Game engine

Will the game still be on ego or is it on a new engine?

@SteveJackson I was thinking performance issues maybe be a case off new game on a new engine that is or was unfamiliar to Codemasters after years of using EGO. Plus with WRC apparently not as popular as it once was. Im guessing the money men crunched the numbers and came up with a disappointingly smaller development budget than the team had hoped. As the game is noticeably lacking in things that doesn’t directly affect gameplay. Such as cinematic cutscenes.

Absolutely. But I also think the devs will be different because of the layoffs. Might take time for the new team to do more with less. 😇
