FRIDAYTON MK II: 5.5 million bears and salmon create unholy allliance to sack SONY HQ
- Thread starter Canis lupus
- Start date
Not sure how you can possibly say we won't see any differences.
Esp with it being 50% more powerful.
Honestly.
So many politically correct statements like this in this thread. A spade's a spade man.
So it's better than before?

It was Amir0x? It must have been a joke then. It's only funny if the original was done by someone who was serious.

I for one am not worried at all. If you had PS3 since launch and went through all of those growth pains to seeing what the console is now, this should not even be an issue.
I have no doubt Sony will continue to improve on the PS4 through its lifetime and now they have the memory to do that. I am here for the exclusives anyway. Seeing games like Uncharted, Last Of Us, Journey and Killzone on PS3 with less that 512MB to work with...are you really worried about what these first Party Devs are going to be able to do?
The games will look great and the tools will get better with time. Non issue IMO

I am somewhat hoping that Sony wise up and actually limit the OS to a maximum of 2GB. I feel this should be more than enough to add whatever superfluous feature that nobody will use, allowing developers to bring the best from the console with 6GB.

Hmmm I thought I read somewhere on this thread that 5.5 is for 1st party only, I could have miss read it, forgive me if I was wrong, no harm intended.

I am. As a graphic whore who loves playing stuff at 2fps on pc just to get every single piece of super sampling out of it, The last of us still looked fantastic and it's one of my favorite games in a long time for sure. That said the fps drops which there was quite a few of and aliasing and such at times made me think of how mind blowing it would have looked on ps4 or a good pc.... I just can't help not think that sometimes.

Pretty much. I don't understand why people are complaining. You're getting an extra half-gen of graphics.
Two for one, nice.

Yep, it could've had 120GB GDDR5 RAM and smite your enemies while you sleep.
All things considered, it's still more powerful and less expensive than its competitor, and doesn't forced "da futur of arm waving!!1!" cameras down your throat.
I'd still say Sony's in a good place.

The GPU alone in the PS4 is what made the gap so big to begin with. The bandwidth of the ram and the amount was just icing on the cake.
And then people bitch when others say that current gen still held the game back and how they'd love an 1080p, 60 fps, high res texture port. Regardless of if that's possible or not, I don't really care, it just sickens me when people go on witch hunts on other people for wishing for that.
Beautiful, NeoGAF.

Only his second time I believe. Plenty reposted it, though.
The resolution is increasing...
It's going from sub 720p to 1080p. That's a good difference.

I chuckled. Perfect post to retire both memes on.
This and they still have the huge bandwidth difference with the RAM

4.5 not 5.5 what is the 1gb debugging thing even mean? I thought PS4 had dev kits why would you need a gig for debugging? This makes no sense just like my attempt at a sentence.

But the devs will get more to work with over time. How do you not understand that? 4.5 GB is for now where devs don't know how to even use more than 3 GB.

I this thread I learned:-
Neogaf have some posters that are clearly hypocrites. I have argued against a Sony bias for a while but now im unsure
People actually want the TvTvTv functions of The X1, the messaging was just wrong (Something which has been said from day one)
Sony have not changed their policy of giving with one hand and taking with another. Every Sony product I own, while On par and mostly better than its peers as at least one limitation that is absoultely rage inducing.
Everyone has forgotten how the promise of extra power has never been tapped in simlar consoles by the majority of developers ever. If its not there from Day 1, its not there at all.
That people are far far married to brands than their own pockets.
Whatever. I am a man of princple. If i criticise Microsoft for something, im not going to pretend its not a problem when Sony does it. Im out. Next gen can wait till its at a similar entry price as I got into this generation. If we have to wait till years 2 or 3 before we see games that take full advantage of PS4 hardware, then Ill wait 2 or 3 years. Im not going to put down hard earn cash on something that is less siginficant in abilty than previously advertised. Im nobodies mug.

I just don't want there to be any confusion about the PS4's superiority. Any weakness whatsoever will be seen by the media as an advantage for the XBONE, given the way they've acted in the past.
As I said before, giving developers more to work with is never a bad thing, especially compared to just more shitty apps. I don't give a damn about apps - that shit is what my iPad is for. I want the beastliest games possible.
And if the theoretical cap is only 5.5, that's not a big enough jump. We don't need 2.5GB of worthless UI nonsense. I'd rather have a damn command prompt if it means the games are better.

Lol, like a moth to a flame, you are!
He should apologize to Cowboy.
1280x720 to 1920x1080 is huge.
Some people are going to be shocked when they play these new consoles on their 1080p TVs.
People are just overacting to nothing. Sony reduce the PS3 OS footprint from around 150MB to around 50MB. Down the road, more RAM will be available to the developers as Sony reduce the PS4 memory footprint.
Sure more RAM is better, but that doesn't mean it will it will make a bad game into a good game.

Pretty much everything is a rumor and speculation at this point. I personally doubt we will see PS4 games that look significantly better then Xbox One games - even though it seems clear the PS4 has more power. First party games might look better, but I doubt people will see much difference in cross platform games.
No problem. Maybe it'll get you to stop and start typing something that adds to the discussion.
That said, I'm still gonna wait for something official to come from Sony in relation to this. I said it earlier, but just a few weeks ago we jumped on DF/Eurogamer for their confusing bullshit about upclocks/downclocks with the Xbone and Leadbetter. Not sure why everyone automatically assumes that this rumor is immediately true based on their recent track-record.
5.6 JB of ram won't be much different than 5.5
Still shouldn't use more than 2-3gb as of now, even at 60fps.
