Forums - Sony - Dragon age : Origins shipping day one on all 3 platforms

I rarely write up those things... but must be good news for some ps3 fans. I'm getting the PC version anyway ^^

This is one of those times when we're notentirely certain the news is as good as it sounds. But on the surface, it definitely appears to be a positive announcement, especially for role-playing fans.

It took a while - five years after it was first announced, in fact - but Bioware's latest title, Dragon Age: Origins, has officially gone gold and is scheduled to launch on November 3. Up until now, we figured it would only arrive for the Xbox 360 and PC as it was previously revealed that the PS3 version wouldn't drop until later; all we knew is that it might be on store shelves later in the year. But Bioware co-founder and EA boss Ray Muzyka has announced that PS3 owners should be happy, because all versions will now be coming out on the same day. Oddly enough, the PS3 version still isn't solidified for Europe, as they say it'll release "a bit later in November." Considered to be the "spiritual successor" to Baldurs Gate, this is the RPG that many have been waiting for, but as Bioware doesn't have much of a history with PlayStation hardware, we're a touch concerned they're rushing this one out the door. When we first heard of the delay, we were actually content that the team was addressing any problems but now...well, maybe they just fixed everything early.

Either way, here's hoping the PS3 version isn't inferior to the 360 and PC versions; the latter two were probably a whole lot easier to make for Bioware, who has been most familiar with PC-style technology in the past. We just want the same experience as everyone else gets...guess we'll find out soon enough.

Actually it is.

Since most of you don't know Polish I'll do short translation

PS3 version has framedrops below 30 fps unlike x360 version (but Bioware is trying to solve this so finished version might not have them)

PS3 version has more noticable aliasing than x360 version

However diffrences to pc version are much greater

- pc has best graphics and AA (well that's a given so no suprises here)

- pc offers classic isometric view and over the shoulder view almost like in Mass Effect, ps/xbox version are locked to the Mass effect look.

- only pc version has full active pause like in baldurs gate (on console you need to keep L1/R1 pressed while in pause mode)

- difficulty is much lower in console version : pc normal is tougher than console hard mode

Thanks for telling me that... I thought the PC version was only gonna be a bit better graphically... 

I don't feel so bad at not being able to get the console version for it anymore! ^^
