Godot for AA/AAA game development - What's missing?

Mircosoft Game Dev

using data oriented algorithms to process the culling of objects and both secondary command buffers and automatic batching to efficiently submit the draw primitives. Is solving these problems enough for Godot to become a top AA / AAA game engine? This mean that the tools provided, while certainly capable, are still game neutral.

Setting the Mood: Exploring Lighting and Mood in Game Art 

iXie gaming

Lighting changes in the game as you play, making the environment more interactive. This makes the game run faster since it doesn’t need to calculate the lighting all the time. Optimize your lighting by using techniques like Levels of Detail (LODs) and culling. Additional Techniques Real-time Lighting. Iterate and Test.
