What hardware is DA3 targeting? next-gen consoles, or current gen?

With the rumours flying about a Christmas 2013 release for "PS4 / Xbox 720", I'm really curious to know if we can expect DA3 to be part of the launch titles. I've also heard that some devs out there already have SDKs... hopefully this means that the PC version won't be restricted (too much) by console hardware.

The next xbox is slated for 2014 so I'm pretty sure it's not going to be a next gen if their target is 2013.Besides that the new xbox atleast will be backwards compatible.

I guess you're right, if they target Oct 2013 it's too close for next-gen. IMHO they should wait and release a superior version in early 2014, but oh well... more crappy dumbed down graphics, physics and AI because of antiquated console hardware :-(

If its being based on Frostbite 2 and EA wants to mitigate the risk in only releasing on the small install base of new consoles, I'd imagine it'll release on both current and nextgen.

Dragon Age III: Inquisition Announced; First Details
Psst...it's for next-gen consoles!

With the game coming out next year, does that mean we're going to see the 720/Ps4 announced at E3 next year and coming out during the holidays?

might see a wii U version but not the next xbox or playstation but i'm done wasting money on conoles rather just spend money on a super power PC

heck i just bought the PC version of Dragon Age II for 5 bucks of gamestop digital download service

[KENNY4753]

I wouldn't mind it being on this gen or next. Both would be fine I think.

[KIERONOO]

I think it would be on both. But I wonder how they will implement the cross saves for the next gen consoles

[chuckles471]

Have they even sent dev kits out for the PS4/720?

I can't see it being WIIU exclusive (obvious it will be on PC), as it's not that powerful a beast and nintendo isn't famous for supporting westernRPGs.

If you look at the fact that the Xbox 260 launched a year before the
PlayStation 3, then this could mean that Microsoft might have its 'Xbox
720' out in 2013, and Sony's 'PlayStation 4' would then hit shelves in
2014.
While there is no official news about either the next-gen Xbox or Playstation,

I'm not following, How does the 360 being released before ps3 stop the ps4 from being released before 720?

My thought exactly! Also my opinion and concerns.I use a PS3. I have so much wrapped up in it $$$$ wise, Even next year I cant see dropping at least $500 on a new system just to play my favorite game. Anyone else notice the economy Sucks!! I'm sure alot of people out there feel the same as I do.If the Devs and Bioware expect to keep their fans happy or just keep them period they need to at least put the game out on current gen, then go from there after current gen, skies the limit.

The 720 is suppose to come out in Sept of 2013. Sony is waiting another year because they spent so much money on exclusive IP for the last couple of years that they have to get their money back.

I love how consoles have been holding AI programmers back for like six generations now.

Here's a tip: Coding good AI has less to do with power than it does time and effort. The 360/PS3 aren't holding back AI, good AI is just far and few in between. Also, I love how people never point out the lower spec PCs "holding back" things, because they do.

Realistically, they'll launch on these, with some sort of GOTY/enhanced version for the new ones later on.

[hexaligned]

I would happily buy a new console every two years if it meant I wasn't forced to play outdated games for 8 years. If only they would release them that fast.

I hope it will be next gen. I say that for the PC versions sake however.

[deuce985]

Probably both 360/PS3 and new consoles.

I highly doubt Bioware wants to cut the majority of where their revenue will come.

PS3/360 each have about 50 million install base(probably more). The most they'll have access to on a new console launch is about 1 million. You do the math...

New consoles will get HD upgraded versions and that's about it. IMO, the game will be designed on PS3/360 as primary platforms...unless one of the console manufacturers can cover their potential revenue gain on these systems. Which I doubt any of them will be willing to pay...

Bad economy too. People aren't going to be willing to adopt early.

Or maybe they will drop a few hundred million to make it exclusive. Who knows...still doubtful.

Wii U seems likely, it's in EA's best interests to make sure Frostbite is compatible with the Wii U anyways.

Oh, mister hardcore AI programmer, please share more of your wisdom and procedural AI algorithms, pease do!

Meanwhile...

"In general the industry expects that graphics will not be a strong
feature any more... Obviously, graphics are better for marketing
purposes because you can show things. AI you can't show."

"Our challenge with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox [360] is that we're
extremely limited in what we can do. It's a challenge for the engineers
to provide nice graphics and nice AI and nice sound with a very small amount of memory and computation time."

"We think that the next generation of consoles won't have these limits
any more. Games might have more realistic graphics and more on-screen,
but what's the value of making something more realistic and better
animated if you have poor AI?"

I'd say it's probably target xbox 360 and ps3, simply for the fact that your choices from the previous games were saved on those consoles. It'd be weird for Bioware to move DA3 to a console that would make your previous choices not matter considering how many people were annoyed with this being done in DA2. It may be available for next-gen games as well. However I think it'll definately be available for both ps3 and 360.
