I tried to explain it to you as easy as possible, and I actually you know...explained how it works, but maybe from him you will understand. My case of facts and then explaining how it works holds up alot better then your "I heard, this and that, it is...FIND ME LINK" argument. Quite simply, the unified architecture, allows it to do what the PS3 does, such as, having the memory work split 256/256 OR it can also move memory around where it's needed, the PS3 can't do that with dedicated ram, at most, it can have 256 of video memory, and 256 of physical memory...the 360 can divide the memory anywhere it needs to at any given moment allowing it to do more...and it has 10 MB of embedded ram specifically for Anti-Aliasing and Aniso. filtering...basically free video ram. The PS3 has an edge coming into the race with Cell, but in terms of graphical capability, the 360 quite frankly, takes 1st place.NickinAround

fine u win just cuz i don't wanna get banned again lol


Yeah...and maybe you being wrong has something to do with it. Anyway, I have to replace a motherboard before I close up tonight.

Also, not to be cocky, but neither having dedicated RAM or non dedicated isn't neccessarily better. The RAM the ps3 has is faster because the dedicated RAM always knows where it's going. It makes sense for the ps3's architecture because when you have slow RAM, you have slow memory read time, which wastes huge amounts of the processor time. Since the ps3 excells in processor speed, it should have faster RAM. Since the 360 doesn't have such processing capabilities, it made sense for them to give a much larger bank of non-dedicated RAM.

Just thought I'd throw it out there ;)

"I have to replace a motherboard before I close up tonight." sounds like it was meant to be sexy. And in a way, it really is

Wow, someone is edgy. Using my post count doesn't mean i don't know more than you dude. You're just flaunting non-conclusive numbers like someone in this post was talking about earlier. I'm a computer scientist, and I know a lot about what it means to have multiple cores. You say you're sick of people saying give them more time, and that it's not time they need, it's education. I don't think a single person here needs an explination about why that statement is not only stupid, but contains unwanted bias. I'm not putting you down, I was just a bit sick of people having expectations from ps3 developers that aren't appropriate, and it's due to people like you who want things now. And I have no idea what I'm talking about? So I guess the knowledge I have on how multiple cores saves the processor time from having to write to the main memory by giving each thread more system cycles, allowing for a MUCH faster system performance. Not only can it handle more cycles, but it eliminates wasted cycles for the insturctions it just fetched and is being decoded and executed. But I guess I'm just pulling that knowledge out of my behind.

All I'm saying is that if you don't know something, don't fake it. It misleads people who don't know things and are curious for the truth. I normally don't call people out because i think they're wrong, but only when they're trying to pose certain knowledge as being true.

you also go as far as to say it's Sony's job to teach them how to "do it". I'm not sure what you mean by do it. I'll assume you're saying it's Sony's job to teach programmers how to... program? I swear that's what we go to college for... and that's what I'm in college for too. Learning about current technology and how to use it to its fullest. Don't blame Sony for the developers taking their time to make good games. If the good games take a few years to be developed, then I'll wait. Maybe you can't wait. That's up to you. You also talk about how AI is 15% of the overall experience. It's sadly obvious you made that number up. So just please, in the future, if you don't know something, keep it to yourself.

Peace

Timmotool is obviously trying to start a fight here, and is even more obviously speaking out of his @$$. They've already had a year? Ok, that's a large amount of time relative to some things, but AI development... that's a HUGE PROCESS. Anyone who really knows how computer programming works knows not to expect anything for a good amount of time. Most the developers aren't even putting that much effort into AI systems yet. They're more concerned with graphics, because that's the easiest and quickest thing to do for the first few games. This comment is platform specific in anyway, so I'm not trying to start a system war. I'm just pointing out that Timmotool is a fool and shouldn't get taken as someone who knows what s(he) is talking about.

Now with that being said, AI is can be optimized for the ps3 much more efficiently with its mulitple cores. Once developers use the technology to its fullest, it's MY BELIEF (So not neccessarily true) that the ps3 will be able to handle more AI at once. Opinions?

I just checked their website, and it states that 1.5 gigs and up is for recommended.

For those of you who dont know how to click the above link, here it is again:

Everyone who's speculating that since the minimum is 1 gig or ram, the recommended should be 2. Let me tell you that this isn't true. Although more is better, the game could be designed to run more heavily on processing that texture storage space. If the game is really well designed, then I see no reason why it necessarily would need 2 gigs. Although I will say it's UNLIKELY that 1 gig is unreasonable for recommended in this day and age of computing, it just annoys me when people who don't even know what ram DOES say these things

For an rpg, I'd say an ff game, preferably ff7. Action game, conker's is definitely a great choice. I don't think goldeneye would be too great. Although great at its time, its not too deep a game in today's standards. Great fps game to remake could be Max Payne, maybe, or half life 1. There are too many games to think about...

Don't select the icon with the "x" button. Select it with Triangle, and then select "view all" or something. Then you can navigate a lot more easily
