    It's so easy to forget that the writing of SC1 was so different. Raynor comes off like a cross between a suburban hoodlum and an old west deputy, Duke is a full-on Confederate general, and Mengsk is basically aping Kane from C&C, and it somehow works so well. The false flags on what the Zerg are, the little bits and pieces you get, the way the writing is both subtly building character while at the same time throwing it directly in your face? I can't explain how or why it works so well but it DOES, and it does so in ways that Starcraft 2 or even Warcraft 3 just don't.
    Someone put it this way, that the characters in SC1 interrupt each other and speak their thoughts, instead of always waiting to let the speaker finish and only speaking lines that build up the plot. Because of this we get a much more real sense of who these characters are, even if they aren't talking about their backstory or saying things explicitly about themselves or each other. It's about to be shown off in mannerisms, attitude, in what they say and what they choose NOT to say, and whom they choose to share what conversations with.
    Long story short, the story of the original SC1 campaign is still fantastic to this day, and it's tragic that we seem to have lost the ability to tell such an interesting story.

    • @w1q2e3r4t5
      @w1q2e3r4t5 หลายเดือนก่อน +15

      Part of it is probably the fact that SC1 has a silent player character - YOU don't do anything, or choose stuff, you just watch and direct what happens.
      Though in SC2 they're also trying to pay off the big bad that they hinted at, to... disappointing results. Everything gets sort of... 'grander' in scale and makes it not as fun. Also them trying to redeem Kerrigan with a lot of incongruity between actions in game and actions in cut scenes. The writing just gets rougher while trying to make so many things work together.
      Also makes sense that things changed with the games being so far apart. Some writing staff probably left or whatnot, but it does feel like SC2's story needed some kind of rework, especially with the main character there.

    • @matthewgagnon9426
      @matthewgagnon9426 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      SC1 also understands brevity. You get these little bits of conversations, and then it moves on. WC3 and SC2 has a whole lot more endlessly prattling on and the writing wears thin that way, because Blizzard has ALWAYS only been good at vignettes. Starcraft 1 is just an endless series of vignettes, everything else added more and more and more with every subsequent release that it just got long-winded instead. It's very difficult to write long-winded scenes that are compelling.

    • @BLooDCoMPleX
      @BLooDCoMPleX หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      @@matthewgagnon9426 I think this is one of the best observations about what made early Blizzard's writing so great. It's the same in Diablo 1 and 2. The people at Blizzard were not great novelists, their strength didn't lie in detailed exposition or explanation on how a character's journey developed. They were just people who had a very good sense of media literacy and great influences, who understood how a short clip or a part of a dialogue at the right time and place could make a great impact and allowed the audience to fill in the blanks. Even in Warcraft 3, their presentation was very minimalist, far from the "epic" scope they focused on in the later titles. Their writing at some points reminds me of a comic book. It was consistently one of the best examples of "less is more", and only when they deviated from that approach did their writing start to feel bloated, tired, generic, cartoony.

    I was so lucky to get to see StarCraft in May 1998 at E3 Atlanta. The Blizzard folks were super proud of it and happy to show it off. They had a guy dressed in full 7' tall zealot costume stalking the floor. It was a loud and crazy party atmosphere so I didn't get the full experience until I got it that December. Easily, unquestionably, one of the greatest games of all time, of any platform or genre. Thanks for this video

    Hearing all of the SCBW UI sounds, the voice lines...Man, it's like therapy to me. Instant comfort. I do like how in later games like SC2 changed up the mission pacing with objectives that required you to be a lot more active, but I love being able to sit back a little in RTS games. You need some space to relax a little. One of the signs that SC is such a great game, is that not only is it fun to play, it's fun to watch someone play.

    • @TenjinZekken
      @TenjinZekken หลายเดือนก่อน

      IMO, the fact they made such a well designed universe in the future, after only working with Warcraft and Diablo which are very similar worlds is more impressive than the fact the game is balanced. Game balance is something they easily could've learned through the experience doing two RTS's before this, and even experience in a Single player game like Diablo have value in helping you learn how different things will interact with each other and understanding what players are capable of. Allowing things like hotkeys while not explaining any of it meant that they already knew they had a playerbase that would want these kinds of fine control while understanding casuals likely won't interact with these features.
      It almost feels weird to say that the game design mostly luck while the world building is pure skill when I think the latter was a much harder venture given how fresh this world is compared to how similar their games are.

