Update: Blizzard have released a Starcraft 2 trailer and several gameplay videos - all in georgeous 3D. The new 3D engine looks similar to Warcraft III, yet the effects look amazing. Specifically check out the Protoss Mothership animations!
It’s not that I don’t like 3D graphic but I value gameplay more. Here’s a group of guys who want to make Starcraft (the original one, not Starcraft 2) into a 3D game by using the Warcraft 3 engine.
Project Revolution is a mod that will convert Warcraft III into StarCraft: Brood War. So you’ll be able to play StarCraft in 3D. Sadly their FAQ says it’s only half complete after three years of development, but they will be doing a (closed) beta before release, possibly online via Battle.net. The team of fans, who are no professional voice actors he he, put together an impressive looking trailer of the PC/Mac mod.
You can visit their site here. Just don’t expect them to finish it any time soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if Starcraft 2 comes out earlier than this mod!
