Dragon Age III

Dragon Age III Rumoured to be Heading to Next-Gen Platforms in 2014

Dragon Age III: Inquisition is now reportedly targeting next-generation consoles, according to the LinkedIn page of a Level Designer at EA Shanghai that states "the scope of DAIII has been changed" or in this case "chaged", according to the typo-riddled post.

"Scope of the DAIII has been chaged [sic], which will target next gen platform [sic] and will be postpone [sic] to 2014," reads the LinkedIn profile of Level Designer, Tao Gu. Tellingly, as noted by Superannuation in his section on Kotaku, the official announcement press release from September, neglected to mention platforms, which could point to EA planning a next-gen launch for Dragon Age III.

It could be that the claims in the LinkedIn resume may be somewhat lost in translation however - which also explains the errors - and could instead be referring to the release being postponed from fiscal year 2013 to fiscal year 2014, placing Dragon Age III in an autumn 2013 slot.

Until EA offers a confirmation either way, we'll take all of this with the usual pinch of sodium chloride, better known as salt.

I don't even want to think about the debacle of trying to import a cross-generation save file.

I doubt the PS4 is coming any time soon. Hardware above PS3 performance will initially cost an arm, a leg, and probably a lung or kidney too. Sony can't afford four years or more to make a profit on a new system while its in consecutive years of loss with zero investor trust. They need to push the products they have now to the limit. The PS3 has a life far beyond what most Sony laptops or PCs or phones have. If, and only if, they post profit for two years and then have a good medium term outlook, expect a PS4 or equivalent announcement. Probably 2016 or 2017 for 2018 or 2019. The 10 year cycle is irrelevant because of the quality of games possible on PS3.

I don't really care for the next gen consoles. Well actually I'm starting to hate the fact there is a next gen console. I mean honestly the PS3 and 360 is the highest gaming should go. Having the next gen consoles come out is passing the limit for gaming. If the next gen consoles come out, I hope the servers are linked to just one online and that the current consoles will still be used by majority of people. I spent too much on the PS3, it's online content, and on it's games. I hope it won't be twice as much for the next gen.

Fine by me. Didn't plan on picking it up anyway... as much as I'd want a PS4 as soon as it came out, I'm far from done with the current gen.

@8 your way off expect the Xbox720 late 2013 or early 2014 and PS4 2014, and PS3 just don't stop selling because of the PS4 you know. And almost every dev team are making next gen games (PS4) why? so when the PS4 does release it will have alot more games at launch unlike what the PS3 had next to nothing at launch.

With all the rumors of virtual software, games being tied to one system, etc... they can keep them in the warehouse as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to buy something that requires me to be oneline to play it. I'd also hate to see how large the next gen games would be. ISPs already cap data in some locations which could cause even more hardships. I hate having to wait downloading some of the PS+ games especially when I have to remove others to have enough room to d/l then install.

@12 i stick with what I said. I do agree with you that an upgraded xbox will be out in 3-4 years, but i believe more to match bluray technology. Game devs will say anything to be in the news and game reporters will report any rumor they can find with nothing to corroborate the information, like this article. I wonder how many devs have a PS4 title in the works as a PS3 game approaches release or if they need a job.

@2: That shouldn't really be a problem ...

Hm ... not sure I'll be able to buy another console anytime soon, but at least with DA3, I'll have something to look forward to.
