StarCraft Ghost cinematic HD 

Actually those look like goliaths hanging in the back

@@someone2Utoo oh yeah, you can barely see one in the rear. Gonna need a lot more lol

@@iamnoone5614 not enough minerals

There are literally Goliaths, Dropships but no Tanks.

The fact the guy denied a scouting team shows he's a bronze commander.

I always thought it was odd that they called them Marines. They're convicts, and conscripts. Calling them Marines is a bit contradictory, isn't it?

@@badsamaritan8223 Well whatever gives you the numbers. Like russian prisoners, murderers, thiefs and rapists. After they die in ukraine they are called "heroes of russia".

@@badsamaritan8223 space navy space marines, also the joining the marines used to be an option instead of prison, depending on the crime. Plus marines like to partake in activities that can get them put in jail.

@@badsamaritan8223 They called them Marines because Aliens called its alien-fighting soldiers Marines. Starcraft's universe is largely comprised of sci fi tropes and shoutouts stitched together into a coherent original setting (much like Warhammer 40,000). I say this from a place of absolute love, because that is how a lot of the most successful franchises of that era came about. (and also if we're being 100% Nerds about it they're not all convicts and conscripts, some Terran forces use volunteers and professionals instead)

@@badsamaritan8223 If I'm not mistaken, yes in the books they are convicts and conscripts mostly, but they would have their memories erased.

Why scan when you can nuke

@@flamematerial02 Their detectors could reveal your Ghost

@@Chickenworm9394 ghosts can also snipe. Joke aside, the FPS Ghost I saw 12 years ago has never been released, which is sad.

probably why you also have more than just two squads as reinforcements for a large scale assault.

@@LazyartistLast attacking a refinery is not exactly a large scale assault 😂

I think a better come back would be: So why are you with them?

Also Marine: "Have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No. Have you?"

Its a soft pun on Alien 2.

This was a one-base all-in. Tanks cost too much gas

Looks like a drone killer marine flank to me

Not even wraiths or a single damn science vessel XD

Then cried imba.

There was a goliath seen on the background at some point. I would assume they got that to cover anti air need.

Look at Warhammer 40K lol.

@@KriegLives Starcraft was going to be a 40k game before Blizzard's deal with Games Workshop fell apart and decided to do their own thing.

@@connormacleod4922 I know.

@@connormacleod4922 That's a rumor that isn't true.

After the relatively recent news on Bliz, I feel like they lost understanding of a lot of things..... like laws, basic human decency, the Geneva Conventions, how breast milk is meant for babies, etc.....

Sweet Home Alabama Tychus: "Uh, Jimmy? what's an Alabama?" Raynor: "I don't know Tychus, must be a drink, bartender! two Sweet Home Alabama's please!"

it sounded like asshole. what it sounds like and what it spelled as is diff

Could be some soldiers from the UED that got left behind when they retreated from the Koprulu Sector and got folded into the Dominion's own military. And there are soldiers from the UED that did get left behind, since that's in the description for one of the mercenary squads you can hire in Wings of Liberty.

Dunno...we still say "when in Rome" despite the fact none of us were around in the days of the Roman Empire.

@@Burt1038 the difference is we know what Rome is, it is highly unlikely they know what Alabama is.

"Who the hell's Georgia?" "I dunno, but she sounds nasty."

The Kropulu sector was settled by a bunch of undesirables the world government kicked off of Earth, it would make sense thst it was red state people lol.

@@johnt836 yikes

​@@WalknTalknStevnHawknPlus they used to be part of the Confederate. So of course many of them have some cowboy sound plus even little Jimmy right there.

I feel confident that Texas or California asphalt is hotter than Georgia asphalt

I have a sneaking suspicion Microsoft will revisit this project, now that they have acquired Blizzard

@@ZCasavant well, hope is the last to die

@@marcelosilveira2276 i'm going to try to remain positive about it. You never know! Maybe they'll take over and make something good. Fingers crossed.

