Dragon Age - On Console Versions @ MTV

by Dhruin, 2009-02-26 20:52:07

MTV's recent comments on Dragon Age not suiting console audiences launched a lengthy thread on our forums.  MTV has returned to the subject, talking briefly to Dan Tudge about bringing DA to consoles.  Dan doesn't say much but he does claim that Dragon Age remains a "core" PC experience, while the console versions aren't just a port:

The situation is the opposite of “Mass Effect,” where BioWare designed the interface in a console-friendly format first before bringing in a team to tweak their foundation to work best with a keyboard and mouse interface on the PC version.

“We really started ['Dragon Age'] right from the get go as a core PC title,” he said. “During development, we realized this didn’t just have to be PC — the audiences have migrated. [We have been] able to do things that still keep it very old school and [a] very spiritual successor to ‘Baldur’s Gate’ but also make it new and accessible.”
