"Love" how black Kerrigan (SC) turned into white one (SC2)...but, as zerg, she turned green anyway, so screw it... (And yellow/golden, as xel naga...so screw it twice...)
Can we appreciate Mengsk's voice actor? He starts so calm, friendly, /humane/. When he needs something, he luls you with his demeanor and straight facts, just "we all obviously want to do this" Whenever someone would oppose, he instantly shuts them, but also explains why "it must be done". Once the jig is up, he knows there's 1% chance you'd keep working with him, but he tries with his grand entrance. When Jim shuts him, he sounds angry. Listen. He's not angry. He now knows there is no chance for continued alliance, so he switches on a dime and makes himself a threat: "I am busy becoming Emperor, so you two worms better make sure that once I'm done, I don't even remember you ever existed.
Recently bought all of Starcraft 2 and I'm planning to play it when i realized i've forgotten a ton of what happened in Starcraft and Brood War. So I hop onto youtube not only to find short lore videos, but this amazing recollection of everything in the game. Thank you so much for making this! Might have been years ago, but it's still very much appreciated.
The good old days when making a great game was about how fun it was instead of hiring a team of psychologists to figure out how to make a "game" addictive these days
47:48 That cinematic is still so freaking amazing to this day. My mind was blown when I saw it as a kid the first time. Putting all of this together must have taken you a great deal of time, it's very well done, thanks for all the efforts you've put into this.
So many years later and with Legacy of the Void behind me it is certanly chilling to listen to the Overminds last speech, hearing him talking about the Hybrid and the oncoming darkness. As well as it sort off surprised me, that Artanis is the executor we ones played.
The same here. Also when he says after Kerrigan hatches: What I wrought this day will be the undoing of my enemies. In the end, after the SC2 Zerg storyline I really was sympathetic with the Overmind and it's struggle to free the Zerg from the Dark One's influence.
Thank you so much. The feels... I remember attending my first classes, then I would go back home and play Starcraft Campaign all night long with Meshuggah at full blast in my headphones (only played offline actually, because I didn't even have broadband yet). Those were times dewd.
Cat Caywood Well, to be fair, the Muppets version was actually "Pigs in spaaaaaaaace..." I'm just showing my age, hoping you young whippersnappers would get the reference lol
+Cat Caywood The first ships that came to the koprulu sector was actually prison ships and when the ships crashed they colonized the planet. So the game is actually saying that the southerners were criminals sent away from earth :P
Man, something I realized about starcraft that made the already cool story feel great is that the 'player character' was a real entity that commanded the forces. Magistrate, Captain, Executor, and Cerebrate. You feel involved in the story and briefings. I haven't played it for a long time, but Warcraft 3 felt entirely focused on the hero units and no acknowledgment was given to the player.
17 years, 1 new title, and a total of 3 expansion packs worth of stories later, and Tassadar sacrificing himself to destroy the Overmind is STILL the greatest moment in the history of the franchise. Its never been topped, and now that Legacy of the Void ended the saga, it looks like it probably never will be.
+Snakie It's amazing, isn't it? I still see the original Starcraft Battle Chest for sale in EB Games... Think about that! What other video game ever, regardless of platform, is still on sale 17 years after its original release? More to the point, what other game is still being played online after that length of time? While Starcraft II is still a great game, the original was an inimitable masterpiece, surely the greatest game ever invented.
+Snakie Ha, never mind Tassadar's sacrifice, they couldn't even top Arcturas Mengsks' coronation speech, Gerard DuGalle's welcoming speech to the UED, pretty much every Overmind speech, Fenix talking tactics, the threats and counter threats between Edmund Duke and Tassadar (which is missing in this video) and Kerrigan and Zeratul, when they all first meet; and my personal favourite dialogue between Aldaris and Zeratul when they ambush each other during Tassadar's rescue. In short, StarCraft 2 was tragically shit.
Bumble Douche In the strategy realm Age of Empires 2 has proven to have a similar shelf life. It isn't sold on shelves anymore, but it has a very active steam community and they still make expansions for it. But yeah, Starcraft is amazing.
Snakie You're right there, AoE is another lasting classic! While I haven't seen it for sale anywhere for a very long time, I do still see the Age of Mythology Gold Edition around the place. Personally, I enjoyed Mythology more than the others in the AoE series... There's just something about destroying your enemies with a gang of Phoenixes or leveling an enemy base with a Titan. Ah, the memories lol.
