Wow, so I totally feel silly for raging for no reason.

Fuck Digital Foundry, never read another one of there articles again.

Apparently DF articles are now banned from Gaf. It didn't take much to ruin their reputation.

Despite the drama, I don't think we'll ever hear a direct statement from Sony. Allocation is just not something that's known to be announced. Usually it's up to the masses to dig that up and have dev confirm it.

Indirectly however, they might say "Uncharted 4 takes advantage of an unprecedented 6 GB of RAM" or something along those lines; and that will be it.

So in short, those were desperate attempts to equalize PS4 with XB ONE. I had a feeling that what they said was true but luckily I was wrong.

This. Exactly how I saw it as well. Even so, this is the previous rumors picture:

4.5GB(5.5GB) @ 176GB/s >> 5.0GB @ 68GB/s + 32MB ESRAM @ 102GB/s

PS4 will always be clearly ahead so not sure what Xbros were gloating at.

I was possitive this rumor was false. I still feel that it will only use one gig though. The original design only had four gb ram, and I doubt they would use half for the OS. I know they could have changed the OS when they double the RAM, but that seems like it would be a pretty big change. 



"Absolutely false" is a bit strong no?

I mean from "max" 5.5 for games, to 6 for games isn't exactly earth shattering is it? Whatever....didn't see what the fuss was about before, don't get how this new difference matters either.

So what's the deal with Digital Foundry? They're sort of embarrassing themselves as of late.
