I wish I had the day off from work, because I'd be so in on this.

Am I alone when I say I'm getting flashbacks to that one King of the Hill episode?

Lesson #whatever on how not to be a douchecanoe.

Don't call your bfs dick small.
Don't call your gf flat.

You're all welcome.

Been drinking again? Also, two things:

If he's packing less than average, this is a legitimate remark
If she's got a pancake for a chest, same as above.

*Only to be used in instances of extreme anger.

edit: I located the thread in question. Oh boy....

What an awesome Friday. Payday, there's a good chance I buy some Justin Timberlake/Jay Z concert off a friend for tonight's concert in SF and my immediate boss just called in sick. She texted me and basically said there's not much for me to do, so fuck around for the entirety of the day and cut out early if I want.

srsly peeps, this is one of those wait for more info moments... add 4GB more RAM, use half for yourself? yeah, somehow i dunno...

It makes sense. Last generation they were unable to add stuff like Cross Game Chat within the OS, or make sweeping changes to the OS, because the mopped themselves into a corner with a low reservation of ram. Considering these generations are potentially lasting 8-10 years, it's important to ensure that you have the potential to adapt alongside the industry.

but last gen they had more RAM reserved than MS and with less features and added more features while reducing memory footprint.


this gen they already were planning for 1GB footprint out of 4GB... so... double it when adding double RAM or triple/quadruple it? c'mon son.

Isn't that still more than the xbone is letting devs use?

5GB versus 5.5GB, although Sony's ram is obviously faster.

Having said that, if this turns out to be true, it's incredibly disingenuous on Sony's part considering they've been pushing the upgrade to 8GB as a positive for gaming on their platform.

I don't think so. If they didn't go with 8 gigs then it's not hard to believe even less would be given to devs than 5.5 gigs.

Wouldn't the game recording feature require quite a bit of RAM in the first place? Let's say you're recording 15 mins in HD, isn't that a lot?

I'm not saying it's true, but the constantly running OS in the background does need RAM for that feature to work.

People were foaming at the mouth over those PS4 game reveals. I don't see why knowing that they're running on less RAM matters.
 

it's not really that simple... the way voice comms was handled at the base level in PS3 vs in 360 was a huge factor in why there was no PS3 cross game chat

why save that in RAM instead of writing to HDD? i mean, at a decent bitrate, that would use up over a gig of RAM yeah, but why even do it that way!?

Honestly don't see why people think it'll change much. You build a game, then cut back to make it run. You don't go into it at the start with "Oh, we have 2 more GB to play with? Okay, we can have 50 enemies in each area!"

That's the byproduct of people propping Sony up as a savior of console gaming. At the end of the day they're a multi billion dollar company, and like any other multi billion dollar company, their word shouldn't be taken at face value 100% of the time without question.

nah, they're just currently doing better than the other guys... everyone's out to make money, PS+ required for online is a clear indicator of that.
 
People getting put on blast in the Sony thread. What is it about video games that get people so emotionally invested? It's sad anyone made the situation about other people.

People going hard like they got stock in Ram, Sony, and MS. Arguing about ram is like arguing about carburetors. Does it do what I want and go fast? yes. Then fuck the noise. I don't play ram.
