That reply only makes sense if the OB engine has some serious features added that require these performances. If you want the same functionality on a more modern engine, the performance should stay the same or increase, not decrease. I don't know what they added in the OB engine that justifies a performance drop ( didn't even know there was one ), I'm perfectly happy with my ep1 functionality & performance, just saying that you shouldn't take for granted that developers need a bigger hardware budget each time unless it's justified.
Not to mention they're supporting a console which has at least a 5 year lifespan with a fixed performance budget. > Nick wrote: >> I am really shocked about this massive performance difference.
