OMG ITS A CELEBRITY! Don't be a Douche bro, put some content out there about it. I'd like to see your take on it. even though I'm gonna play it tonight :) (btw big fan)
While watching this, I thought to myself "Damn, Blizzard is so good at making cinematics!" I then realized that this was not Blizzard, and now cannot fathom the abilities one must have to be this good... honestly WELL MADE!!!
Quality is mediocre - the walking animation is rough - the lighting is pretty flat - textures are passable. They had a great background artist. Also the character design in terms of height and proportions is really off. For an indie studio it was amazing. Yet compared to Blizzard the video would a Proof of concept video in their standards - which is just used as a rough test for their primary work.
I'd like to hear more about the proportions and height being off, since I followed the official Protoss anatomy right down to the molecule when building Zerash. Other than animation, hybrid and Zerash's armor, I'm responsible for everything in this and I'd like to hear your feedback in more detail. What makes the lighting flat? Do you have an example shot where you can point that out? What makes textures passable? Let's get to the bottom of this.
freespace87 From 1:00 to 1:25ish Where the character is using the altar the way the scene is shot in proportion to the world ended up making the character look like a dwarf \ lego figure. The 1/3 rule - which is generally keeping the target in focus while cutting some elements would help fix it. Though the rule is applied so nicely to most of the video just that portion went off. As I said earlier for a small studio its a great piece of work. Some issues here and there prevent it from reaching that top tier..
Thanks for your thoughts. He is intentionally small in those shots, so as to showcase the scale and mysticism of the architecture. I'm happy the rule of thirds are noticed in the rest of the shots.
I totally thought this was made by Blizzard at first. If you guys could work a little on the movement animation Blizzard is either going to sue you or hire you.
That 's a bold statement but I admire the confidence it was not baseless though. It is time people new something new and replace WoW. Who know if this could be another MMORPG
Okay so I don't know Starcraft, but I just summarised this to my friend as a Halo Elite with the voice of Optimus Prime and the teleportation of Nightcrawler using a Kryptonite Key to unlock a Forerunner structure and killing a monster with a Lightsaber.
As for the lightsaber, okay that's true star wars was released in 77. But to be fair, that's the first time I have ever seen that kind of weapon in starcraft. normally the protoss use wrist energy blades.
don't know starcraft? Then what the actual fuck are you doing on a videogame cgi trailer? Bcus i assume you musn't be into games at all, that's your only excuse
elgato9o I do like games. I've never played them enough to consider myself a gamer though. Someone I'm following posted this, which is how I came here. By "I don't know StarCraft" I meant that I didn't know about the gameplay, the franchise's history, its story etc. I *had* heard of it, and seem some cinematics and trailers over the years, but that was it really it. I thought an outsider's perspective on this may be amusing to some.
Hello, I'm a Korean RUclipsr who uploads videos about StarCraft. I'm working on changing old cinematic to clear high definition using artificial intelligence. Can I improve your video to high definition and upload it to my channel? Of course, I will mention your channel in the video description section. And if you can't allow it, please let me know.
I see in the credits that the voice actor is Eric Dieter, but are you sure it wasn't Optimus Prime?! Zerash should round up some other Protoss and yell "Protoss, teleport out!"
Impressive! Love the Starcraft Universe. Whether it be lore, or gameplay, it's captivated me since i was little. Awesome to see community made content at a production quality to match Blizzard's itself.
Blizzard needs to give Upheaval their full support with this. Ive been waiting for this release for over 3 years, and I'm hyped like you wouldnt fucking believe
This looks very badass as a fan of Starcraft I like this so much because it looks like a world where the hybrids prevailed and only a few handful of protoss, terran, and zerg are against overwhelming odds
It's probably because he doesn't have the "Limp" walk that most Protoss have. While in SC cinematics they tend to bob up and down while moving, his gait is rather smooth. Starcraft Cinematics also tend to not show Protoss Walking.
i dont know what "limp" off and other amputee stuff ppl here talking about, but i see that he protoss doesnt use his toes, no one of them, his own and cybernetic legs acting the same. His walking and run exactly as if human does on the heel only. Just try it yourself both walk and run, you even feel funny for a moment.
this is even better than the game cinematic like 10 times better this animation shows how strong the protoss armors are while the other cinematics they look loke arent where anything
I would never think before that a such thing could be real in arcade. You all seriously made an incredible job at it.... godamn i will never regret to pass many days on SCU...sadly it got bugs. I hope more updates will come back.
The creator is called Ryan Winzen. He posted a video of him playing his own mod called "World of Starcraft" back in 2011. The reactions of the starcraft fans at the time were tremendous and everyone wanted it to complete. However, the video was put down after Blizzard's personal request to Ryan. Fans of this mod were demoralised but Blizzard had done this so that Ryan could finish the mod in secret and invited him to the Blizzard Headquarter. After the visit Ryan asked for funding from the fans and the Blizzard. And after 5 years, he finally finishes it with this amazing cinematic trailer.
