SC2: Ultralisk today and Zerg at WWI 08*

Blizzard has been busy lately, mainly offering the communities batches meant to show more of the most anticipated sequel ever: StarCraft II. As of now, we have seen details regarding the Terran and Protoss races, but Zerg units have only been briefly shown in some pictures and demonstration videos that were focused on the other two races.

Following the latest rumors about StarCraft II, Blizzard Entertainment will hold a press conference in Korea to announce the final race - The Zerg. The event will take place at the Grand Intercontinental Hotel Ballroom on March 10th, where Frank Pearce, the vice-president of Blizzard Entertainment will also be attending.

Additionally, a demo will be set up that will include all three races of StarCraft II for hands-on gameplay. That also means that Zerg will be playable at the World Wide Invitianal 2008 in Paris this summer. One thing is for sure and it is, that StarCraft II is getting closer and closer to its final stages.

What we saw already about Zerg (this is only a snapshot):

Update (Ultralisk):

"Found at Rob Pardo´s Powerpoint presentation at GDC08: Live, where Rob Pardo talks about Blizzard's approach to MMOs "

well i really dont understand the zergling concept and its wings usefulness... but just like they changed the siege tank (who looked like some sort of metal teapot) they might consider making the Zerglings less insect-like and more animal-like...
and hopefully there will be new ideas while keeping the essence of the race: weak but fast and aggressive.

Perhaps zerglings will get a tier 3 upgrade where the wings actually allow them to hop between platforms ^^

well, i have been a sc2 hater for some time now, but damn, those zerg units look nice - do you all remember how zerg was the most played race in the beginning? before boxer/oov/nada brought glory to terrans, then everyone started playing terran :D i think zerg will be the most popular ...again.(not to mention in sc vanilla zerg was too imba...will the history repeat itself?)

The ultralisk looks somehow big compared to the unit next to him
╦╦╦╦╦╦╦ The fence of the Ancients ╦╦╦╦╦╦╦
(last year)  #34 Snotty
 
I doubt that would be the unit's in-game size.

You cant see if this is a ingame or a normal picture... :/

But it would be funny. Something like a mountain giant

Look at the Thor concept, it's 15 times bigger than a marine, but the in-game unit is much smaller. Plus this is only the artwork... prolly they are going to change the model.

Y but Thor in game is 15 times bigger then marine Oo its like Building...Hmm dunno but i liked this ultralisk very much :D...better then old 1 for sure :))
(last year)  #38 Snotty
 
Didn't I say exactly the same thing ?

Oh and btw I really hate the concept, tbh I don't even like the old one (4 legs, 2 giant scythes, small head and turtle-like carapace)

"I pick my nose, therefore I am"
(last year)  #39 RAAMZES
 
No, u said that ingame is much smaller...Ah nwm that...We are w8ing for ZERGS,i want to see new air units :)).And what did u expect from concept,if it is Ultralisk it cant be much different then the old 1.

AND! if im not wrong here i see 4 scythes not 2 ^_*
