"As a level designer we are struggling against memory every day. We cut things, we remove things, we strip things, we split the levels, we remove NPCs from levels because there's not enough memory."

Hogwash. Absolute hogwash. As several people on this site have pointed out, increasing the relative "power" of a console ONLY benefits the "graphics". It has been said enough times that it has solidified into fact. Who are these lowly game developers to dispute that?

Improving RAM can only make games worse, not better. Bigger, richer levels filled with more NPCs and things to experience? Who the hell needs that?


"Bigger, richer levels filled with more NPCs and things to experience? Who the hell needs that?" - not sure if your being sarcastic here :L, but how would that make the games worse?

That's just me making fun of the "more power equals worse games" crowd.  We have a number of people who've been preaching that improved hardware is just for "graphics whores" and has no other impact on games other than to magically make them inferior.  I mock them often.
