That's not really true or relevant to how good the game looks, the extra RAM is to make programming easier, as in make bigger spaces without loading and without needing to put the burden of getting those large game worlds to play seamlessly as possible without ridiculous loading.
It's not really related to the graphics to be honest in terms of visual quality.

Oh, of course. The PC demo could have been done with 256MB of RAM and it would've looked identical. Got it!

What are you talking about? Where does the 256MB come from, obviously there comes a point where the amount of system RAM makes producing certain graphical qualities impossible, but those limits aren't approached at 2GB/4GB. When you're talking about a system that has that much ram Vs say 8GB, visual quality can be maintained completely, things that would suffer would be needing smaller gaps between load times.
I really don't think there was any need for your comment as it's clearly not what I was implying, and that I was talking within the context of dev kits having 2GB/4GB of RAM. Obviously 256MB is 1/8th of 2GB and that would cause serious problems.

Crysis 3... oh and that's just video memory we're talking about here.

Yes but crysis 3 runs at sub 20fps on the latest videon cards on "high" at 1080p. A completely unreasonable comparison. Those are also peak memory usage, they could easily be tweaked if an actual sinlge target platform was available. I'm a supporter of the PS4 so far and not here to make it look bad at all. I'm simply saying that the dev kits having 2GB/4GB of RAM does not mean anything graphically, it means that the when dev kits with 8GB are used, then games will be able to have improved design and maybe more open world type stuff going on, it's not going to make "teh graphix" look better, it's going to make it easier to code for and better actual games hopefully, that is a better thing than graphics, it could possibly cut down development costs even.

What are you smoking? My video card costs $380 and it can run Crysis 3 in Ultra with x4 MSAA at 60 FPS (x8 MSAA is still 35+ but the extra AA doesn't help). A $180 7850 2GB (What is essentially in the PS4) can run my settings at 30 FPS. Heck a $100 7750 could probbaly run it on high in 1080p with only FXAA on at playable levels.
You ignorant people really don't get how affordable PC's are now do you?
