At first I was confused, because I was playing DAI in 4K @ 60 fps last night. And probably will again tonight.

Yeah, I had the same reaction at first, but quickly figured out it's those peasa... I mean those underprivil... I mean those poor... Aw, cmon, you know I am talking about those fine ladies and gentlemen, right? <innocent smile> Thatthink30FPSisgood...<runs away fast>

Wow everyone here seems very against this.

Strange...

it's as if Da4 is around the corner... which is not. Da I would gain replay value and Sale value again if it were 4k enhance, now noone buys it

That doesn't mean the factors are there for EA to justify releasing an update like this especially if the potential costs could be high.

I don't think it costs the developers to patch their games on xbox like it did back in the early days. I believe they get a certain amount of title updates per year for free on Xbox live (and they certainly haven't patched DAI recently. A simple resolution upgrade on the Xbox One X would do wonders to make the game look significantly better. Set your PC to 1600x900 and tell me it doesn't look blurry/fuzzy.

Just because a lot of you are running on PC and this doesn't interest you, why go out of your way to try and actively poo-poo on the idea of them enhancing the One X version?

By the way... I am primarily a PC gamer as well, but also have an Xbox one X and I think the game deserves a 4k patch.

If you want to go start your online petition that EA will ignore go for it. I am just saying I doubt EA would do it for I bet there is a lot more work then people expect to get it to work and I doubt any sales numbers bump would be enough to cover the cost to justify it to EA.

That's cool I guess that you are so concerned with EA's bottom line, but if you don't know the costs involved, why do you automatically assume it's not worth it? Was is worth it to patch it into ME:A?

I just simply agreed with the OP that it would be nice if they patched DAI.

I am giving reasons why I doubt EA would do it, I really don't care if they do it or not and frankly when you say people are "poo pooing the idea" you are doing more then just agreeing with the OP.

I am going to say this again for people seem to keep missing a key point with Andromeda. Mass Effect: Andromeda was designed and released to have 4K and HDR for the PS4 Pro, they even released a YouTube video for it. So all that type of content was tested and incorporated at the design level. Dragon Age: Inquisition was not designed for the PS4 Pro, it was designed to work on the PS3 and 360, so there could be a massive amount of work to massage the game into supporting 4K and HDR graphic levels for it wasn't something they were considering when the game was developed.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again and again until someone from EA listens to me...I would pay full, new release "AAA" price for Frosbite remakes of Origins and DA2.

I wouldn't even need "cut content" to be restored.

Yea I feel the same way about Final Fantasy VIII, Morrowind, and Fallout 3 & New Vegas. Here's hoping EA/Bioware can put together a simple team to work on a remaster that does not take away from DA4 development ala Skyrim SE (that's IF an update is even in the cards).

Yeah, same.

I mean, if they did restore some cut content then I would be extra happy. (I mean, if you're going to remake the whole game, why not design more than one cave?)

I would be all for it but IF EA/Bioware does indeed decide to grace us with HD Remakes of DAO & II, they will probably go the Fable Anniversary/Skyrim Special Edition route and not do anymore than is necessary if only to reduce the work load.

Oh, for sure - DEFINITELY wouldn't complain if that eventuated. I mean, there were two other Origin stories....right?

You clearly overestimate how much work and planning would be involved in a resolution increase. HDR, sure... that would take additional work since it was never designed with it in mind. But a resolution increase? Give me a break.

I have tried to go back and play Origins no less than 4 times and just can't, man it looks sooooooo janky. But I would absolutely if it looked like Inquisition. I would probably do the same for DA2.