Wow you guys have done an amazing job on this Cinematic ! Naaaah seriously some of you are coming from the Blizzard Crew don't you ? :D Well I can't wait to go home and test the mod ! Thank you guys !
Freespace Films are the same guys who did "Starcraft final methamorphosis" cinematic, they made this cinematic for this fan game, all of this are made by fans, i only play BW but everything about starcraft its damn good
The way the character run at 1:40 was really unnatural and weird, but apart from that, this is a really damn good cinematic. Not not exactly blizzard style, but the same quality. Good work.
I remember backing this project years ago. Shaping up very nicely.
Same here. Looks awesome :)
Thanks for your support Hawk!
This is seriously made by modders? What the shit? The quality is really high.
We're really old modders...
19th century, yo
20th... idiot. if it was 19th they would be from the 1800s lol.
21st we're in the 2000s now
Eric, it would seem that you are immune to humour. Don't worry, it's fine :)
This is incredibly well made!
2nd Like
From stream :D
wow even lowko is here
OMG ITS A CELEBRITY!
Don't be a Douche bro, put some content out there about it. I'd like to see your take on it. even though I'm gonna play it tonight :)
(btw big fan)
Sup Lowko
WTF I thought this was Blizzard work and it turns out this is modders? I guess you guys will be hired by Blizzard. This is seriously badass.
Just imagine if we got a StarCraft MMO or RPG.
I would pay for that
I’d hope not, Blizzard would squander their talents…
This aged well
Did you guys accidentally World of Starcraft?
As far as I'm aware that was the name at first. Then blizzard told them to not call it that.
Blizzard is run by a bunch of cunts
No, the name was repealed as this is so much more than just one world, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense.
DpsBot But it is still kind of an MMO, right?
It's team-based, like 6 player raids, but not Massive. You wouldn't see 100 other players in your game.
The quality of this fan project is higher than most studio-developed games.
Its because its driven by passion, as opposed to greed
Hassel, he didn't say better than starcraft's trailers, he said most studio-developed games.
Visuals are not so bad. Good sound. But motion - sorry.
Motion is often the most difficult Thing and I think in this one here they got it Pretty well.
Do note that the motions were done by hand and/or code rather than full blown MoCap billion dollar studios use these days.
While watching this, I thought to myself "Damn, Blizzard is so good at making cinematics!" I then realized that this was not Blizzard, and now cannot fathom the abilities one must have to be this good... honestly WELL MADE!!!
optimus prime, a teleporting Dark templar with a light saber. those hybrid are so fucked
This must be a secret project in disguise from Blizzard because the quality on this is off the charts!!!
Quality is mediocre - the walking animation is rough - the lighting is pretty flat - textures are passable. They had a great background artist.

I wouldn't take his comments too seriously, he's just another armchair commentator who probably has never created anything in his life.
freespace87 From 1:00 to 1:25ish Where the character is using the altar the way the scene is shot in proportion to the world ended up making the character look like a dwarf \ lego figure. The 1/3 rule - which is generally keeping the target in focus while cutting some elements would help fix it. Though the rule is applied so nicely to most of the video just that portion went off.

Damn, this is Blizzard quality cinematic! Amazingly good job!
Not "quite" Blizzard quality imo, but it is good.
Actually I got to comments to see if it's Blizzard, becouse the cinematics were not to their see standards..
But shure, it's good.
No, the animation is not smooth enough.
It's a great cinematic, but if you see this as Blizzard quality you need your eyes checked mate.
+Sparclen yeah your right this is not where near blizzard level
+Sparclen well they are near but not as good as their standard
1:40 Star Craft:The Last Jedi
Considering that light saber inspired PSI blade yes.
I totally thought this was made by Blizzard at first. If you guys could work a little on the movement animation Blizzard is either going to sue you or hire you.
They'll make more money hiring us than suing us.
I cant underestimate their stupidity sadly...
That 's a bold statement but I admire the confidence it was not baseless though. It is time people new something new and replace WoW. Who know if this could be another MMORPG
I come here from Blizzard StarCraft facebook page, so they are more than ok with it.
Thanks to his blinking ability, Optimus Prime was able to escape Order 66
Lol
Okay so I don't know Starcraft, but I just summarised this to my friend as a Halo Elite with the voice of Optimus Prime and the teleportation of Nightcrawler using a Kryptonite Key to unlock a Forerunner structure and killing a monster with a Lightsaber.
Starcraft 1 was released in 1997. So you can say the elites from halo are total rip offs of the protoss.
