Guerilla Games: PS4 has no performance bottlenecks

Ask again in three years time, you'll find plenty of bottlenecks.

Optical drives won't affect performance, just load times. Also do we know what speed it's going to be this time around? Certainly not x2 again.
Also, console comes with a huge HDD.

Pls utilize all of the rams.
i think 6x?
Ask PC gamers now, they'll point out the CPU and GPU are already bottlenecks.
i dont think thats what he meant. Of course they could always use more power.
Optical drives will most certainly affect the experience unless the entire game is installed to the HDD. It'll take many minutes to fill up that much RAM from an optical drive.

Well all they're talking about is balance. Not that it literally can do anything, but rather that no one component is throttling another one. They can all smoothly access close to their individual maximum performance, without thinking "shit I could do more with this GPU if not for this fucking RAM." Shit like that.

Something that is either done during load breaks, or streamed. You won't get a worst performance out of it.
And I'm pretty sure a x6 BR (27MB/s) drive will let you stream it perfectly.
This is why (hopefully) all games will be able to be fully installed to the hard drive.
If you mean by harnessing the power of the CPU/GPU/RAM devs will be making constant improvements over times as game engines advance just like with any console. You don't really "max out" a console for about 5 years or so. I mean just look at Halo 4 for example. The game looks stunning for something released on 7 years old hardware.
Changed the word performance to experience in my original post. You're right, it won't affect per frame performance, but it could affect the experience. It'll be interesting if the texture pop-in present in UE3 games from this generation will be just as bad, if not worse this coming generation.

Hyperbole from a first party developer?

I think he means that just because it's X86, doesn't mean it has all the same bottlenecks as a PC does.

theres no hyperbole in his statement, he is just saying ps4 is a well designed system. for example in my pc, the cpu is a bottleneck, it doesn't allow the 7970 to harness it's full potential, in fact it holds it back.

If they made a console that would please the hardcore pc enthusiast crowd, then the price would be the bottleneck.
ITT, people misunderstanding the concept of a bottleneck.
Exactly. It may still be a PR lie, but the issue is not whether it's powerful, but whether it's extremely efficient. It's a good statement to hear and bodes well for the console, but it would be nice to hear it from other devs as well.

People are missing the point. What he means is that it was designed to be as efficient as possible with the tech that is there. You look at it and nothing stands out in a negative way that could hinder the potential of the other parts, the system is optimized to have all components work in harmony in a way that maximizes them as much as possible.
"lulz it could have a gtx680 instead of the current gpu"
That's not the point.

Of course it ha bottlenecks but I'm sure after years of the difficult PS3 I'm sure it seems like a breath of fresh air. Plus it's their marketing to say "way better designed for ease of use devs!"

That should give Guerilla plenty of room to fix this shit, then

It's because the PS4 only had 4gb RAM when they developed it. Now that it has 8gb, it will be 60 fps.
I am also joking
I was making a joke about the next consoles holding PC gaming back even more than this gen, since the ps4 specs have already been passed (sometimes by several iterations) and the rumored MS specs are the same or lower in places.

Yeah, because GG isn't known for making technically and visually impressive games.If that statement came from John Carmack then it would hold more weight.

Crytek would be saying the exact opposite.

Yep, some just aren't as informed as others it seems.
With that much RAM the system (Durango too) can probably start filling it up from the game in the drive the second it turns on and still have plenty for OS or even keep the data from the last game played even when playing BR, yes?
That way load times would be at least better, maybe even good, depending on when you start to boot the game.
