Hideo Kojima praises PS4: can render 1080p at 60fps “with room to spare”

Good to know that 1080p and 60fps are the most important elements of a 2014 game. Second most important must be a campaign no longer than 2 hours.

While I agree that gameplay/design/plot etc... are far more important than eye candy, it is only natural that with the evolution of hardware, the 'bar' for gaming quality across all categories should rise.  I still don't understand WHY with 8g of RAM and 8 core CPU's, developers are struggling with 1080p/60fps.  It took less horsepower to achieve those metrics on PC, years ago.  And no, this isn't a masturbation session about the superiority of PC gaming, it's me wondering how developers are struggling, when the resources are so ridiculously high.

Its not so much about struggling to hit 1080p 60FPS...

But more about hitting those benchmarks along with "next gen" visuals.

Not to mention that the PS4 has a gpu that is equivalent to a hd7850 and cpu that is pretty weak. So all the ram in the world will only do so much. Same goes for the number of cpu cores...i would argue that a high clocked 4th gen dual core i3 processor from intel would probably do better than the 8 core cpu running in ps4/X1.
