Forums - Gaming Discussion - Digital Foundry: Dragon Age Inquisition

Verdict:

Dragon Age fans should be pleased by the combination of Inquisition's excellent visuals and stable performance, while its gameplay is receiving plenty of plaudits. From a technical perspective, even with the underwhelming cut-scene performance, Dragon Age: Inquisition is still the most optimised BioWare experience we've enjoyed on a console. Thankfully the firm has acknowledged these issues (which are mostly a concern for PC owners) and is apparently investigating solutions. Considering that much of the problem appears to be tied to animation rather than frame-rate, however, we're very curious to see what they come up with.

In terms of final recommendations, it's clear that if you have the muscle, the PC version is going to provide the best experience - but the console versions are still very impressive. If you don't mind minor frame-rate dips and feel that image quality is most important, it's easy to recommend the PS4 version. However, those looking for the most stable experience should instead opt for the Xbox One version. It's clear that neither console version is quite perfect but the level of graphical accomplishment and performance are an enormous improvement over every other BioWare console title we've played.

Dragon Age has always been a PC exclusive for me and will probably always remain so.



So yet again

To be honest, this game looks shit on all three, wtf?



If the lowest it goes is 26fps I guess that's OK as it shouldn't affect gameplay too much, but I would have preferred a locked 30. Of course sometimes PS4 goes up to 31, so technically PS4 has a better max framerate

So my choice is instability, shitty IQ or Origin. Woe is me.

It's a cross gen games.



Personally, I didn't experience any frame drops during gameplay on PS4. But during cutscenes, it's pretty awful. Around 20fps I think. Not dialogues though, only cutscenes.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.
