Lol at the people saying Agni's Philosophy ran on some crazy powerful unreleased hardware, it's only a single GTX 680, something like a 7870 in a console should easily be able to replicate that.
Glad more devs are speaking up on what they would like to see in next gen consoles. Amazes me that people would think 2gb of RAM is an upgrade. Even though it is an upgrade in the literal sense. 6gb would be great.
Pair that with a 680 level gpu and decent processor and you have a great console. None of this is going to happen though

Vita is overkill, 50% of the RAM is dedicated to the OS. I'm hoping only like 512mb is reserved for the OS in the next gen consoles.

They struggled with 2GB of VRAM?
Was every texture within a square mile of the character uncompressed?

Since Agni's Philosophy is pretty much the most impressive realtime tech demo that exists so far, if S-E speaks people should listen.
Yeah, I'm sure developers shudder to think of getting more RAM. The only reason they're all asking for it is because they're masochists.

As long as I keep getting good old-school fashioned Dragon Quest games, I couldn't care less about the available RAM in the system... and speaking of which, any news on the WiiU port of DQX?
But now the same sentence is in the OP two times.. ^^
That's fine, since one includes more info.
Alright then!
But yeah, that is a pretty important part. Seems like non-gaming stuff will play an important role next-gen.

I'm sure they were referring to VRAM and as of now, no card with more than 4GB exists.
It's not standard RAM as that wouldn't be worth bringing up if they ran the demo on a PC
Yeah, in one of Microsoft's E3 interviews, when asked about their thoughts on Sony/Nintendo, they actually pointed to Nintendo as a big part of their competition as well, so I imagine they're going to push very hard to try and advance their goal of winning the living room.

Yeah the textures were quite possible the most impressive aspect...way above anything currently released
For the WiiU and PS4 probably, the 720 on the other hand seems like its going to be much much higher than that given all the supposed features to go along with the OS.
More RAM = better graphics = one important part of the game is better
Not really. More ram would make some things just so much easier.. It's the lack of ram that makes you cut corners at the end because the thing just won't move otherwise...
Ya you're right, still though if these consoles ship with 2GB of ram and a card that has less then 1GB of VRAM that is going to be really sad.

not matter what MS/Sony come up with these we want ram engine guys will never be satisfied
the fact that a good chunk of RAM is going to OS/Apps on these new consoles outside of gaming use is already a warning sign not to put our hopes up.
that being said. I would give S-E 5 years to dev the best looking eye candy game ever to see what that thing would look like

You act like the PS4 isn't going to have those same features, either on release day or through updates.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah and better physics, more on screen action, more players in Multi-player. Should I continue?^^

Going by this generation, they probably won't have the same features, but the truth is at this point we have no idea what the full feature sets of those two consoles are going to be.
I made same mistake on my first post, pretty sure the person is referring to the VRAM on the GPU. I have a GTX 680 with 2GB of VRAM. If they are saying that they had trouble running this tech demo on a stand alone GTX 680 with 2GB of vram, then yeah I wouldn't expect to see anything like this on next gen consoles. Hate to be that guy, but I don't think you can expect to see anything like this on next generation of consoles.
Currently on this card everything runs pretty great, but I have never tried anything that is UE4 or whatever this engine in the FF tech demo is. Obviously since they are not available to general public. But if a 680 is struggling on this demo, no way consoles are going to be seeing stuff like this.
and better AI, and more advanced gameplay systems, the list goes on and on!

The GTX 680 has 2GB of ram so their demo didn't use more than that at any point for graphics.
PD: Correction, looks like there is 4GB models, I wonder witch model did they use.

Ah that makes sense. 2GB of fast dedicated VRAM? I also do not think so.
I said the same thing twice at the end, my mistake lol. I need to get some sleep!!! All this ram talk damnit!
Lord, I hope the 2GB model. If their engine is struggling with a 680 4GB card then that is crazy. 4GB of dedicated VRAM would be plenty you'd think.

There are 4GB models, there's no reason to think he's talking about the 2GB models.

I'm still waiting for Square Enix... or, hell, any Japanese developer not named PlatinumGames or From Entertainment... to demonstrate a command of HD console hardware from 2005. Until they're able to do that they have no business making demands of what console manufacturers will be including in their systems in 2013 and beyond.
Perhaps for their benefit we should just see re-releases of X360s and PS3s with more on-board RAM to take advantage of. Screw any other graphical or performance upgrades.

Technically speaking, Square is quite a bit ahead of Platinum and From. You can knock the quality of their games all you want, but FFXIII is a really nice looking game.
