Dragon Age franchise console-bound sometime in the future

by Ross Miller { Jul 15th 2008 at 1:00AM }

BioWare's Greg Zeschuk told attendees at the Electronic Arts that the Dragon Age franchise will, at some point, cross the PC threshold and head into the realm of consoles. A vague release window like that isn't reassuring to those hoping for a day-and-date multiplatform, but we don't expect the wait for some sort of console Dragon Age game to last too long.

Blagh. Hopefully that doesn't make for a dumbed down PC release. Bioware has been away from PC for far too long.

I don't know man, if anyone knows how to make a good PC RPG, it's Bioware, and with everything they've done with KOTOR and Mass Effect on PC, I'm not worried in the least. If anything, their PC versions have been better than their console counterparts.

The PS3 version should get Toolset support. That would be great.

After they "dumbed down" Mass Effect and Jade Empire for PC's :P It's only fair that console owners get to enjoy Dragon Age now as well. I'll definitely be waiting then, I always prefer playing games on my consoles.

Let's just get this game out of the gate for PC, and feel like a great PC RPG, then they can worry about making the equivalent of what Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance was. If this is anything like BG or NWN, it's interface will be fine tuned for the mouse and keyboard, so that will certainly need to be reworked.
