Shoutout to the viking that tried to 1v1 an ultralisk. Will not be forgotten.
yes sir
My mans had heart
brazil vs germany in 2014 be like 😂😂😂
Too bad he wasn't a Sky Fury.

"After huge advancements in protection technology on space marine suites we can proudly report that we increased the time to survive from 1.6 seconds to 2.4 seconds in average" ...
This is why you always research uprgades
Starcraft Space Marines = Warhammer Imperial Guard?
Awesome!)
@@manictiger yeap... 40k marine would solo that ultralisk with nothing else but chainsword.
@@manictiger Except their Rifles were nerfed from Firing 30 bullets per second to being an actual AR,that was the biggest nerf to the Terran Marines
10 years later and this still goes hard
The background music is what does it.
so true, Man!
rekt game
Make that 11 years
20 years later and still nothing better came out
1:52 those glittering muzzle flashes on the monotone background is pure beauty…
Amazing, right? Did you notice how the Nydus Worm pops up from below two siege tanks, knocking them aside?
@@ZCasavant yes, Blizzard is filled with cinematic drama and awe. 🥰
Imagine an actual three hour long movie of this quality and on this scale. It would blow my mind.
It would, at least brake even on box office if not 200% - 300% returns, with interesting characters, script etc the market is ready for a franchise like that.
Get it 4 hours half.
And it won’t be enough action to cramp in.
I just love these animation trailer so much.

Just so y'all know when your girl is staring out the window all quiet and you ask her what's wrong and she says "nothing". This is what's going through her mind.
this made me CACKLE

Lmao. That's the best analogy I've ever read. You're probably right which is scary to.

“No! Blades are for skating!
Ya dingus
It’s kinda snowy”
Feel bad for the dude who did the valiant swoop in but ended up shooting the ground more than the enemy
It's Leroy Jenkins.
Him shooting the ground shows the urgency.
9 years ago, CGI is better than in 2022
The stuff in the MCU you mean? Just Phase 4
Pirates of the Carribean looks also great to this day
@@masturbinho6656 That's because it was dark CGI. Darkness hides CGI imperfektions.
@@bobvance- *DC smiles in awkwardness*
It's called art direction
That Viking transformation at 1:10 was so badass even though it got rocked so hard
Well no one lives forever
It didn’t explode so if this would have been real the one inside would have survived.
@@burdy1990 until the next zerg opens it up
It landed right in front of it 😅that was super dumb
But ultralisk was cooler😈
Viking: "I think right in front of this Ultralisk is a good place to land"
MrBenny10101 I like to think that the Viking knew that there wasn’t going to be enough time for the siege tanks to get ready or at least he/she thought that so they sacrificed themselves to buy a few precious moments for the rest to get ready for the coming onslaught.
@@mynameissuperelaborate3746 I'm sorry, but if you don't see the giant flying Zerg, you deserve to be caught with your pants down. The capital had plenty of time to start setting up that line.
I recommend you to watch the episode "Orders are orders" by Carbot. You will know why!
Sealside “I’m the best pilot in the whole galaxy”
Well, its all a dreaming sequence right? Its okay Kerrigan would imagine stuff like this.
2021 and this video still gives me chills. That Battlecruiser falling down ...you wouldnt expect it to be so massive.
idk...IMO brood war's cinematics had far greater emotional impact than this despite being 1990-era blocky animation
Ya, the game have the battlecruisers be small, because they actually need to fit in screen, but in reality they are huge
You should try Starcraft 2's "Real scale" mod for the campaigns
the shot of that Battlecruiser hitting the surface is still mindblowing.
WTF ? This is a 7 years old opening scene. Its still beyond 2020.

