I'm going to be disappointed then next-gen as every new SC video looks a bit more dated to me :)

Of course you don't need to rebuild the whole engine, just the rendering pipeline... Chris Roberts won't let tech get ahead of his game and voxel-based whatever is not going to be good enough. Hopefully all the textures don't have to be redone for new material shaders.

Hard to take you seriously when you make statements like: "Voxel based whatever" is, either you don't care or you don't understand what it is and it's implications. - So please do elaborate on why it isn't "good enough" and what an appropriate alternative might be.

In some cases you don't need to rebuild the entire rendering pipeline either, just an aspect of it like lighting.

It won't be good enough for Chris Roberts as it's old tech, no longer next gen tech. It's been 7 years since the original design of the rendering pipeline. New ways to render things more realistically will get his attention.
