Dragon Age Inquisition Visual Analysis: PS4 Vs. Xbox One vs. PC, PS3 Vs. Xbox 360

"Following up on our initial analysis of Dragon Age Inquisition, we spent a few more hours playing Bioware's magnum opus across all the five platforms. We are pleased to report that this is perhaps Bioware's most optimized game till date with solid performance across the current generation consoles and PC."

Terrible website. Deserves zero hits.

[vishmarx]

because they dont share your opinion on something?
because there findings are slightly different than what digital foundry gave? you do realize that both of them are websites looking for hits and neither has 100% credibility just because they put a few graphs and numbers in their videos
or because like every second article on n4g theyre comparing consoles?

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Eurogamer/DigitalFoundry actually recorded evidence of their findings that are usually readily viewable by anyone with an internet connection gaming bolt just assumes everyone should believe them just because who every wrote the story says it's true.

There's a difference between credible evidence and hearsay and that's exactly the difference between Eurogamer/Digital Foundry and Gaming Bolt.

[OB1Biker]

Anyone following Gamingbot for a few weeks should realize its a joke of a site which has its own biased agenda. Not visiting this site ever again

[Kayant]

Hmmm no DF have some credible because they have special equipment to do analysis, that's forgetting their years of experience. Most of gamingbolt's analysis is wrong and worded for pure flamebait.

[SilentNegotiator]

No, because their (1) comparisons suck and they make (2) content that is ripped off or idiotic dribble.

(1) They constantly use terms like "image quality" in their comparisons, even claiming that lower res games have better "image quality".

(2) http://n4g.com/news/1620092... -_- Because anyone thought it would have an advantage in something as basic as audio streaming.

[GameNameFame]

Lol. I cant believe xbox fans are now saying DF is not credible, but gamingbolt is.

Just stop it and accept, man.

[PraxxtorCruel]

Not replying to you vish.

Is this the difference that supposed 50% extra concentrated juice boost offers? I mean what are we even arguing about? I own an XB1 but as always aim to get all 3 consoles and graphics wise that is all I'm missing? I can barely tell a difference. To be honest, this has actually put things into perspective for me. I'm happy with my purchase now more than ever. I somehow got the idea that 50% more power meant 50% better graphics, I appear to have been wrong.

Enjoy the games people, not the numbers.

[Unspoken]

"Anyone following *insert website name here* for a few weeks should realize its a joke of a site which has its own biased agenda. Not visiting this site ever again"

This statement was last seen being used on notoriously biased website, n4g. If you or anyone you know has seen this phrase, please feel free to use it to describe other sites which do not conform to your mentality.

*Paid for be the extremely biased association of modern gamers.

[BigShotSmoov007]

It's funny how these websites just see and report all kinds on nonsense sometimes. Gamingbolt always wants to talk about resolution and frame rate but never is spot on and completely truthful. They give all advantages to the PS4 version, with no actually video proof mind you of Dragon Age. Then you have eurogamer who gives the nod to the PS4 as far as resolution which we already knew but says the X1 gives you the smoothest out the 2 and shows video's to prove it. So who do we believe here hmmmmmm?

[Kayant]

These should be opinion pieces because factual the info is either inaccurate or wrong.

[Ctiboi2010]

Good to hear they worked hard to deliver a solid looking game on all platforms. Seems like the graphical differences are minor overall, according to the article.

[OculusRift]

Christ, CAT.. Can you just ban Rashid from this site already?(or at least stop him from submitting stories for a while? At least Until he can get act together) He never submits anything of substance and when he does, it's either a blatant rip off of DF's work or something clickbait related to kick off pointless fanboy wars in the comment section for hits to his ad ridden site. It's http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photo... to say the least.

OT:

This game is shaping up to be (Along with LBP3, MGSV:GZ and GTA 5) one of the few games this year that aren't bug ridden, broken beyond belief and boring to come out this year.

[gameseveryday]

Interesting. I have original screenshots from the PC, PS3 and X360 versions. Our comparison videos were published much earlier. DF have compared only the new and PC versions. I am not downplaying DF, their analysis are great. But your accusations have no base.

