sc94597 said: The game engine is probably the same that they used in XBC:X, which makes this not unusual at all, considering Monolith's record on the Xenosaga games, and that was when they were a smaller studio. Xenosaga EP 1: Released Feb 2002 (Japan) Xenosaga EP 2: Released Jun 2014 (Japan) Xenosaga EP 3: Released July 2016(Japan) Although Xenosaga EP 2 was pretty bad, so hopefully quality is not affected (they have better game mechanics in the Xenoblade series, so probably not.) |
From what we have seen I would say it certainly looks like the X engine, though upgraded in a not insignificant way with better lighting, a better grass solution, etc.
It could be that they had a team working on XC2 since midway through XCX's development too, so it's not as fast as it appears.
Also, think you messed up your XS dates :P
