Legacy of the Void Trailer Released

Post by Darth Yan »

So at Blizzcon the trailer for Legacy of the Void was released; we get some more plot details, and all I can say is it screams Final Showdown. Maybe the final game in the series honestly. It doesn't need to be connected to the other games and can be bought alone, the stakes are higher Spoiler
the dark voice, amon is pretty much confirmed as the final boss
and it pretty much screams End of the Universe

In terms of the amount of Fuck Yeah embodied by the trailer I don't think it beats Heart of the Swarm, but I still want them to get on and release this sucker.

From the sounds of it the gameplay might, ironically, be similar to Dawn of War 2, they're going for the presentation of the Protoss as captain badasses, each one worth an army of lesser beings etc, so I suspect it might well be heroes + support as your primary campaign armies.

Not really surprising considering that one vision you play as a hold-out mission in Heart of the Swarm where the Protoss create an Ark to preserve life.

And is it just me or does that female templar with Kerrigan sound like Jennifer Hale / femShep?

This game looks fucking epic, but HotS soured me on Starcraft II pretty heavily. Yeah, it looks good, but Blizzard has burned me before. I'll probably wait for a few reviews to come out before buying rather than pre-ordering like I did with WoL and HotS.

I actually really loved Heart of the Swarm. Kerrigan was far more well rounded than she ever was in brood war (she was just some bitch most of the time who did evil things for evilness.....). In HOTS her motives were more sympathetic (she genuinely feels vengeance is all she has left and she doesn't take sadistic pleasure in it either as seen by how she expresses guilt after Lasarra's death.) She also undergoes actual character development. Gameplay wise it ruled, story wise....could have been better but still had a lot to like.

Despite playing Starcraft when it first came out I only purchased SCII this year when it was discounted. So I am going to wait for reviews before buying since I don't play that many games. I am interested notably because it seems that the story will finally reach its end. Hopefully it will involve kicking Xel'naga butt.
