I have an Xbone, but I know other than graphically there'll be no difference, which there shouldn't be. It really depends on how much a new coat of paint means to you at the moment.

Well, I just upgraded to a GTX 780 ti. Not for sake of DA:I, but for the Witcher. Witcher 3 you guys, Witcher 3.

 

Same here, except got a GTX 770.  I upgraded from a GTX 570 which served me very well for the last number of years.  For PC, you really could get away with a middling card as most games were designed with 360/PS3 play in mind.  I got the 770 to allow me to keep pace with newer consoles.  I would expect that card to give me a good three+ years.

 

So, what I would do is just upgrade your GPU, if you have a semi decent processor/motherboard already.  If you have a woefully old PC (my bro has an E6400 CPU and an 8800 Nvidia GPU!!), then an entire upgrade of motherboard/CPU/RAM/GPU is probably required at this point.

Go with the thought "Can it handle Star Citizen?" and you will end up a happy gamer.

 

There is the rumor that Roberts may consider making a version of Star Citizen for the PS4, so...

Not necessarily a safe assumption. If PC and console versions can be different (which they will be for various reasons), then so can previous-gen and current-gen versions. This could extend to encounter design, enemy and NPC density, for example...

 

I can't decide between PC and PS4 for DAI (or a few games this year actually)... decisions decisions!

I wouldn't buy a new console just for one game, it's not next-gen exclusive so if you've already got a gaming system I'd wait. Save up, and go PC. Used to be hardcore PS fan, switched to Xbox 360 in Iraq, (it lived longer), and then recently my husband built me a PC. I can't use a keyboard for gaming so I have a wired controller (I prefer the Razer Sabertooth as it's remappable and you can adjust the button/trigger sensitivity). But really, it's your preference on controllers. Anyhow, even with having to download Xpadder, and adjust from the way I play on console, I don't think I'll ever go back to console gaming. I have a friend with an Xbox One and a PS4, neither of them look as good as my computer. The load screens are shorter, the view is farther, the picture and combat are much more fluid. And then, there are the mods. Heavenly creations! Nay! Devine gifts from the creators that make your experience better. It's the best thing since the Racoon Tail! Just my two cents, hope it helps.

I'm not going to buy any of the next gen systems until I see more than one game i want to play, because of financial stuff, but if I had extra cash I might.  Actually if I had extra cash I'd probably get both.      

 

I did buy my first x box because of Morrowind but they had some other games that looked interesting and I had the extra money.

 

good luck with your decision.

That would be cool Star Citizen looks to be awesome..

[Oswin]

If you only want it for DA:I then I would just stick to your current console and save your money for that new PC (the game will likely cost you more on PS4 than it will on Xbox/PS3 as well).

 

I'm using the DA:I release date (whenever that may be) as a deciding factor of when to get my PS4. There are plenty of other games I'm wanting to get for it, but I'll happily wait for them. But for DA:I, I intend to initiate Day 1 crazy gaming recluse mode. 

[EVILFLUFFMONSTER]

My PS4 was a consolation because I had to spend the 1500 I had saved for a gaming PC on a bathroom, and I knew if I didn't buy something all the rest of my money would get eaten up doing work on my new house..

 

I WILL get a gaming PC, but considering most AAA titles nowadays are designed for consoles and ported to PC anyway, and the fact that PC developers are limiting modding in order to sell their own content(a curse inflicted on them by the console market), sometimes I do wonder if it will be worth getting one by the time I eventually do. 

 

We wont see the level of modding and user created content we enjoyed in DA:O (I actually had that on PC) ever again on a multiplatform game..

In all honesty, I've never felt Bioware games to be particularly mod-friendly anyhow. DA:O was the most mod-friendly game they released as far as I know. There are some modern games who do leave ample opportunity for modding, with Skyrim being the best example.

I like pc versions when I'm going to add a lot of mods.  I have the ME series,  Skyrim and Fall NV game on my pc now for this reason,  but on the whole, I enjoy the console systems just as much.  

