That was interesting, thanks for the link.

I can see what he means, although, I don't think we'll see new engines ditching the API's in the next two years, even if it's the best way to move forward. It may be 4-6 years. Considering there is another console cycle approaching, and companies have too much invested in their current engines to just start over. But then who knows, Crytek mentioned their next engine is much better than the one in Crysis, so maybe there already doing this?
