According to the latest news, yes, they say they are talking about it and it's likely in the future.

 

It's kind of an obvious move. The PC platform is where MMO's thrive right now. Investors aren't going to leave that pile of money just lying on the table - in fact I don't know of any third party studio not directly financed by Microsoft/Sony (or a Japanese studio - although even they are starting to come around, just slowly) that isn't releasing their games on PC.

 

Meantime, all the big publishers and mid tiers devs are not only putting their games on PC, but they all have at least one PC exclusive - even though no one is paying them to keep it PC exclusive. EA has Sim City and the Sims, Activision/Blizzard has Hearthstone and Star Craft and the WOW, Ubisoft has Might and Magic X, and the Heroes of might and magic games, Obsidian is coming out with Pillars of Eternity, Sega has Total War, Firaxis has Civilization series, and I forget who has Company of Heroes and the upcoming Homeworld game (Relic?).

I'm going to get PS4 this month. The big reason for that is DA: I, but also other next-gen games.

[OynxDragon666]

I have both ps4 and xbox one, also getting DA:I for both consoles

[phantomrachie]

I'm playing it on the PC, I've recently upgraded so it'll look great!.  I'm still undecided over which next gen console I'll get first, as I normally end up with all of them eventually.

 

Sony's E3 has me edging over to the PS4 but I still don't know. What I do know is that I'll need a price drop on the PS4 or XboxOne before I buy.

@godModeAlpha Thanks btw ^^ I'll have to see what Transistor's about.

That's a bit silly, isn't it? If you bought a PC that performs like a PS4 today,f or like $550 -$600, what on earth makes you think you'd need to upgrade "every few months"? Do PC's lose transistors or GPU cores on a daily basis? Does a PS4 grow them magically?

 

You might WANT to upgrade every couple of years to make games look and run better than on a PS4, but you won't HAVE to do so. There's a big difference. I really, truly hate this meme that console gamers appear to hold up as some sort of gospel truth. PC gamers, for the most part, do not upgrade because they have to, they do so because in 3 years PC games will look and run MUCH better than anything on a PS4, and many of us want that better experience.

 

The PS4's CPU's is sub par. Please show me the PS4 game where thousands of characters are running animations, AI and pathfinding. Would love to see it.

Well for starters, I only paid $399+tax for my PS4 That's about what I could afford this year. Second, the rule is that processing power doubles like every six months, and PC games have typically pushed adoption by ramping up their requirements game to game. It's my personal experience that my $600 dollar PC won't even run new games after three or four months, or if they do, the minimum spec versions look so bad and are still choppy to the point it's not worth it. And then I can't necessarily play much older games because of compatibility issues. Unless it's so old the IP is out and I can find an emulator, but I do that anyway. While surpassing console capabilities would be nice, again, I just can't afford it. I'm just telling you why I personally quit PC gaming though. It's not a meme to me.

 

Games for consoles, devs just get more efficient working with what they have, and it's always very noticeable year to year. The core software is updated frequently as well. More important to me, I can enjoy new games for years. I'm not going to feel like I wasted a lot of money and effort.

 

Thousands of independent characters is the claim, but speaking to Total War, models and animations scale to different zoom levels. You're not always looking at the same assets, and the closer the zoom, the less characters on screen, at whatever level of detail. I can tell you for sure my PS4 is a heck of a lot more powerful than the PC I played Rome:TW on with full specs and double unit size. I played battles with 4000+ characters. I even modded it out. Building for PS4 is more than doable. That same PC couldn't handle Medeival 2 at all, or anything after, so I had to give it up. Probably off topic though.

 

edit: That's 4k+ active characters, and a carpet of casualties. You can definitely build for PS4, and look pretty decent doing it.

I got a next gen console (Xbox One) especially for Dragon Age, which is currently collecting dust   as no other games really interest me much atm.

 

Will have to finish playing Tomb Raider, because Rise of The Tomb Raider looks good, but I digress.

[Raven X]

well, I didn't get a PS4 just for this game, but DAI is certainly a BIG reason why I made the move to next-gen so early.

 

already have the PS4 version preordered and paid off!! 

 

course, I'm a bit bummed that the Xbox One will get DLC content 1st............

 

but it's only timed exclusivity, so I can live with that. 

[happy_daiz]

Already have the PS4 and Vita, so, yeah.

