Who knew!? The fart comes at the 6 second mark. And then the zergling keeps farting.
Hopefully the guy who made the recording had a big bean burrito when this was performed.
Now, how to explain the infestor? Perhaps the guy doing the zergling, after eating the big bean burrito, ran to the Blizzard bathroom. And then they recorded the Infestor while his body was removing the burrito from him. What else could this sound like?
Is Blizzard losing their mojo? The company was famous for the quality of its sound effects. But the Starcraft 2 sound effects aren’t very good. Blizzard is dropping the ball entirely with the Zerg. Who wants to play with farting zerglings or infestors who need to use a toilet?
In the first Starcraft, Blizzard made a heavy emphasis on sound and music and let the graphics slide. When Starcraft was released, the media panned the game’s graphics. A musician friend of mine who drew the correct stick to review the game was astounded, however, at the sound quality.
Ironically, Starcraft outlasted all those other RTS games that had ‘better graphics’. And, more ironically, Starcraft 2 appears to have emphasis on the graphics instead of the sound quality.
Every classic game I have always found to have fantastic sound and music with no exceptions. Tetris? Fantastic music. Mega Man 2? Same. Super Mario Brothers? Yup. Warcraft 2? Oh yes. Command and Conquer? Red Alert? Yes and yes.
While the game is still beta, it is not a good sign if Blizzard intends to ship SC 2 with such bad aural effects.
