REACTING to Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty Cinematic

The "It's about time" actually refers to the time it took for SC 2 to actually be built and released..

It really felt that way when the trailer first came out and that line was the only spoken line.

This came out as the first trailer for SC2 - just without Arcturus Mengsk's voiceover - in 2007, when the first Iron Man movie was only just announced. 3:16: Queen, actually. Sara Kerrigan, Queen of the Blades.

[@jessc3007]

This cinematic, minus the voice-over, was used as their announcement trailer at a Blizzard event in Korea. IIRC nobody even really knew they were working on the game, so the crowd went nuts. There's a low quality video of it still on KZbin, if you look up Starcraft 2 announcement live reaction.

If you want to see all the cutscenes + cinematics of the three games you can find on youtube compilations of them, but its a long video (if i'm not mistaken the full video of the three games is at least 5 hours long)

Games Workshop would have no leg to stand on accusing anyone of plagiarism given that half the 40K lore ideas are borrowed from other franchises like Dune. As Tyranids are just a mix of Aliens and the insectoids from Starship Troopers, Blizzard are completely in their right claiming those sources of inspiration as well

Isn't Starship Troopers from 1997? 10 years after the WH40k release?

The Zerg were originally supposed to be the Tyranifs anyways, hell Star Craft I think was just supposed to be 40K just look at the Tau and the Protoss and the Marine armor vs the space marine armor.

[@XochiCh]

@@chainsawboy2388 Please, dont repeat this misinformation, Starcraft was never meant to be a 40k game, it was a rumor that has been debunked by both parties, there are simmilarities, yes, but those come from using the same source materials as inspiration, like Starship Troopers and Alien. Also, the Tau came in 2001, the Protoss were developed back in 96 and the game came out in 98.

[@jonathanryan9946]

Yes, but actually No... to Starcraft originally being a Starcraft game. You see, Blizzard Entertainment tried to make their original Warcraft game as a Warhammer game, but Games Workshop didn’t want to give Blizzard Entertainment creative control. So their deal fell through. Blizzard just changed Warhammer enough and renamed it Warcraft... essentially bypassing any copyright issues. Shortly thereafter Blizzard Entertainment just came out with Starcraft, which had a ton of parallels with earlier Warhammer 40k themes. There's been a ton of speculation from there that Blizzard Entertainment clearly just ripped off 40k, and then the obvious urban legend which shifted Warcraft Originally being a Warhammer Fantasy game into Starcraft Originally being a Warhammer 40k game, but nothing that proves it was the case has been released by Blizzard or Games Workshop. Now a lot of people will go further and state it was clearly independently built and totally Original, just coincidence. However thats probably a load a c***, as 40k by the 90s was WAY more popular than Warhammer Fantasy. So pretty much everyone at Blizzard Entertainment who was aware of Warhammer Fantasy probably was super aware of Warhammer 40k. So it most likely was inspired by 40k, just unlike say Space King which is clearly a parody or Helldivers 2 which freely admits 40k was one of its biggest inspirations, we get Starcraft where most everyone can draw the implications that its inspirated by 40k, they just can't prove it. As to why Blizzard Entertainment won't admit the obvious... I mean would you admit 2 out of 3 of your biggest IPs (Intellectual Properties) are basically another companies rebranded product?

[@atreyos9449]

OMG, there are really many fans ignorants these days, no wonder how the rest of the fandom says those things about us. Is false your comment bc like most of the wh fandom you idiots believed the famous lie of the old fan forum saying that blizzard and gw made a contract or deal to make games which never happens bc it was invented by wh fans and most of the fandom and content creators believed ignorantly without investigating properly. Some advice boy, dont begin with stupid arguments of "copy, inspiration" bc GW didnt create any concept of fiction, besides it would be very hypocritial knowing how 40k started.

[@sagittariusa9012]

Wasn't Blizzard that canceled the deal? I'm pretty sure the developers wanted more "freedom" because GW was very strict.

[@great_hedgehog8199]

It's really not as much inspired by 40k directly, but rather simply inspired by the same sources as 40k, like Starship Troopers and Aliens. The similarities between both and the sources are arguably closer than ones between each other.

[@cubitonscalemodels]

Glad you liked it, You need to watch "StarCraft 2 The Betrayal on Kerrigan Cinematic" you´re gonna love it too.

[@JackRabbit002]

I've never played Star Craft but the soldier screams Leagues of Votann which is cool.

[@andrewweldy7508]

You need to watch the entire set of cinematics for the game all three parts. That and actually playing the game will give you the full story.