@@ZCasavant Yeah, an MMO or multiplayer like Aliens vs Predator, only here you'll have Terrans (Marines), Zerg (Aliens) and the Protoss (Predator), so a reskin of a very old game. Good games with actual good plots are in low supply or even demand if it goes for the AAA games nowadays. There will be no Starcraft TPS, R* and everyone else learned its lesson on Max Payne 3, everybody now does games which are sure to sell, nothing innovative and it is the future.

If they do revisit this, it could be a good spiritual successor to Metal Gear or Splinter Cell.

What happens in tarsonis stays in tarsonis

@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh certified 11 year old moment

Do a barrel roll 🤷‍♂

Only things that tops it for me is Legacy of the Voids opening

Goliaths are literally ED-209's while the Dragoon literally says the walker's line "drop your weapon you have 15 seconds to comply"

Yes

In an alternate universe, wearing the power armor means your death will be gruesome, as your 'brothers' will say something like "Only in death our duty ends!"

Honestly, it's not that far off. We already have working powered exoskeletal suits. The issue is just power, since those suits have a cord that plugs in a power source. We do have smaller more bare bones one that are more weight reduction suit than anything, and they can last quite a few hours to a few days on battery power. Can carry like 160kgs with them on and feel like your carrying a feather. But against, power is the biggest issue (and money of course, they ain't cheap haha).

Start lifting. In 3 or four years it's basically the same thing.

Ow we just solved that as well so your dream is honestly closer than you think.

@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh Wake me up, before you go go, 'cause I ain't plannin' on goin' solo

Just another day of StarCraft pvp

That doesn’t look like vespine gas, vespine is green, this looks like terrazine gas because of the purple tint.

@@Luis-be9mi the place was called a vespine refinery. This was from a time when terrazine didn’t even exist yet in StarCraft lore up until SC2, when it was first mentioned by Gabriel Tosh. Terrazine itself won’t make an appearance until LotV when you encounter Alarak.

@@huydang5955 actually if you watch footage of the beta builds of ghost they mention Terrazine as a plot point several times. If they were to fix up this cutscene before release I imagine they might have relabeled it as a terrazine refinery.

@@deatlilies7927 maybe they intended to keep it a secret until later in the game? Like Nova wondering how odd it was that a vespene gas refinery was harvesting something that don’t look like vespene?

@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh 40k as an IP has been around since 1987, SC was 1998, my guy.

The first version of warhammer 40k (rouge trader) came out 11 years before StarCraft

Decades

nothing they could do honestly. the real blizzard was dead at that point as most of the core team had left for better jobs. at this point it was just a bunch of random kids fresh out of their first year in college, and a bare handful of real blizzard employees.

@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh youre a moron. starcraft was nowhere near the first RTS.

Starcraft is Warhammer40k meets Starship Troopers mixed with some Southern USA attitude. Absolutely based combo. These series seriously deserved more.

@@masterexploder9668 Don't forget to add in a bunch of Alien (see: Battle aboard the Amerigo).

And looks more Warhammer 40k-ish

@@matiasfpm Nah, 40k loves skulls and incoherent screaming too much. The artstyle of SC1/BW and Ghost was more retrofuturism than anything else.

@@cakeboss4194 The artstyle was essentially Aliens-like.

​@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh Blizzard has a history of releasing intros as trailers.

​@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh oof

That's the omega symbol. Omega Squadron also known as the Death Head's legion. Hence why they also have the Skull and Cross Bones insignia on their armor.

I was never born in the times of Starcraft 1, but when I saw it, I actually preferred the tone and atmosphere over the newer games. It just gives off a more unique vibe to the whole universe than what we got with SC2.

That cutscene of the "cold fusion and soda cans" 😅

Yeah, I miss that Aliens vibe

man...childhood...still good with Starcraft...

