It's back in development, but they haven't released a due date because they dropped a lot of resources from it's development to help with World of Warcraft when it became the uber-mad-crazy-popular-badass-game it became. But according to blizz at Blizzcon they're back on development of it.
As much as I want to see Starcraft 2, I can understand why they're in no hurry to do a sequel. The original is STILL on the shelves of every game retailer in the US 10 years after its release. It's unheard of. Why screw with success on that scale yet? I still play Starcraft more than any other game. :o
When has Blizzard ever just updated the graphics, etc. and re-released a game? They always fundamentally improve gameplay as well. The problem is, how do you improve on (possibly) the best, most balanced game ever produced? I'd wait a good long time for that standard to fade a bit more before trying it too.
Ghost is just going to put more steam back into the Starcraft franchise to let it play out for a few more years while they come out with something else great, then they'll be back to it I bet.
well then they should make an expansion/enhancment pack to redo the graphics, because as much as i like the gameplay and the game itself the graphics are seriously lacking by todays standards. Not to mention they could include a few new toys/breeds.
An idea I've always had (not to say someone else hasn't) is to make starcraft 2 have enhanced graphics, but here is the twist. Have it like it is now where you are the commander, but also have it to where you can go down to first person view and be a commander of a squadron and play in first person. This would be huge in my mind. as it would give a whole new dimmension to the gameplay.