[OculusRift]

My accusations? It's not an accusation if it's true. It's all in your submissions in comment history.

[Xavior_Reigns]

Well the one thing that has annoyed me a lot is* "intersecting geometry" I believe its called. Seriously why the hell is that still occurring. (If I'm wrong on that being the word, so be it but I think you peeps should understand.)

[moegooner88]

Game is bloody great. But has plenty of bugs.

[Ezz2013]

TLOUR is bug-free too
other than that
i agree with every word you said

[starchild]

LBP3 is bug free? Dragon Age Inquisition is bug free? Could have fooled me. Both of those games have plenty of bugs. I've actually had more problems with DAI on my PC than AC Unity. I've had no issues running AC Unity and no serious bugs...just a few minor glitches with NPCs mostly and nothing that has taken away from the game very much. With DAI I've had similar minor glitches, but I've also had it crash once and I'm still getting some stuttering in parts that I haven't been able to resolve.

[Der_Kommandant]

My GOTY

[IIFloodyII]

I didn't even know this was on last gen, how rough is it? I'm not giving them clicks.

[thricetold]

barely playable on last gen, one of the worst ports I've ever been suckered into.

[jspsc123]

i remember the frame rate of origins on ps3. i still put 80 hrs into it

[Iceballs]

Since Lens of Truth left I will only trust DF on these. Gamingbolt has sucked for years, they bite off every site they can. Pure garbage.

[rev3games]

Equal versions. Great game!

[Ark_]

Equal versions - yes. Great game - debatable.

[Loktai]

OK... good game to some great game to fans of the genera/series? Is this acceptable ?

[Ark_]

Actually, no, Loktai, it's not acceptable. Especially a lot of fans of Dragon Age: Origins, and the older Bioware RPGs in general, dislike the road they are taking with Inquisition. Imo it's more of a action-adventure game - maybe a good one in this regard. But as a crpg it's subpar in many departments.

Btw: that action oriented turn for massapeal mustn't be bad per se in a series, but it's not what a lot of people exspected of a Dragon Age & Bioware game. At least I didn't. But like I said: it's all debatable.

There seem to be a lot of people, especially on the newer consoles, that enjoy the game a lot; which is great. Have fun.

[Adolph Fitler]

As an owner of both consoles...I can't choose which one I want...So, I have devised a genius plan, to come up with a solution...

First I need a hardcore Sony Fanboy, & a hardcore MS fanboy.
Second, I need them to plead there case, as vehemently & detestably fanboyishly as possible....
Kind of like a fanboy shootout on the N4G corral....

Alright boys and/or girls.... Plead your case, convince me, which is the better version to buy...XBOne, or PS4.... Whomever I deem provides the most offensive, fanboy riddled, non-sensical, wannabe tech expert-esque, rant...will mean I buy that version... GO...GO... GO...

[MasterCornholio]

You can't go wrong with either version. Both look and perform great. However from digital foundarys comparison both versions stick to 30FPS most of time with the XB1 version having a tiny advantage in some parts. On the other hand in terms of visuals the PS4 version runs in a higher resolution so the graphics look better in it.

In summary, if you value a tiny advantage in framerate go with the Xbox One version of you value a 50% increase in pixels go with the PS4 version.

I'm picking up the PS4 version once Im done with GTAV.

I'm sorry that I couldn't play the part of a hardcore Sony fanboy or a hard core Microsoft fanboy.

[CrowbaitBob]

I also have both an Xbox One and a PS4. I primarily play on the PS4 so I picked up the PS4 version.

I have a friend with both consoles and he prefers the Xbox controller in general, so he went with the Xbox One version.

So there ya go. Grab the version you want based on your own personal preferences.

[GoPanthers999]

There is clearly more detail on the left side - Xbox One per the written description.

[Gore-Content]

Here comes the fanboys crying over the results. Nothing else better to do?

[kstap33]

You just commented, so I guess you also have nothing better to do.

[qwerty676]

ps4 looks slightly better.

but just like i say in everyone of these articles. who cares, the difference is so minuscule it doesnt matter.

[Shipp81]

Coming from a company that's about to go under, thats funny!!!
