I already said like 3 times that early 2018 would still be launch window for the next console. I also explained why they could make a new one in 3 years instead of 4. and what "new graphics and complexity" are you thinking of? you can't go far from where xeno x is, more polygons overall and higher resolution is the most I can think of. |
Unless you want to anchor the sequel in the technological baseplate of XCX, a next gen sequel would likely be expected to push the technological envelope further with new techniques; physically based rendering, displacement mapping, voxel cone tracing, etc.
This is all new stuff for Monolith; not only will they have to learn it all, but they'll probably have to either heavily upgrade their game engine or build a new one.
