BioWare at PAX Prime

http://www.dragonage...re-at-pax-prime

 

 

It’s time to pack our bags and head to the Pacific Northwest, because the last big event of the summer is upon us: PAX Prime! We’re excited to bring Dragon Age: Inquisition to Seattle and give attendees a closer look at the game before it ships in November.

We’ll also have a brand-new demo ready to play exclusively at the Xbox Booth (#412)! Meet our producers, get your burning questions answered, and be the first to play Dragon Age: Inquisition multiplayer content! The Xbox booth is open 10-6 Fri/Sat/Sun and 10-3 Monday.

We’d like to thank our friends at Microsoft, AMD, and Logitech for sponsoring our show this year, and we look forward to seeing all your smiling faces at the BioWare Base (Room 2AB north).

@GrantGMackay Everything is so blurry. I thought I fixed that DOF bug.

 

Grant Mackay ‏@GrantGMackay 13s

@meliavir it's not the DOF, it's the innate magic of PAX forming a delicate mist over my camera lens.

Hello Seattle. Let's do this thing!

 

you knooow...I hear that that Bearded Tongue Grass is legal in Seattle these daze.....cheers.

[ElitePinecone]

I think the "new demo" line refers to the new MP demo at the Xbox booth.

 

Also, cool MP UI!

[Vaan]

Will these demos at PAX be streamed or something like that?

[Hellion Rex]

I think the "new demo" line refers to the new MP demo at the Xbox booth.

 

Shhhhhhhhh, cease with your lies! The SP demo must be new!

[Hrungr]

Meaning they're re-using the gamescom demo for PAX? Hmmm. I mean, it definitely makes sense from a time-management perspective, but it's slightly disappointing.

 

On the other hand, it's not too long to wait before we have the game ourselves anyway, so there's that.

 

Edit: Just saw the press release mentions the demo is "brand new", so I guess it just hinges on the definition of "new" here. Either way, not long to wait before it gets figured out!

 

Maybe the "new demo" is the multiplayer one? We'll see tomorrow!

 

(or... what EP just said.)

[Jazzpha]

Ahhh, that would make sense.

 

Although if the Gamescom demo is going to be shown in HQ resolution later on in the day, I'd still be very much interested in watching that!

[RynJ]

Shhhhhhhhh, cease with your lies! The SP demo must be new!

 

Well if it isn't, it has to be more of that Gamescom demo than we've seen before, right? I mean, it's an hour long presentation!

Holy crap, that's a lot of demos and panels. I wonder if each MP panel is just a repeat? The demos probably are, but you don't usually have repeated panels.

Aaryn Flynn ‏@AarynFlynn 46s

@GrantGMackay Great stuff! Good luck with everything and we're excited to hear updates

[andar91]

I'm kinda hoping for a new demo for the SP too.

 

I would think it wouldn't be difficult with the game being as big as it is, but no idea what goes into demo makin'.

Sadly lots of effort goes into a demo push. A preview demo a la E3 and Gamescon is less effort (but still a fair amount) while a playable demo takes a team generally a whole sprint to work out. They have to branch out the code from the last stable state, then fix all the regression bugs that still existed then (and might not exist now, so it can almost be considered wasted work towards the final product), then extensive QA to ensure the experience is acceptable for end users. It is a big effort.

Jos Hendriks ‏@Sjosz 6s

And then I just casually walked by @TychoBrahe and PAX is so surreal.

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw 10s

Ut oh. The Art Director just went 110% full Rock Opera for about 3 minutes there. That's how you know we're almost done.

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw 10s

...and @Sylvf1 just closed our office door to protect herself. Wisdom.

 

Neil Thompson ‏@NeilEJT 5s

@Mike_Laidlaw he does that ALL the time...

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw 9s

@NeilEJT But rarely with this much verve or duration.

 

Sarah Demone ‏@LittleCyster 5s

@Mike_Laidlaw ...I can't believe I missed that.

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw 8s

@LittleCyster I'm shocked you didn't hear it, even across the building. It was pretty loud.

 

Neil Thompson ‏@NeilEJT 7s

@Mike_Laidlaw I expect that every time! Must address this in his next 1to 1...

Yeah, I meant a preview kind. Like, they play the game and we watch.

 

I don't expect a playable demo or anything.

[Sylvius the Mad]

Seriously, Hrungr, teach me your ways! How do you paste the tweets without weirdness, with the usernames linked, so quickly??

When I do it, I quote a post containing a tweet from the same person, delete the quote tags, and paste in the new content.

[Hrungr]

Łukasz Krawczyk ‏@IlidanDA 

Please. Cassandra new images

 

David Hulegaard ‏@HulegaardBooks

yes. She's on the list.

[The Night Haunter]

That is mostly on the QA team themselves, plus BAs and POs to find a good gameplay segment and run through it in a fashion that is known to be bug free. It isn't difficult, but it does take some important people out of the loop for a while as they work on this. Unlike a playable demo it doesn't require a stable bug-free build, but it is made easier by going back to a relatively bug-free build.

Will we see the DAI interface on PS4 soon? I guess it's very close to the Xbox one, but I'm curious about it...

 

Mike Laidlaw ‏@Mike_Laidlaw

It's pretty much identical, just the button legend is different.

@bio_derek @AllanSchumacher I wonder if EA has a deal to release DAMP DLC first on Xbox One?

@timtheclassic1 @AllanSchumacher No, all MP DLC will be released for all platforms at the same time
