Also it looks freaking gorgeous!
Maybe this will be different but I wont bet on it until proven otherwise.
Quality of individual assets is irrelevelant. Only thing that matter is they are working good togather. If this trailer is anything to go by, environment are just amazing actually.
Although I want to see some actuall gameplay.
I disagree completely. The assets themselves are just as important as the art direction. A good example can be had with say something like Bioshock infinite. The art direction was good, but when you see badly mirrored texture work all over the place, or some really bad mesh work, or a stretched UV, then all it does is alienate, it pulls the spectator out of the immersive state. Granted, as artist, we are more likely to pick up this than the average gamer.
Generally speaking, as sequels progress, as hardware gets better, the quality of assets or how they are used should improve. Not sure I really saw that consistently displayed in the video.
To each their own though.
I mean sure, low res texture, obvious tiling and stuff...it can be annoying, sure, but still, if the bigger picture is done correctly i don't mind it.
On the other hand, no outstanding asset will help you if you get the overall direction wrong.
Just my opinion anyhow.
Also, looks interesting for sure. Hopefully better then DA2 though. Liked DAO a lot....
I disagree, and didn't notice that much at all about Infinite. Beautiful assets, and beautiful direction.
About Dragon-Age.... I don't think it looks much better than Skyrim. Which isn't a bad way to look, save for the fact that Skyrim is now 3 years old.
Inquisition looks like a huge step forward to me. If they release it within the next year or two, it'll have the advantage of being early in the console cycle and will feel like less of a fallback to the last generation.
In terms of art direction, I think it really comes down to consistency. The player will accept a certain level of fidelity as long as everything is in the same ballpark. When an asset dips below the quality level, it really stands out, but that doesn't mean everything has to be hero level.
Most games I've played over the last few years have either had relatively simple assets but in great numbers, or really well crafted assets but noticeably less variation. Either one looks good as long as it's consistent. Bioshock would definitely fall in the latter btw.
EA continuosly gouge their consumers for more $$$$ while giving them less for their money, they have a history of anti consumer practices that just keeps on going and as a result I have boycotted EA. I will never buy one of their games again.. so no DA3 for me
At least I still have the Witcher 3:)

Can anyone explain to me why game from the end of 2014 doesn't have cloth simulation on all long clothing (kilts, skirts, robes), and instead animate long clothing along legs bones, which looks ridiculous ?
But, DAI is finally released!!! Such an amazing feeling. So proud of the entire team! I feel incredibly honoured to have gotten the chance to be apart of such an awesome project. And it's my first AAA game release! Weeee!
Who's playing? What system?
I think it's mainly a gen3 concession. This project was started in a time when gen4 adoption rates were still uncertain so they probably wanted to play safe and do it for both gen 3 and 4, which means some sacrifices need to be made.
Bah. AC3 somehow managed it on prev gen with more characters on screen (;.
Anyway. Games is good. But I say, that tactical mode is completly not needed, and I rather see Dragon Age evolve into Mass Effect combat entirely. Game would benefit from it.
To be perfectly honest old school rpg fans will still not like the combat that is DAI, and fans of full action combat in RPG like me, will find it that combat in DAI is not action enough.
Never the less, it's still fun to play. Hope in DA4 it will be full action ;p.
I absolutely love the lighting and composition of this scene, and even though it is probably staged just for the screenshot I would love to see more of it for the sake of studying it. I believe it is called the War Room (or is it the War Table ?) but I couldn't find much about it besides the little two seconds clip in the video posted earlier in the thread.
Thanks !
The lighting is pretty much just the night time Visual Environment with a few warmer lights from the candles above and to the sides. The moon light is at the same angle as the sunlight is with the daytime Visual Environment to keep things consistent during cutscenes.
Table was modeled by Dimitar Tzvetanov.
Glad you like it
I'll eventually post some shots (once I take them) of this and the rest of Skyhold.
downsides would be:
the constant crashing. In my first ten hours I probably had 3 straight to desktop crashes and 6 hard locks, two in cutscenes and the rest in the war room.
secondly would be the glossiness. The game confuses me, because lots of it is brilliant and beautiful, but then there's a LOT of materials that have white dots for spec, and it seems to me that someone added an extra digit to the end of the gloss value or something.. it's hard to imagine it's intentional. There's also quite a number of weapons and armors that look very poorly made.. it only really stands out because there's some fantastic stuff in there too and swapping between them can be very jarring. There's a lot of content though so I imagine time was short and sometimes this stuff can happen.
there's also a handful of just straight up baffling decisions. a lot seem like they can be patched but I'm not expecting anything. stuff like the tactical cam, the lock on cam, "valuables" containing research items (and being named valuables?? when it's just junk), and a bit more, but it's all smaller scale stuff, nothing that affects the game at large with exception of the tac cam. It's real easy to nitpick stuff like this because the rest of the game is of very high quality.
Overall, A+, easily a contender for RPG GOTY and I'm only 20 hours in so far... plus Divinity came out this year.
...but yeah, this and FC4, easily the best 2014 releases on PS4 for me!
I fixed it by doing a couple of things. Disabling Origins in-game overlay, holyshit. Who came up with that? I got rid of most of the stutter and went from like 10 to 40 fps. Huge improvement. I also downloaded the new AMD drivers and started playing in fullscreen windowed mode ( which I don't know how I didn't see when I did my options. ) And now I can play it at 30-40ish fps on all setting on Low except for Meshes which is at High to get rid of the shiny hair.
I like it! I thought it was going to end 10-15 hours in, but damn, I was just getting started. ^^ It still stutter quite a bit, and have really long loading screens. Which kind of kills the mood for me, sadly. Nevertheless a great game! I really need to get some better components for my computer this christmas ^^
thanks for the tips, what pc have u got?
I'm playing on PC with a 360 controller
damn man, yeah I'm on recommended settings as well, maybe a tad above processer wise, but I've been able to run 30+ fps with everything on high, though I am on Nvidia but it's hard to believe it would be that much of a difference?
I need to try turning off the origin overlay though, maybe that's causing some of my issues. Plus the achievement sound is jarring as hell every time haha! BLWEEEE!
hope you can get the performance sorted out, this game is so dang good
"Origin Online Login is Unavailable"
Umm... Fate ? or sign ?
