Dragon Age (PS3 Version) has low frame per second?

I heard that PS3 version of Dragon Age is not good in presentation. You can often notice low FPS or lag when complex scene appears. Sometimes it can really bother you and frustrates your gaming experience. Is that true??

You'll notice it as you play, but it doesn't make the game anywhere near unplayable. I'm about 7 hours in, and the inconsistent framerate hasn't been an issue for me.

Hopefully Bioware can patch that up.

If you guys read some reviews you would see that the Xbox version looks like crap, but runs fine, the PS3 version looks great but has framerate issues and if you have a STELLAR PC, you should be able to run the game with good graphics and constant framerate! The question is, do you have a machine that can run it? Most people on the Dragon age board are having issues running the game.

The framerate takes nothing away from the experience BTW! So if you cant run it on PC, buy it on Xbox or PS3. Done deal.

Ive played for 20 hours or so and you can notice it here and there but its an amazing game and I for one can look over those small problems.

PS3 version, you may be able to play the PC on a very low res with everything on low with 3-10FPS, and it's unplayable at that point, but you could always build a new PC.

the gamespot review said that the PC version played and looked the best, but that the ps3 was second. They said the textures were better than 360, but that there were a few glitches and frame rate drops. It doesn't make it unplayable.

The graphical difference is less then the fps difference between the two

To be honest, I own the PS3 version and I've watched my friends play it on their 360, and I really didn't notice enough to say that one was much superior than the other. They both had minute issues, but nothing that would deter anyone from getting it on any console version.

I'm about 6 hours into the game and I have noticed some frame rate problems.

It can be a bit annoying at times, but it shouldn't stop anyone from purchasing the PS3 version of the game.

There are definitely framerate inconsistencies, but it is nowhere near bad enough for me to complain about.

it can be a bit jumpy from time to time on PS3, but it doesn't really matter. If you let something as minor as a few drops in framerate here and there deter you from experiencing and enjoying a great game such as this then that's your own foolish mistake. However, one issue I've come across that's a little inexcusable is from time to time when a character is talking... they aren't. Basically, their mouths move, the camera gets all dramatic, their emotions change on their faces... and no voice. I feel this a bit more of an issue than a tiny amount of stuttering because you could be potentially missing out on important plot information because the character suddenly decided to become mute. One thing that's strange about the voice drop outs is that it's not always in the same spot with the same characters. At one point I had a dropout from character A, went on a bit, got murdered and had to reload. Then when they got to the same point in the dialogue, they had no problems speaking freely. Probably just some kind of programming bug, nothing a patch can't fix (but annoying nonetheless). TL;DR some sound issues detract from the story and may cripple playability/enjoyment a bit, but the FPS issue is quite the contrary... a non-issue. OH GOD IT SLOWED DOWN A BIT AND I HAD TO WATCH MY DUDE SKIP HIS STEP AND JUST APPEAR A FOOT AHEAD OF WHERE HE WAS! ALTHOUGH THIS TAKES NOTHING AWAY FROM THE STORY OR REAL GAMEPLAY... SCREW THIS GAME! I'LL JUST GO OUT AND SPEND BUTTLOADS ON AN OVER THE TOP PC GAMING RIG TO GET STEADY 60FPS! IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT LULZrikguenther

Ive experienced that talking glitch you speak of too. The way I fixed it so that I wouldnt miss any dialogue was just to put subtitles on when talking with another character.

[QUOTE="Wild_Card"][QUOTE="Agent_Kaliaver"] Considering how you can experience the same effect with both low fps and lag it is fully understandable to say that. And yeah.... it is said quite often. And lagging doesn't have to mean anything with an internet connection. If you are running slower than anyone else... you are lagging so it do work for singleplayer.raven_squad

[QUOTE="raven_squad"]

[QUOTE="Wild_Card"]no, lag has nothing to do with any thing you exp in offline single play. lag has every thing to do with online. it is caused normaly by slow or poor net connection speed and iirc packet loss. offline stutters are caused by low frame rates ect. Wild_Card

[QUOTE="Wild_Card"][QUOTE="raven_squad"] And pray tell, what is the significant difference between the effects of the two? Slowdown is really the only thing the player experiences in either of them. The technical nature certainly isn't the same, but the aftermath is. I often find myself referring to FPS dips as lag, just because it's simpler, and the difference is inconsequential.

raven_squad

I read just fine. Its you who seem to have a problem with your reading comprehension .Seeing as i explained that lag gives more effect than just the perception of low FPS. The fact is your just plain wrong but you are to big of a child to accept it but would rather run off at the mouth with your pathetic attempts at insult. Wich makes you by far the bigger "fool". especially seeing as you dont even know the def between lag and low FPS to begin with lol. But as i said, if you want to keep sounding ignorant and acting like a child have at it, your not hurting me one bit.

you should absolutely pick up the PC version. my roommate and i just picked up both a ps3 and x360 copy, and the ps3's framerate is disgusting. walking and looking around at the environments at the same time looks choppy horrible (on ps3, 720p), especially for a game that isnt ripe with amazing visuals in the first place. i literally am taking the ps3 version back and just playing it on xbox. also, the ps3 version cant output in 1080(i or p) for some ridiculous reason. get it on pc, because you get both a smooth framerate and much more detailed visuals than 360.
