4:00 - really simple for ppl who are clueless but think they know: Isometric CAMERA is different from Isometric view which is different from isometric graphics. Ppl are ALWAYS talking about Isometric CAMERA - which is the 45 degree angle which is what everyone references - your welcome
Cohh! If you kept reading there is a whole section in the wiki page about the misuse of the term isometric, which says exactly what you have been. It even lists Divinity: Original Sin as an example of a game that is NOT isometric.
Isometric CAMERA is what everyone is talking about, not graphics or view. Cohh is wrong. Isometric CAMERA is the 45 degree angle - which is iconic of arpg's - anyone can google isometric camera and get that same result. Wiki's are for ppl who know how to read & apply them
"Isometric is 2D graphics which just looks like 3D" - but isn't that all graphics in games and tv? I mean, my screen is flat, they are not really 3D pictures, just illusion of 3D, but in reality it all is 2D... ;) -- Anyway, I realised first time in my life (because of that wikipedia text) that word "isometric" is connected with word "symmetric". One reason for that is fact, that in my language "iso" actually is word and means something, and "metric" is of course standard for measurement. "Isometric" didn't made any sense in my mind as a name of thing...but lot of naming does not make any sense. So, nothing unusual.
google isometric CAMERA - 45 degree angle - thats it, 2d/3d is irrelevant. wiki's are for ppl who understand how to apply them, most ppl dont. camera is different from view which is different from gfx...cohh makes up his own rules often...he doesnt know what hes talking about
