re: PS4 is like 'a really perfect gaming PC,' says Epic VP

I saw this article around noon today and was wondering when it would make it here.
Not shocking that it is Hog who posted it. No doubt he had to change his strawberry shortcake panties from all the moisture let loose when he saw the article.

Well that was unpleasant to read. I'd rather watch more videos from the MorbidReality subreddit

BTW this was the dumbest thing from the article
Windows may be tied to 2GB of ram but PC vram isn't shared with system ram. Let's also not forget that PC system ram can be upgraded anytime. Also, I don't know many people with an actual gaming PC that run 32 bit windows.
Epic is a console developer 99% of the time though and their biggest money maker is the Unreal Engine so of course they have to pump up the next gen consoles. Can't hate on him for it but he needs to tone down the BS some.

"The other exciting thing is that... when you think about Windows, even Windows for most people is tied to about 2GB of addressable memory space. This really opens up beyond what most PCs can do, because most PCs are running a 32-bit version of Windows.

Dude was clearly talking out of his arse. Reminded me of a used car salesman. Most gaming PCs are not going to be running on 2gigs of RAM on a 32 bit system. But that makes it harder to argue that the PS4 will be the "perfect gaming PC."

It seems many here are drawing incorrect inferences about the intent behind Rein's words. I think he was analogizing the PS4 to a "really perfect gaming PC" from a developmental standpoint, positing that most developers would prefer to build a game for the PS4 over a PC (if they were given a choice).
This isn't the case for the PS4, and it appears to be one advantage it has over contemporary (gaming) PCs.

I took it as he was saying Windows takes 2GB of ram to operate. Even in the background while you're gaming. Guess he was getting at all 16GB of the PS4 ram is for gaming only.

I didn't get that at all but jump to your own conclusions.

True. But are games taking advantage of PCs with 8+ GB of RAM and GPUs with the computational equivalence (or higher) of a GTX 670?
The recommended system requirements for Black Ops 2...
- CPU: 2.4 GHz quad core Intel or AMD processor, Core i5 or Phenom X4 or equivalent
- RAM: 2GB, or 4GB if you’re running 64-bit OS
- Graphics: DirectX 10 or DX11 compatible card with 1GB of video memory, Nvidia 400-series or AMD 5000-series or better.

I mean I see what you are saying but that's a current gen to PC port. Sort of a bad example.

I'm sorry but you talking about some random dude and his strawberry shortcake panties being moist is a rough visual. I don't know how that's "trying too hard" but stay on the defensive, stout.

As nice as the ps4 is, I highly doubt it will allow you to minimize a game and switch to a web browser in a split second.
That's exactly why comparing the PS4 specs to PC specs is silly and it's a point missed by a lot of PC gaming "experts" on this board.

No backward capability…yet: The PS4 won’t be able to play PS2 or PS3 games, it’s true. But Sony’s stated hope is that eventually, by utilizing the cloud and the PS4's existing streaming abilities, that emulation of the entire PlayStation line’s library of games will be possible at some point.

I haven't read up on it a ton, but that seems like the dirty little kicker.
Of course you can play your old games.........for a price.

I mean I guess the digital games I downloaded are easily traceable as far as paid content but the physical copies? Bitch.
