You're misreading what he said. He wasn't referring to the game itself when he said clean house. Thats obvious because the very next question he says:


I think we're in so much better of a place today than we were in the last transition. Mainly because a lot of it is not a re-write, and the pieces that are re-writes, we're building a lot of those foundations now. These technologies that you're seeing are scaleable. Very scaleable.

Edit: On topic, more info can't come soon enough. Wondering what exact changes there are this year. So far so good, looking for a lot more though.

I think this is the first stage of this implentation. They will probably build on this for the next few years until all areas of the game are physics based. This makes the most logical sense as far as I can see... I am really holding out hope that this is the case

If it makes you feel any better we (CE guys) don't know what it is either. :/

So,it sounds like they are taking this engine into the next gen. Great!!! So, anyone hoping for a fresh start and a new and improved (cough..real physics...cough) engine are going to be disappinted.