 

I do tend to jump around to different games once I've finished it and it's just easier for me on the console.  If I truly find I love it, ME series, DA:O Skyrim and FA I  have eventually picked it up for both.  My husband also plays and this works for us.

  My extra funds for a new system has also gone into remodeling and fixing things that go wrong after years of living in the same house.   I'm thinking if my 360 dies, I'll just replace that until more games come out and then I am leaning towards a PS4 for the next new system.  Will have to see what happens.

Baldur's Gate II is like one of the most heavily modded games in the history of the known universe. Maybe recent titles, with the emphasis lately being on console play, haven't been all that mod-friendly, but Bioware games have an incredibly extensive history of modding, producing some of the most active and devoted modding communities. Up through DA:O, it was basically standard practice for Bioware to provide players a toolset for modding, so I'm not exactly sure where your sentiment is coming from.

I'm STILL finding new mods to try for stuff like Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. It's crazy.

I'm not going to buy next gen consoles until the system and a few game prices drop, but that's just how I do things. If you want your experience to be perfect and you plan to update to the next gen soon anyway you might as well update now.

I gotta say the one thing that really makes me wish I had a gaming PC is DAO. Recently tried to start a new game on my PS3 and found it nearly unplayable.  Odd... I don't remember having issues in the past.

 

But yes anyway I think the important thing to consider is that we've still got time (too much time...) to decide.

 

And I know a lot of people are saying don't buy a console just for one game, but... That's what I've done in the past and it's worked out really well. I think DAO was what I bought my PS3 for a few years back, and since then I've put the console to really good use.

[Zack_Nero]

Well, am not going to buy a new console because BioWare has said that we be able to play DA:I for the current console but without as many features or it looking as pretty.  I will eventually get a new console, but I don't really see that big of a need right now.

[NUM13ER]

I was considering Buying a PS4 for the launch of DA:I & primarily Witcher 3 as the latter is only on next gen systems as well as PC.

Exactly the first two titles I'm planning on procuring for the new gen consoles. I'm holding off buying a PS4 until the end of the year. I'm basically waiting for a better selection of games and some better prices wont hurt either.

Considering I only use my consoles for gaming and not much else, I don't want a 350 quid machine sitting there as a glorified Blu-Ray player. Early adopting doesn't interest me. I waited last generation to see which console had the titles I was more interested in. This will be no different.

[Rann]

Going with the PC angle myself; I do poorly on consoles (too many decades of PC-only gaming for me; I'm a dinosaur, alas).  I had to buy a new PC last month as my old one died, and I picked out something specifically to showcase DA:I (among other games). Looking forward to seeing DA:I on dual GTX780!

[Robtachi]

So BG (and we'll say BG II), NWN, and DA:O.

 

4 games out of fifteen (including DA I)?

 

I wouldn't call that an extensive history, personally, but that's just me.

KOTOR and Jade Empire were both extensively modded. Sonic Chronicles is a DS game, can't be used as an example. I mean frankly through DA:O, aside from Mass Effect, any big title Bioware released for PC had extensive modding support and a very significant modding community to come out of that.

[Jerrybnsn]

I wouldn't buy a next-gen console just to play a game that is also being made for the previous gen.  That tells me the game is an actual port and not designed for the next generation.  Granted, the games you buy for that next gen like DAIII can have a higher resolution than than for the version made for the last gen, but other than that I wouldn't expect any other different gaming experience.

 

I bought my PS4 last November, but I haven't played any "next-gen" games yet.  Killzone: Shadow Fall, I understand is amazing as far as graphics go, blowing BF4 ans Ryse out of the water, but I don't care the the Killzone series so I never bought it.  I kind of assumed that there were going to be these amazing games by now, but most have been kicked back for more development time.  Dragon Age is going to have some heavy competition for my money this fall.

 

So, I would get a next-gen console for the sake of next-gen games coming out, but I wouldn't get it just for the Dragon Age game which is basically a last-gen port.

It's not a last gen port if its developed for PC first.
