‘Dragon Age: Inquisition’ gameplay looks at combat, choice, and consequence

By Adam Rosenberg Published December 2, 2014

It turns out that Dragon Age: Inquisition looks an awful lot like the previous Dragon Age games, though it’s much prettier, even when shakycam-captured off of a demo screen. BioWare showed off the footage at Finland’s Digiexpo (via Polygon), and the video comes from one attendee that was okay with holding up a camera for 30 minutes. Thanks nameless Digiexpo attendee!

The clip runs through some of the story, so consider this your spoiler warning. The Inquisitor and his followers pays a visit to a town that’s been attacked, and since the town is in league with the Inquisition, you’re there to help. The gameplay highlights exploration and combat as well as a bit of the series’ trademark focus on choice and consequence. There’s not much more to say than that; check out the footage below to see for yourself, and let us know in the comments what you think.

A supposed cover image is stirring skepticism, while a Switch 2 claim points to Call of Duty’s long-awaited Nintendo return

A supposed Modern Warfare 4 cover art leak is circulating online, and the post sharing it already warns readers to be careful around fake leaks.

That caution fits the moment. Call of Duty speculation is moving quickly again, but the stronger thread is tied to platforms, not artwork.

Valve’s Steam Machine price may scare off console buyers

Things are looking rough for Valve’s upcoming Steam Machine

Valve has made the Steam Deck much more expensive, and that is a worrying signal for anyone waiting on the upcoming Steam Machine.

The 512GB Steam Deck OLED now costs $789, rising from its previous $549 price, while the 1TB OLED model has moved from $649 to $949. Valve has linked the increase to higher memory and storage costs, which are being driven by the ongoing AI boom. Now, a well-known Valve leaker has shared a disappointing update for gamers waiting for the Steam Machine.

Valve has officially raised the prices of the Steam Deck OLED in the US and several other global markets, and the increases are substantial. The move makes the company the latest major gaming platform holder to hike hardware pricing amid rising component costs and ongoing global economic pressures.

The biggest shock comes from the higher-end models. The 1TB Steam Deck OLED now costs $950 in the US, up from its original $650 launch price. Meanwhile, the 512GB OLED version has jumped from $550 to $790.
