I was planning on getting the game for PC anyways. I'm not one who has to buy a new console right when it comes out.

If Dragon Age 3 is o the next console then why is Dragon Age 3 and what was the point of Dragon Age Orgin and Dragon Age 2?
Wouldn't releasing the next Dragon Age game tick a lot of Dragon Age fan off and stop them from continuing the Dragon Age story?

I'll get the pc ver unless I get a ps4 for the multiplayer feature. With a decent pc, I have no reason to not get games on pc unless exclusive

I'll just repost my thoughts on this-
I have a hard time believing it will be released on next-gen consoles. The "launch window" for new consoles is like 3 months nowadays and a game being a launch title adds additional scrutiny from gamers. No one wants to gamble their money on a game that thrown together in the relatively brief window of the developer getting their hands on the tech and the launch of the console. And when games were originally designed for previous-gen consoles but get ported to next-gen consoles instead they almost always end up being mediocre/unimpressive and/or buggy as all hell. It happened with the PS2, 360, PS3 Wii and now WiiU. Gamers are weary of launch titles and Bioware does not need even more scrutiny after their recent doings.
And there's the fact that Bioware has nothing to gain from releasing the game on next-gen consoles at launch or within the first 3-6 months of launch. It just means reduced sales for them. Even if they release it on current-gen and next-gen consoles the pay off would likely be small or non-existent since they would have to sink a large chunk of budget into next-gen development.
It just makes no sense to me.

Until BioWare or EA themselves announce that the game is going to be next generation only for the consoles I have little faith in an article like this especially when the source is "based on a resume for an EA Shanghai level designer that worked there for six months" all they did make an assumption based on a resume.

No, its not a trilogy like Mass Effect was, each game was independant of the previous games with just a few mentions of what happened in the previous games.

It won't be console exclusive, nor will it not be compatible for the old consoles either.
They're just going to release multiple platform versions of the game so everyone can play it.
That said, I can't believe I gotta buy a new console soon, it's been so long since I've had to do that.

I can. I seem to be one of very few people here that are actually looking forward to the next generation finally closing in. I'm tired of the current one, aside from the rare must have exclucives my xbox and ps3 are only ever used for netflix and dvds anymore. They are old creeky things that have been showing their age for a couple years now. I don't understand the mentality that it should last longer at all. Maybe its cause I'm mainly a PC gamer now and know not only have a good idea of how much farther consoles could be going right now, but also how much console games are actually holding back pc games (and will continue to do so).
It has to happen sooner or later, wanting it to come later is just procrastinating on the inevitable. None of you are gonna start saving money until you absolutely have to. That may as well be now.

The article makes certain assumptions, based on an anonymous individual that, according to the article itself, only worked with the company until earlier this year. It's perfectly logical that the game is going to be available for the XBox 720 and the PS4, why wouldnt it be? The 720 is coming out next year, and DA3 has been officially announced to be released late next year. Its also been reported that they've been looking at ways of carrying over decisions from the previous games without an actual save file. Why? Because there won't be a save file on your 720 or PS4. There are all assumptions, but logical ones. Where the article is wrong is in believing they have to delay the game to 2014, the next-gen gaming doesnt start in 2014, it starts next year. Of course there will be a version for the PS3/360 as well, it would be insane if they didn't have one since everybody has one of those, but not everyone will have a PS4/720 at the time it launches.
Essentially this article doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know, or at least 'think' we know based on basic logic and common sense. What we don't know yet, is whether DA3 will launch simultaneously with the 720/PS4 (Im guessing it will), and whether it will be a part of one of the 'bundles' they always make available when they sell a next-gen console (it sure would be nice if it was, thats obviously a longer-shot). Until more information is available, its all just speculation and guessing. Which can be fun though

Three spelling errors in one sentence from a resume? Seems legit.
I guess it has a bit more credibility than the last article I read on the subject, which pretty much boiled down to, "Bioware invests in research and development, therefore DA3 will be on next gen consoles."

Regardless of whether or not the article is true I don't see the point of console players freaking out. If DA3 is only available to next-gen consoles (and exclusivity is not something EA likes to do) BioWare still has a lot of time to work out a save transfer system. Saves as well as games will more than likely be backwards compatible on the new systems as both the 360 and PS3 have a large library of games, and both companies have a history of at least making the first series of consoles backwards compatible. There are also cloud saves that can be considered and if all else fails, BioWare can do a checklist of getting people to mark off the decisions they made in the prior titles.

Note that the article states 'rumored' and 'if true'. this means you do not have to worry about it until an actual Bioware Development team member working on the game says anything about it.

Perhaps it was a translation from his Chinese language resume?

That being said, when the next generation of consoles does come out, I suspect that all publishers will try to "force" you to buy them by, as always, making excklusives. Even if you don't want to buy a new console just for DA3, one might change their mind if all of a sudden the only new games are released for these later consoles.
I'm a Pc guy though, so I don't really care that much, but that's what I suspect what the situation will be like. As far as I know, you don't see a lot of games being released for PS2 nowadays.

Sorry Bioware.
If all the next gen launch titles are available for the older consoles as well, I imagine many consumers would not be willing to buy the new models.
People buy consoles for the games. In my case, I haven't owned a console for more than 20 years, so I have no idea how MS and Sony handled previous transitions. Do they release a lot of titles that are only available on the new models to show off the improved hardware, or is everything launched on the older consoles as well during the first few years?

No, it will be on PCs. If not, how do they expect me to buy it?

Well...
hmm...
I hope this isn't true. I expect if the new consoles are out by the release date, it'll probably be a launch title. However, there's no way in hell I'll be able to aford $600-$700 for a new console (or two, since I do usually get two..) any time soon. The price would have to cut practically in half, and it'll be at least a couple years before that happens, so if DA3 is *only* available on the new consoles and PC (which I've completely given up on, PC gaming), that would mean I won't be buying DA3 until I'm lucky to even be able to find it in the bargain bin. ... So I hope that doesn't happen.
As for exclusives, I hope the graphical enhancements would be the only significant difference between current gen and next gen platforms. If we're talking exclusive characters or that kind of thing, I'll just flat forget about buying it until I can afford the new consoles, which would be a few years later and an iffy thing in the first place. :-/
I really hope this is an unfounded rumor.

This does mean that anyone who plays with a console has to be able to afford the next gen to even play it... since many console players are such because "who has the money for a high-end PC" this could backfire badly.