Thanks for this! It's super helpful to get into Starcraft's lore when one does not have the time to go through the first game (been making my way through the second and am loving it!).
Wow... this was all I did during high school. I LOVE THIS GAME and I LOVE THIS COMPILATION. So many memories. It's amazing how I could anticipate the dialogue. I don't want it to ever end...
You know, assuming Mensk didn't betray Kerrigan and sent down reinforcements and retrieval, he still wouldn't have made it lol. Kerrigan was pretty much overtaken a min or two after that convo ended.
Thank you for bringing back great memories. It took some effort on your part, and it's been 7 years since this video came out and 26 years when I first opened that CD game! Anyone else watching in 2023?
As a fan of Starcraft since it came out i have to say the story and characters were much better done in the original game than in SC2. Even some of these old cinematics are better than the new thing. They were very creepy and reminicent of dire sci-fi movies while the new cinematics are just pew-pew action flicks with no substance. I love how you blended the cutscene of Kerrigan with the cinematic of her getting captured. Well done sir! Thank you for making this movie based on the story of SC. Many people didn;t even know what a good story the game had.
The music and images from this game always take me back to 3am in my darkened bedroom many years ago, playing StarCraft on my first PC and not caring about anything else in the world.
Ur a Legend Jakatak. This is exactly what I wanted to get into the Starcraft story. I started playing Mass Recall but it's way better seeing the original portraits, and hearing the original voices... and seeing the original artwork. Ur a trooper.
you put a ton of work into this. i played the original. really good job. but i don't remember those first couple missions. the way i remember it, you started at backwater station and then moved to the james raynor missions
4 years later you probably got the answer but if not here it is. They made this misdions to be the intodruction missions but didnt made it in the end into the actual game but more like bonus content
It was entertaining enough, but I wouldn't say the story was phenomenal. A lot of it comes off as a sci-fi version of their Warcraft storylines. Heck, the whole dark and light theme of the Protoss is literally just Starcraft's version of Warcraft's Eredar. Which obviously (probably) came second, but still, it shows how lacking Blizzard's writing staff has been for some time. At one point I expected Kerrigan to betray the Overmind and start her own rebel faction, which would make her zombie-alien Sylvanas. They swerved around that, but barely. The parallels are still there. And the gameplay doesn't feel like it's aged very well. Which is why I'm watching this rather than playing it despite it being free now. The second game feels alright, but even Halo Wars felt like it did more interesting things and Warcraft 3 is more entertaining to play. But maybe part of that is my preference for fantasy or sci-fi. And I don't care much for gritty stories, in sci-fi OR fantasy. Fallout and Dragon Age will always be well below my preference of other, lighter titles.
The story's too dense to be a movie. It'd have to be a series at least. It may be a possibility with the success of Castlevania, and the hype for Witcher.
you did awesome piecing every important part of this game. this was a great watch. indeed just like others said, it was like watching a great sci-fi movie
Very well done. Thank you! Sometimes you want to relive the nostalgia of the story without playing the game and you've done exactly that for us. Excellent work!
I never actually heard the firebat say "What the hell did they do to that Command Center?" before. Didn't know that would happen since I pretty much always massed marines in the campaign.
i'm one of those old guys who were fans from way back and watching this now before i play legacy of the void. i just realized i missed the element of being part of the cadre being addressed as magistrate, cerebrate and executor. i felt a lot more involved in the story. i ll just use my imagination for the last installment of star craft 2 i guess. would have been cooler to be a part of the hyperion crew, one of the brood queens or maybe an independent cerebrate who survived and gained kerrigan s trust or the executor or praetor who traveled with zeratul and then with artanis. now i realize what they mean when they say old games are more inclined to fire your imagination up.
This was my first game on my first own computer in my first year at uni in the UK. Holy cows man ...memories.... awesome. Especially when you would play it back then for the first time in your room with lights off and couple of spliffs. Lol. Aahhh good ol times. And the graphics. Back then they were awesome for the times. I wish though that hillbilly team from the beginning with would continue throughout the game with some really nice clips. They were funny as hell..especially when Jim takes a toke ...yeeeahhh... cheeky devil.
