Forums - Sony - PS4 RAM drama?

Raven722 on 25 July 2013

That forum is becoming dangerous. I have a feeling I'm going to read about multiple murders with steel sex toys, a banana hammock, and a Mark Cerny mask tomorrow.

Gaf is a hilarious site.
"Sony have been visiting Nintendo and asking them to make a mario game for the Vita to help it in exchange for 3 PS4 ports for the WiiU.
Reggie's comments:I haven't heard about these visits but I'll gladly allow Sony to publish steel diver in exchange for these ports"

XD

I only remember Assassin's Creed freezing, but it's to be expected for a buggy erly build of a game, especially when demoed live. I read an interview with the guy who demoed Killzone Shadowfall at the PS4 reveal where he mentioned that there were 3 known bugs still in the game that would've caused it to crash, but they took the risk and live demoed it anyway.  If I remebered right- Battlefield 4 on Xbox One crashed also and they had to resort to using PC footage. It's to be expected when the game is not yet finished.


It was rumored that Battlefield 4 was PC footage, but when asked later Microsoft said no, that it was indeed Battlefield 4 played on an Xbox One.  I think Marc Whitten was the one who debunked that.

Two games during the Xbox One demo had audio issues, but that was most likely the audio not being switched over.   The Panzer Dragon game was the big one.  The entire demo ran without any audio.

Does the xbox one have an escape key? I can't find a good picture, but during the presentation there was a picture of the escape key on the top right.

Is it possible that the Xbox One game was still using PC assets and that the game was running on the Xbox One?

Not saying that's how I would have done it, but updating the assets (graphics) wouldn't really be a priority for me if I was rushing to get the code working smoothly.

Aww, that sucks! :( Hopefully there is only a small decrease in graphics quality if there is a decrease in RAM. 

Wow, that is extremely complicated stuff! I don't think I'll ever understand specs and all this information. Thanks for the explanation though! :) . I think I get most of it. 

Trust me.  My brother is more of a programmer than I am, and I've lived through 20 some years of listening to his explainations with a perfectly glazed over look on my face.  But damn if I don't know the proper name for C++ is C-Increment and not C-Plus-Plus.

You realize tomorrow there will be at least three other threads about this subject.  One legitimate thread, and two troll threads linking to an article from some blog.  This one will be completely abandoned.

"I just spoke to my source within Sony and while he's not 100% on all the details, I did manage to squeeze something out of him. Newegg apparently ran out of GDDR5 RAM and Sony has desperately been looking for a new source to buy in bulk. The predominant rumour within Sony is, they might downgrade to GDDR3.5 and limit to the amount to 3.5GB and 2GB reserved for the OS.

That sounds plausible to me but take it with a grain of salt. Trust me however, the guy is solid."


hahahahahahaha!

Lol. At least Sony knows where to get a good deal. :P

eBay man.  Get the Chinese knock-offs for a steal of a deal.
