He says both consoles will be fine but the one that seemed better(ps4) but as more information is known, the ps4 is not as good as we believed.

Ok.

Read through and Bing translated all of the tweets.

Based on a link in the tweets, it sounds like the Games on the PS4 will be limited to 6GB.

SORRY!!!  JUST SOMEONE'S OPINION!!!

So, maybe there was reason related to the memory for those lockups at E3.


Lockups at E3?

Don't tell me they made a machine where the CPU and GPU could access the same portion of memory at the same time.....

Screen Freezes.  There were two demos, I don't recall which exactly, the Bungie one for sure, and another, where the screen froze. 

There is something about GDDR5, where the memory needs to be flushed, it isn't the same as DDR3.  I don't know the technicals though.  I read a conversation about it and it kept going back and forth over which had what benefit and which had what drawback.  Intertesting technical thread but no one was a tech expert. 

Actually, the only game that froze was Assassin's Creed 4, Destiny had nothing to do with the system. 

Could you explain?  Our source?  I'll take a sourced explaination, but it looked like a screen freeze to me, if I recall correctly.

Seriously. It could be making the "OMG teh murdered the system!" announcement that they're dropping to 4 GB of RAM and it would still have 90% of its functionality. My eye, at least would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

PS4 Memory drama. More info soon.
The info was supposedly for this afternoon but later he corrects:

 

 

-The article will be publish tomorrow, it's better like this, will be more info.
-A very interesting tech article, 24 hours delay because Sony want to make statements.

Maybe he knows something because he is translating original DF artivle?

 

Sooooooooo .... any thoughts on this? What do you guys think this may be?

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.

Sony always overhype their products. People just need to wait for the final product and launch line up to decide.
