Dragon Age: Inquisition Pre-Release Thread

The bottom pictures are excellent. Reminiscent of early 20th century children's book illustration. The other more "concept art" focused stuff's decent too, and yet somehow it will all conspire to look incredibly bland when translated into in-game assets.

that was interesting video... the tarot cards and art design in general is very, very good (i thought it was way more reminiscent of vienna secession and klimt in particular, not so much northern renaissance), showing no 3d can really beat the 2d illustrations. good to see someone at bioware came to his senses (it took just a bit more than a decade). that said, it still dangerously flirts with kitschy and next to it UI looks horrible with it's clean vector design ( actiony and out of place in high fantasy setting). this could have been a joy for the eyes if things would have been consistent

the actual world looks WAY oversaturated and use of color palette in almost every fucking scene ranges from barely forgivable to atrocious. who the hell think stuffing the whole specter of possible colors and turning saturation to 300+ will not induce epileptic seizures? it a shame to see an actually good looking world drowning in kitch and exaggerations.

Holy shit.

(I never played Dragon Age: who was that glowing person reaching down to who I assume is the Inquisitor?)

Holy shit.

I used to watch Power Rangers as a kid. I usually watched it because the female rangers were hot.

 

[Malpercio]

Oh, please. No need to justify yourself.

We all used to watch Power Rangers because they were fucking awesome.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Well that looked awful. I thought they switched to Cryengine to finally make a good looking game?

Well it's an engine that makes you cry, so I say it does what it was advetised to do.

 

[eremita]

It's Frostbite...

 

[GarfunkeL]

I stand corrected! Still, doesn't look much better than DAO or DA2. Bioware 3D artists re-confirmed to be shit.

Is any of this footage from the PC version? or can we expect over saturation city and the contrast of a thousand exploding suns?

 

[PhantasmaNL]

The combat seems utterly boring. Im guessing the UI on the pc will also stink of consoleportitis.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Cherry picking much?

DA:O

DA2

In comparison to what Dragon Age actually looked like, the trailer didn't look much better.

Holy shit.

The Power Ranger music made me realise that Dragon Age could be awesome if they had gone even more OTT than they already have. Make it the cheesiest and dumbest game you possibly can so that you can make fun of other fantasy games. I would enjoy that.

Dragon Age, the state of things

Yeah, I'd most likely enjoy it if David Gaider and company was exchanged for the Saint's Row writers. I mean the writing is almost best of the worst tier already so why not just embrace the schlock and abandon of all pretence of making a serious game?

Holy shit.

Damn, thats just missed opportunity! They should hire someone like Johnny Yong Bosch and Daniel Southworth for voice acting and motion capture (well, if they are doing any motion capture for cutscenes).

Holy shit.

That's parody right? Funny one.

 

[Elfberserker]

Oh wow.
Bioware does have the right writers, but wrong genre. I honestly think that their games would get better, if they weren't serious about their writings.

Agreed, BW games should go the deliberate campy route of ME3's citadel DLC.

 

[RandomAccount]

The campy route?

Well, if the writing was even half this good:

I'd buy two copies!

 

[Martius]

Since Bioware wants to make Dragon Age combat more "action", we should at least get something like that.

Are you ready for The Sims 4...err... I mean DA:I?!

It seems they'll do a stream tomorrow, to show the character creation and some gameplay. Source
