Forums - Sony - 8Gb of GDDR5,.. Thank Knack!

CDiablo on 24 June 2014

I dont believe this for a second. PS4, as system with a (launch) OS imprint of 3.5GB's of ram was going to ship with 4GB's? Nope, dont believe this for a second.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Serendipity at its best. Sony and PS4 users can really thank Knack's devs (and probably other ones too) for helping it to take the right decision about RAM size, 4GB would have limited the full tapping of its APU's power and forced Sony to implement a more frugal set of extra features, making it less competitive with XBOne on both pure gaming and multimedia box fronts.

Edit: About Knack, not my genre, but from what I saw I don't dislike it

Of all the studios in WWS, it was Japan Studio that pushed for 8GB?

phew, those extra rams suddenly made knack a good game

At least those 4 extra gigs of ram made the PS4 a better console.

From what I've read, essentially every dev told sony that the ps4 is going to need more than 4gb of ram.

Now I finally have a reason to prove to my Xbox, Ninty, and PC friends and enemies on why Knack is gaming's true hero and savior for both Sony and gaming in general, take that Knack haters (And Killzone: Shadow Fall haters, though I must admit, both games have their issues :/)!
