In the information to remember, THE REX Engine will retain all the qualities of the engine Capcomwhile supporting new graphics technologies and even better managing large assets. Furthermore, it seems that Capcom in the future would like to allow third party developers to use its REX Engine.
Regarding the name, fans of Dino Crisis obviously immediately saw a link between the REX Engine and the T-Rexbut it is still good to remember that Capcom likes to have fun with titles.
