I am not surprised. It's basically a mid range PC as it stands (maybe even a decent one, but definitely mid/low-mid by the time it comes out). I am even willing to bet that it has so much RAM in the first place is so it can run the OS and the other random crap in the background.... like a PC. Honestly, given the architecture, any reason why a game is on a PS4 and not a PC is publisher politics and nothing else.

Which explains Carmack, he knows how to do PC very well.


A high end pc let alone a midrange one cannot display the PS4 graphics, PS4 is highly optimized because its a fixed platform. We have these discussions every gen, try playing games like Uncharted 3 on a pc with comparable specs to PS3.  8GB GDDR5 ram means amazing textures and detail, expect the high end pcs playing catchup to the PS4 for atleast 18 months when PS4 comes out.

I can easily build a PC stronger than the WII U for $280.  Far Cry 3 on PC can be maxed out with a $500 build.  It looks every bit as good as Killzone did.   Don't kid yourself, the PS4 is a $500-$600 build for $400.   That makes it a great deal, but calm down console kids...

P.S.  I am getting PS4 day 1 and I love killzone.


You won't even be able to display PS4 graphics on a $1000 pc, the ps4 may be+-500 bucks hardware, but for the amount of money you'll never get the same performance. Far Cry 3, even on pc will not look anywhere close to Killzone ShadowFall. Go compare both games in 1080p.

Funny you insult me with console kid, I have a GTX670 in my monster rig and play bf3 on 2560x1440 everyday. BF3 on Ultra doesn't come close IQ wise.

Just saw this on gaf

This is a fantastic thing. Every developer I've spoken with here at Ubisoft Red Storm has agreed. Anyone trying to spin otherwise (doing "calculations" about Blu-Ray/RAM transfer) are kidding themselves.
