Sexy engine?
You mean fugly low tech and 6 years out of date engine right?
Those low res textures, those fugly and slow dx9 shaders (overload of them to hide the horrid textures) the low poly models (excusable in 2007 or so not in 2013). Need I go on?
No no no they need to make a NEW engine. Not reuse the one they had bouncing around for 7 years+. Because this one has NOTHING sexy to it.
I completely agree. X Rebirth's graphics are already outdated and the game was just released. To keep building upon it would be a mistake.
If you think I'm confused, wrong or stupid, just take a look at Space Citizen's engine, for example, and judge for yourselves.
Those kind of engines (high resolution textures and relatively high polygon count in models, plus DirectX 11 features) will be the standard of the future. It already is in various games like DCS World and some of its modules, Batman saga (specially Origins, which looks amazing), Rome II: TW (with a good rig, battlefields and units look great), Metro:Last Light, etc.
Many people would benefit from a raise in standards regarding graphics quality... X Rebirth's graphics are a blatant crime in interiors and just ok in exteriors. You should consider other games out there before saying X Rebirth's engine is sexy.
