PS4 dev had to 'play catch-up' to PC graphics

But streaming things from hdd to ram 5 times faster is worth mentioning coming off from ps3 and 360. You can use the hdd as a buffer for like some time maybe 40~60 sec start playing the game and do a background install or download kinda like diablo 3.

40s * 27mb/s is good for 1GB of game data should be enough to atleast play 1 or 2 levels while installing further in the background. Hell if you force a player through a 2min CG cutscene you can probably just put in the disk and start directly instead of buffering some data first.
Ah, gotcha.

Yea, perfectly understandable.

With games looking like GOW: Ascension, Killzone, Beyond: Two Souls, Uncharted 2/3,etc on ancient PS3 hardware, I'm fucking terrified of what they can do on the PS4. hnnnnnnnnnnng

Will look better than real life, your brain won't be able to comprehend how it can look so good, people will go blind! PS4 is dangerous.
