Dragon Age 2 To Receive “Super Hot” Graphics
Bioware’s first title on the PlayStation 3 was a hit amongst RPG fans. Dragon Age certainly wasn’t an eye sore, however the developers are looking to improve the action RPG visually in their next title for the series.
BioWare VP Greg Zeschuk spoke to Joystiq, confirming they are putting in a lot of work to make the graphics stand out for Dragon Age 2.
I think one of the key things we’re working on in Dragon Age 2 is the technology. I can confirm that we’re doing a lot of work on the Dragon Age engine, and doing a lot of stuff to pump it — to make it visually super hot.
I think the overall visual style we’re going to continue to evolve in Dragon Age. People are going to see some cool … I can’t really say too much, but I think Dragon Age as a world is interesting. It’s a timeline, and you can go anywhere.
BioWare’s CEO recently commented on developing Dragon Age for Sony’s system.
Dragon Age was our first title for PS3, and it’s done really well. PS3 is a great system and we enjoy developing for it, much as we enjoy developing for 360 and PC and other platforms.
The developers are also creating a few PS3 titles currently in development. Check out PlayStaionLifeStyle’s review of the RPG.

I dont care what system you had Dragon Age for, even running it maxed on PC it was an eye sore…. The game was rushed imo…

I have to agree with Se7eN. This game was an eye sore to look at. I was running this game on MAX on my PC and just hated the article of this game. Everything just looked so muddy for some reason.

I’m not “really, really young” and I think the game looked brutal. I grew up playing games on a C64 and I’m not a graphics whore by any standard, but when I started up DA:O, I was pretty surprised. And while I’m at it, what the hell were they thinking with the hats? Seriously, I hate wearing them on my characters because they look so ridiculous.
Mind you I’m having a tough time even getting into the game anyways; I made the mistake of buying into the “Baldur’s Gate – spiritual successor” thing and man, it is not. “Press x when your target dies” is a really boring combat system. You fill in a few tactics slots (or just leave the default ones, I suppose) and you party goes off and kills everything. Pop over to them to hit heal every once in a while and wait for the win.
Maybe the PC version is better than the console version, I don’t really know. I think I’m looking for BG3 and I ended up with a Fallout 3-style of treatment (that is to say good, but not what I want). Either way, DA:O is one ugly game compared to the PS3 titles I have sitting on my desk.

The PC version is exactly the same. I couldn’t even finish the game because of that.

Well that sucks i know that you should not judge a game by what everyone says about it, but i thought this game had excellent reviews. Ill just have to check it out for my self.

I don’t care if they de-evolve the graphics as long as the characters will be back and you’ll have even more choices and decisions in DA2.
