Next Mass Effect game to be a generational leap in graphics

The graphic seems to be even better than those of Dragon Age Inquisition. That seems insane to me, as the DA already looks amazing now from all the videos.

Today I had a chance to check out Dragon Age: Inquisition at Gamescom, and to chat with BioWare Creative Development Senior Director Alistair McNally, who is also working on the nextMass Effect.

While Dragon Age: Inquisition definitely looked impressive running on PC (and you’ll learn all about it in a dedicated preview soon) McNally was very clear in mentioning that the nextMass Effect looks a generation beyond the upcoming fantasy game visuals-wise.

That’s because Dragon Age: Inquisition is still a cross-generation game, and there are a lot of factors limiting the current generation version due to the fact that the gameplay needs to be the same on old-gen consoles.

The next Mass Effect (unfortunately I could not convince McNally to reveal its actually title, to the surprise of no one, even if he did confirm that the previously leaked code name Mass Effect: Contact was indeed used by BioWare, but it’s not the official title) will not suffer from the same issue, so BioWare will be able to complete the generational leap.

The last Mass Effect game was on last generation consoles so I'm glad to hear the Mass Effect on current generation consoles will be graphically better. :P

Well the article was refering to Dragon Age, it's going to be a generational leap over Dragon Age

@The_Last_Ride: Ah, well still not that surprising since it is a cross-gen game.. And a producer saying their next game is going to have stellar graphics is nothing new.

Anyhow, hope the next ME game is good, wonder if that will be a 2016 game.

oh, i thought it was only coming for next gen

To clarify I mean it's not surprising because Dragon Age is a cross-gen game.. But yeah, I really hope the next ME game is current gen only.. If it comes out 2015 I bet it's cross-gen, if it is 2016 I could see it be current gen only.

Just great Bioware... get me even more excited and then make me wait an eternity!!!

thats Bioware, it felt like a decade waiting for Mass Effect 3 after I finished 2

If Bioware is abandoning PS360, then yeah, I believe they can do it.

That's what is holding games back, too many PS360 games ported to the hardware (Destiny, Watch Dogs, Rise of the Tomb Raider, etc).

I read in the link Bioware is not going to be shackled to 2005 old hardware for the next Mass Effect, so that's good news if true.

i think it's going to be 2015 fall at the earliest, so i expect 2016 release
