Jul 22, 2010
As of July 22, 2010, only 5 days before the StarCraft II grand release, launched another new epic game trailer and brings us to the inner-depth of the StarCraft storyline. The new trailer, Ghosts of the Past, is based on the StarCraft I and II, both mixed within the story to bring the gamers closer to the StarCraft storyline. (You can also find the new trailer in Youtube.)
It is clearly shown from the first 20 seconds of the trailer, we see Jim Raynor has the close relationship to Kerrigan, the previous
Kerrigan with a sniper rifle
Terran Ghost and Queen of Zerg. Kerrigan was stuck in the midst of the war, fighting against the Zerg swarm and asking for reinforcement “We need an immediate evac!”. As the planet is continuously bombarded and swarmed with Zergs, Jim Raynor was ordered to leave the planet by the Terran Dominion Leader Arcturus Mengsk in the Hyperion (the commanding battle cruiser): “Delay that order. We are moving out”. At that moment, Jim Raynor shouts, “WHAT! You are not just going to leave her!”. (Up to this part, the movie is speaking of the past, and relationship between Kerrigan and Jim Raynor).
The revolution that Jim Raynor is leading in this battle field is to destroy the Terran Dominion and take over their force. That is why Jim Raynor, in this trailer and the game, appears as only as a mercenary Terran soldier and leading a group of dedicated Terran soldiers into the battle field. He is also joining the Moebius Foundation at Mar Sara, where StarCraft I first introduced him as a vulture (a motor bicycle, not an animal for those new into the game) rider and a marshal. For him, joining the organization is both personal and revolution purposes. Of course, Mar Sar is also attacked by the Zergs, forcing Jim Raynor to join the StarCraft II wars.
As the trailer progress, we finally see Terran Dominion ships appearing from Hyper drive above the Planet Char. Both Terran Dominion and Moebius Foundation form battle formation to attack each other, destroying ships and boarding the enemy ships. In midst of this trailer, we see two new characters: Matt Horner (the one in the General suit), and Tychus Findlay (the marine from very first StarCraft II Cinematic Trailer).
I don’t know how StarCraft II fans feel about their absolute bad-ass words, but I felt the characters played awesome role portraying each character. I loved it when Jim Raynor said, “About time we kick this revolution. You took overdrive.” when the Dominion battle cruisers appeared in the radar and prepares for another epic battle between Terran forces.
Jim Raynor's Skull Armor
It appears that Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay handle themselves quiet impressive: Jim Raynor alone takes down three marines and drinks victory vodka. But that dramatic doesn’t end in here with a drink of Vodka, obviously. Like an angered tiger and merciless marine, he attacks the Dominion Battleships with Tychus Findlay. One thing that you might wonder is “Why the damn white skull image on the Jim Raynor’s Helmet?” Truth be told, I don’t know a lot about that, but it is portrayed as a metaphoric devil. He is going after the Dominion for vengeance because you wouldn’t see see Jim Raynor pointing a gun Terran Dominion Prince Valerian and killing three Dominion marines if he wasn’t. (Yeah. The black marine suit with White Skull is the Jim Raynor’s Hardcore Armor, if you look carefully.) In my perspective, I think the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is all about Jim Raynor’s personal story, revolving the whole game on his political power play, vengeance against Dominion, and putting an end to Kerrigan.
P.S One thing just pop out of the mind while re-watching this trailer: When Kerrigan gives up her hope on the Terran reinforcement, this particular scene reminds me of the main character girl looking into the sky at the swarm of spirit monsters from “Final Fantasy Movie: The Spirit Within”. Quiet catchy the same, I think.
What do you think of this new trailer? Please leave your comments!
That Ghost is not Kerrigan, this is Nova.
love this game! looking forward to playing it^^
What a shame , can’t you realize that Nova is blonde
.
And yes this is sure Karrigan.
I think they put Nova there because Nova took the place of Kerrigan after she was turned. Obviously Nova is one of the high ranked Ghost or she wouldn’t have shown up so that is my observation of that subject.
NOVA IS BLONDE.
i like this game,i looking for playing it
Yes, Nova is blonde and Kerrigan is a red head, sooo….thats obviously Kerrigan
now, people ,stop saying that she is nova, because she isnt.
she is kerrigan.
look, nova, is blonde, and kerrigan, has red hair.
Daniel is right. you people are morons. Sarah Kerrigan looks nothing like nova… she wears make up, nova doesn’t
So… Samir Duran, Kerrigan, Mengsk’s son… and some kind of weired Protoss/Xel-Naga artifact. It’s times like these I wish I had a working desktop and 100 ucks just so I can play this.
I just took it up with some Blizzard personel… This is Karrigan. Not that I wouldnt recognize that red hair of hers.
Thats Karrigan. Now for my favorite line in Starcraft I,
” Lieutenant Karrigan Reporting.”
Zerutal is the best special character in StarcraftI, oh btw Thats Karrigan
” I fear not death”
” Put down your weapons, you have 15 seconds to comply.”
” Stop poking m- STOP POKING MEEE!”
” oh my God! He’s WACKED!”
“Is something burning?”
” You’ve called down the thunder, now face the whirlwind.”
” He’s dead Jim.”
LAWL I killed him.
