Is it the actual tile sheets you have seen or just the in-game graphics?Originally Posted by User137
It's not 3D perspective though. It merely skews the tiles towards the top centre of the screen to give the illusion of 3D perspective. As the Diablo II post-mortem (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20...chaefer_01.htm) puts it, "quasi-3D".SC and Diablo both are isometric games. D2 has even option render it with 3D perspective. Both have units rendered from certain angle not straight top in any case.
I guess that's where we differ in opinion. To me, it's only truly isometric if it is rendered with isometric tiles. If it is rendered with square tiles but those tiles are made to look like isometric, it is not truly isometric.Edit: SC is still isometric game no matter it is rendered with tiles...
