i doubt the action is only on a 2d plain as the original wing commander (from what i remember) isn't that way.
i think what is happenning with this is that the graphics style is channeling the old games. my roommate pointed this fact out that if you look at some of the other shots (of the large capital ships) it looks very similiar to the original games.

I think the whole point is that this is not going to be like the previous Wing Commander games. EA's statement on the game makes it sound like they're going in a new direction rather than following the same formula. "The game introduces the classic franchise to an arcade-style experience"
The others were all in-cockpit flight games, weren't they? This one you can see the player's little ship in the middle of the screen. You can tell which one it is by looking at the radar and where the other ships are positioned.
The style, ships, and everything look like Wing Commander, as they should, but I think the gameplay will be in 2D.
