8GB of very fast GDDR5 RAM really will make a big difference. People that say otherwise don't really understand how things work.

Yeah the ram is awesome, we know, weknow already. At first I was hyped about the RAMMMMM but now The RAMMMMM is getting annoying. Everyday 8GB this GDDR5 that,...... OMG xD

NOBODY understands the intricacies of dat GDDR5 RAM. It's beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, forged in the heavens and blessed by the Gods.

Nextbox "buillt in TV-Tuner" LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL whaaat?:lol:

wait... stop the presses.... is he twlling us that more powerful hardwar can drive more powerdul games? 

where the fuk did that genius get his crystal ball?

all hail Sony... Hermits are butt hurt over GDDR5 :-(

Lol, ram makes innovation likely? Why are the top guys all idiots when it comes to hardware?DragonfireXZ95

not innovation, more like the tiny ram of consoles won't hold the games back anymore

Says the idiot. Oh, but you're not a top guy? That must mean you're just a regular, everyday non-paid idiot.

devs are able to work better with more ram and less limitation, better ai, better level design, more features and so on

pachter is a joke though

None of that is innovation. You realize that, right?

Also, ram doesn't affect level design. Level design is something only the artists can manipulate.

Cows are so polite these days thanking Sony and Kaz for their marvelous creation :lol:silversix_

it is not innovation but it leads to it, we can see something devs haven't done before, as for level design the levels can be more detailed with a lot more going on in them and less linear, obviously i meant the technical aspect of them.

No. Ram does not affect the level design. Get it through your head. Games can be open world with little ram, did you see Red Dead Redemption's world? That should be proof enough that ram is not a key element in level design.

The technical aspect of an open world is not innovation, either. It only calls for better graphics. Last I checked, graphics were not innovative. Engines can be innovative, but engines can also run on very little ram. It's the textures and draw distance that call for more ram.

i always love how the aguments flip from gen to gen.

when people griped about how ram was done in the ps3 the answer was pfft, ram... dat shyt ain't important.

human nature is pretty facinating.

i have to admit i am more interested in the ps4 after the ram announcement.

my big wish for the last few gens was to see what a console could do if it was not so ram starved and bam i got my wish.

th... *cough*... than gla gla... *hack* hold on almost there.    thank you sony! 

:lol:

AI has to do with the ability fo the AI engineer and the power of the GPU/CPU not RAM.

Thank you Sony.

Coincidence that they found the God particle less than a month after the almighty unveiling of the Quad, and with it, dat GDDR5 RAM? I think not.

Humanity's ascension beyond the stars and the known Universe shall commence Holiday 2013.

All ram does is hold information for a short period of time.

The GPU and CPU render the levels, and the AI, and all the other features.

RAM will allow for less load screens, and less slowdown when loading big areas, but absolutely no computations are rendered on RAM. It's simply for holding information.

For example if the CPU and GPU aren't powerful enough to render an entire island, people, AI, and all that, and then store that information on the RAM so that you can seemlessly walk from one side to another without a hiccup, then it doesn't matter how much RAM there is.

That's actually true. They'll be way less limited and open world games will be much better.

I feel some sort of tingling in my body. It is running through my veins. Holy hell, the light is overpowering.

Ok guys, I'm walking through it. I want to know what the true power is like.

If I never return to SW, you all know why. Tell my story. Let the nonbelievers know the truth. Do my eyes deceive me...is that...is that...

Behold herectics!

This man has just witnessed our Lord and saviour in his true form, unspeakably beautiful and terribly powerful.

One of the lucky few that has crossed into the Divine Beyond. Let us never forget this day.

Senses-Fail, tell Kaz of our faith and devotion.

It won't make the slightest of differences if publishers are too affraid of taking risks and continue to pump out COD clones every week.
