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.

There was an engine change just a couple of years ago from CryEngine to Lumberyard (Lumberyard is a fork of CryEngine anyway). - StarCitizen is also updating it's engine in accordance to it's needs and Amazons engine update cadence.

Point is, the engine is already using advanced techniques, many of which won't be seen until the next console generation.
