Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

Wait, so Weaste is online and active, he's just avoiding this thread in particular?

That's probably the most damning news Sony have heard all year.
 
FFS :lol:

This gen, messing around with memory up to 8 (maybe a little higher) would change things.

Next gen it'll go up.

You are confusing a closed system console with an open PC. Games aren't limited to what they use on a PC! That's why you can play PS3 level games on a PC with less memory, just as much as you can play them on a system with more. I think this is where you are getting confused.

Crikey, this is getting tedious now :lol:

I think the problem is you think I'm saying that PC RAM is the same as PS3 RAM. I'm not. What I am saying though, is that current gen games are limited; that they try to be made to run well on a PC with 3gb of RAM free. I have never said anywhere that 3gb of RAM on a PC translates to 3gb or 2gb or 1gb of RAM on a console. It's, presumably, not that easy.

So what I am saying is that, dropping from 16gb to 8gb of RAM on PC wouldn't make any difference to running one current gen game. Dropping from 8gb to 4gb on a PC would make virtually no difference to running one current gen game. Dropping from 4gb to 2gb would render many games unrunable.

To be fair to him, I can guess why. He'll be back though :lol:


And it's not like this has come as a big shock, I said at least 6 years ago what would happen this generation, so all the shit Sony have done to this console is not a surprise, it was inevitable.

Plus I think he might be hiding because I'm going to keep mentioning the Sharebutton. Do people still think the Wii-U is so casual now? :lol:
 
And no, I cannot and will not come out with things I know. I'm happy to speculate at times though, which I already have in places, and ironically enough my speculation is often more accurate than the facts, the memory issue is one big example of that!

I'll leave this thread for a few days for a hiatus.

But why? :)

:lol::lol: Oh please! You've just got that from the count, and that isn't even strictly true! You are getting very confused.


As I said, read up. I'm not going to waste my time with a technical presentation to people who refuse to see the point. Especially to someone who thinks adding an extra 4gb to a console last minute is down to PR!

He's posted in the werewolf thread over 150 times since the ps4 announcement

My bloody feck did I!? I've been saying that not bloody stop!!

And I didn't say it was PR! I said they wanted to show they will go toe-to-toe with MS but would rather not made the change (costs). Which is basically what you said, (although you have also said that theyve done it because they chose to drop CELL).

Argh!

Anyway, right, hiatus.
 
He's rattled alright. That's pretty hilarious actually given his activity in this thread leading up to the reveal. He's also definitely reading all of our posts talking about him and probably building up a fair bit of anger.

You said it was PR! And you didn't say anything of the sort about the memory under those terms :lol:

It's best you do take a hiatus, I give up trying to get anything useful in there anyway :lol:

Just enjoy the games, that's my advice matey! :)
 
This is what I said to you days ago Lambs in a PM

On a PC, I cant see there being a blind, damned bit of difference whether you had 4GB or 8GB or 16GB's of RAM, if all you are doing is running one game. The speed of the RAM, the speed of the hard drive, the speed and capacity of the CPU and the speed and capacity of the GPU would be what I'm looking for. Although actually, I don't have a clue about CPU's and GPU's so would just use cpubenchmark.net

But yeah, I quite literally don't understand why you need so much. For skyrim the PS3 apparently bottlenecked, or at least that's what a million articles say. Sony were trying to.. 'trick' the PS3 into letting up whole of the RAM for it. And its seems obvious why, Skyrim has huge maps, huge amounts of data, huge amounts of textures.

Think what you want. You're not reading properly. or a WUM

Seriously? I fecking told you I didn't have time to read that properly, and still haven't! I would have replied and explained more in technical terms in time, but as for what goes on in here I was talking about this thread and input in here.


But fine, you piss off back to your little gaming sites and believe all you want. My proof is in this very thread, I don't need to prove anything else to you or the other mindless twats who want to run around aimlessly pretending they know what they are talking about. This isn't neogaf and we aren't writing for eurogamer :lol:

But yeah, let's just believe Sony went down PC world and bought another 4gb of memory and stuck it in for fun and PR, and leave it at that shall we?

You've spent enough time posting on here.

I don't read gaming sites. At all. Pretty much all I read is redcafe these days. I'm not a big gamer. I'm barely a gamer at all. I don't have a clue what neogaf or eurogamer is, I've never been on them.

No comment.

So then why are you so desperate to try to think I'm wrong? You did it as soon as the presentation started!

You really haven't grasped what RAM actually does, you still think it's use is limited! And I've even given a couple of examples back in this thread and last night of a particular reason for the change!

You just don't seem to beable to accept anything. But you are completely wrong if you think that on the PS4 going from 4 to 8gb of memory won't make a difference, this is what you started off by saying and this is still wrong.

You can think what else you like about it, and you can argue all you want, but you don't understand the basics of it and with your attitude to trying to prove me wrong instead of learning for yourself, why the feck do you think I'd tell you?


Oh and typing out replies in here is a lot quicker than giving you a lecture on video games, how they are structured and their use of memory and why bandwidth and speeds and all that are so important. I certainly didn't learn it overnight.

But as I say, just enjoy the games and stop trying to prove I'm wrong based on what you've read elsewhere. Because that announcement the other night, and M$'s one will just prove me even more right.

It's great isnt it :lol:


The Cell! :lol:
 
I needed a new platform to play FarmVille. I'm so excited for this!
 
You think downloading parts of the game at time, from the internet, so the console has to locally then run it, is a solution to stop latency of cloud gaming? Not only is that not cloud gaming, you'll also be have more issues downloading the larger data files, installing and running them.

Sony would not of splashed $350+ million on a service then not use it.

Besides, what your describing is what Sony have already placed into the PS4. If you buy a game over PSN, the game will start downloading, and you can play that game almost straight away whilst the rest of the game downloads and installs whilst you play.

That and with no cell in there, how would it run the PS3 games anyway.
 
Am surprised by the lack of Xbox Infinity talk on the forum. Lot more controversial rumours being banded around by that.

Your share button is broke, game over.
 
Your friend rcoobc is asking about memory again.

Your friend Redlambs has gone round his house, strangled the fecker and smashed his PS4 up in a fit of rage. Ironically only his share button survived.

Your friend Weaste has bought a Wii-U

The apocalypse has begun.

Fifa...:(
 
Will the PS4 finally have cross game chat like the Xbox has had for years?

Considering your friend can apparently view you playing the game or jump in and take over from you when ever you want. I think they would of been completely stupid to not included cross game chat.

Then again, they did leave it out for the PS3...
 
Your friend Big-Red has commented on Fifa: "hey guys, in an epic game, need a piss. Can someone take over for a few mins? I'm 3-0 up and just need to hold this!"

Your friend Hal9000 has commented on Fifa: "Yeah, I'll step in for a few minutes..."

Your friend Big-Red has just lost 3-8 on Fifa.

Hopefully the sheer quantity doesn't mean videos like this will be lost amongst a load of shit:




Probably the most skillful peice of gaming I have ever witnessed, anyone who has played BF3 will understand just how hard it is to pull something like that off.

I'm guessing that's the jump out of a plane shoot a pilot and steal another plane in mid air video?