"And far away, on the distant planet Char, Kerrigan, the self-styled Queen of Blades, knew that her time of ascension was at hand." That one still gives me goosebumps. So cool.
i love it, thank you so much had a 70 hour work week, could barely stand on my feet anymore and then new year's party. this is a great watch from bed. loved the cut to the sc2 cinematic, too. great great job. happy new year, may all your prayers come true, friend!
Man, that dialogue at the end of the prologue is so obscure, this game was so adult for the time. The voice acting is simply the best they could have had, top tier.
Omg listening to that intro threw me back to when I was a kid. It was my 1st online game I played with the neighbors and if that didn't work we saved up and got ourselves a long ethernet cable and could play on sunny days lol. Good memories
Awesome work. Really awesome work. Played sc1 long time ago and this is a perfect refresh before legacy of the void. really looking forward to the next episode. Thanks a lot!!!
I played the hell out of StarCraft, at the age 13-14, i actually still remember cheats codes for a number of different things... "Show me the money" increased your crystal / gas resources; "Power Overwhelming" gave you invincibility, taken from something one of the Protoss forces says in game when clicked upon & select to move about...my favorite one as far as phrases is "Black Sheep Wall", which got rid of the fog of war. However; I played it without cheating the first time through, otherwise whats the point? This game brings back quite a bit of nostalgia & memories.
Destroying the Overmind was hasty. I always killed off all the other zerg first, and only then I attacked It with 12 battlecruisers and another 12 carriers.
@@malhekuba7473 Great game. Still, nowhere near Starcraft Broodwar. Starcraft Broodwar has been the greatest esport of all time in terms of following (1999-2012) in South Korea, being the most followed sport.
i came here to catch up to Starcraft II Lore, when i saw the cutscene at the 30 min mark i was sure they were moving into starcraft II and was affraid of getting spoilers for the game, man blizzard makes awsome cutscenes =)
This is exactly what i want to see from a lore video like this, no OP talking nonsense, just pure footage from the game. saddens me that from the 409k views, only 3k decided to like it. great stuff, really good job.
reading the booklet that came with the discs and then playing the game was truly a great experience! the original storyline with all its politics and character development can't be beat. those CLASSIC cinematics win.. just the right amount of darkness/humour :)
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have been wanting to know the entire starcraft story for along time but time but i never got around to play the campaigns. :D
Thank you very much for doing this, i just wanted to do it. Good i found this video first. Also +1 for including the Precusor campaign. Only you should have enabled subtitles.
I love how in the cut scene where Kerrigan is inside the chrysalis you can see a Zerg standing over her. I think that that’s Abathur because in SC2 him and Kerrigan have a conversation saying that he was the one that turned her into the queen of blades. She talks about breaking her bones, and twisting her DNA!!!! I know they didn’t have that planned but it’s cool to see they used that little tiny 4-5 second clip at 41:50 to do some pretty cool stuff in SC2
I love you, sarge! Best line in StarCraft ;D I was always confused by the line at 25:00; we haven't even seen any Protoss, aside from that big ship, but none of it was explained. Was something skipped in here? It seems like all of a sudden we're supposed to know who Tassadar and the Protoss are. All we know are the Zerg thus far, though. And the Terran obviously.
+SkyTech RTS o_O Anywhere I can get my hands on it. I'll be doing a revamped version of this, combined with all the other stuff for one epic complete Starcraft Story video. Am I missing anything else?
+SkyTech RTS Damn, I want to see that. It seems like both the relationship between Raynor and Fenix, and Raynor and Kerrigan kinda come out of nowhere. While he is a good guy and should care that she is being sacrificed for basically nothing, there was no romance aside from the quip when they first meet. And, between when he disappears for a bit and then suddenly appears on Char, he's buddy-buddy with Fenix. I think that's the sequence I'm remembering... The story seems really rushed, but Blizzard has the power and authority to make some kind of story for the entire StarCraft campaign. Maybe they are, in the form of books; I've only read one or two of them, and they had nothing to do with the main characters.
JaKaTaKtv I'm pretty sure there's some websites that you could look for. Try searching for "Biting the Bullet" and "Operation Silent Scream" on google or something. (they are the only two cut missions) I think they might also be on Staredit.net, but I can't remember. I know they're around somewhere.
Thank you. I have been looking for a version with the in-game dialogues for a long time! The cinematics from SC1 are quite patchy in explaining the story. I still remember the Overmind dialogues from playing the game 20 years ago, great to see it again!
