Is CU isometric?

in Camelot Unchained

I hadn't previously seen any gameplay or even engine demo, so I went poking around. So I found this, and it's really old, I know.

So, I know they've added more races and classes so there is more variety to the toons. Is this game isometric, then? I really don't like isometric in my mmorpg. I'm prejudiced this way. If so, it's more of a "UO game" than the "DAoC" people seem to think it is, at least in conversations I've had.

    Isometric mmos are 3d. You're not being helpful. UO, Albion, Lost Ark, Marvel 2015 are all isometric mmos.

    edit: Does it look like Diablo? It's isometric.

    further edit: and I don't want wiki links. I want to see what it looks like when someone's playing the game.

    Isometric is 2d, presented in a way that it creates an illusion it is 3d.

    Now we're splitting hairs, but for the sake of argument, ok... explain that engine demo in my youtube link, then.

    If "splitting hairs" is now a euphemism for being correct... so be it.  In either case, Cameot Unchained is not isometric.  The video you reference is a very early engine demo from almost two years ago with little to no relevance to the pre-alpha game I tested yesterday.

    I think I see what people are saying. I see how it's not isometric. You can pan the camera all around 360 degrees, etc.

    Did you bother looking at the other videos on that channel you found that one at? There is very early "in-game" footage from last summer...

    Not sure if they've come straight out and said yes/no to being isometric, but I'm assuming not as it should be fairly obvious looking at what has been revealed with gameplay, character models, mechanics, etc.

    It will be a "normal" MMORPG camera and gameplay style game.

    Do some research ;)

    NO this video does not mean the game will have two separate screens. Just had to include that, since you seem unable to, well, read a title and description of a youtube video.

    Yeh, now I have now that you prompted those were available. I  looked and all I saw was the guy talking in several.

    This one, I think, is what you mean.

    Settle down, Andre. I know you smell blood and thus must bandwagon. I am looking into it, and I'm asking questions. Now I understand. You can take a cold shower, now.

    Not trying to make a fight. Anyway, I made a post a while back about the character models. It is kind of hard to get to on their website.

    Personally, I love the looks of those models. Just looking on the armor physics. I want!

    I am not a backer of the game, but I have considered to do so. 

    It is worth plenty of looks, from what I have heard and seen of it.