As for the lightsaber, okay that's true star wars was released in 77. But to be fair, that's the first time I have ever seen that kind of weapon in starcraft. normally the protoss use wrist energy blades.
And Starcraft 1 was supposed to be a Warhammer 40k Game too. So Zerg = Tyranid, Terran Marine = Space Marine

As a fan Made CG this looks very good, congratulations, Maybe i will Back this another time
This is insane, i really want to see more of u guys.
Great work..
this is so good! keep up the amazing work!
i hope Blizz hires you and lets this be part of the official lore. :D
Why aren't you guys working under Blizzard yet? My god...
Because they probably read our Heroes of the Storm chat history.
Oh boy... How's your chat history? Should I be disappointed? LOL
In the lotv collectors edition cd says they do
Lol..." my god"
Wow. That guy sure does sound like Optimus Prime. They should hire him as a backup to Peter Cullen. Hint hint nudge nudge.
No doubt.
You have my vote :)
And MY AXE!!!
This guy is on point!
Damn you i was writing the same thing when i saw your comment. Peter cullen is love Peter cullen is life
Amazing... although I kind of wish it wasn't a Lightsabre
Not a lightsaber but a psi-blade. Totally different.
What I meant was, I preferred it if it was attached to the wrist.
+brav0wing it's not a psi blade.....it's a warp blade. ;*
+Oscar Sanchez They are referred to as either psi or warp blades.
+brav0wing Zealot use psi-blade, dark templar use warp Blade. its different
you guys should make a movie FOR REAL
Whoever made this needs to get funded and make a cinematic movie!
1:39 May the force be with you, Zeratul xD
Zeratul perished in this timeline. That's his student, Zerash.
Zeratul perished in both timelines.
En Taro Seratul, too bad he's dead and this is a different Nerazim entirely.
This game and the cinematic, voice acting, and engine are fantastic. Brilliant work!
holy crap... ignoring how badly i want a starcraft mmo, you guys should make animated shorts. that was insanely good
took only 5 years to do the project, but yea, sure, lets make it into a series! ideally 1 episode per week, ey?! :D

Is it Peter Cullen ? a Optimus Prime voice actor ?
That's what I thought too, but its Zeus Legion (Eric Dieter). He does a great Peter Cullen :)
Moloch, baby!
cAPTAIN cAPSLOCK wE mEET aGAIN +Endwar (Also, I miss Endwar, it was a good game.)
Now this is how you score a job at Blizzard Entertainment
I was actually doubting if this was blizzard quality or fanmade, very well made!
This looks so awesome, everything feels so fluid, and lifelike or a cartoony sort of lifelike
This was so good I thought it was made by blizzard...
you guys deserve applauds for this work not many modders can manage what you have done "claps"
Is that you Optimus? the heck ya doin there? XD
Transforming into a Dark Templar, of course. Roll out!
He's there to meet his maker
optimus in starcraft
Love this, Keep it up, I always saw Beyond Koprulu in the arcade and thought nothing of it, but seeing this has convinced me to try it!
I see in the credits that the voice actor is Eric Dieter, but are you sure it wasn't Optimus Prime?! Zerash should round up some other Protoss and yell "Protoss, teleport out!"
I just realized this isn’t even blizzard... holy duck best fan made shit ever
Why did his speech remind me of transformers?
Because there's more here than meets the eye? :)
Exactly what I was thinking haha! He sounds somewhat like Optimus Prime
A protoss with a lightsaber. I'm sold.
Is blizzard ok with this? Cause I would quit wow for this
yes, this is an arcade game for starcraft 2, meaning that is a game played within starcraft 2 itself, so it is completely legal.
holy fuck...
Blizzard pls team up with Upheaval Arts and make an starcraft mmo
Why wouldn't they be, it's basically free content for Blizzard.
the starcraft 2 engine is one damn flexible thing
Impressive! Love the Starcraft Universe. Whether it be lore, or gameplay, it's captivated me since i was little. Awesome to see community made content at a production quality to match Blizzard's itself.
H - HYPE
Eric Dieter makes me feel eargasm, dat voice is so epic.
That's what my agent would say. If I had one.
so it actually came to be and did not stop in the bet. havent seen many news but awesome that it at last is live.
We need to fund the hell out of this
Blizzard needs to give Upheaval their full support with this. Ive been waiting for this release for over 3 years, and I'm hyped like you wouldnt fucking believe
"I am Optimus Prime!" ohhh.... wrong universe! :D
The quality of the video... IT´S OVER 9000!!!
The very first thing I thought was... That sounds like Peter (Optimus) Cullen.
This is fanmade!?! THIS IS AMAZING!!!
Peter Cullen does the narrator?
You just made my day
Can't wait to try this!!!
did they use optimums prime voice lines in this ?
holy I could picture an amazing movie out of this
lightsaber?