47:35 there is a Part missing. If you go to the signal to unlock the door to the final room the Marines closing the Doors and say that you dont come out alive. i played just to much sc 1 :D
Appreciate the effort you put in, Ive wanted to revisit Starcrafts story, but I'll admit I'm terrible at RTS games now so I'd have to "power overwhelming" my way through. Much easier to digest like this, and glad you included the ingame dialogue too!
Ive been making my way through the books recently and after finishing "I, Mengsk" which was released in 2008, it pains me Arcturus never brough up that Kerrigan was responsible for killing Mengsks family, because they would have drastically changed is perspective on her, specifically when we look at SC2 and definitely Heart of the Swarm. I love the betrayal scene in SC1 and how Raynor turns on Mengsk, but i just cant help but wonder what SC2 wouldve looked like if they included that little tidbit of information.
Love the transition from SC1 to SC2 on that kerrigan scene
i don't
It was "pure art"!
You mean when Mengsk abandoned Kerrigan on Tarsonis after her unit got done with taking care of the Protoss backstabber Mengsk that was not nice
"Love" how black Kerrigan (SC) turned into white one (SC2)...but, as zerg, she turned green anyway, so screw it...
(And yellow/golden, as xel naga...so screw it twice...)
@@morienbendinelli1554 ...she...was never black?
This game is so epic. Just a timeless masterpiece
Can we appreciate Mengsk's voice actor?

Really like that line Mengsk gave: "I'm not asking you to like it, I'm asking you to do it."

"And far away, on the distant planet Char, Kerrigan, the self-styled Queen of Blades, knew that her time of ascension was at hand." That one still gives me goosebumps. So cool.

That intro cut scene was gold. Incredible nostalgia
starcraft has by far the most complex space opera I have ever seen and read.
For real. Best part is really how it ends. Because Kerrigan ends up kicking everyone’s ass during Brood War.
Well thats starcraft 2

@@malhekuba7473 Great game. Still, nowhere near Starcraft Broodwar. Starcraft Broodwar has been the greatest esport of all time in terms of following (1999-2012) in South Korea, being the most followed sport.
i came here to catch up to Starcraft II Lore, when i saw the cutscene at the 30 min mark i was sure they were moving into starcraft II and was affraid of getting spoilers for the game, man blizzard makes awsome cutscenes =)
This is exactly what i want to see from a lore video like this, no OP talking nonsense, just pure footage from the game. saddens me that from the 409k views, only 3k decided to like it. great stuff, really good job.
This is such an underutilized universe, i wish they made more stories in it
been a Starcraft fan for as long as i can remember. will always love the games, loving the graphics on the new game and expansion packs.
reading the booklet that came with the discs and then playing the game was truly a great experience! the original storyline with all its politics and character development can't be beat. those CLASSIC cinematics win.. just the right amount of darkness/humour :)
Thank you so much for doing this video. I have been wanting to know the entire starcraft story for along time but time but i never got around to play the campaigns. :D
+Nomis king np! Broodwar is up next!
Yay! I was hoping so!
Thank you very much for doing this, i just wanted to do it. Good i found this video first.
Also +1 for including the Precusor campaign.
Only you should have enabled subtitles.
Great story and it did feel like a movie, best I found, even included pizza, nicely done. Keep it up :)
Love the transition to sc2 cinematics of kerrigan at New Gettysburg :D
Somehow the story for sc1 is still better than the story from sc 2
Love the touch of adding the cutscenes - well done!
I have to say: A very good conclusion of the Story you made "JaKaTaKtv." Im enjoying much, thanks.
This is awesome... Excellent work JakaTak!!
This is fantastic, thanks a lot man!
This is awesome. You did a really great job!
"I know of you well, O Queen of the Zerg." Gets me every time.
I don't know how you had the time to put this together, but this is amazing. Haven't played the story in years and this was wonderful
I love how in the cut scene where Kerrigan is inside the chrysalis you can see a Zerg standing over her.
I think that that’s Abathur because in SC2 him and Kerrigan have a conversation saying that he was the one that turned her into the queen of blades. She talks about breaking her bones, and twisting her DNA!!!!
