Who ever said the Bioware was scraping the infinity engine?
NWN is not using it, BUT IT NEVER WAS TO USE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE, that game (NWN) was inteded to have a 3d engine all along, it started do be made after BG I come out, Also NWN IS A ONLINE RPG GAME, it does have a single player mode but its not what is inteded to be.
The Infinity engine is perfect to birds eye view games, like BG I, II, PS:T and IWD and perhaps BG III, in fact I belive that they are using the engine on the Star Wars game.
But its early to start to say what engine is going to be used on the Star Wars game, but making a new engine takes several years, so improving the infinity engine and use it makes sense. |
