I love that this game is kinda under the radar. Bioware isnt getting any free passes anymore, and I cant wait to see how they come out swinging.

Chris Priestly confirmed all 4 consoles and PC on the BioWare Forums.

This really is do or die for Bioware. Looking forward to seeing what they can do when the pressure is this high.

You guys still call them Bioware. Its EA-Bioware/BiowarEA now. Its a different company than it used to be. They have some decent talent at their studios, but EA is known for not always making the best development decisions.

I have to wonder if this will be on PS3/360 or on current-gen only, considering they stated that DA:O and DA2 were a part of a trilogy and had game saves carry over in a similar fashion as Mass Effect.

[Lucreto]

It will be on the PS3/360. They said it will be on both generation when they announced it. The new current generation will have to the Dragon Age Keep to create their saves.

The platforms that will get DAI are listed in the top of the page in brackets.

I, for one, am not too excited that this is a cross gen title. Sure, it's a such safer and conservative financial decision to include as many platforms as possible, but I can't help but imagine what could be created if Bioware had the time and resources and only focus on the PS4/XB1 and PC.

If I have understood Frostbite correctly You model for high end.
Then the tool "compiles/assembles" the models for each platform.

PS3 using Blue ray could store the data of PS4.
But it can not retrieve it as effectively.
It also have less space to keep it in fast memory.
Finally it can't render, fill textures etc as effectively.

So PS3 players will get a simplified environment.
Less detail (simpler 3D models, lower resolution textures, lower resolution output, fewer filler objects - flowers...). As this happens more or less automatically, why shouldn't EA/Bioware release on PS3/XBox360?
(Sure they need to test more versions. But they get a much bigger potential market. And customers of the PS3/XBox360 version might even end up buying it twice...)
But the game play will be the same

Dat dragon. Looks great.

[Kal853]

I'm huge BioWare fan going back over a decade, but they haven't had a great track record recently. I think this is their last chance to prove they still have their rpg mojo. Seriously, I wish EA would loosen up on their reins, let BioWare do what they do, and stop turning every franchise they take over to into dumbed down crap.

[RegorL]

EA is giving BioWare alot of extra time with this release!
About one year...

[Coolicy]

I know what you mean Kal853, they've got a lot of bad press with ME3, DA2 is obviously a rushed product, and SWTOR has failed to be profitable as a subscription MMO and has turned F2P.

Fortunately, as RegorL said, EA pushed back the release date of DA:I and the game looks pretty amazing now.

I'm a big fan of DAO, so hopefully DAI can recapture some of the DA magic.
