I can't afford to upgrade my PC... it can run most direct X 11 games just fine. And I can run WoW/swtor on medium to high settings with a decent frame rate. But it's subpar for Battlefield 4, I think the processor and graphics card are a bit weak. And if I upgrade those, I'd need a new power supply. No thanks! So we bought a ps4, which... I'm sure... will eventually get some use out of it once more games come out. I've been hearing that it can run most of the games that are out for it at 1080 with 60 FPS, I imagine DA:I will be no different, which is a bit better then the xbox one. But to each their own. It's such a nominal difference. At least the xbox one is going to be bundled without a kinect now, and it'll match the ps4!

 

I personally don't care :P we have a 360, two ps3s, a ps4, and our PCs. I love all equally <3

Well, bought a PS4 this week so I plan to play on it. My PC do very well with most of the games we have today, but it's only a 2Gb GTX 660 TI and Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3) recommends 3Gb vRAM. Didn't test because I don't like shooters, but I'm used to play Dragon Age on consoles.

 

Played last week Dragon Age Orignis both on PC and PS3 again, even with a PC way better than the PS3, couldn't see a huge difference on graphics as people say. So I guess to PC's DAI look much better than the PS4/XOne versions, you should need a very powerful PC. As for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, should be weaker in graphics, but just that.

PC version for me. Plus on PC you can use a controller too if you want to. And you can connect your PC to your 84" 4K or 1080p TV too if you so desire. Not that i'm a master race or anything, the only reason i get a console that would be for the exclusives. I'd go for PS4 if console version is what you are asking for.

Just wanted to add that you guys shouldn't hold you breaths for 60fps on PS4/XB1.

 

It's possible, but highly unlikely. Especially if the game is going to render at a higher resolution on these consoles (which I'm 100% certain it will).

 

Personally, I'd be perfectly happy with 1080p/30fps (or close).

If I were you and trying to decide between both versions, I'd preorder both. No store that I know of requires you to put down the full amount on a preorder and you can cancel one of them closer to release when more information is available.

 

Personaly, I'd preorder the PC version in a heartbeat if Bioware confirmed controller support but for some reason bioware has refused to support them in their other PC ports.

That videocard should run decently, the only thing is that you can't run on BF4 some max settings that requires the 3 GB memory. Honestly, I don't understand why the devs insist on us having 3GB vidcards, they are not precisely cheap.

 

I'm getting a 750 ti (2 GB card) for this game, and I think your card could run this too.

The Hard Truth

 

 

 

That said, unless you have a distinct preference for one controller over the other, I'll bet the experience will be identical on XB1/PS4, (any technically measurable differences will be imperceptible to the human player) and better on the PC only in the ways that the PC is always superior to consoles.  :lol:

 

Well... if the PS4 will run in 1080p/60, like most games on it do, and Xbox will be lagging in one department, like most games on it do, than you'll actually notice it. Although it's not conscious, you do notice whether or not you're playing in 60 or 30 fps..

Well, I'd get it on the Xbox due to finding both PlayStation controllers and keyboard-and-mouse atrocious. The PS4 is slightly better than the Xbox in terms of power, but it would likely be a negligible difference, if Watch_Dogs is any indication (it will run at 792p on Xbox and nine-hundred-something on PS4, 30fps for both systems).

 

If you already have an overall preference for either console, get it on that one.

Now what I wonder about how is how the game will be played with a Controller, is it closer to something like Dark Souls, Kingdoms of Amalur, and so on and so forth?
or Will it seem more clunky than having a keyboard and a mouse. Well at least one would assume it would be during tactical view at least.

 
I started playing the Dragon Age series on the PS3 and later switched to PC.
For me personally, Origins handled better with a mouse and keyboard, while Dragon Age 2 was more fun with a controller.
I'm happy that Inquisition will have native controller support, because I purchased a plug-and-play gamepad for my PC recently. Still. I'll try both keyboard and controller to see which one feels better, since Inquisition's combat is supposed to hit a halfway point between Origins and 2.
 
Sometimes I feel like the only person who liked the PS3 controller. So comfortable!

The PS4 does NOT run most of it's games in 1080p/60fps. It has so far been getting closer to it then Xbox One (and some games where there are different trade-offs on different consoles - Thief, CoD Ghost eg), but saying it's doing it in most games is a gross misrepresentation. I do admire Sony's PR for pulling of a coup this time - it's almost on Apple level.

 

Anyway, back to research on whether my 560Ti will run DA:I at anywhere near what I would want it to. Most likely not. :(

Since when does a controller make a difference? Okay Xone v PS4 I get it. But you can plug in a controller to a PC... so, what was your point? Cause it seems to me like fanboyism, and we should keep that off the forums. And also I beg to differ. RPGs on controllers are usually much worse than Key/Mouse. I actually prefer most games on Key/Mouse.. but it's a matter of preference I guess... whatever the case, key/mouse is not atrocious, and neither is the PS4 controller.. the only way it is atrocious is if you're not used to it..

I've not been keeping up on the PS4, nor do I own one. Nevertheless I think my point was misunderstood, so I'll clarify: my point was that the PS4 can run 1080/60, if the developer chooses to devote the consoles power for that, and not other things, like gameplay, AI, and NPCs. The Xone however can't. That was the jist of it. I haven't been keeping up on console stuff, since I do have a PC rig good enough that I won't consider buying one.. but ultimately I'll trust the developer of, let's say the Witcher 3, more than you, random person on the Internet.

Tbh I can't see the difference between a constant 30 fps and a constant 60 fps. I can see it however, if it fluctuates between those amounts. Say the fps rate drops from 60 to 30, only then will I see it. But if I look at two screens, one 30 fps and one 60 fps, I'd have to look real hard to notice anything.

