Do you mean this post?
We have yet to see the impact of that decision (as in cost, power consumption, etc).Lesson learned in this thread?
Just because you're a hardware enthusiast that builds pc's in your own spare time doesn't make qualified to be an expert in Research and development for consoles.
Armchair tech gaf got owned. HARD
You know what; I'm glad Crytek was very vocal about it, and I'm glad Sony is taking input from developers. It's a win-win for everyone.
I wasn't a believer but now I am and I'm loving it!
Hmm. According to my subscriptions page, I replied in this very thread. Can't seem to find my post though. Will be interesting to see what I posted.
If 8GB of ram can give us multitasking and save states I will cream my pants.
-In game video player with PIP
-In game video chat
-In game web browser
-In game recording
Wait, fuck this shit. I'm just setting myself up for disappointment.
hahaha i seriously bust out laughing when I read this. wow.
I'm all for more ram in the next consoles but 1 that's an excessive amount for a console and 2 that's never going to happen.
Well.... shit.
Someone get me some honey mustard I need to choke this sumbitch down...
8GB is great however how much of that is reserved for the OS and background recording, we don't know yet.
No way that's happening. I'll be shocked if we get more than two gigs of RAM.
Crytek should wish for more things.

$399 price point?
Its gonna be a lot. Especially if the system has 480p or more recording res. Plus you have to dedicate some hardware resources to it.
Yeah this thread was created in 2011 and technology is moving really fast.
Still funny
Ok Crytek, I'm ready to eat.
Sony made the mistake of going with the most exotic shit possible. Things that were almost impossible to reduce the costs on. If you take a hit on something like GPU, RAM, etc. - your costs will significantly lower. Sony can easily release a -
Multi Cell
8 gig Ram
GTX 580 equivalent or better
at 399 in 2013.
What.
No, just no. Unless you want to pay up to - or more than $800
Good one.
You've got to be joking lol.
Assuming they would be able to pull something like that off... their loses in production would be huge and for a long time.
There's just no way.
Well Crytek got their wish
Now they can make the super prettiest mediocre shooter evar!!
Still no 16? YAWN.

2 GB video RAM, 2-4 GB of system RAM.
My PC already has more.
I don't see what the fuss is over lots of system RAM. Email checker PCs for $400 come with 6-8 GB. Consoles don't use the same RAM and it's uber expensive? Fire your supplier and engineer a damn solution. Not sure why $100 in COGs is suddenly not worth designing around when you're planning on making 50 million units, lol.
