Infinity games did not allow zoom and rotate which has become possible 
with the move to 3d also they did not support 1080p and UHD, most of 
them afair were 480 and most of them did not have extensive speech. The 
problem there really is the artwork, less unity, which simply takes more 
space given the higher resolutions and full 3d and also that a 3d engine 
simple needs more horsepower than a 2d engine.

Not that Unity really is that fast it is one of the slower engines, that 
will change however with Unity 5.