Yes

A single Zergling can rip though Marine armour at a decent rate, the bigger issue is said Zergling getting to the marine. If they can ambush them its purely based on the experience of the marine in CQC. Marines excel at long range fire, hell they can even use the power motors and joints locked up and do kilometre long shots, and the marines weapons can rip though a Zergling quite easily. That's why the Zerg would send 10-1 ratios of zerglings at minimum, if not more.

​@@stevenborchert6551 Zerglings are all about quantity being a quality in itself. The lore ratios of zergling to marines in winning engagements in favor of zerg are way above the game balance.

@@rafaelfarias4359 Well yes, that's why I said in the latter half the ratio is like 10-1 at minimum, but just because they do favour Quantity over Quality, the Zerglings are by no means weak themselves. They just happen to go up against stuff that can rip them apart. Put them up against Modern Day forces and the Zergling would rip though them quite easily, even tank armour would barely slow them down. The marine gauss spikes are hilariously massive compared to modern day rounds, and are fired at speed's we're only just learning how to do now. Just like a M4, SCAR or any other current assault rifle would have incredible amounts of trouble, if they even can, of getting though the amour of the Marines power suit.

@@stevenborchert6551 Looking at the original SC1 design of the zergling (or failing that, the StarCraft Remastered design), their front limbs have _wicked_ long blade comparable to a Hydralisk's arms, unlike the weird short claws in their Ghost design. Even SC2 gives them sickle-claws instead of pointy toes.

@@syweb2 Exactly, and those claws are edge in diamond like composites, making them incredibly strong to. It's why I said they could probably rip apart modern tank armour with ease. It really goes to show that if the zerg ever came, they' shred us like no ones business.

Live action, no. Besides, best Blizzard keep its fingers off of Starcraft these days. They lost their soul

Damn...I found this clip a decade or so ago, and couldn't understand shit, cause I'm Vietnamese. Now I found it again, understood everything and stumbled on your comment. How nostalgic

Like the movies , ofc😅

Lore explains they experimented with weaponry on dropships for self defense, but opted against it for higher payload capacity. But apparently something that wasn't adapted into the game was the ability of passengers to fire from side doors or platforms mounted on the undercarriage.

​​@@erikestrada7470 and suddenly Emporer Mengsk retrofitted some shenanigans that allow Siege tanks to fire from a dropship while in siege mode. I call bs

@@pataponnabil Well I'm just speaking in terms of why the manufacturers originally opted against including weaponry in the standard model of the Quantradyne APOD-33 Dropship, which was still the primary active infantry transport used at the time this was supposed to take place, and that was in favor of the space and weight saved without it. Customization options were available and there were many cases of commanders/crew retrofitting standard models of Dropship (among other equipment) to suit what they deemed more valuable. Interestingly enough, during the Brood War, upon learning that 37 percent of field deployed troops became casualties which required evacuation to the rear, Arcturus Mengsk himself ordered a redesign to the Quantradyne that would allow it to be capable of medical transport and evacuation in hot zones. This directly lead to the development of the G-226 medical transport, colloquially referred to as the Medivac we know today. (Sorry I know I'm a nerd but outside of actually reading the comics myself SC is my favorite lore)

He tried

Wouldn't the the first time low ranking terrans have been shown to underestimate the zerg

That's neither, this was supposed to be a cinematic for StarCraft: Ghost for the original xbox/PS2

@@restlessfrager Okay, I change nothing about my comment.

@@culturalliberator9425 Why bring up starcraft 2 vs starcraft one when this is neither? Your comment makes no sense.

@@restlessfrager Uh. I don't want to be mean, but really? 2 was basically a reboot. I liked the vibe of the earlier games. Step back, take a breath and assume there's something that does make sense.

@@culturalliberator9425 Assuming there's anything that makes sense in your comments would be wrong though ; they are not making any sense.

There is three if you look in the baackground at 1:13.

That was back when they still gave a fuck, I think.
