I don’t think that’s very fair. That’s like me looking @ a2 and think eww ssf4. Its 2 different era’s of programmers and you can’t really lump them together.
the tobal series was designed by a group of programmers. Once tobal 2 was completed, the tobal team then split up joining namco\sega to build up the VF\TK series. Every game after tobal 2 to contain the dreamfactory name were made by entirely different team that has access to the tobal engine.
