But what the developer is talking... about memory... I think it is the biggest ever... GPU performance I'm not sure.

Anybody remember a increase in 16x the size of memory from the previous gen???

Wasn't the the jump from Nes/Gensis to SNES like... 60X or something crazy like that.?

NES had 2KB of RAM, SNES had 128KB of RAM, so that's +126 KB jump.

PS3 had 512MB of RAM, PS4 has 8GB of RAM, so that's +7488 MB jump...its not even comparable lol

The graphical leap from PS3 to PS4 is in fact bigger than the graphical leap saw in PS2 to PS3.

Killzone Shadow Fall showed the biggest graphical leap between generations I ever see in a launch game for any platform.

You clearly weren't around for the SNES-N64 or N64-Gamecube leaps. ;)

Objectively, provably incorrect.

PS3 = 512 mb ram,

PS4 = 8 gb

= 16x.



Snes = 128 km,

N64 = 4 mb

= 32x

 

Edit: As bruxel mentioned, Wii to Wii U is also bigger.

 

Wii = 88

Wii U = 2048

= 23x

I wanna live the moment that most people will be disappointed with the PS4 perfomance. Its time is about to come!

i beleive the wii to wii U is actually the biggest leap.



 

WII U // PC // 3ds XL // VITA

Every PS announcement is the biggest leap. Fact.



Ex Graphics Whore.

For a console jump in the 3D world it does look impressive.

I still think 2D to 3D was a bigger jump though.

Bullshit.

It seems like your having a reading comprehnion problem.

Also... multiplications on a smaller level actually generally lead to more of a performance boost per amount added so...
