Poll: Do you think Andromeda was delayed for the 1.5 consoles?

ME:A would have had 4K support anyway since it's coming out on PC. I'm not yet learned in the field of graphics rendering, but I can't imagine that there were too many performance tweaks BioWare would have needed to do for the 1.5 consoles that they wouldn't have already done just to get it running better on the current gen.

Regardless, even if BioWare did delay to get 4K working, that doesn't mean everything else needs to stop. Bug fixing, tweaking, and possibly some minor content additions can all be done in the time of the delay. I think the takeaway here is that a delay is a universally beneficial move.

And Bioware never changed its release timeframe since last year.

As a business move, probably.

Yep.  I'm more interested in HDR and virtual reality.

As for the OP's poll, I imagine it was pushed for a variety of reasons, including getting things up to snuff for the new consoles.

100% No. It's pretty simple, they don't have to do any work to make the game work on the PS4 Pro or Scorpio. They will work 'as is'. They can be patched or changed to take advantage of the new consoles at a later date like any of the other games currently out. Ultimately, if a game is getting a PC release (or already has) it's already 'prepared' for the next console. It's just a matter of testing to find the right settings for the new console.

The whole thing there using to 'not upscale but also not be a native resolution' is probably used on the other consoles too. Also - still upscaling. It's like saying something isn't Anti-Aliasing because it doesn't have AA in the name. It's bullshit, it's just another technique to DO that.

Oh that? That's not blue, no no, thats 'Sky'. Mhmm, fuck off, it's blue.

I think Sony asked them to show something in their presentation of consoles and Bioware was like FUCK YEA!! We can show something without going against EA rules "no grab the attention before Titanfall"

No it was delayed because they had to finish adding multiplayer that majorly affects the single player game and takes away all sorts of time and resources from the single player experience. I'm running with this one.

Doubt it.... really doubt it.
The game is in pre-Alpha = a production version that only needs tweaks, bug fixes, some polishing and last minute changes.

Also, the new hardware will not be ubiquitous as the PS4 and XB1. Delaying a game to support  thousands of PS4 Pro consoles
vs 18.5 million PS4s makes no sense.

they pushed the original release timeline because they wanted to maintain maximum cash flow for the other projects, when the bf1 dev's announced it got pushed back the ME:A team announced a 6 month lag almost immediately, which leads me to believe they pushed their release date more so as to de-conflict with other major title releases so they could own the market rather than enter when it has possible competition....

From what I've seen of the new consoles delaying your game to coincide with their launch would be a pretty big waste, there is no way that 6 months of development is worth a marginal resolution improvement

And they have to work in microtransactions where you buy the endings, but the ending pack you get is subject to RNG. Dupes will be possible. Also, you can only access the ending store by playing multiplayer.

Nope
