It finally hit the presses. Starcraft 2 is in development. Sadly to say, I'm just not one of those people that are all that excited out this. Its way too early to bash SC2 too much, but here's my thoughts:
Do we need it? With Dawn of War, Supreme Commander, and C&C stepping up to fill the Sci-Fi RTS void that was left from years of Starcraft neglect, I'm not sure what Starcraft can add to an already established genera. I'd feel this way too, if another Dune RTS was announced, so its nothing against Starcraft.
Starcraft 2 = Warcraft 3. Warcraft 3 was not a better RTS experience then Warcraft2. Rather it helped develop the Warcraft Universe by adding more races and deepened the storyline. WC3 cemented the foundations for the MMORPG World of Warcraft, blizzards biggest money maker. Expect a new race for Starcraft, and deeper storyline as the concrete is poured for a new MMORPG. Do not expect great gameplay elements.
Better graphics don't equal a better game. Ever. A plot and good storyline doesn't hurt though.