1:09 the Viking transformation was flawless with the flow into the landing. Gets me every time
it's a blizzard opening cinematic
@@lllliiiill9861 This entire video was flawless
Beyond 2022
This was the most insane cinematic I've ever seen in my entire life.
+Vaalferatus Watch some of the Smash Bros. openings.
+Vaalferatus wathc the legacy of the void trailer
+Michael Maszk that's why I'm here again. And to be honest, I think this one right here is better.
+Travis Bickle i think mist of panderia is better...
+Dolan Sajorda no
It's crazy how this cinematic still holds up so well
Old Blizzard was decades ahead of its time.
11 years later still hits hard
Hear hear brother
battle cruisers in game: size of two tanks
battle cruisers in animation: HOLLY SHEET!
im wanting to say at some point the game shows that the battlecruisers in game are mini mass produced ones and that there are ones much much bigger
scott grasser The units in gameplay aren’t to scale.
Guys...
That’s a Behemoth class battlecruiser
The one in game is Minotaur class and much smaller
(Pls No wooosh)
And also scale
BTW there's a mod that adds more correct unit scales to the game...
They probably couldn't fit the actual size of the cruiser onto the screen
I would pay tons of money to see a movie of this caliber. Tons. Of. Money.
+TyTimeIsAwesome its called starship troopers
Matt Hawkins
I think you're completely missing the point. They said "movie of this caliber" as in the caliber of the trailer and its CGI goodness with its epic war scenes, not of the entire storyline of Starcraft which is pretty craptastic. That I can agree on.
Though really, I'm not going to have an argument over this. We can agree to disagree if you don't get what I'm trying to point out to you.
oh i get it. starship troopers is better than star wars
Never seen Starship Trooper. Does it have 3 races fighting for superiority? Are the technologies and warfare of the same calibur as SC? Don't ask me why, but I never got into space scifi, but I absolutely love SC and would love to see an animated/3D movie such as this intro made.
+TyTimeIsAwesome Starship Troopers was a weak attempt at making a movie out of half the plot of Ender's Game. Don't watch it, it sucks
@1:38 those falling shell casings.. jesus. the visual, details and even the sound effects. Everythings so perfect. Good job, Blizzard.
It's simply amazing seeing people keep commenting on this ancient cinematic
@Tin Watchman Almost 8+ years old is ancient in any stretch of the imagination.
People had to wait so long for thus its still new
it's still the best I've ever seen, along with the AC Revelations one.
Shout-out to those watching in 2023
That YOLO viking was great.
" no one lives forever"
In retrospect, I bet he wishes he were in a wraith instead so he could stay out of the ultra's reach while hammering it.
best scene I think :D
What time I don't play star craft
1:10 the Viking can have plane or mech mode
3 years later, I still come to see the honorable yolo viking
If it was technoviking, he would stand a chance.
poor micro
“No one lives for ever”
YES BRODER
Lol same
1:36: ultralisk really said "oh no..... anyway"
*Viking swoops to gunwalker mode*
Ultralisk: "Employee of the month, ladies and gentlemen"
There just needs to be a StarCraft movie...
Ameya Vaidya directed by Michael Bay
+Ameya Vaidya There is. It's called _Starship Troopers_. :P
+Baville but there are only Terran and Zerg in ST
Monster LMA There are maybe only a handful of directors that could do a good job with this kind of material, but chances are the studio would pick someone who can make money off of it, not necessarily a good film.
+Ameya Vaidya i would love to see it, Let Christopher Nolan be the director of this movie. It shall be a very meaning movie
1:46 The vikings crash explosion is next-level... looks absolutely incredible
he went full Pearl Harbor
I think that was Banshee.
That's a Banshee. You also see them flying alongside the Viking who tried to land in front of the Ultralisk
Yeah the powdery sparks after crash
I've never even noticed this until now
1:43 even in the distant future, Wilhelm still screams!
As cool as a Sci-fi trope as it is to have humanity united under one banner to fight an alien threat (like the Swarm), the thought of them spreading and invading like that is absolutely terrifying. I'm glad we haven't come across a threat like that irl haha.
If we did, we wouldn't be around long enough to tell stories about it.
and we know for certain just like in SC that humanity wouldn't band together
Yet
For those who are interested why Viking made a landing here's the answer you were looking for, when he flew above he saw that Ultralisk was charging up too fast, and since he landed and stopped him a bit, he continued on a slower pace, he gave time for the tanks to make final preparations
That is way over 200 supply...
Used cheats
More like 7 Zerg vs 1 Terran
it's simple really, you see how say zergling hp is like 40 hp or 20? idk. Imagine a single 1 hp is a single unit. That is how I imagine battles. So basically 1 zergling (40 hp) is actually 40 zerglings.
That is actually interesting but it doesnt work for everything.. like the bigger units
Starflash Z ah true :/
This is legitematly one of the best game cinematics I've ever seen
10 years old cinematics is still better than now
Its because there are no more talented people working on Blizzard. They all left
1:11 that guy has so much confidence.
It's actually what happens three beers later after the gets on his seat
From up there, Ultras look like Zerglings
Worker of the month
@Nobody Did he, though? I'm not sure the ultralisk even slowed down, it just ran right over him.
@@jimshotfirst4887 he thought he can but he fail
-I have billions of Zergs under my command!!!
-We have a Viking.
Someone call Sly Marbo.
.....
See, no zergs remained.
-Well I have an Ultralisk.
-But we still have a Viking. And he is mad.
this is best tyranid animation that us 40k boys are ever gonna get
Came here to say this . Amen
😔
Ever see the astartes cinematics? That scratches the itch pretty nicely
there's space marine 2 trailer, looks pretty good
This isn’t 40k
I love all the little details they add into the movies, like the tanks unsieging and rolling backwards while firing as the Ultralisks overrun them
You can see some of the marines breaking ranks and fleeing too.
Yeah, Blizzard games and cinematics were always incredible and joyable. I love supporting them by buying their products, they deserve it for their amazing quality.
1:45 Also look at the "flashes" of the Marines' guns firing. There are hundreds of them, but then they quickly diminish when the Zerg overtake them. Gives me a chill.
Captain Goomba
Also the stupidly brave viking trying to make a stand
A movie of Starcraft would be insane, come on Blizzard.. We need this..
Warcraft movie was bad because bad chronic timeline was choosed
@@South_Wall true true, should go for prince Althas
im all for it for seeing the retardness of uther and jaina in full 4k but we still have to see the sequel where the second war occur because thats also awesome.
Blizzard is down today
It would just be an hour and half of melodrama and 10 minutes of action 😂
Anyone else rewatching this after playing/watching Helldivers 2?
Dude this and brood war intro always in my mind while playing ahah
There is NO WAY this came out 8 whole years ago. IMPOSSIBLE.
Right it’s outstanding
2019. Still loving it. The music. The invasion. ALL OF IT.
odlicna stvar
The queen is hot :v
Facts my guy
Yeah, that's was voiced very well.
What about the Wilhelm scream at 1:43 ? That too?
The ultralisks are definitively upgraded +5 armor!
Amazing how Blizzard in less than 3 minuts can make something more epic than most Hollywood movies
destroy in half that time.
2024 and this trailer still remains undefeated !
Can't wait to see LOTV opening cinematic, those protoss units on high rendered cinematics... wow.
After WoW, Leeroy Jenkins joined the Viking Corps.
HawaiiKnut Mm, L. Jenkins died in Mass Effect

Very epic trailer. The huge Battlecruiser falling was icing on the cake. Perfect!
Amazing video
This should hit thousands likes.
Blizzard: a game company that should have been a CG movie company
They sort of start dabbling in that with the Warcraft movie.... but I guess that was it. :/ Bummer.
@@ZCasavant the problem was they went realistic. They needed to stay CG, stick with what they excel at
@@rockyrock95g90 yeah you're right! I totally agree. Do you think maybe they'll try again?
@@ZCasavant Blizzard Activision? Maybe but I highly doubt it'll be at a well made level of CG or it'll take years to make a Movie
Blizzard doesn't make these cinematics third parties do.
I really am the only person who wants to play a First person shooter Starcraft game.
I wanna be one those terran marines when we get overrun.
I 100% agree with you
@@lilconfucius2111 Thank Zeratul i'm not the only one
I kind of want to try out a first/third-person game of being a zerg. Like becoming different zerg units, or a primal zerg that kept evolving on the battlefield. Would be fun I guess, experiencing the story from a different persprctive and whatnot.
Eh, the closest thing you'll get is playing Planetside 2
Make it where you could play as the zerg and protoss too!
10 years and still epic cut.
I'm still in awe and hot amazing the detail is in this cinematic, the banshee crashing and see all the little zlings flying.
Wow I wonder how they found that many dogs to make all those Zerglings. I can just imagine the cost of all those dog costumes too! Wow!
Had to be corgis
No joke. This was made with corgis in little zergling suits
***** OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT'S MOTHERFUCKING NOVAPOLITAN!!!!
***** And destroyed this city immediately.
wtf ru talking about dogs bro
Anyone else wonder what the viking hoped to achieve by landing in front of that ultralisk?
he was hoping to become a Archon XD
+Tj Medicielo "YOLO"- viking pilot, 2013
+Tj Medicielo
LEERRRRRRRRRROOOYYYY JENKINS! *dies
delaying the ultra for the siege tank to siege up.duh
+Tj Medicielo A quick death.
Everyone gives praise to the Viking switch but 1:20 that hydraulic Seige up is legendary in its own right
wish this amazing IP hadnt been abandoned by Blizzard after SC2
Blizzard better be filming a Starcraft movie after Warcraft and with no real actors.
Make a 3 hour cinematic, for the sake of humanity, for Zeratul.
+lXlElevatorlXl uh huh and that would take 50 years or so? People just don't understand the amount of effort that goes into one of these cinematics.
Yes, people understand, that's why we like it soo much. I think you're exagerating a little bit too much, you can go and see tons of Animation Movies with a great level of detail, far more than one of these cinematics and the average time to make a movie like that should be around 5 years. There's a lot of people working on a project like this, would take 50 years to put a man in Mars, even far less, but not a movie.
이종현 well look at the new WarCraft movie i like the cgi orcs more than these humans , yes it will be much work but i hope for improvement in technology that will it make easier
+lXlElevatorlXl The orcs looked awesome, but, it's harder to make them fit properly in a physical world where they need to interact with real actors, like grabbing them and stuff, and tbh it doesn't look quite good, at least those kind of specific moments. The hair tho, the hair :3
Venza I know but i meant in their cgi context they looked good and i think its the first time the hair is completly animated but maybe im wrong
1:08 WE CANT KILL THAT ULTRALISK
1:10 VIKING: HOLD MY BEER
1:13 ULTRALISK: DENIED (Completely crushes viking)
*GONE WRONG*
At least he had spirit!
Ultralisk: Bud Light's not a real beer, GTFO
@Mohame Laifa he did shoot the ultralisk
Love this cinematic. It shows Kerrigans Vengence & Redemption!
Even after 10 years it is still goosebumps. No one did it better!
The statue just sees the wave coming and buckles instantly LOL
+AEIIIStraigon I thought the same thing XD
+AEIIIStraigon See that large creature coming out of the ground? It ruptures the entire ground to the right of the statue, which causes the statue to buckle and fall. 1:39
+mitrooper this is a nydus worm m8
my friends: what is your favorite science fiction movie?

