New blizzcon shots!

That's NOT Zeratul. It's simply a DT with a warp blade.

This is what Zeratul looks like. (He's in the right cage)
http://www.sc2pod.com/img/gallery/621.jpg

Zeratul is right handed, while the DT is left handed. Zeratul has totally different armor, and is showing more skin.

 

Ok, ok, calm down. No need to shout. He was left handed in StarCraft1, and in some art. Also that Dark Templar has Zeratul's full green-gemmed armour, and he's too hunched to distinctly see his... Vestments. I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.

 

I was just too lazy to use italic on "NOT" so i capitalized it.

 

So you still sure? It's his weapon, his armour, possibly his... Vestments. His Cloaked, so you can't see a clear distinction of his skin, but it's still definitely different to the other Dark Templar. I reckon it's him.

 

You're talking about the "second DT" now right, the one with the warp blade? Anyways, don't you think the thing in the cage next to Raynor looks like Zeratul from the Terran announcement video etc.? Here's another one: http://starcraft.org/videos.php

I really think the guy in the cage is Zeratul. Blizzard have said that they will give all heroes unique models, why just take a DT and slap a warp blade on it?

 

i have no idea what you're on about...

not to up to scratch on protoss anatomy...

 

@ GMG. I'm talking about this:

It's Zeratul, no? As I said, it's his weapon, armour, drapery, but he's Cloaked so you can't really decipher anything else. It's definitely not just a Dark Templar with a Warp Blade.

@ overmind. Vestment is a real word. It's a type of robe or cloak, etc. It's what I used to describe his loincloth and chin-loincloth, etc. Couldn't think of anything else that describes what he's wearing.

Oh, and I take offence to being called angry guy. >=\>=\

 

I don't think so. :/

Look here, he's actually right handed. http://starcraft.org/videos.php

Here's a screenshot where a Protoss is in a cage. http://www.starcraftwire.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1014

His right hand has a warp blade apparatus on it.
He is showing a lot of his arms and upper head, in contrast to other DT's, just like Zeratul does in the video above, as well as in numerous other videos and pics.
He is next to Raynor. Seriously, it's easy to figure out it's Zeratu in the cage. And, the DT with the Scythe and Warp Blade have more armor and look different. They are DT's with different weapons. Zeratul is the one in the cage.



Please tell me why Blizzard would make Zeratul look like a DT with a smaller weapon (the different shoulder pads are not very prominent).

 

a lot of these doodads look like they'd be interactive, or at least used in teh campaign

-camera's
- a barrel
-the cages

 

its not necessarily zeretul in the cage either, starcraft2 is set to have heaps of new characters.

 

@ GMG.

About him being right handed, the picture could have easily been flipped. Besides, all Dark Templar were left handed in StarCraft1 and he's also shown as being left handed in several pieces of concept art, like here:
http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Zeratul_SC1_Art1.jpg

About showing his arms, how can you clearly distinguish what is looks like skin and what looks like armour when he's Cloaked? It's all the same texture and everything. Besides, comparing the two Dark Templar, the Warp Bladed model looks considerably less armoured, particularly on the arms.

About the cage, I'm not saying that isn't Zeratul in the cage. They're the same model, only the one on black is Cloaked and obviously in its idle animation.

Also, the Warp Bladed Dark Templar also has Zeratul's hairdo, as seen in the link I posted earlier as well as other concept art like this:
http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Zeratul_SC1_Art1.jpg
And in the screenshot you keep linking.

The more I see the more I'm convinced it's him. It's his weapon, armour, armour distribution, drapery and hairdo. The only reasons the one you're looking at looks different is because he's not Cloaked, his not armoured and it's from a much better angle. That second Dark Templar with the Wrap Blade is Zeratul. I'm sure of it.

 

OK, you're right, that DT with the warp blade could easily be Zeratul. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

 

Sweet.

Time to break out the shammm-paggin!

 

But mark my words... If that doesn't turn out to be Zeratul... You will have to face The Consequences.

And if it turns out to be Zeratul nothing happens.

 

*Whimpers*

You were bothered to italicise it and capitalise the first letters?! What horrors have I unleashed on this world?!

But seriously, it's Zeratul.

 

Forgive me for lazyness Hex, but do you know that there are 2 variations of the DT now? It was confirmed by blizzz

if ur arguing about something else then np ;p.

 

*Hrmph*

Where was this confirmed by Blizzard?! That second Dark Templar has got to be Zeratul though. If it's not, then it's got to be one of his royal guard, lookalikes, imitators, or contestants from the Dress Up Like A Protoss Hero Day.

 

maybe im being old school, but the templar in the cage kinda looks like Artanis to me, but well find out eventually.

 

Isn't Artanis dead?

 

yes, and you(the player) killed him. oops WRONG!!!, we are thinking of Aldaris

Artanis is the new protoss character in SC:BW.
