Re: Discussion about movement in mainstream games

I would respectfully disagree. The popularity of referring to 2.5D as a fixed 3D perspective doesn't make its other definitions an anachronism, considering more recent releases such as Void Bastards, Hyperspace Delivery Service, Ion Fury, Fight Knight, Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch, etc. which use the term to represent sudo-3D projection. Try browsing the 2.5D category on steam and itch.io, or google 2.5D games and look at images, you'll still find isometric and sudo-3D games mixed in there. But I digress...
This issue of perspective is rather interesting, but would a game like swamp, which is predominantly played along a 2D axis be considered 3D if the audio representing it is in 3D? Would the definition of 2.5D apply to a sudo-3D audio projection of a 2D environment? Would the use of Mono sounds be considered analog 2D projection? Can 3D audio be considered true 3D if it can't adequately simulate sound projection from above or below? Oh, the symantics!
