I get my games from various online stores instead of GameStop. One of the sites I go to occasionally has DA 3 listed for 3 systems PC, PS3, and the 360.

They have the game listed for TBD 2013 they also have a description of the game and the mention of the Frost Bite 2 Engine which is also a current-gen Engine used in Battle Field.

Also Bioware told us to keep saves from Origins & our DA 2 games also that IGN Article wasnt a Bioware Employee also wasnt offiically confirmed by Bioware themselves.

Also that Gentlemen was apart of EA while DA is under Bioware/EA that guy isnt over the DA games.

Everything I have found is still suggesting a Late Holiday 2013 Release date on track & on schedule for late 2013 so dont get your panties in a bunch people DA 3 will be on Current-Gen systems.

It could be done similar towards how they are going with God Eater 2 being a Dual Generation system game meaning both the PSP & The Vita while many have said that Ragnarok Tactics is the final PSP game nope they are wrong it is God Eater 2 scheduled to hit in 2013 sometime.

The PS Vita will be more superior to hits Big Brother PSP version and will have more bells & whisltes compared to the PSP version but the PSP version should look just as good considering God 2 is being re-worked from the Ground Up.

The same could be done with Dragon Age 3 being Dual Generations our Generation then with Next-Generation. As our Generation isnt dead yet with a Lifespan up to the year 2015 according to my research.

Saints Row 4 will also be on Current-Gen and very likely Mass Effect 4 considering the saves and Frost Bite 2 deal

WWE 14 has been confirmed to be current gen also Saints Row 4 was also spotted.

Truth is we don't know anything for sure as nothing has been confirmed.

Yeah but based on what I have found and the place where I get my games and the fact-of-the matter that the IGN.com Article was full of crap and not from the source.

Also you have to factor in Frost-Bite 2 and most importantly the deal with saves from Origins & DA 2 to be data imported into DA 3 is a sure bet that DA 3 will be on current gen sytstems.

Also could be a Dual Generation Cross Deal such as my God Eater 2 which is going to be PSP/Vita dual Generation release while the Vita is more superior.

Same could be done with Dragon Age 3 the Next-Gen versions would be more superior and would house additonal details and other goodies our current-gens couldnt do or handle.

But I am betting based on the info I have un-covered yes Dragon Age 3 will be current as well as next-gen.

Saints Row 4 will also be current but the big question is Mass Effect 4 which is a largely unknown.

Means nothing. Stuff like this is completely subject to change.

They have the game listed for TBD 2013 they also have a description of the game and the mention of the Frost Bite 2 Engine which is also a current-gen Engine used in Battle Field.

Point being? It can't be used next gen?

Also Bioware told us to keep saves from Origins & our DA 2 games also that IGN Article wasnt a Bioware Employee also wasnt offiically confirmed by Bioware themselves.

Bioware's been full of s*** more often than not of late. You have them saying they'll import saves while reports come out that they're looking for alternatives to this, and difficulties such as engine changes, gen changes, and the fact that DA2 doesn't have a good export save.

Also that Gentlemen was apart of EA while DA is under Bioware/EA that guy isnt over the DA games.

Where's the Bioware or EA representative that claims this to be wrong?

Everything I have found is still suggesting a Late Holiday 2013 Release date on track & on schedule for late 2013 so dont get your panties in a bunch people DA 3 will be on Current-Gen systems.

If it is, the game is probably in a lot of trouble. We're well past the hardware limitations of the current gen, and it's showing in a very bad way with the continued graphics race, and 2013 makes for too short a development time for the game to be any good considering they'll have to rebuild their toolset from scratch for the new engine.

Another deal about going all next-gen is it could have something to do with Pre-Listed Choices this is how DA 2 did with a list of choices if those that didnt beat or finish Origins could instead pick from a pre-list history instead of importing Origins into 2.

DA 3 if it did go all into Next-Gen could opt the Pre-List History Choices such as one for Hawke then another for Warden or a Dual Combination combining both of them. Thus in the main storyline of DA 3 they would show in Cameo Form such as Drunk Allistar in DA 2 done.

Mass Effect 4 if it went next-gen could also do the pre-listed history choices of Shepard even though Shepard isnt going to be the new MC of the next game the choices Shepard Made will still have a cause n' effect into Mass Effect 4.

So I guess it could be possible for Dragon Age 3 & ME 4 both to be entirely next-gen games it could give Bioware more time in the Oven with 3 and make 3 the best ever Dragon Age game and pollish up even more.

I hope the 720 will be 299 like I have been hearing on I can handle 299 for a next-gen system but I will not pay 600+ like with the Playstation 4s rumored launch Price.

Also people have got it wrong on the 720 it will be a tradional console that finally has Blue-Ray with Kinect 2.0 there will be 2 versions of the 720 one is Bare-Bone & the other is the Main Deal with more gear.

Sort of how the Wii-U done with Basic and the other package. Also people got the 720 mixed up with Xbox TV Device this is the deal where it will only play Indie or XBL games via Apps.

The 720 is still a traditonal console unknown if the other rumors are true such as Banning Used games, always on device, Password Restrictions and other details remain a largely unknown.

Cant wait for Dragon Age 3 will Morrigan return, will Cassandra & Leliana be more important who is the Main MC of DA 3 what is there name.

What kind of new Background Choices are they will it be like Slavery, Inquistion, Bandits and or a Noble.

I think the strongest evidence that DA:3 will be on the current gen is the creative director said that player saves will be able to be imported.

All of the rumor reports about DA3 going next gen are ultimately 1-source news items, which is a horrible way of presenting information, IMO. The source doesn't even seem to be a valid one.

Granted, the rumor could end up being true, but putting too much stock into it now is a little unwarranted.

"Cloud storage guys. its on every current gen."

