The other huge benefit to this tech is what they say here:

Quote:

The core team working on Backbreaker consists of six people. In addition to that, we have a team of Behaviour Engineers (the guys that create euphoria behaviours), animators (for the morpheme animations), artists (for models, textures, lighting etc.) and audio guys. So, the total team size at any point in time is larger than six, but who is in this larger group fluctuates, whereas the core six remain the same. Even with this 'enlarged' group, the number of people working on Backbreaker is significantly smaller than that of other next-gen titles. The reason we are able to do this is that we have some of the most advanced technology at our disposal, namely euphoria and morpheme. By using euphoria, we do not need an army of animators and animation programmers creating thousands of player interactions - instead, euphoria uses the hardware's CPUs to calculate them in real-time. By using morpheme, we can graphically author how everything gels together, rather than using a large team doing all of this by hand.
