Dragon Age 2 Will Look "Super Hot"
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
*sigh* Super Hot graphics will require Super Hot Hardware, and many people won't be willing to dish the money out. Or well, they would, but won't be too happy about it and in 3 months' time when another epic game requires them to upgrade their hardware, they just won't do it.
I suppose many of the people that asked for better graphics are kids with too much money on their hands. Seriously, wtf, in a story-driven game like Dragon Age you'd ask for better graphics!? I would be just as happy to play if if it had a graphic engine from 5 years ago.

Sequels with better graphics is hardly news but dragon ages problem is that its very hit and miss the lighting in many area like the mages tower is excellant but the characters are far too lifeless to be believable
It's not rude of Bioware to shove out a sequel just a few months after release. Remember who owns Bioware, and doing such a thing is right up EA's alley. If you don't believe me, how often do madden games come out with little improvement on the previous version?coldalarm said:
Oh great. Better graphics on the same engine will mean longer loading times, smaller areas, forcing you to run the same areas over and over, regurgitating textures, and just general chew up more budgeting and human resources at the expense of all the other and arguably more important game facets.
The games industry is in need of a revolution. Let's stop talking about graphics and start talking about art. There need to be more games that accept that they are not reality, they are only imitations and/or depictions of reality - or even fantasy in this case: and thus embrace the creative potential of their medium, using non-realistic art styles to achieve more of a sense of immersion. Something like what happened in the late 19th century with the advent of photography; instead of trying harder to make their paintings more realistic, French artists instead made them less realistic and more subjective - and thus impressionism was born. This is what the games industry needs. There should be more games like Borderlands and World of Warcraft which have an intentionally non-realistic and stylised art design.
There I go again, being all idealistic.

Well, my favorite title of 2009 and on my PC the graphics were great. Maybe not mind blowing, but they are just part of the equation. Now, Dragon Age 2 (wait, I was hoping for few expansion packs in coming years...) will likely be like so many cutting edge PC titles and I'll have to wait two years after until PC is upgraded to be able to play it.
alistair was actually my favorite besides morrigan, his "emo pansy bitchness" came from his sarcasm, and slight laziness, he was in no way emo or a panzy, considering he is a bamf grey warden, your opinion thoSnootyEnglishman said:
and yeah who is complaining so much about graphics? if its a good game (which it was, i haven't been dissapointed by bioware) then mostly i could care less about graphics, they have always been fine, if your looking for graphics go watch transformers or something
Giving it "Super Hot" graphics to make the fans who didn't like it happy? Are we going to cater to every peasant we come across? (Morrigan Disapproves -15)
Toning down the immature blood and tits and having a story that wasn't pulled out of somebody's ass, and then maybe I'll care about Dragon Age 2.
