BioWare still unsure of Dragon Age: Inquisition’s resolution/FPS

During a recent interview with PlayStation Lifestyle, BioWare producer Cameron Lee has stated the developer is still toying with Dragon Age: Inquisition’s final resolution on the current generation consoles, in addition to the final verdict on its frames-per-second.

“I’ll give you a roundabout answer, which basically means I can’t answer it”, explained Lee. “But the truth is that although we are only a few weeks away from starting to put our first candidates up for certification, we still don’t really know where we’re going to land… and that’s true across all platforms, really. Everything from the resolution to the frames and all that sort of stuff, you just work on that all the way until the very end. But we will certainly be aiming for as absolute high as the PlayStation can go in terms of resolution… at least that. So we’ll see where we go”.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. The developer is planning on fusing elements of both earlier games in the series, Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II, into the creation of Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game will feature larger environments with much more opportunity for exploration. BioWare has confirmed that multiple playable races are returning, both male and female. Players can play as a human, dwarf, or elf just like in Dragon Age: Origins. Additionally, Qunari are also playable for the first time. However, combat is expected to differ somewhat from its direct predecessor, and focus more on a player’s ability to prepare, position, and form a cohesive team with his or her party members, requiring fewer repetitive finger strikes but better thinking like the first instalment. Tactical view also returns for all five platforms in Dragon Age: Inquisition, whereas before it was exclusive to PC in Dragon Age: Origins, and which was removed in Dragon Age II.

Dragon Age: Inquisition launches on November 18th in North America and November 21st in Europe, on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.
