But I am worried that you will change the original game looks and stuff. I like the original car shop. Plz don't change it.

I think the main issue that craptops have is fill-rate limitations. Assuming you can turn off most of the fancier shader effects, I'm not worried.

I imagine it'd probably be mostly the same, but with some updated stuff to take advantage of the nice lighting and shaders in Unreal. Probably also will do a few different environments for different eras too, eventually.

Things about how the game looks will change though, they often do, as we realize how things could be done better, or take advantage of new tech. Hell, the UI design style has changed already a few times and will change again with the transition to Unreal. That's what happens when you play a game that isn't done yet.
