Blizzard has released a short video showing off a few of StarCraft 2's new and improved death animations, including 'splodings, squishings and old-fashioned scorchings.

Blizzard has yet to announce a release date, though signups are currently open for the beta beginning this summer, which will "signal the final stretch [of development]."

What, no dead bodies littering the battlefield? They just fade away?

Yes the game is aimed for the lowest common denominator but I want to see an option for massive fields of the dead from many skirmishes.

What's with all the crappy Blizzard videos these last few days? First that terrible imps video for Diablo 3, and now this. For a company that normally does such professional work, they're now putting out these poorly edited alpha-quality tech demos. I've seen better fan videos on youtube. Bleh.

People say Blizzard's game look great because of their art style. I think that the characters and world animation are really what stands out and make it look so great even after all those years (In World of Warcraft and Warcraft 3).

The Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 animations are even better.

I don't even bother watching these anymore, knowing too much kind of spoils the experience of playing it the first time.
