Former BioWare general manager\u00a0Aaryn Flynn has conceded that CD Projekt RED\u2019s The Witcher 3 is a better game than Dragon Age: Inquisition<\/strong>. Speaking to USA Today\u2019s For The Win, Flynn revealed that Dragon Age: Inquisition\u2019s development suffered due to the Frostbite engine, which DICE created for its Battlefield series. Additionally, the game was bogged down by cross-gen development.<\/p>\n

The Witcher 3 vs Dragon Age: Inquisition \u2013 why CDPR\u2019s game is better<\/h2>\n

According to Flynn, the \u201cbiggest compromise\u201d came from shipping Dragon Age: Inquisition on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 simultaneously with its PS4 and Xbox One versions. \u201cThat crushed so much ambition because we didn\u2019t have the team size or the time to differentiate those things, truly,\u201d he said. \u201cSo you had to kind of develop the lowest common denominator, and as that came in, that certainly beat out some expectations and ambitions we had for certain fun features in gameplay. In contrast, CD Projekt didn\u2019t do that with\u00a0The Witcher 3, a few months later, and I think their game was better for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worth noting that CD Projekt RED didn\u2019t have a publisher like Electronic Arts breathing down its neck. Flynn\u2019s comments indicate that the decision to ship Dragon Age: Inquisition for both hardware generations came from higher up. That said, he seems to blame Frostbite equally for the game\u2019s development woes.\u00a0\u201cBeing a programmer, I underestimated the difficulty that Frostbite was presenting to our dev teams, and I wish I wish I\u2019ve done a better job of communicating that to the top brass at EA,\u201d Flynn regretfully told USA Today while taking a portion of the blame. \u201cI wish I\u2019d been understanding of the friction the engine created for us building a very different kind of game.\u201d<\/p>\n
