Is it just me or does Jimmy sound more like the classic one than the one we saw last year?

I hope they don't just keep the old voices, or at least give an option to have the old voices, but it would be lazy to just keep the same voices from 11 years ago.

I was actually liking some of the progress that this game was making (which is a lot from someone who thinks that the original is way overrated)... and then I watched this video. 
 
No thank you. That didn't look so good at all. Oh well, there's always another game.

How to make an RTS campaign interesting:  Give it an awesome story and fill it with kick ass set pieces.   Let's hope Blizzard takes it to the next level with this one.  (That lava surge thing looks lame to be honest)

Looks pretty, but i'm awfully worried some gameplay mechanics that are common place in RTS games today aren't in this game, even if it's things like putting your troops into movement or attack formations. It looked like at the end scene with the marines fighting those giant golem-like things could have easily benefited from that.

I'm one of the few who are interested in SCII for the campaign rather than the online. I play RTS games for the story mostly =P

New environments look quite vibrant. Has that Warcraft 3 vibe to it.
 
I know they're still in development but I'm a bit surprised that they still retain some of the voices for the units.  Meh.

According to IMDB, the voice for Jim Raynor is the same as before, but it also lists Mengsk's VA as the one who voiced Zeratul in the original. Strange.

I think they're only keeping the old voices for the classic units not appearing in multiplayer.

UGH why are the voices all so flat? Even the Terran marine lacks any energy in his lines.

one things for sure, you can't show video of an RTS and expect it to look really exciting (Except to those who are really into Starcraft).  It's one of those things you have to play for yourself.

This is sadly true.
 
That won't stop me from buying Diablo III and Starcraft II, however.

That's some really funky-sounding voice acting.  I best hope it's temporary.

new Blizzard = old Blizzard.
 
I'm assuming some of you like out-dated technology and wish D3 and Starcraft 2 look like a bunch of low-res pixels.

Blizzard never was about graphics, it was about games with soul (give poetic license please^^).

I say that they have always been about graphics.  All of their games have aged well.  The original Diablo is still playable on PC these days.  Jeez, even going back into the very early 90's with Warcraft I and II, and still being very playable today as far as graphics go and not completely being lost to the progress of time.
