Why does this look like a PS3 game?

[Dionysus 🐭]

Honest question, not trying to hate. It looked... alright, watching the first trailer. But then I went to the second "gameplay" trailer and actually laughed. Is this some sort of port of an inquisition DLC, or is this a fully developed, new Dragon Age game? Like I said, i'm actually curious because I have not been following this game at all.

..How, in any way, does this look like a PS3 game.

Ok, PS4 launch game would probably be a better description. It definitely doesn't look current gen, or even like a late release last gen game.

I see the two-decade-plus long tradition of people either not remembering (or intentionally hyperbolically understating) the clearly discernable differences between PS3 games and contemporary games with modern global illumination, far greater geometric complexity, more extensive use of SSR (though, some PS3 games - notably games like Crysis 3 - did use an SSR layer for water,) more extensive use of PBR, significantly more extensive use of tessellation, much more extensive use of volumetric lighting, and obviously things like RT, to say nothing of just display resolutions ...

... continues unabated on internet forums everywhere when seeking to criticize a game.

Yep. And used some very nice SSR and cube maps for its water lol.

wait. how can crysis 3 run, but fallout new vegas barely can.

Well... "running" is relative lol. Crysis 3 on PS3 and 360 frequently dipped into the 25+ fps range. But then, so did Red Dead Redemption. So did many more games than many probably actually remember lol.

It's that art style they went with a more cartoony look to the game so it really does look like it could have come out in like 2015-2018 like in the PS4 gen like have you seen some of the executions moves those straight up look like it's from a mobile game at some points.

You can see parts of the game look really good then other parts look like it's from last gen or even worse especially when it's during combat, just goes to show how important art style is for game's like look at Arkham Knight a game from 2015 which still looks better than a lot of AAA game's coming out these day's.

What are you talking about? The PC specs for this game surpass the Playstation 8. So, no, the graphical fidelity on this game is not that of an old-generation console, you're just blind.

honestly despite the ps3's flaws i still wanna buy one. i really wish i grew up w a ps3, but i had a 360.

Well... it did have Ridge Racer 7. Aka the last real Ridge Racer probably ever to be made. (I've tried so many times to get into Unbounded. It's just not the same. Still a fun racer, though.) And Valkyria Chronicles (though that's on PC and other platforms, now, I believe.) And Little Big Planet. And Killzone 2. And MGS4.

I does not look like a PS3 game at all. In my opinion the graphics looks great as is expected from a fully developed new Dragon Age game,

EA doesn't care. They have the husk of Bioware and people still think that company exists.

There is nothing left save the corpse of Bioware, placed on puppet strings to beg for players' money in the hopes they won't notice the smell or the fake naughty bits, as people who understand what Bioware was long ago look on in horror and weep for the death of a great company.

Honestly i just want it for infamous.. mostly.
I love those games to death.

I'm surprised we have yet to see any sort of Infamous 1 & 2 remaster bundle or something, honestly.
