The fact is that the A8 just is extremely behind most other engines. Supercan is made with A7 and Shade C which isnt something that comes with the acknex engine, therefore to get those kind of graphics its relying on a 3rd party plugin. Come on people face it this engine lacks alot of things that would make it extremely nice and why bother paying for it when there are cheaper and even free products I can use? I have spent tons of money on this engine and I dont see it as a waste but I dont see it as an investment. Unless you have seasoned and extremely talented people then making a game with A8 is just not something I would want to try ever again.
