Bolting a modern-day renderer onto a pre-2000s engine isn't the easiest of tasks, and I can't help but notice some distinct framerate drops during the trailer. My only concern with the game now is that performance might be a little temperamental. Some of the vehicle designs have been subtly changed, but in all the cases I see in the trailer, I feel it's for the better, emphasizing the sleek, curved lines of the human vehicles, and the pointed, sharp edges on the alien Scion craft. The art style of the game is fully retained while all the rough edges have been smoothed down, and the textures brought into sharp focus. Personally, I'm overjoyed at just about every change they've made.
