space, and even more so... in a suit... there is no room for echo.... The sound gives you the right feeling, but the physics say its ooo so wrong with echoes in space or tightup suites... Wierd how association overrides common sense.

[@WankerTheWetFingers]

common sense? the cosmic space is relatively new concept for human sense

[@webegamingg]

"Sweet roller!"

[@ultimate300zx1]

Cant wait to see these re-mastered!!!!!

[@ruv2323]

Late reply, but remaster of first game and blood wars didn't change cinematics

[@ruv2323]

Well, at least they added subtitles

[@jonthecatholicpatriot]

14:39 looks like Aranoch from Diablo II, and the fall of Aiur reminds me of the destruction wrought upon Tristram.

[@TheFloydsta]

I always hate seeing the poor white Marine and the black Marine left to die in the trench, its kinda funny because the black marine knows that if the BC isnt already helping it wont so hes coping with his death by rocking back and forth. The white marine somehow holds on to it till the very end until that look on his face when the BC heads off to orbit.

[@DKNguyen3.1415]

The Zerg and Protos were so mysterious in SC1. Even while and after playing their campaign.

[@familyguyblows]

The opening to brood war always pissed me off, those bureaucratic bastards left those men to die

[@WankerTheWetFingers]

The marines in the trenches were not their men. Actually they were enemies because the marines were from Terran Dominion while Stukov and DuGalle are from UED. They were observing warfare and potentialities of zerg and hostile terrans.

[@Alvargon]

I had forget the great quality of this cinematic ^^

[@thousandflowers3144]

Yeah I got your Zerg right here. hehehe

[@EnigmaGamer421]

The brood war opening cinematic still gives me chills

[@Shadybish]

TBH I wanted Kerrigan to have her hair red again after turning into a human

[@Vhailor_Mithras]

Me too; have her hair stocks hollow and pulled away with her red locks within. Nobody would question it.

[@NoWayCraig]

lol lol the character models look like they’re made of play dough 😂😂…MANNN this brings me back, I would play this everyday after school in 1999. Still holds up better than most!!!!

[@BlinkoutIRL]

I am watching this just to procrastinate

[@RappelKarton]

I really like the creepy tone of SC 1. SC 2 tries too hard to be a Hollywood movie while the gameplay hasnt changed since SC1.

[@micropocari1604]

18:07 The last time we see Tassidar (not including that part when Zeratul sees tassidar's ghost) ENTARO ADUN :P

[@joek4238]

Entaro Tassadar!

[@adimiza]

Most the best of Cinematics ever.. Thanks

[@josephstalin6549]

Builds up an army to free her boyfriend only to get dumped Just sad

[@Charlieknrr]

they made up in the end and i reckon in lotv they will get back together after she kills amon, if she kills amon.

[@josephstalin6549]

MRcharliei57 No, Karen dumped the space hulk guy in the end and they all lived happily ever after the end! until the terrans and Protos were zurg rushed

[@Charlieknrr]

kerrigan didnt dump him he dumped her but forgave her at the end of the game.

[@josephstalin6549]

MRcharliei57 I'm pretty sure Jim dumped her the minute he saw Karen rushing the prison ship

[@Charlieknrr]

yea i said that joseph?