You mean heart of the swarm intro. This intro is the best thing is SC2
@@parabalani Legacy of The Void is Amazing too
2:16 that flames on her eyes🔥🔥🔥
The chills when the tanks switch to siege mode!
I never knew battle cruisers were that big
yea in the lore those things are a flying city... each. think of how many people you destroy every time you shoot one down from now on
what about the merc battle curiser
Because Battlecruiser is taking it slow.
Mahir Cave , for the sake of a comparison. In this case one of their battlecruisers are likely as (in my own view) 5x as big as a US carrier.
Seriously!
1:08 Admit it, you wish you were half the man that Viking pilot was.
He might have lived. But then there was zerglings.
You assume it was a guy. Viking pilots can be women too. actually mentions that Viking pilots in general are rare (due to being able to adapt to the transformation) so they'd take people regardless of gender if they were capable in one.
pendraco2000 yaya
There's always *that* one guy. Sigh.
You mean half suicidal? ;)
1:39 the Wilhelm scream XD
Still gives me chills
The part at 1:45 is so damn epic. You see the muzzleflashes of tank- and gunfire, seeing them getting overwhelmed before the tanks retreated. Damn.
Pong Sifu it's a movie done according to a script, there is no "They" pong
nyuki187 What are you going on about?
Pong Sifu you think it's funny, but many people live by scripts. both girls and boys, think that live should be like in the movies. but yeah, yeah this isn't real, and you'll never have sex with sarah kerrigan, and you'll never fuck and elf girl. but you might live in a post apocalyptic era....
nyuki187 What the _fuck_ are you going on about?!
Radioactive Ultra Donkey ***** do both you lack any reading comprehension? i didn't even talk / addressed any of you idiots. i addressed a specific commenter in a friendly manner and he replied to me. are you really that desperate or attention deprived that you troll people that didn't even address you? fuck off.
Looking back, this is still one of the coolest game trailers.
You've got the viking transforming into ground mode and instagattling the ultralisk, siege tank siege mode set up, closeup of ultralisk barrelling towards the terrans, the nydus worm spawning, mengsk's statue falling and to top it all off the battlecruiser falling from the sky into the ground.
Coming back to watch and reminisce about the good times😢

So much potential for the Starcraft universe. It could make cool movies and other game genres than RTS. Starcraft is the only IP I would buy/preorder without a second thought, and I look forward to future projects and eventually a starcraft 3.