I know they didn’t have that planned but it’s cool to see they used that little tiny 4-5 second clip at 41:50 to do some pretty cool stuff in SC2
tassadar 😢😢😢😢😢 i loved him, he did the most amazing sacrifice
When this game first came out i thought the cutscenes/storyline were the most amazing advanced thing ever in videogames. I was 18-19yrs old
Thanks a lot for this Jak!
Star Craft is a masterpiece all over the world 🌎 hope more of this next gen find this whole lore and the games . Just pure fun and excitement
I love you, sarge!
Best line in StarCraft ;D
I was always confused by the line at 25:00; we haven't even seen any Protoss, aside from that big ship, but none of it was explained. Was something skipped in here? It seems like all of a sudden we're supposed to know who Tassadar and the Protoss are. All we know are the Zerg thus far, though. And the Terran obviously.
+KittenIgnition There was a cut Terran Mission where Raynor and Duke are assisted by Tassadar on Antiga.
+SkyTech RTS o_O Anywhere I can get my hands on it. I'll be doing a revamped version of this, combined with all the other stuff for one epic complete Starcraft Story video. Am I missing anything else?
+SkyTech RTS Damn, I want to see that. It seems like both the relationship between Raynor and Fenix, and Raynor and Kerrigan kinda come out of nowhere. While he is a good guy and should care that she is being sacrificed for basically nothing, there was no romance aside from the quip when they first meet. And, between when he disappears for a bit and then suddenly appears on Char, he's buddy-buddy with Fenix. I think that's the sequence I'm remembering...
The story seems really rushed, but Blizzard has the power and authority to make some kind of story for the entire StarCraft campaign. Maybe they are, in the form of books; I've only read one or two of them, and they had nothing to do with the main characters.
KittenIgnition Eh, the books are shit (it's fans and other writers that make the books, Blizzard just allows them to do so)
JaKaTaKtv I'm pretty sure there's some websites that you could look for.
Try searching for "Biting the Bullet" and "Operation Silent Scream" on google or something. (they are the only two cut missions)
I think they might also be on Staredit.net, but I can't remember.
I know they're around somewhere.
You've done an excellent job with this video, thank you.
Love the biblical way in which The Overmind speaks
That transistion scene with kerrigan was absolute perfection, good job on that
Thanks so much!
Thank you. I have been looking for a version with the in-game dialogues for a long time! The cinematics from SC1 are quite patchy in explaining the story. I still remember the Overmind dialogues from playing the game 20 years ago, great to see it again!
Thank you for this nicely collected storyline, :). Thanks for your work.
black sheep wall
show me the money
power overwhelming
But grea video! Love this game.
Thanks a lot. I really enjoyed this.
I dream about a Starcraft Movie...
Not enough people mention how archetypal Edmund Duke is as a character
i have never played starcraft but im watching this because the story atmosphere is so interesting and epic
29:59 that transition is so damn smooth.
47:35 there is a Part missing. If you go to the signal to unlock the door to the final room the Marines closing the Doors and say that you dont come out alive. i played just to much sc 1 :D
Used to play this game all the time round 15 years back. Was the shit back then
Amon whispered of this from the stars...He told you of ruin...Extinction...The end of all things...
You're my hero :) Your Starcraft video one of the best! A nice touch with Kerrigan martyr!
Thanks so much! It was a lot of work to get this one done, but well worth it :)
show me the money

Appreciate the effort you put in, Ive wanted to revisit Starcrafts story, but I'll admit I'm terrible at RTS games now so I'd have to "power overwhelming" my way through.
Much easier to digest like this, and glad you included the ingame dialogue too!
Ive been making my way through the books recently and after finishing "I, Mengsk" which was released in 2008, it pains me Arcturus never brough up that Kerrigan was responsible for killing Mengsks family, because they would have drastically changed is perspective on her, specifically when we look at SC2 and definitely Heart of the Swarm.
I love the betrayal scene in SC1 and how Raynor turns on Mengsk, but i just cant help but wonder what SC2 wouldve looked like if they included that little tidbit of information.
The demo is kinda wild lifelong fan never knew about it before!
Raynor sounds high as fuck in the beginning... "Heyyy, we found the plans man..." 😂
This video is very well done. Wpgg
1:26:11 Still the best way to say "bitch, you don't know shit" I've ever seen. Zeratul's sick burns are eternal.
that first part was brutal..
Well done ! How we all miss the 90s from command and conquer to og gta. Parents… they will never understand;)
