StarCraft 2 trailer summons 'Ghosts of the Past'

The folks at Blizzard are pretty good at making pre-rendered cinematic sequences. It's kind of a thing they do. Indeed, the latest StarCraft 2 trailer -- unlocked by fans at the Dominion website -- is filled to the brim with awe-inspiring, dramatic stuff.

makes me just wish that 'ghost' game came out. remember that? the universe they've created would be so sweet for something other than an RTS.
.... not saying that starcraft as an rts is bad, because obviously it isn't.

Haha, I love how they try to squeeze in as many dramatic lines as possible with none having alot meaning the way they're presented out of context and all. I felt reminded of that Vanquish trailer "We must stop IT from happening".

Sure, it's cheesy, but if something is cheesy and done well it can still be fun and enjoyable. There is a fine line, though, between "bad-good" and "bad-bad."

Looks freaking awesome. This might as well be my first Blizzard game.
But there will be 3 different StarCraft 2 games, but I can only afford one. Which one should I get lol?

I love the trailer! This is the most I've anticipated a game since Halo 2.

@(Unverified) rar, how is possible you know how to operate torrents considering you can't verify your Joystiq account?

What's up with the whole skull-on-your-faceplate thing every video game is doing? MW2, Reach, and now this?

That was a good trailer, blizz knows how to PR a game. But the only thing I always notice, is they aren't as good as showing battle scenes with in their trailers. The fighst always looks static, none the less the trailers are still the best in the business when they want them to be.

That's one freakin' awesome hollywood-movie-like trailer.
There're aliens, space marines, and a prince what more could you ask. haha. Sarah Kerrigan's new look (character design) reminds me of Illidan somehow especially with the wings and stuff. The space marine looks bad-ass especially Jim Raynor. Wooh! I won't be able to sleep properly knowing the Wings of Liberty is freakin' near on it's release date. haha j/k.

How about some gameplay in your game trailer?

Looks like this isn't film-level CG throughout, mostly game asset high res models rendered out into sequences. I'm actually surprised how frozen and emotionless the faces are; I was hoping Blizzard would inject more movement into them (this is an extremely common issue though).