[@syweb2]

5:10 A lot of these comparisons are pretty surface level. There is probably a fair amount of inspiration from 40K, but a lot of the writing and more specific design elements are sufficiently different. The Protoss somewhat resemble the Eldar on the technology end, but they don't have nearly as many humanoid units and even their core biology is pretty different, with a VERY inhuman-looking head as opposed to Space Elves; writing-wise, the Protoss seem too tribal and fanatical to be considered "just Eldar" based on my limited 40K experience. The Zerg have, to my knowledge, a lot more varied body-types than the Tyranids, which typically are either vaguely humanoid or quadrupedal and often share body types with each other (like the Gaunts and Gargoyles), while the Zerg have units like the silverfish-like Defiler, serpentine Hydralisk, weird shrimp-like Mutalisk, and the manta ray-esque Drone and Brood Lord, even having a different main behavior system of infesting planets with their own architecture and lingering instead of eating everything and then leaving. Of course, the Terrans aren't a theocracy that worships a corpse on a throne, nor do they have anything even remotely close to the Primarchs, nor even many of the Imperium units that I'm aware of like the Dreadnaught and Space Marine-operated vehicles - the closest similarity I can think of between the Terrans and Imperium is the Marine itself, and even then those function more like the disposable Imperial Guard rather than the hyper-elite angels of death that are the Space Marines.

[@shanewest5845]

The Terrain Marines and the Zerge were ripped off from the Alien Movies. Specifically Aliens of 1986. The FIRST Star Craft specifically the Drop Ship Pilot!! Both are awesome franchises!

[@malebolgia4129]

Why does blyzzard universes looks like Warhammer : Blyzzard wanted to do a Warhammer game, they begin to work on it, then Game Workshop says "stop doing it, abandon project" But now they got multiple assets that can be use for a game, so they create Warcraft, which got many, many little similitudes here and there with Warhammer cause it was suppose to be a Warhammer game. Starcraft will just take some inspirations but not too much.

[@Calaban619]

As I remember it, It was originally going to be a 40k game, but last minute license changes and cancellation after they already did the majority of the work towards it, meant to still use their work the Starcraft in game races had to change enough only to be "legally distinct" to not breach copywrite.. but yeah, we can all see the Smurfs, Tyranids and Eldar in the game.

[@sagittariusa9012]

No, that was with Warcraft and Warhammer fantasy. Warcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer Game. Starcraft was never supposed to be a Warhammer 40k game. Starcraft is just a big middle finger to Games Workshop after those Warcraft/Warhammer problems.

[@fujukai9201]

Yeah, Starcraft 2 multiplayer is pretty hard, but the coop mode is doable.

[@FzNd]

Starcraft is super hard as a competitive multi player game, but the single player campaign is superb and pretty doable, even for RTS beginners (unless you play on the higher difficulties, then you should know what you're doing :)) Starcraft 1, I'd say is even better story-wise, but the gameplay is of course more dated. In any case, the whole Saga (Starcraft 1, Broodwar, SC2 - Wings WoL, SC2 - HotS, SC2 - LotV) is absolutely worth playing even just for story enjoyers. Beats just watching the cinematics, since those usually don't include briefings, in-mission dialogue and mini cut scenes, so parts of the story are hard to follow. But, if one were just to enjoy the story without having to play, the cinematic supercuts on youtube are good enough. Highly recommended :) PS: yes, the Warhammer similarities are kind of in your face :D If I remember correctly, the games were supposed to be 40K games at some point, but then somehow it didn't happen. No idea if that's actually true or just rumours, but in any case, both Warcraft and Starcraft are clearly inspired by Warhammer/40K

Warcraft was meant to be a warhammer fantasy game, not starcraft, starcraft doesnt borrow much from warhammer except space marines, and starcraft marines are totally different anyway. Zerg aren't much like the tyranids if you look deeper than surface level, the only things that resemle tyranids are the ultralisks and hydralisks, everything else is more visceral looking, like organs, and the protoss are entirely their own thing they're nothing like the eldar. Protoss predate the tau as well.

Never compare Starcraft with Warhammer if you don't want to earn the hate of the community 😂 Nah just joking, but. Starcraft's inspirations were Star Trek, Starship Trooper and Alien. Games Workshop never gave the rights to Blizzard, so in response to Warhammer Fantasy Blizzard made Warcraft, Starcraft was a separate case, also Space Marines cinematic, was literally inspired by this one from 2007 not the other way around, and the Tyranids besides they did not appear in a video game until 2004, They didn't look like they do now until their third edition in 2001, so technically the Zerg inspired a lot of aspect of the tyranids race back then.

My understanding was GW wanted to make a 40K strategy game, so they were working with Blizzard. Towards the end of development, GW decided to walk away from the deal, so Blizzard was like...well that's a lot of development time, let's not waste it. Change the name, just feature Imperium of Man, Zerg and Tau...but change their names and maybe their look a little. Drop the elves. And BAM, StarCraft was born. TBH, I've played StarCraft since I was a kid and I've played the DoW games. Though I think the lore is much cooler in 40K, they never got the RTS part down quite right. DOW 1 was best. StarCraft feels really good, and I like the simplicity of the three races. Would be happy to play it with you sometime if you're up for it. By the way...internet cafe?