Love the scene, he say's "Hybrid!" Damn well!!! *-*
Amazing looking!
Freespace is a CG master...
What mean "CG"?
GJ!
CG in this case refers to the pre-rendered nature of the trailer
CG
COCONUT GUN
It can fire in spurts
If he shoots ya
Its gonna hurt
Hes bigger, and faster , and stronger too
Hes the first member of the DK CREW
HUUUUAAH!
This looks very badass as a fan of Starcraft I like this so much because it looks like a world where the hybrids prevailed and only a few handful of protoss, terran, and zerg are against overwhelming odds
Make call and I will answer Prime!
Until all are one!
+Zeus Legion Are you the voice actor?
+Lautaro Cruz Yep. That’s me.
Zeus Legion woooooow dude, what's your name? :v
+Lautaro Cruz Eric Dieter. It's in the credits at the end of the video.
Optimus Prime narrating.. so awesome... the CG quality man... PRO level
is that you optimus ?
Impressive...most impressive. The quality is strong in this one...
:)
This trailer was better than the really cringy HoTS and LoTV cutscenes IMO.
This is the flagship of the next generation mods!
his walking looks a little off
Give him a break, his legs are backwards.
And one of them was torn off and replaced by a cybernetic limb.
hahahahaha x)))))) plus he's an amputee. (no offence to anyone who may be. I don't mean to talk smack)
It's probably because he doesn't have the "Limp" walk that most Protoss have.
While in SC cinematics they tend to bob up and down while moving, his gait is rather smooth.
Starcraft Cinematics also tend to not show Protoss Walking.
i dont know what "limp" off and other amputee stuff ppl here talking about, but i see that he protoss doesnt use his toes, no one of them, his own and cybernetic legs acting the same. His walking and run exactly as if human does on the heel only. Just try it yourself both walk and run, you even feel funny for a moment.
Ryan delivers as I knew he would.
Why does Zeratul have a lightsaber? And why does he look like he fused with optimus prime?
It's Zerash, not Zeratul.
that is not lightsaber and he is not Zeratul
Holy shit ! HYPE OVER 9000 !!! (from a new french player of SCU ;) )
that sounds like petter cullen
Good video Optimus was a good voice casting choice
AWESOME
i was like wow. this the continuation of Starcraft badass
WTF!? So Dark Templars are... Jedi knights? Wtf!?
Jedi Knights lead by Optimus Prime. Hellz yeah!
So it wasnt just me who recognized Optimus' voice? ^^
Well, Zerash is sort of an alien robot in disguise...
This is almost blizz level you guys are amazing!
sounds like optimus prime...
Loved the blink-strike! Awesome work!
What shall we do Optimus Prime?
WOW GUYS YOU ARE AMAZING, good work!
gosh the Narrator is so Prime!
Tal'Zerash is like a mix of every awesome sci fi trope ever. He's a space-elf with teleportation, the voice of Optimus Prime and a lightsaber
August Giæver 'Til all are one!
wow i thought this was gonna be a movie trailer. Damn good job!
Amazing, let's hope you guys get picked up in some capacity and make some more!
Congratulations on the great and impressive achievement
What!? WHAT IS THIS?? I've never heard of it before but it looks so gdamn legit!
this is even better than the game cinematic like 10 times better
this animation shows how strong the protoss armors are while the other cinematics they look loke arent where anything
I would never think before that a such thing could be real in arcade. You all seriously made an incredible job at it.... godamn i will never regret to pass many days on SCU...sadly it got bugs. I hope more updates will come back.

Nice Graphics. Looks really cool. Can't wait to play it
Holy shit this looks hella professional!
I played the demo Version of Starcraft universe. It's just one Mission, but it is so well done. This is like wow in Starcraft. good Job :)
2016....5 years later where this at?
Oh my fucking god, I can't believe this is just some fan-made cinematic... Except for the running animation, this is just fucking impressive. gg wp
This is pretty good! Blizzard should look into hiring you guys
Wow you guys have done an amazing job on this Cinematic ! Naaaah seriously some of you are coming from the Blizzard Crew don't you ? :D
Well I can't wait to go home and test the mod ! Thank you guys !
Daym son this is great I love it and can't wait to try the game on beta
Freespace Films are the same guys who did "Starcraft final methamorphosis" cinematic, they made this cinematic for this fan game, all of this are made by fans, i only play BW but everything about starcraft its damn good
very good video!... it almost look like those in the SC II Cinematics
That is legit... damn that was sick! More?
This is pure hard work. Great work!
A Protoss with a Light Saber Huh ? ....Look like Jedi Blinker !!! Very Amazing !!!
I got the chills! VERY well done!!!
The way the character run at 1:40 was really unnatural and weird, but apart from that, this is a really damn good cinematic. Not not exactly blizzard style, but the same quality. Good work.
