The problem is that they'll start finally start producton of the game, 
and release it well out of the engine's generation; this results in, 
simply, a dated game.  Considering all teh hype about this game, it HAS 
to look good, even if it plays like gold.

Unless they coughed up the serious dough for the jaw-dropping Unreal 3 
engine license, I think that they should count their losses and put the 
puppy to sleep if they are indeed shooting for something as farfetched 
as a 2008 bullseye.  You can only hype a franchise so far when the 
original games weren't terribly popular to being with (might incite 
flames with that, oh well).

It's time like these where I question how game compaies can pay the 
bills through and through.
