For naysayers,the best way to debunk the figure is post the full composition of what Sony tell devleloper in internal SDK docs, not the vague "total" numbers.

Even physical 4.5GB +5GB swap can be said as 9.5 GB, by Sony's definition now.

They were in talks. It just didn't happen.

Considering it was announced at e3 that they would be coming to the Xbox One, it's unlikely that the decision to bring them to the console was made on a whim. That's the type of decision that's made at the beginning of a development cycle, or at the very least, months prior to the announcement.

Whoa, I missed the original thread after the reveal... PS4 is also going to have a giant OS? I mean, Xbox One has a reason at least - 3 OSes. This is wild, 4.5GB GDDR5?

That is the question....Windows 8 vs BSD...so why does it need so much memory reserved (even if we might not need it now or ever).

You seem way too emotionally invested in a plastic box full of wires man. All I'm saying is that the article mentions that they're getting their information directly from Sony official documentation. Between that and Shinobi confirming the 3.5 OS / 4.5 addressable ram setup yesterday it seems that it was confirmed. It doesn't matter in practicality, 4.5 is still a ton of ram and it's on par with the Xbox. Games will look great on both systems.

What, I'm sure that Shinobi never confirmed the RAM allocation, he simply explained the reasons if it really was done like that. He never said it was like that, don't put words in his mouth.

Also, the latest correction from Digital Foundry is from a B3D member, the same member who has been talking how MS will update their RAM to 12GB.

Did bish finish his cereal yet is all I wanna know at this point. It looked kinda nasty so it definitely must be healthy as fk.
 
I fell in love with that game the first time I saw it. It came off to me as a more graphical superior Skyrim. I really hope it's below 4GB.

Guys get real, this is just some bullshit cg video that has no bearing on what the actual game will look or run like! This kind of crap has gone on in video games since day 0.

Capcom will have got virtually nowhere with development on this game, it will be a long time till it sees the light of day.

CG videos don't have obvious aliasing.

You would think so but that is not the case. I know about games that had deals finalized the night before conventions. SE even said they hadn't looked at the XBONE architecture at E3 but that it would be added to the workflow.

Well PS4 has flexible RAM. That seems to mean that it's 4.5 GB if you're buying Xbox One this fall and 6 GB if you plan to purchase PS4. I imagine ND are PS4 fans so we should get 6 GB of goodness from their next adventure.

Pre-orders back on.

Wow

This thread started of with less RAM for games on PS4.

It finish of with even less RAM for Xbox One - now with only 4,5GB.

And it also moves to 6GB RAM for games + 0.5GB + unlimited page file on PS4.

And now Pagefiles are something good..........

Wow people are really working hard make 1 article spin positive PS4 and negative Xbox One.....even when the article do not even mention Xbox One.

NeoGAF magic.....
 
Whichever way this turns out, Digital Foundry is a joke of a publication.

I think this is the only reasonable to take out of this entire fiasco.

Not only do they seem to know very little about the subjects they supposedly post as if being "authorities" on, they;re now actively promoting misinformation and parading it around as facts.

smh indeed.

It's not because people wanted it to have a bigger number than the One. It is more along the lines of the One was criticised for using so much resources on non gaming functionality and was looked down upon for only having 5 GB available for games. Now Sony is speculated to potentially block off even MORE ram, all of a sudden the narrative changes that 4.5 is more than enough. There is NO reason a gaming machine should reserve 3.5 GB for the OS, especially when you are putting in expensive GDDR5 RAM. The Xbox One came out the gate for being a general purpose multimedia box, got roasted up and down about how all these resources were being used for everything but the games and Sony came out the gates boasting about being the machine for core gamers... so there is no reason for Sony to reserve as much if not more resources when their claim to fame is a focus on gaming.

Sure developers aren't complaining about the lack of RAM NOW, but 5 to 7 years down the line, the more resources they have at their disposal, the better. No developer will come close to maximizing a system in the first generation, especially when they are transitioning from previous generation's hardware and working within those limitations, but years into development, when they start pushing the system to the max, the more resources you give developers to push the system even further, the better. The less resources used for the OS and the more freed up for developers the better IMO.

And the missed Microsoft copyright in FF XV trailer.

You can't honestly think that is for real!? looking like that at such an early stage with virtually no information about it!? nothing else looks anywhere near as good as this and they are out in a few months time!

That game is coming if anything in fall 2014.

I'm almost sure he did. It was in the Fridayton MKII thread which seems to have disappeared from the forum haha.

You'd have a point, but this is the quote:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=62495686&postcount=345
Final Fantasy XV is exclusive. Sony was trying to work out Kingdom Hearts III before the conference. I have heard Sony is helping with XV to get the game out in a timely fashion.

In terms of Final Fantasy XV, that's about as hard lined a confirmation as you're going to get. I concede the Kingdom Hearts rumor, since in talks gives you wiggle room, but outright saying that Final Fantasy XV is exclusive and that Sony is helping with the development doesn't give you room for the game to all of a sudden be coming to the Xbox One.

And I am sure he didn't. He said the person he talked to didn't want to give numbers, but that the people in the studio were very happy with the RAM allocation. That's all he said.

And then we've had 3 insiders saying that this supposed RAM allocation is false EDIT: so I don't know why you keep saying this.

Well, I love Sony and all but everything recently has been so controversial for them and developers who are associated with them. Though MS is trying to bring itself up from the shithole they put themselves in, its awfully quiet on their end as everyone is trying to get information from people associated with Sony about everything. Whether it be MS situation and Sony's all together. I'm just saying. I'm not saying Xbox fans aren't bad either because if anything, they are the most gullible out of ALL fanboys.

Yeah, why do you think it's a zoo in threads like these? MS has had such bad news that people are growing tired of even shitting on them. Now that Sony is also giving gamers ammunition to shit on someone, they're going crazy.

But make no mistake, the insanity is the same on both sides of the isle.

I could only check into GAF sporadically the last few days. The PS4 memory thread titles are fucking my brain, the content even more. Well, lets hope that there's a boatload of the RAM I'll be paying for used in-game and not for features I won't use.

Well If the article is ridiculous and false, then why aren't they disclosing the actual numbers? what's the reason?