What has that got to do with anything? The concern would be one generation being able to fully utilize an older gen's data and access things without too many bugs. Going from current gen to current gen created enough bugs as is.

We haven't touched the hardware limits yet. Just look at game size. The PlayStation bluray disc holds 5 times as much space as a DVD. Xbox doesn't use bluray and their copies of the game are on one disc. Which means we are not using the full storage capabilities of the PlayStation. Both systems are still capable of more. It was the same last gen. They could easily put this game on these systems.

I thnk DA 3 will be on both generations current and the next, sort of how they are doing it God Eater 2 for PSP & Vita getting the same game it just looks shiner on the Vita.

Makes me wanna play it on both systems cause I have God 1 completed & saved for God 2.

See God 2 also asks us to keep our files from God 1 however God 2 is dual generations cross system deal.

A Similar deal can be done with Dragon Age 3 with next gen just looking more shiner cause of superior graphics and high end tech under the hood.

I still believe that DA 3 is still on track for late Holidays 2013 cause nothing has been said or confirmed by Bioware. That guy that was in the IGN.com was under EA and should be treated as rumors & speculations.

This is can be like a THQ guy that Works on a game say Darksiders and say hey I know what WWE 14 is going to be like same deal when in fact they just work under the THQ under diffrent departments they are just under the THQ Name.

Same deal with EA just cause that guy was with EA dosent mean he has inside info regarding DA 3 or which system or generation it will belong on. Also he was in a diffrent Country also Bioware EA is in Canada.

So for all you worrying about DA 3 skipping this gen fret not dear friends DA 3 will be on curent so will Saints Row 4 all THQ games in the works now will not be affected by the THQ deal ongoing so yes there will be a WWE 14.

More than likely the final WWE Under THQ. So all games will be on current other than the games in the works when a game says Project or has a codename this means Next-Gen Only.

Dragon Age 3 uses Frostbite 2, Mass Effect 4 will also use Frost Bite 2, Frost Bite 2 is a current gen engine.

Dragon Age 3 & ME 4 asks for saves from previous games this can not be done with Next-Gen cause of hard ware issues.

I am still firm on my belief yes Dragon Age 3 will be current so will WWE 14, Saints Row 14 and the new game Remember ME.

Look Current Gen has a life line up to 2015 remember just cause next gen hits dosent mean that current gen is dead,

We have learned this with the PS2 and the PSP that still say many game made for it hell the PSP still has games made for and Ragnarok Tactics is not the final PSP game that would be God Eater 2 which is & will be the final PSP game.

So fret not we will be playing DA 3 at the end of the year.

Even though a large game like Skyrim was a paltry 3.6 GB.

Yes, 3.6GB on a disc designed to hold 16+GB on a system designed to read and handle said disc. Often times, we don't push our technology to its limits because something new is coming out every few months. Then we don't push that to its limits because something else came out.

Please stop.

Disk space is not a concern. It has never been a concern. When people speak of technology being maxed out disk space is the farthest thing from their minds because it does not matter in the least. You pointing this out in this discussion is like arguing a notepad computer can run Crysis 2 effectively because it'll have GBs of storage to spare.

People Bioware has officially said nothing about Dragon Age 3 skiping current, that IGN article isnt the real deal and was an un-official statement.

I have found the games listedo n a couple of gaming sites many still say TBD 2013 or Q4th 2013 all info still indicates Winter 2013.

Like Sony or Microsoft has made no official announcements regarding the 720 or PS4 yet people will not shut up about them.

Do I think they will be released this year maybe both of them no one will miss and hit Q1st 2014 while the 720 will hit Holidays 2013 for about 350 bucks.

Look until something official comes across about DA 3 I will still hold firm to my theory & my findings about DA 3 seem to be true while not proven I still belive they are the real deal.

Dual Generation System release,
4x World Larger Map meaning Opened World like a Skyrim or Fallout
Large Battle Fields with Catapults could be part of the Orlais Civil War
10 Man Squad this time
Arena Based MP Mode where you can even be a Dragon
Background Choices similar towards Origins Inquistion, Slave, Thief and others could be possible choices each Background will change the game in some way.

Flemeth Returns
Sandal & Bohdan will somehow be in the game or help with the MC such as they did with Hawke - My Theory they will help setup the Customizable Castle Deal which is your Base of Operations.

Customization is more deeper not only you but now your Squadmates from there Armors and can also color them will be Similar towards the Wiis Last Story deal.

Also I found the date to Lightining Returns it isnt this Fall or Winter like many claim it to be but instead this Spring/Summer May 2013.

Shin Megami IV is also coming Late TBA so is God Eater 2 which is also Dual Generations such as Dragon Age 3 will be.

Saints Row 4 could also be another Dual Generation game as well as WWE 14 hopefully on the portables this time.

I will post more info on DA 3 as I find it but things are really really quite even on the boards so it could be months before anything is revealed.

Took me forever to find this info.

Mano, you really have to stop it. Your information is largely baseless, often wrong, and completely off any sort of topic of discussion. You are not in the know.

Also one of the main guys over Dragon Age 3 said via Twitter that DA 3 is still on track for 2013 and said other deals about the IGN.com article.

Also I still think DA 3 will be Dual Generations.

I'm not sure about this Dual generation release theory. From a business standpoint, Dragon Age hasn't moved enough units for them to risk spending enough more on development by trying to add more consoles into the mix.

By "Dual Generation", are we including the 360 and PS3, as well as the 720 and PS4 (possibly Wii U as well)? That's a lot of time and effort to sink into an entry in a series that stumbled somewhat in its previous installment. Given that they are still shooting for a launch this holiday, when the PS4 is supposed to launch, I don't see it happening. It might be great for current gen, but given the development time, it would probably be redundant on PS4/720.
