Crytek wants 8GB of RAM in next-gen consoles

I am eating so much crow right now. My original post was pretty short sighted, in hindsight.
If you actually play it, it is mediocre.
Well, I guess that's that then.

Crytek should have demand 20, let Sony meet them in the middle. Stupid Crytek settled too low. They failed all gamers.
Not, its not.

I have nothing to be ashamed of in terms of prediction in this thread

So now make a game OPTIMISED for these consoles.
A little ironic coming from a Killzone fan
(judging by your avatar at least)just some friendly teasing

Good thread. I like.
Fun read, lol.

I've completed just the first three missions and I couldn't disagree more. Crysis 3 is fucking brilliant.
I could very easily see how gamers now used to Call of Duty style campaigns would find it annoying or lacking in fun, however. It's a perfect blend of Crysis and Crysis 2 with fantastic level design and awesome encounters. Unless it dips dramatically as the game proceeds this is shaping up to be one of the best shooters in a while.

I love reading these kinds of things after some time passes.
To be fair, I would've thought 2gb too but still, pretty funny.

Also to be fair we don't know the price yet. A lot of people said they didn't think they'd do it for price reasons. They might have, but the price might be ridiculous. That being said it's funny to read these old posts!

Haha yes. I spat out my tea when Cerny said "8GB."

The thing is that if would have been a MS conference the assistants would have broke into applause... the only thing i heard were hard swallows ( the Kotaku guy the first )
I almost spat out my coffee reading this.

the older posts in this thread are downright hilarious
If it was a Microsoft press conference it would have been a dancer on stage taming a lion while jumping through a flaming hoop that says "EIGHT GIGABYTES OF FUCKING RAM".

Nothing beats the PS3 launch threads... Who needs 60 gig hard drives, who needs blu-ray players, who needs wifi capabilities, keep the costs down.
Though I will admit, I was surprised Sony is giving 8 gigs of GDDR5 RAM, and while PC games will ultimately surpass what the PS4 is capable of, be prepared to be blown away by what devs will be able to do.
Think about it, games like Watch Dogs, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, were running on paltry ps3 hardware.
There is so much you can do when you have set hardware to work with. It's why I was really hopeful about the Steambox, that finally PC gaming will have a group of users with ultimately the same hardware that devs can take note of. Far too often, launches of games are hampered by driver issues, different hardware etc.

I just want to go on record and say I didn't give in to some of GAF's pessimism and inability to look forward. Here's my post earlier in the thread, although I did predict the year wrong so take it as you will.
I'm not posting this as a "fuck you" to the people that gave me shit in this/other threads, but I figure I at least get to show that I wasn't wrong, and am not eating, the crow.

Weren't we still hopeful for a 2012 release when this thread was created?
Ram densities doubling this year explains 4GB-> 8GB so naturally it looks less outlandish now.
Even then noone was expecting 8GB on the 19th of february

You know how the Genesis had "16-Bit" on the console?
The PS4 should have it's ram specs on the front of the console as well in big silver letters.
That would be so stupid if they did that and I would love it.
I have a feeling that Crytek wanting 8GB of RAM has backfired on MS.
We all know that Crytek are going to be doing a exclusive for MS so chances are their opinions mattered in development of Durango. What are the chances that MS obliged thinking DDR3 was the only possible solution, to now have that completely bite them in the arse with Sony's announcement of 8GB of GDDR5

A lot of people were actually saying 2014 and 2015 if I remember correctly, which is why I said it in my quote...and they STILL were saying 8 gigs was totally ridiculous.

I think it was more that PC devs can start making games with 8GB as a minimum in mind without it severely limiting their abilities to port it to consoles. Who knows though, until Microsoft comes out and confirms what they're packing.

8gb was crazy in 2011 n normal now. Don't see da crow eatin.
Nice
I think the biggest surprise was that it was 8GB DDR5 though. No one expected it. Rumors were 4GB DDR5 and most people were fine with it.
Makes me wonder what MS will do. I believe the rumor was 8gb of DDR3 for them.
We thought PS4 was going to be 4GB, right? And MS upped the RAM on the 360 last minute. So maybe after the PS4 announcement they've called in a quick RAM boost to steal some show. They're using DDR3, right? So they could do 12 GB, sure.

My favorite parts of these old ram threads are the die hards ripping people throats out at the mere suggestion that they would use DDR3 ram in a console when 2/3 of the Gen 8 consoles are using it.

This thread takes me back, haha.
Where are those threads where everyone said Witcher 2 set the bar for what next-gen will look like?

The PS4 looks like it's more powerful than my current PC and I can play Crysis 2 on Extreme/Ultra around 30-45fps. I would expect the PS4 to easily equal and surpass that. And whilst my PC cost around £900 I doubt the PS4 will be more than half that, probably less. It's got the muscle.

I need to eat my crow as well. No way did I think any console would get 8gb of ram this upcoming generation. I have been gaming on 360 and xbox since they were both out and with the hardware PS4 is showing, I will definitely be picking one up around launch.
I need to buy a PS4!
