I actually read Taintedwisp's comment the other way around the first time, which is how it should be. I think there's even an interview lying around somewhere in which a Blizzard official says something along the lines of "after all this serious stuff with WarCraft and all the depressing wars going around, we kind of wanted to do something light-hearted and decided to make this crazy universe with space cowboys shooting aliens". If anything, StarCraft is the unserious cartoonish game. The only thing 'cartoonish' about the WarCraft universe is the graphics engine WoW has. Obviously the discussion depends on what exactly we're discussing here though; the lore? The graphics? The universe by itself?
They can say whatever they want, Warcraft has always been more cartoonish.
and WoW is not Warcraft... its just a jumbled up crapfest with Warcraft skins.
Maybe They ment the tone of the story, though I would still say thats more serious too, but the art has ALWAYS been more serious. Everything about it. Thats why Sc2 seems soo much darker.
After looking at the graphics, models, gui, textures, etc. etc. etc. for Diablo 3... I wanna cry that it wasn't part of SC2

starcraft is their Realistic Sci Fi looking game, Warcraft is their cartoonish game, Those textures good for \warcraft crap for starcraft.
Well, at least WC/WoW have good ideas for data and models. And yes, Scrin, there are Diablo terrains here.
Gotten a good look at Jim Raynor lately? I think the realism ship has sailed. :P
One of the many benefits of Samwise's "hyperrealistic" aka. "juvenile" art-style.
