I`ve been playing the mass effect and dragon age franchises and always irks me about the games is the really awfull graphics.

Bioware appears to be consistently half a generation behind it`s competitiors. I`ve played bioware games for the story, but i tend to buy games on large part for their graphics as well.

Even Dragon age II which was supposed to have upgraded graphics looks years old already and it`s not even out yet.

Gameplay graphics look foggy with bland textures and awkward gestures. I love a good story, but if the gameplay and graphics aren`t up to par then, for me at least, the entertainment value takes a dive.

With everything that has been said about improved graphics it was depressing to find that the actual graphical difference is negligible- i doubt there will be an overhaul these last two months. Afterall the game has to enter production shortly if it`s to reach the outlets in time.

I was going to pre-order the game, but these last two weeks looking at the gameplay footage have turned me away. I`ll wait for the Eurogamer: Digital Foundry  and IGN reviews before i decide whether to actually buy the game at all.

I had hoped Bioware put more effort into designing the game- there are so many good looking games on this generation i`m left utterly bewildered as to how BioWare manages to consistently lag so far behind the curve.

If BioWare simply lacks the competence to do the design work why not stick to making stories and gameplay concepts while hiring someone else to do the graphical presentation?

It`s a legitimate question- no one has accused BioWare of cutting edge graphics- maybe cutting edge effort with outdated graphics engines, but not cutting edge graphics..

I dont' get you guys. It's like you live in a different universe than me.


ME1 = good graphics
ME2 = good graphics
DA:O = good graphics
DA2 = good graphics.

Tehy ALL have good graphics. Perhaps its the color pallete or lighting that bugs you or something. But they all have good graphics. That is not to be disputed.

This is exactly right. What we don't have are the very best graphics possible on a platform, and that's for a very good reason: we're spending our processor and graphics resources in different places.

Asking why Dragon Age doesn't have industry leading graphics is like asking to know why you can't simultaneously issue orders and control 4 crysis suit dudes in Crysis 2, because you can control 4 people simultaneously in Dragon Age 2. Different games, different focus.

Game development is about choices and priority. That said, our graphics have consistently gotten better with each title in our franchises, and we're quite pleased with that.

Warnings handed out. If you guys can't be civil to each other, you will be banned. Consider this a general warning.

Leeet's keep the ME2 discussion out of the thread, okay? Stick to DA2, folks.
