Yes, we know the PS3 has less memory. We've known this for a long time.

Now, Bad Company and Killzone 2 have destruction on the PS3, right? Did they have any problems?

 

NO IT DOESN'T...FFS

"

Just so you know that the PS3 has 512MB of RAM (256 for video and 256 for system). The Cell chip has 256MB of completely sharable RAM, the GPU has 256MB of dedicated RAM. Now the key here is what type of RAM it is.

The Playstation 3 has 256mb of GDDR3 at 700mhz  and 256Mb of XDR at 3.2ghz. So what exactly is XDR ram? Here are some of the highlights:

  • XDR makes PS3 super effiecient
  • XDR aids in faster cache mapping, both direct and indirect
  • XDR ram works by a pointer to pointer technology and needs very small buswidth for execution
  • XDR is not just faster than GDDR3 but it is much more efficient
  • XDR RAM works by breaking down data into several packets which prevents data loss and exceptions"

So what you're saying is that the people who make Red Faction are basically useless.

That's a possibility, right? If Guerilla can do it, why can't Volition?

And I said the PS3 has less RAM, not worse RAM.

 

woops

 

I find that million as actually a good poster.:

yaay!

Whether or not they are having problems with the PS3, that does not mean that that they are not having problems with the Xbox as well. We all know both systems are capable of making fantastic games it is just the way they are developed

I predict this game will suck



I know... my english sucks

360 uses less memory for it's OS and it's unified, not split. This is what causes the problem for some developers on the PS3. Both systems have their own bottlenecks, this is old news. The PC version is probably the best :p

Geek alert... I'm not touching those jargon mortars.. I may just get fucked up in the head.

Good find selnor.

What's with everyone and Red Faction all of the sudden? ALL the previous games were extremely mediocre, if not outright crap...

 The original was one of the best FPS's of it's time. And a tech masterpiece. It's destructive environments were the best available.

Yeah it had SOME destructible environments, but it wasn't all and only some parts were. The game REEKED of mediocrity, it wasn't even CLOSE to being the best of it's time. It tried to, and fell short about half-way through. Very forgettanle and unimpressive game.

Edit: Also it wassn't a tech masterpiece at all, the actual graphics were not as good as the graphical engines at the time, the only wow was the few walls you could bring down.
