No.
Lighting effects = realistic
Physics engine = realistic
Brighter lights/darker darks = realistic
3D models = realistic
Unit shadows = realistic
Occlusion = realistic
Perspective = realistic
Death animations = realistic
The graphics are NOT cartoony, that's just your damn nostalgia talking. If you take an objective look at a lot of the things in Starcraft 1, they made NO sense thanks to the poor graphics they were alotted. In a solar system where the planets have no atmosphere (judging by how Terrans have to wear space-capable suits), sunlight should be far more intense, therefore resulting in brighter lights. Darkness in space is NOT realistic unless they're fighting on the dark side of a planet, THEN I would understand.

This is a cartoon
SC2 isn't a Cartoon, nor Cartoony...

After seeing the Stargate, I've started feeling a lot better about SC2's graphics, but hey, I still seriously think they need to change the seige tank mode.

it will be more about feeling that appearance. Appearance changes after first impressions.

I think things being remotely out of proportion (ie big arms and whatnot) that gave WoW and WC3 the sort of cartoony feel can be seen just a bit in SC2, at least so far I can see it. The only thing I'm bothered by is the slow motion explosions.

The zealot attack animation is very cartoony, looks like he throws himself off balance with every swing of his sword...

The non realistic things regarding graphics are what made SC. You gotta love when zerglings and hydralisks die, they explode instead of falling down and leave a blood pool 3 times bigger than them. Same for goons. Those types of things made the gameplay funner.

Best photoshop ever....
I like this one too
Edit: because im an idiot..
I HATED the siege tank the first time I saw it. While the motion has grown on me (the quad track planting at all 4 corners), I think the large, un-cannon like nose thing looks very un-gunish. Perhaps they could split it down the middle, to make it a two barrel... I dunno. As it stands, it looks like it shoots a frisby.

fix the tanks!!!!!!!!1 and i dont really like the zergling but they are ok.
|
What exactly are your people's definitions of cartoony? Not meant to be a pointed question, just out of curiosity. I'm wondering how exactly people judge something to be cartoony...
|
when u change in 3d, and the object corners r not sharp. it would look cartoonish. so far the worse graphics is terran, zerg mutalisks looks exactly like undead gargoryles....

Which one is more cartoony?
