Wait isn't the extra RAM in dev kits usually taken up by the debugging and performance analysis tools? And surely it would be considered bad practice to use more RAM than final hardware for the game, especially when they go out of their way to say "no cheats".

Memory optimizations, compression and others stuffs are not cheats...

They said in the slides they not did optimizations in memory yet... so they are using more than the final game will use.

Well that is my guess looking the slides.

I know a code running in debug mode uses more RAM than the normal... they are running in debug with other apps to trace everything that happened with the game running.

 

I meant running over 1.5GB over their presumed memory target would have been a cheat.
