I don't see why the choice of graphics engine would affect the visual style of the characters. If they used the crystal tools, they could probably get away with not having prerendered videos at all.

Edit: Btw, that's just talking about the production phase. Pre-production and post-production stuff adds on probably double or tripple the time.
I don't quite understand why the development of this remake would take more time than any other game of similar technical quality. I mean even if it takes a really long time to make models, textures, animations and such, you still have to do that for other games too.
