I have a question; my Xbox is broken and I wont get my replacement until Saturday. I was planing on downloading the demo on my PS3 as the demo comes out tomorrow, but then I heard about the in game item we would get (and now with the Call to Arm we may get two more items also). My question is, if I download the demo on my PS3 are the items locked to my EA account so that I would then be able to get the Xbox of DA2 (which I have pre-ordered all ready) and have the items transfer over or will I need to download the demo on my Xbox as well when I get it?

I'm not 100% sure but I think I read that they will unlock on all platforms, I'll check it up for you in a few min

edit: the two tomes from the are for everyone if enough persons download so you'll get them on every platform you want and the other item I'm not sure about but I don't think it will bound to the platform. Even if it's locked to the platform you can always make another runtrough on your xbox later on since it only takes 45-60 min of what I've heard and the item will be able until may 31 2011.

So I suggest you just enjoy the demo. After you have played it trough you could check on your account if you have got it for all platforms

 This is what I had on DirectX11 Very High..

Varric, Cassandra and both

Not the best pictures but its too fast for me to take good pictures..

i don't know if that demo is really enabling the changes. the things DX11 should be doing like smoothing jagged points making more belieavable spherical objects, like varric's necklace. i'd imagine the beads would perfectly spherical with DX11.

Thats silly..if I can choose DX11 and nothing happens..have to try DX9 now..

Bioware, trough mister Evil if I'm not wrong, have said that the demo won't have DX11 features enabled. They might have left the interface bottum unlocked by a misstake or they didn't think it was necessary to lock/remove it on the demo.

So I'm affraid you'll have to wait until the full version is released to see the DX11 features

Something is happening though, I get a fps decrease from around on DX9 ~90 fps to ~60 fps when I check DX11 and High settings in the config tool.

Well as I said in a previous comment, I haven't played the demo, so I might not be the rigth person to say what they have done or not but to quote Chris Priestly :

4 - Will it show off DX11 effects on the PC?
DX11 features will only be available on the PC purchase copy of Dragon Age 2.[/list]

if you don't belive me go to the Dragon Age 2 Demo Announced topic and read the first comment from Priestly - http://social.biowar...index/5920884/1

Oh I believe you, but DX11 is clearly marked in the ingame options now, and as said I lose about 30 fps, but I can't really tell the difference, there's no tesselation that's for sure.

DX11 features may be disabled, but the DX10 features are most definitely present in DX11 mode. First screenshot is DX9 with maxed out settings (high quality), second screenshot is DX11 with maxed out settings (also high quality). If you don't see a difference... well.




(DX11 mode has Ambient Occlusion and cloud shadows that rapidly move across the landscape)

*cutting all the crap*

I guess Ploppy just mentioned why you have a 30 fps drop when you enable DX11, but to bad that we can't see the difference before the game is released

I can't tell much of a difference outside of the lighting being improved, but I do get a 33% decrease in FPS from DX9 to DX11.

Hawke's beard shadow is much crisper in DX11 mode.

Hmm, DX9 looks better than DX11 in my opinion, which probably means that choosing DX11 in the demo causes incorrect rendering because DX11 is disabled.

If DX11 is disabled, why does selecting it make a huge difference in lighting? You may subjectively prefer the lighter tone of DX9, but there's nothing wrong with the DX11 mode as it's implemented in the demo.

Then it's incorrect, light will pass between the bristles causing a soft edge shadow.

Edit: oh was looking at the wrong pictures since you have gotten far better answers then I can give you I'll just remove this one :happy:

Now you're just trolling.

[sage_viper]

Kinda bummed that I have to actually sleep tonight in order to play the game tomorrow while Xbox gets it after midnight =/

Oh well, I'll deal.

I've only just noticed this. What the hell? When this thread first went up I swear there was no drawback to being Silver, I tend to check those things, but now we have to wait a week? Well, that is just incredibly disappointing.  

[The Elder King]

Priestly corrected the Silver delay few hours after he created the thread Yeah, it's disappointing, but it's more MS fault.

Go and buy yourself a one-month Gold subscription at Wal-mart or Target...or some other store that sells games.  They're like $10, I think if you don't feel like waiting a week to play the demo.

...Why would the devs have a demo that doesn't show off how good the game can look I'll never understand.

[WhatRedLight]

So now I'm going to have to get Xbox Gold if I want to download it tomorrow. Thanks. Thanks a lot. [/sarcasm]

Probably to give all posible buyers a teaser of the story and the new gameplay of dragon age II. But I can understand why the graphic bothers you, they would probably gain more by showing of how awesome it can look

[Wildman72]

Can't wait to try it

I am in the same boat you are in. I did not see this "little issue" earlier myself. If I were you, I wouldn't waste the money for a 45 min demo. I can think of better things to spend $50 on.

There is a chance I won't bother with the demo now. I haven't quite decided yet. It's not like one person will make a difference in their quest for 1 million. I am sorely disappointed though for sure.

[ghazzy118]

Crud....9am PST?!!! WHY?!!!! WHY NOT A MIDNIGHT RELEASE!!! DX



Was hoping for a late night run...Oh well, I guess I'll just play it when I get home from school and work tomorrow :<

[00_Gundam]

how long until the demo is out?
