It's hard to question a decision like this one from a business standpoint. Sure, it's not Starcraft: Ghost or World of Starcraft, but given the sales potential for the required effort you can't fault them for it. It's a disappointment that this is not World of Starcraft - which many were convinced was coming and may still be coming - but hey, I still play the original. I'll pay to play the sequel as well.

Well, unless you take a risk--and with Blizzard's clout, money, and personnel, who better to take a risk--you just get more of the same. Hey, the cinematic looks awesome but the game seems more like a remake for the new graphics cards than a real sequel. Why mess with success?

Even after all these years, Starcraft is still awesome. I hope they go forth with well thought out steps, ala Valve. Why mess with success? Even after all these years, Starcraft is still awesome.

I seem to recall upwards of 7 races announced, then there was going to be a Dwarf race, etc. I think it's unlikely that they would leave the gameplay unchanged, though it'd still make them millions of dollars. There will probably at least be some hero characters with RPG elements added to them. Some non linear choices would be nice. With games like Spore on the horizon, it would be a bad idea to get lazy now. Well, I remember the plans for Warcraft 3 changing drastically from the first press to its release.