Having 30 fps isn't bad though. As long as it's constant 30 fps. Maybe the next gen consoles can hold the game at 30 fps no matter how much activity is happening.

I pretty much live at the PSForums so I'm brainwashed to tell you to always buy Sony  ;)  But honestly, I'm not sure there will be a huge difference between the two. My fellow regulars there will bang on about 1080p and 60fps, but pretty much all the multi platform games that have come out have been 30fps any way. You may find that XboxOne is only 720, whereas PS4 is 1080p as that has been happening. But at this point I can only really speculate.

I guess it will also depend on the online features as well. If they do end up bringing in a multiplayer that you are likely to play then I've always seen Xbox as being better catered to that side of things because they sell well amongst the COD generation.

 

Console exclusives tend to be announced a bit later on, although I don't think Origins or DA2 had any? So I'm not guessing this one will.

 

I'm using this excuse for everything right now, but maybe wait until E3? There is a chance they might talk about some of these things there and you will get a clearer idea of what version will bring you a better experience.

Until then I reckon it'll just be a case of picking the console you're more comfortable playing on.

Im hoping (praying) since it is cross gen, the PC specs are going to be generous

If I'm going to go out of my way and throw an educated guess, then I will say DA:I will be 1080p/30fps on PS4 and 900p/30fps on Xbox One. Another, but somewhat less likely possibility is 1080p/30fps on both. 

 

Basically, both next-gen versions will be more or less identical graphics-wise. That's what I see BioWare doing.

I'm 100% certain that they have confirmed controller support for PC. I'm getting it for PC for that reason (and it was in fact, this game that encouraged me to make a new build).

 

I'll get a link if I can, but it was either Laidlaw or Darrah on twitter, some time ago.

I'm not one to care about slight graphical differences (i.e. 1080 v 720, 60fps v 30fps). However, if that is literally the only difference between versions, logically, I'll get the higher one. Ya know?

And you should. But you're still using hyperboles. Case in point - Forza 5. That was my point.

Without any facts yet.

If you preordering on either PS4 or XB, it's pretty safe to say the PS4 will not be worse than XB, if anything will perform/look better.

Safe choice PS4

Ok... difference one: ram ddr 3 vs ddr 5...ps uses 5 while xone uses the 3 bandwidth for ps is 176GB while xone has 68.3GB

Difference two: xbox one cup clocks 1.75 GHz while ps is at 1.6 GHz

Difference three: GPU xone has 7790 with 12 compute units while ps4 has 7870 with 18 compute units
50% more power but cpu is clocked higher mitigating down the percent

Difference four: now xone has something that developers can access that ps4 doesnt

32MB SRAM giving a 102GB addition making a 204GB bandwidth but only if this is used right by developers

Dependent on game companies really to what would be better. Ps4 outputs at 1600×900 with xone at 1280×720

Which I better, I wont or cant tell you as it does rely on game developers more than the system itself. :)

Pc will always outdo consoles cause graphics get updated minimum twice a year. If its been one year already, then consoles just fell behind in two graphics chips.

Im getting the xone myself. But the ps4 does have little more advantage.

And you should. But you're still using hyperboles. Case in point - Forza 5. That was my point.

 

Right, did not know about Forza 5, but that doesn't invalidate my point, (especially since it's an exclusive to the Xone) and neither does the hyperbole. Assuming that it would... would be a logical fallacy. I've just ran through a list of which platform runs which game in what resolution/fps.. the only games which run on 1080p/60fps on Xbox One are sports titles. NBA, Fifa and Forza 5. And one indie game. No cross-gen AAA titles. I'll put it this way: no AAA cross-gen can run on 1080p/60fps on the Xone, while the likes of Cod:Ghosts, MGS: Ground Zero, all run on 1080p/60fps on the PS4. The only ones that I can find that presumably run like that on the Xone and are major AAA releases are upcoming games, and as we've seen with Watch Dogs, that kind of information is unreliable...

 

Ultimately, it's the developers job to make it work. If they really push it, and they downgrade the games on the other platforms as well, they can make it run in 1080/60 on the Xbox. But that would mean that the overall quality across all platforms would suffer for a minor graphics boost on the Xone, and I don't think any developer would willingly do that. The point stands. The like of Dragon Age:Inquisition won't be able to do 1080/60 on the Xbox, while they might... might achieve it on the PS4. 

 

Not that any of it matter, since if you pump about 700$ into a PC, and carefully choose it's parts, you will be able to do 1080/60 on any game that comes out for the next 4 years at least(assuming that they're optimized, unlike AC4, which dropped framerates on 5000$ rigs).

You guys really shouldn't get your hopes up for 60fps on consoles with this game. At this point, I think it's safe to assume that won't be the case.

 

Higher resolution is pretty much a given on PS4 and Xbox One, but I don't see the 30fps norm going anywhere.

What I'm really concerned with are Save Data transfers.

 

Your actions during Dragon Age 2 jump started a pretty significant event that supposedly leads into DAI. Which is more or less the reason Varric and Cassandra are in your party and based on my understanding it's the whole reason for this Inquisition. That's unless that focus has been retconned in someway and they treat DA:Inquisition as a "side-story" like DA:Origins and the "real" Dragon Age 3 continues Cassandra's search for Hawke.

 

But more to the point, in DA2 your data from the previous games affected the appearance of certain optional side-quests, is it the same for DAI?

 

To be more specific: If you have the 360/PS3/PC version of DAI, does your previous save data from DA2, DAO, or DA1 affect the appearance certain side-quests or the appearance of certain characters?

 

If so then does mean the XBone/PS4 versions will have fewer side-quests or elements because you can't import your Save Data?

 

Or has BioWare completely abandoned the Import Data feature this time around for the sake of keeping every version of Dragon Age:Inquisition equal in content?
