Why there is no top-down camera options ? Then what is exactly they were showing in Gametrailers ? It's even mention there Gameplay Montage or wuteva.

Thats is a quest that you do in charing cross station. Apparently a group of templars or hunters aren't following orders so you are sent there to take command and you do that in an rts mode similar to Commandos game.
This is the only part of the game where you go into that isometric view. The main game is still 1st/3rd person. RPG games that use isometric views are very few and far in between. All future RPG games will either be 1st or 3rd person.
Read about this quest here...

GS: We got a glimpse of the "real-time strategy quest" at the EA Studio Showcase. But what is the RTS quest exactly? What do you do in it?
IS: Basically, a templar lord named Maxim isn't the best of leaders. His men can be uncooperative or insubordinate. These particular soldiers have found themselves overwhelmed by a demon attack in an area they were commanded to hold, and they're now incapable of doing their jobs effectively. A nobler templar lord recognizes this and sends the player to directly command this unit of scrubs, and an RTS is born!
The Hellgate RTS mechanic is comparable to one of those Command & Conquer or Starcraft single-player levels where the player is given control of a small group of units without any base-building capabilities. In our game, players must use this small group of units and point and click their way to victory, prioritizing targets and moving troops as needed.
The RTS quest also carries a simple leadership theme. We try and break some of our quests up into themes, like leadership, which tie into the main objective of the game. That objective is to find five "truths" of man. Think of them as physical representations of qualities most in keeping with the "creator." Demons, of course, serve as opposites of those qualities. The truths are all nicely themed, too.
