I'm all clear on what is what, Kain; no worries :)

They have already said that they don't want to abandon last-gen, so it makes sense that Comet exists. If it turned out that Unity was actually being ported to last-gen as 'Comet', then they would be going back on their word with "Next-gen starts here". It must be a new game.

I would imagine that it will still be on current-gen though, so I'll most likely get it on that, as there would be no point getting a lesser version. What I wonder is if they will be making Comet specifically for last-gen or for current-gen. If they made it for current-gen specifically & then ported it, they may as well have ported Unity onto last-gen because it will still be a lesser version with less features & worse graphics. Either way you look at it, last-gen suffers. If the game is made specifically for last-gen, then it is held back by the hardware, making it a lesser game than Unity. And if it is made for current-gen & ported, it will lose many of the features & still be a lesser game than Unity & the current-gen version of Comet. I feel sorry for those who haven't upgraded yet :(
