StarCraft II continues the epic saga of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg. These three distinct and powerful races will clash once again in the fast-paced real-time strategy sequel to the legendary original, StarCraft.
The artistic style reminds me of Half-Life 2 renderings, though Nery himself says he was inspired more by the Terran units in Starcraft. They do share similarities–especially in regard to their armor design, never mind the fatty cheeks and Leno-esque jaw–don’t they?
So it got me thinking. Toy Story was released in 1995, and Starcraft in 1998. Could it be…that Blizzard’s lead designer Chris Metzen was in fact INFLUENCED BY PIXAR’S CUDDLY TALE OF PLAYTHING FRIENDSHIP?!?!? That, and Starship Troopers, obviously. Or, to be even more conspiratory, perhaps Starcraft is in fact an unspoken SEQUEL to Toy Story. Whoa.
I mean, what do we really know about Buzz, really? He was placed in hypersleep before embarking on his mission, which is left unexplained. And to whom does he report? The Intergalactic Alliance. That sort of diction isn’t too far off from “United Earth Directorate”. That’s right, you remember now — the hardline international Terran government in Starcraft which decided to solve Mother Earth’s issue of overpopulation by creating a space colonization program. UED as the IA’s future variant — following some incident of interspecial disagreement, perhaps? The plot thickens.
Imperialist bastards — we’ve learned of Buzz’s real colors. But his bravery, courage and displays of genuine friendship in Toy Story suggest he is of better character than any Terran bigwig. Clearly he hasn’t been subject to the harsh realities of the neo-colonial initiative yet — the wanton slaughter, the drone of a Protoss blade, the scythed air by a Zergling claw. Buzz is still green, merely a pawn in a larger political game.
hmm, wtf?
WTF?
go to de website : EXPOSED....
i just copy from that site....
Lol, now that you mention it buzz does look like the sc2 marine kind of except hes got a jet pack, and doesnt have a gun, instead a laser.
This is hilarious.
Another thing, there is an actual tv show called "Buzz Lightyear of Star command" I believe it was originally aired in 2003? So, there could be some kind of connection... Maybe Buzz is a UED special Ops Marine? Maybe instead they get lasers instead of the Gauss Rifle? and a jet-pack instead of possibly more armor or something? hell who knows. Maybe if he does have some kind of connection to sc, I will tell you this. Maybe pixar was just feeling like they wanted to rip something off? x)
if blizzard create de ops marine with de jet pack....
that will be (tiberium 3) ZONE TROOPER...
=o