 

Didn't buy either specifically for DAI, but I have preordered and prepaid my copy for PS4 already.

Well, that's simply untrue. Not sure where you are getting this from. Even going back to last gen: a GTX 8800 GPU from the start of the generation could run most multiplats better than an xbox 360. Of course, better than an Xbox 360 was 720p, 30 FPS, medium settings, and in 2011 you probably looked at that mess of jaggies and said, no way no how, I'm upgrading my PC. But that doesn't magically mean the Xbox was somehow better, or the mere fact that the PC version of games featured better lighting and shadowing, AA and AF, more AI, better physics, etc, etc mean somehow you were losing something over console by not upgrading.

A number of those series have console versions now. Sims 3 on PS3, and 4 coming (but I can't mod them for free like I did Sims on PC >< ), Heroes of M&M on XBL Arcade (fun), and Civ on 360, but they unfortunately scaled it down for console, as a design decision. It's fun, but they went cartoony. Reminds me of Civ 2. Civilization 4 was the last one I could play on PC, so I'm hoping for more complex versions on console someday.

No it's true, and I'm getting it from actual experience. This is just purely what happened to me.  I don't have a horse in the race beyond explaining my pov. The last few PC games I was able to really play are Rome:TW, Freedom Force 2, Civ 4, B&W (couldn't run 2), and Tropico 2 (got 3 and 4 on 360).

 

My little two year old minimal laptop for $350 is more powerful than that PC was. Unfortunately it still can't run Medeival 2 without extreme lag. >< I can run SWTOR (ftp) on its lowest settings with just a little choppiness, but it fits into that category of barely running, so I gave up on it at the first public training zone. That's better than most.

[Avaflame]

I probably should, considering I pre-ordered the game for PS4. I've still got four months (!), that's plenty of time!

[Maeshone]

Bloodborne

 

Never really been very big on the Souls games unfortunately, so while I recognize that From Software is a mark of quality, I'll probably be holding off on Bloodborne until I know a bit more about it. But that reminded me that The Evil Within will be dropping later this year as well, and I'm really hoping it's good!

[aphelion4]

Nope but I will be buying a new cpu as my computer is in desperate need of a new one (and possibly a new gpu afterwards). Haven't upgraded my pc for the past like 6 years as it wasn't necessary until now, assuming DA:I is really similar to Battlefield 4. XD

None of those hold a candle to the PC version. Sims 3 on consoles is Sims 2. A ton of features, including the world are gone. The Sims 4 has not been announced for any platform other than PC. Same goes for Heroes of Might and Magic  and civ Rev - not the same games AT all.

What you're saying here is that YOUR PC's (specs of which you haven't shared) couldn't run games, therefore PC is all about constant upgrades??

 

Seriously?

[LadySatsuki]

Yep, I am.

 

There are plenty of next-gen games that I've wanted to play, but nothing has come out yet that has demanded I get a new system. I always figured that I would wait to get a PS4 when DA:I came out and then be able to get my next-gen games.

 

Of course I'm on a tight budget myself, but if there's a time to switch to next-gen, it's this.

[bairdduvessa]

trying to

[Eveangaline]

Nah.

[LenaMarie]

Well mostly, I was refering to getting a PS4 for DAI to play it via Remote Play over the internet Being able to play DAI On the go is awesome.

[Knottedredloc]

Nope!  Xbox was the best place to play BioWare games and it looks like the One will continue that legacy.  Xbox One for me...

[ebby0110]

Yup. I am getting DAI on PS4. Eventually I will have both PS4 & X-Box One, but PS4 has more games I want to play and since Bioware is using Dragon Keep instead of transferring game save on X-Box 360 (at least that's my understanding) might as well upgrade while I'm employed.

[The_Other_M]

Nope, at least not for DA:I. I'll wait for fan reviews before I even touch that game.

 

I was gonna get a PS4 for Batman:Arkham Knight but that was pushed back to next year, and so was Witcher 3.

So more or less I won't be buying one anytime soon.

[draken-heart]

I thought about it, and decided that I am going to trade up from PS 3, to PS 4. At least once I remember what the choices I made for my Warden.

[Jsixgun]

My PS4 is hankering to play Destiny after that amazing alpha. That'll make the last month for DAI go way faster.
