They've said a few times that because they are using the same engine they've had time to research the limits and stuff, and know what is fully possible, meaning less game bugs. If they'd made a new engine entirely, not only could we not expect this out for AT LEAST another year, it would still have the traditional 'new engine' bugs and wouldn't be as well rounded. Then a while later they'd figure out a whole load of other stuff they could've put in, but didn't know the engine well enough. _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side
