Watch the video and you’ll see why it’s not clear if O’Brien and Richter really...

Digital Extremes’ Sheldon Carter attributes this to quality control.
“This has given us time to experiment and prototype instead of making quick decisions,” Carter told IGN. With so much room to flex, last year’s...
