Diablo III is for real

That was my first impression too. It looks like more 3D orthogonal projection. Unless the camera was locked for the demo movie, and in a future build, perhaps the camera can be unlocked and the scene rendered from the camera's POV. What would have been really cool for the demo would be if for the first part it was locked fooling me into thinking it was DII with better graphics, and then later they showed the camera unlocked.

They have said that the camera angle is going to stay locked at a 1/3 isometric view like previous diablo games. they could unlock the camera if they wanted to having designed the levels and characters as 3d models, but they feel the game works best as it is. They have said they want anyone that can click a mouse to be able to play diablo 3 and adding in the need to mess with camera angles goes against that philosophy.
