But for how long? I'm console player and been one since SNES. But the consoles will inevitably stagnate and PC will push forward again. Until the next console generation.  

With the way their pumping out new graphic cards and processors for pcs, would say by the time next e 3 comes around will start really seeing a difference if devs take adventage of things like mantle and directx 12 fully. To name a few things.

Have to keep in mind also with next gen consoles though they say you have a full 8 cores, you really only have six cause hardware takes 2 fully. PCs don't suffer that drawback the consoles do with that stuff not has badly, so will really start to show by next e3 a lot, but then comes down to devs and marketing.

Hearing people constantly talk about/compare DA:I to TW3 has completely turned me off to TW3. I just don't care. Isn't there another forum you can talk about this that isn't BioWare's forum? It just seems rude, and I (and I am sure others) aren't here to talk and or/read about The Witcher- which in my opinion, isn't as aesthetically pleasing as DA:I. (In terms of art style, not graphical capability).

If it makes you feel better peoplde do the samething on the witcher forums.

Really, comparing the two on graphics is just silly. One is being done on new gen only, the other is on old and new. Not to mention RED is better then Frostbite so by default TW3 WILL look better. Both games look fantastic.

 

 

Bioware has nothing to do with The Witcher series, CDP does and they screwed up on something as simple as Yens hair colour.

 

They confirmed her hair will be black, don't worry. Another reason TW3 is a huge step up from TW2 - CDPR is using the latest third party software to render the world, animate stuff, load areas etc. I'm not sure how much third party software Bioware has access to in creating a cross generational game.

Them... uhm... don't click on these threads, maybe? Not that hard a thing to do. I don't care about spoilers on the companions so I don't click on threads about Cole or anyone else. Simple.

Yep.

 

To put it in perspective:

 

Last gen to do better than an Xbox 360, you'd have to -

 

1. wait 2 months after it launched (for a compute shader GPU).

2. Spend around $1,200 to do better at performance/graphics.

 

This gen to do better than a PS4 you'd have to:

1. Well, you don't have to wait. In fact you could pick up better hardware 2 years ago.

2. Spend around $600 to do better at performance/graphics.

 

Last gen, 3 years into it, a mid range PC (then cheaper than the $1,200 you'd have to spend originally) was already running games with better lighting, shadowing, resolution, frame rate, AF, AA, texture quality, 3D mesh/LOD quality, particle effects, etc, etc.

 

So 3 years into this gen? What will we see?

[FiveThreeTen]

Of course TW3 looks much better since it's developped with the new generation of consoles in mind (and it's going to be gorgeous on PC). But I have been enjoying the Dragon Age serie far more so looks are not everything...

 

I really don't get this trend of comparing the two games with the undertone that Bioware should inspire themselves from TW serie. Let Bioware do their own thing like CDProjekt is doing their own thing. (And frankly I rather have a RPG were I can create my own character and roleplay him/her, I never really saw the appeal of Geralt tbh).

 

Graphically wise I think DA:I looks fine. It's still a little "cartoonish" but not as much as DA2.

I don't want to think about 3 years, if pcs keep going at the current rate, sony and mircosoft will have to drop new consoles by then.

Edit: That Being said if the tech guy and the like that helped put the current pcs I am on together five years before things change enough where everyone will need a new pc if they bought one within the past six-seven months for gaming, but we will see thinking four years myself.

Its a thing the fanbois and like started fromm both games.

[Endurium]

I plan to play both regardless of graphics. That said, I'm planning to upgrade my PC for Witcher 3, not for DA:I.

[Zered]

Graphics are not that of a deal for me, sure the Witcher looks much better but it's the story that is important.

 

Also do keep in mind that both games are still in production and stuff may change.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is releasing later than Dragon Age Inquisition.

 

The Witcher is a fully next gen, fully open world game as opposed to bridging gen, partially open world game of Dragon Age. 

 

Ultimately it is not about the graphics but rather the aesthetics of the game. Graphically, The Witcher is superior due to technology. 

