From interviews it seems like they aren't going to start over this next gen like they did the last/current gen. Hopefully they bring over this good and none of the bad. It's more than the hardware though. Engineers have to have the skills to make this stuff work right and look authentic. I hope Tiburon has got guys there capable.
Also the culture has got to change as I keep saying. No more easy quick band-aid fixes. No more half assing stuff. Things have to be designed with realism in mind. They can't just talk and market anymore.
