The most epic Starcraft 2 preview yet!

This new video is already a hot news topic at pretty much every gaming related website I frequent, but for completeness sake I figured I'd go ahead and post a quick blurb about it too.


Blizzard have always (and I do mean always) delivered some of the best CG cutscenes to help propel the story of their games. Does anyone else remember the insanely cool final scene of the Human campaign in Warcraft 3, when Arthus kills the King? Or how about that terrifically Aliens-esque scene during the Zerg campaign in Starcraft when a marine strike team detonates a nuke to prevent the Zerg from spreading any further - Epic!!

Well it looks like Starcraft 2 will continue the trend by supplying some top quality cinematics to round out the story. Allow me to borrow from Arstechnica writer Ben Kuchera and say "I would watch an entire movie of that."

In fact there's an idea, how about we get the boys at Blizz to cook up an epic feature length 90 minute CG movie base in the Starcraft Universe - even if it went straight to DVD it would make boatloads of cash!! I can't wait to see what kind of classy cinematic cut scenes they will be applying to Diablo III, keep up the good work Blizzard, don't let Activision corrupt your spirit!!