 

Aesthetically, if is a personal preference. In my opinion, 

 

The Witcher's aesthetics feel more gritty and dark and realistic. Geralt's attacks with a sword are motion captured using an actual swordsman, the world looks dark and gritty, the monsters really look freakish. 

 

Dragon Age's aesthetics are more over-the-top and fantastical in nature. You saw the gameplay demo and some of the combat animations. 

 

So it really depends. 

[Challseus]

I plan on getting both games for sure, and while TW3 trailers have impressed, I have to say... When I watched the gameplay demos during E3, I wasn't that impressed. It could just be the area they showed, but I was more impressed, visually speaking, with the DAI demo.

 

In fact, I have really been impressed with the wide variety of areas in DAI versus what they've shown for TW3. It's still early, obviously, but I really like the direction Bioware is heading in.

[BigEvil]

Graphics are all good and well but at the end of the day I'm more interested in the art design of a game than how much graphical power it has. Which comes down to personal preference, obviously, and is no ones place to decide apart from the individual. I'm loving the look of DA:I, but I've also been keeping away from TW3 because following one game this closely is tiring enough as it is. So I can't say which I prefer at the moment.

 

Either way, as to which people prefer or which has better graphics, I'll be playing both and enjoying them most likely.

[Naktis]

why cant we have TW3 hairs and female bodies Look at trish and now look at sera

Now now now, don't go comparing Triss and Sera. One is an elven thief and the other is a powerful redhead mage that has access to magics that prolong her youth.

[KBomb]

Graphically, I think TW3 looks better, but I am really excited about both games. I can't wait to play them.

[BlueFlame527]

As someone who has just gotten an hdtv and ps4 recently I think both games will look great and do depite not being through with their developmental stages.

Graphics are good and all but if the rest of the game is lacking, then I couldn't care less if you could see the most defined textures of sand and trees.

But that's just me

[Fishy]

TW3 does look better graphically, sadly I tried really really hard to care about Geralt as a protagonist as a character and it just wasn't happening. BioWare's stories always pull me right in from the get-go. 

 

Same.. Witcher look great. But the overall story and the character bored me out of my mind( Actually get more immersed in swtor than witcher 2. Swtor still look amazing). I probably purchase the W3 regardless lol. Bioware also pull me into their world and because of this the whole thing become more alive and beautiful. Everything make more sense. In Witcher 2 all I was seeing was good particle effect. Crysis felt more like a tech demo than a game with a rich story and likable character.

 

I still get immersed when I play Baldur gate 2. You don't need hair physic for that. Actually sometime less is more. Book don't have any graphic. Yet they pull me more than any michael bay movie ever did.

Let the FPSs fight about who has the best graphics.

Sera looks better imo

 

Geralt will end alone or with Yen when I play this game.

[IC-07]

Graphics for W3 are waaaay better than DA:I. One reason is the cartoonish style of DA:I, can't take it serious.

[godModeAlpha]

Sorry to bring up another game in BioWare's official forums. It's just that I keep seeing references to Dragon Age: Inquisition's graphics saying that they aren't that great. One article I read said DA:I is caught in that "awkward between-generations spot" when it comes to visuals, and that Witcher 3 is "certainly better-looking."
It kind of makes me feel dumb, because to me the games look almost the same graphics-wise, with DA:I even having the upper hand in some areas. Am I just a terrible judge of graphics? Or is 75% of the internet biased towards the Witcher franchise?

Have to chip in here, I sincerely believe the DAI looks great especially for an alpha build.

Also pointing out that comparing oranges to apples. No one knows the PC specs that the gameplay vids were rendered on so such comparisons are not actually valid in my books. Although one would ask why would Bioware show gameplay on an inferior system?

PS I'm going to get both games, oh btw you do realise the Witcher was delay because CDPR did not want the Witcher 3 sales to to impacted by DAI, so the idea that the internet is skewed towards one game is not accurate.

[slimgrin]

Let the FPSs fight about who has the best graphics.

No. CDPR is showing great art design and graphics belong in any genre. It's even more important in an RPG where immersion is critical. FPS are all about gameplay, they honestly don't need fancy graphics.
