New Lurker?

Pharazn · 10-05-2008, 06:53 PM

From what I've heard, a new lurker will be displayed (or maybe not) on the site. I've also heard that it is VERY different than the original.

From Zerg Lurker - Starcraft II Armory:

Quote:

Lurkers make a return in StarCraft II. As in StarCraft: Brood War, Lurkers are morphed from Hydralisks and can only attack while burrowed. They can devastate packed groups of infantry as they attack in a line with their subterranean spines.

What the **** is that thing? Not the lurker I remember... They ruined it.

CrazyGerbilEater · 10-05-2008, 11:13 PM

failure, whoever modeled that sucks

Aiur · 10-06-2008, 02:15 AM

They completely ruined the lurker design.

CrazyGerbilEater · 10-06-2008, 02:34 AM

the lurker was always kindof a tarantula, only one middle part, and armored. and now they turn it into this crap, even the coloring is bad, couldnt they try and make the zerg creepy even jsut a little, i mean their ****ing monsters from space, their ****ing creepy goey aliens, where the **** are they taking my beloved starcraft. its like their trying to appeal to 8 year old girls(no offence(ok maybe a little)).

Zerg are supposed to be super creepy, not a badly made and colored cartoon.

Aiur · 10-06-2008, 02:45 AM

If StarCraft II turns out as bad as they're making it look, I might stick with SC I.

Why did they put mandibles on the Lurker? Lurkers do not have those.

Mr.Lampy · 10-06-2008, 10:32 AM

eh sc2 looks like **** well at least the zerg creep does

Zhuinden · 10-06-2008, 02:46 PM

Ugh. My finnish friend could draw a better lurker with the goddamn MSN Paint-like drawing thing. Unfortunately, my HDD has died since then, so I can't show you. :(

Btw, did I fix it?

Akazukin · 10-06-2008, 03:34 PM

I think it's still too early to judge the lurker.

We are all experienced in Starcraft 1. We see the Lurker as follow :

It looks like a big and ugly creature. Till this point, I agree with you, the design does not fit. The colors are strange.

However :

If you consider the overall layout and design of background and effects of Starcraft 2, the Lurker fits accordingly. The color matches the new platform and other zerg units.

han_han · 10-06-2008, 05:37 PM

Maybe we're questioning the new platform and overall layout?

BD-ICY · 10-06-2008, 05:48 PM

It would look better if it didnt have a huge ****ing head, the lurker head in SC1 just looked like a sleeker hydralisk head...

The big head needs to go.

HARD_ON · 10-06-2008, 05:50 PM

No, I'm pretty sure it just looks like a retarded triceratops.

Zhuinden · 10-06-2008, 06:19 PM

The bottom one with a bit higher gamma would be the appropriate coloring for Zerg. The Upper one is the default, original.

Drones look like scourge with teeth. What?

BD-ICY · 10-06-2008, 06:43 PM

Lol they do look like scurge with teeth...
