Forums - Gaming - Crytek: 8GB RAM Can Be Easily Filled Up, Will Surely Be Limiting Factor on PS4/Xbox One

Crytek is one of the most obnoxious developers out there in my opinion, if they stopped complaining about console power once in a while and instead concentrated on making their games better, then maybe Ryse would've actually been a good game.


Original Far Cry and Crysis were good games


This. FarCry 1 was (and still is) one of the best FPS games ever made (of course IMO)...pitty they focused so much on visuals since Crysis (which was decent).

But, despite so many idiotic statements from Crytek (mostly from Cevat) over years, I can see how this one might be very true.

Crytek's bullshit as always!

They love make crappy games with beautifull graphics but unoptimized code.

Remember graphics are 60% of the game!


Everybody and everything is bullshit with you.



hey Cryteck, once you fill up the 8GB, how bout you just work on the gameplay. Just throwing that out there is something you might want to think about a bit more.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

8GB sounds like a lot now, but every bit of ram helps to run a game smoothly when it all has to come from a cheap 5400 rpm hdd.

When you check how much memory a game uses in windows it doesn't include the video ram, and probably also not the disk cache that windows is using to help your game run smoothly. My laptop has 3.1GB in use while just browsing vgchartz.

Sure you can optimize a lot, use repetitive textures everywhere, identikit building pieces, long loading times going in and out buildings, when popping up menus etc, aka Skyrim on consoles. I hope this gen will bring more variety to the worlds, procedural generation for geometry, trees, clouds etc. You need a lot of memory for that.



Crytek's always so full of themselves... yet when's the last AAA (9/10+ game) they made? Like Crysis1? thats like 7 years ago, lol.

The amount of denial over 8GB of RAM is hilarious. I believe Ethomaz had a PS5 prediction thread, and he got the same raction.

8GB is nice, but it will become very small over the next 5+ years. We are already seeing 64 & 128GB DDR4 chips. Stacked RAM on GPU's will give 8GB on the lowest end GPU's in a years time. It is not going to take long for a low en gaming PC to have 3 - 4x raw power, and memory bandwidth advntage on PS4 & XBO.

Crytek is just putting things into perspective. Don't shoot the messanger.


Theres a difference between seeing and having. How many peeps are gonna have that set up in the coming years?

I don't see how.  They said the MINIUM needed to be 8 gigs.  They got the minimum, now they said it's going to be the limiting factor before other resources.

If they had gotten 16 gigs and then complained, then it would have been something.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

You already see that the consoles are lacking power, latest example is Watch dogs that can't do 1080p on consoles not that I matter so much but the blind aggressiveness against Crytek is awkward.  It  is like people don't want to accept it..

They would've. Maybe not today but probably in a year or so.

I have a good PC and a PS4. Consoles lack power. I wish they dont. But I used to play Quake 3 Arena in year 1999 at 768p with Nvidia TNT2 graphic card. The Geforce 1 was very expensive for me.... 15 years later I run battlefield 4 at 900p on PS4. Same for Watch DogsNot a great increase in resolution. Im kind of dissapointed. If this is a trully next gen time i expect new consoles at least at 1080p when High end PCs are reaching 2160p. 

I think Crytek made Cryengine 2 because Crysis 1 was not able to run on consoles with all the volumetric clouds and 4 time the poligon count of other games. Crysis 2 was linear with small maps and lauched with DX9. So they made it for Consoles after they couldnt sell well Crysis 1 for PC.  

So its right. Crysis 1 cant be handle by 7 gen consoles as it was on PC.

Its also true that Crysis 2 was able to run on consoles, it was made for them and it was the worst game of all. 

Cryengine 3 was made thinking on PC and consoles. PC people were very dissapointed with Crysis 2. It became like a COD Game. So, they push the limits of consoles with Crysis 3. Also true. 

They say that Consoles cant compete with PC. Its obvious that a 500 Watt Radeon that costs 1500 USS will be far faster than several PS4 together. The PS4 dont even reach 200W with all its hardware. its 11,0 Teraflops against 1,84. No contest. Right again.

But they have to sell Rise, So they say they are happy with XBONE. Thats the only lie they told.

Now they say that console memory will not be enough. There is never enough memory period.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Crysis 1 is on PS3 and 360 as well