    What you are talking about is the benefit of having enough FRICTION in product (and game) design. Modern products/games tend to try and make everything buttery smooth and seamless - resulting in soul-less interaction. Friction can be a very good thing if done correctly, and can create a sense of something to strive towards - improving engagement and retention among other benefits.

    It's so interesting / somewhat sad to see how much flavor SC1 has compared to modern blizzard games. The dark, brooding music with the dank, dirty mission screens, the cinematics that were clearly inspired by Alien with distinct horror vibes, political factions inspired by real (albeit historical) political factions. As a kid I remember being legitimately scared of the Zerg. This felt like a real, dirty world. Mengsk was a real bastard and Kerrigan was an actual, monstrous villain.
    Compare that with the homogenous, mass appeal, brightly colored palette that all modern blizzard games have. SC2 feels like a disney cartoon by comparison (I still love the game btw). Kerrigan is good now despite murdering literally billions of people.
    I'm not trying to make a 'blizzard bad' comment so much as highlight the vision and ethos that makes older games like this one feel so much more special.

    The original plan, apparently, was to call them the "Zurg", but this led to legal disputes with Pixar as they were literally rolling out a villain with that same name in the Toy Story movies.

    idea for a new game. First person game. You wake up without any memories, you are apparently an SCV and have travelled back in time. There is one message in your HUD ... "Raynor must survive" .. You must work behind the scenes and make sure that the SC story plays out properly. 😆

    The story/plotting is actually so good -- early Game of Thrones in space. Every character has shades of grey and conflicting motivations and personal desires they hide from one another.
    If the dialogue was touched up a bit here and there, made a little less goofy in some spots, the overall story would make an incredible 13 episode season for Amazon Prime or whatever the hell.

    Those story splash screens were added in the remaster to add additional context otherwise only available in the guidebook. I think they also added some "forwards compatible" story elements for the sc2 story esp with respect to Kerrigan.

    On the first defense mission, Sean says there's a lot to do - and I'll expand on that. A new, new new player might still lose this. But some players might think, "oh, if I attack the enemy base I can reduce the size of the attacks." Because the units aren't magically placed on the map. They come from those bases. Its not like some obscure objective, and its not going to give you bonus points. You do it because you want to and because it might help you win.

    IN DEPTH: The more Lore accurate reason Mengsk left Kerrigan to die is that during the Guild Wars the Confederates sent assassin's to kill his family and it was Kerrigan that did it. So he still held that grudge enough to free her from the Ghost Experimentation Program the Confederates had her in to kill her by his own machinations (i.e. Leave her to die in this mission)

    I hope he does the full sc2 suite of campaigns as well. They're a joy to play and watch. And Sean could give some sick comparisons in design choices.
    That angle shit with the patrol is so cool. Those tiny little things seem like such huge advantages under a microscope. And I'm sure when you add all the things like that together you get the massive gap between a high skill casual player and pros.
    Why are those options greyed out? Original unit voiceovers?
    I think its interesting that the first terran campaign of this game and the first campaign in sc2 both involve static base defense missions early on with a set timer.
    I always thought the reason ghosts weren't used is because they're so high risk. Nukes/lockdowns are the only reason you ever want one. And their damage is ass because of their damage type. Which was a thing in SC1.
    I was about to say the game clock is mysteriously missing. But its just in a different location with a different font.

    You know what... That Survive 30 minutes mission might be the first time in gaming that I've gotten a taste of pushing it to the limit and trying to beat the rules. Like the first time you do it, just started, barely make it out or maybe even fail it. Then you win it. Then you get better and take a look at what happens if you actually wipe them before the timer... It's funny because I've been doing QA for 15 years, so it's been my job for a long time to try and beat the rules. Not only was this nostalgic, but also very enlightening.

    His reaction to things like the teleport in the installation mission feels overblown. But it does make me want to see him take another look at the Campaign Editor. With all his coding knowledge, I think he'd love to reminisce about elegant, simple, and effective the editor's trigger system was. It was so easy and quick to take a simple idea to something presentable, much moreso than coding ever was, and was the main reason why Use Map Settings games in Starcraft saw a ton of play in the past and still see some to this day. Would love to see what funny little game he could make in an hour or two, with all of the 'teleport' triggers his heart desires.
