While a part of me is definitely hoping for a Starcraft 2, I don't really hold Blizzard up to their previous standards. Warcraft 3 really felt disappointing, it seemed like they just sort of mixed up the races in Starcraft and threw a new coat of paint on it. Honestly, I would've been more happy with a streamlined Starcraft. And WoW I just thought was crap and I never understood what was considered so good about it, although I'll admit that it could just be because I got tired of Everquest-clones about 5 years ago. Still, I'd love to see a new Starcraft game that has the updated features of Warcraft 3 and other modern improvements (a Supreme Commander styled zoom system would be nice). But I think this announcement could also end up being a Starcraft MMO...so I'd give each a 49%/49% chance (the other 2% representing Diablo III) Most amazing jew boots |

Huh, it actually looks really nice. I was hoping they'd go for the more gritty look of Starcraft instead of the somewhat cartoony look of Warcraft 3 (I was wondering they'd use the Warcraft 3 engine actually, anyone else remember that teaser at the end of WC3 when you beat it on Hard mode?), but it seems they found a nice middleground.
Can't wait to see it in motion, if they can make a faithful transition to 3d and update the gameplay accordingly I'll be all over it. I'll just be happy that it will have all the refinements they made to Warcraft 3 (matchmaking system, unit selection, etc.). Oh, and can we tell Denicalis to shut the fuck up now? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Well, the good news about the somewhat cartoony graphics is that they largely just seem to be because of the color palletes and shades rather than entirely because of the models themselves (although some of the terran designs seem pretty oddly shaped). With a few small tweaks to contrast and saturation/color, the game looks a bit more similar to the style in the original Starcraft, for example:
