oops sorry, i kinda copy/pasted that from a reply i did on the Carmack news.

Anyway the point is that now they can actually focus on making a better gaming experience instead of obsessing over graphical engines so much (which is not a bad thing, but i think we all agree gameplay > graphics). The game looks like a refreshing change from current FPS trends and I'm curious if they can actually pull it off.

I think you guys that are unimpressed by the engine are looking at it from a totally different perspective than you should. This is not a "zomg go upgrade your computer to 8 cores 10 gb of ram and 8 SLI 8800s / phenom" engine where the bar is raised in terms of making something look more realistic and lifelike (like for example Crysis/UT).
It's a totally different thing: the point for the engine is to ease up game developing...
