EDIT ( SORRY JUST DID READ THE RULES. NOT ALLOWED TO CREATE TOPICS YET) :/ I know there were some news that the PS4 will have 7GB available to Games. ( 5GB for X1) Although it isnt officially confirmed yet. But then the Tweets of Jonathan Blow ( The Witness ) did come up ( from like 3 days ago): http://i.minus.com/jZU6occCS3EQV.png and http://i.imgur.com/eou7sBZ.png What this basicly could mean, is that the the PS4 has only 5 GB available for Games. ( just like the X1) We know that the Xbox needs that much because it can launch other games in the background and allows you to switch between TV, Music; Movies instantly without loading times. I think they said its called ( 3OS ) and has 3 Operating Systems --> http://www.computerandvideogames.com/407866/xbox-one-specs-8gb-of-ram-and-3-operating-systems/ But it would be a big let-down as everyone gives the PS4 a 2GB RAM advantage. (I know the PS4 has GDDR5) We know that Killzone did run on an old Dev kit which used 512GB RAM for the OS. But that was when Devs had 4GB and didnt know that they will get 8GB. So using 1 GB instead of 512 MB would be an obvious guess... Probably someone knows more about that. I really hope the PS4 has 7GB for games.

Not surprised really. PS4 still has the better hardware when it comes to graphic fidelity but at this point it all looks good. Graphic arguments should end up a thing of the past this gen. It will all look good.

there's no where in the pics that said the ps4 only had 5GB available to games :|.. also loading the entire game to the system memory is kinda dumb but i guess they're indie for a reason :p

Sorry TC, do you know how to read? He said he WANTS to use 5GB since he WANTS to load the ENTIRE game at once. Nowhere in those tweets does it state it's limited to 5GB only. :|

Also lol @ timbers immeadiatly assuming it's true :P Come on brah, at least read the damn links :P

Desmonic

Timber's always quick to grasp on negative Sony news, but always skeptical about negative MS news lol.

 

Btw, I think he meant this quote: "Sadly, we have to deal with streaming. We won't quite fit on PS4".

Why would it suddenly need 3GBs for the OS?  Early models only had 512mbs for the OS.  I very much doubt overnight they needed 6x more memory for the OS

when it gets closed because Im not lvl 10. Yes please. @ the others i never said its confirmed. Its assumed. just forgot the "?" in the title He says the Game wants to use 5 GB of RAM and that they want to load the whole game it in the RAM. But he also said that it wont work cause the Game seems to be too big. That would actually mean that PS4 does not have more than 5 GB available to games

More than enough since console games don't need to go past 1080p

LVL 1. Thought you had to be LVL10 to post new threads? :| Naw PS4 has at least 7GB for games. That OS I heard is light weight. What you linked has nothing to do with total ram that PS4 can use.
