nothing will ever come come close to opening up the spider-man font ps3 again, probably

[Kalahari Inkantation]

agreed

also, http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/26/report-ps4-reserves-3-5gb-of-ram-for-the-os/

if true, i can't imagine what about their os could possibly require that much ram, especially considering that even the xbox one does significantly more with (slightly) less

plus at one point the ps4 was to have a mere 4gb of ram and it was decided that wasn't enough, but this brings it almost right back down to 4 for games

i read somewhere else that there's another 1gb of ram that games can access if need be, but i'm not sure where i saw that lol

anyway, most games don't even use more than 4gb of ram on pc, so having 4.5 on more optimised console games should be more than enough, hopefully lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah, according to the rumour they can have access to up to 5.5gb in special cases

and while it should hopefully still be enough for most purposes, i still don't understand what caused the os to balloon so much in size between then and now, especially considering what it does in comparison to the xbox one's not one, but three (well maybe more like 2.5) separate operating systems

my guess is sony wants really smooth multitasking when you're in the os but have a game in the background.  currently the xmb can cause the ps3 to chug insanely lol

what is wrong with you guys, the launch ps3 is like their second ugliest system, ps3 superslim being the ugliest

[Kalahari Inkantation]

i honestly believe the launch ps3 is the most physically attractive console of all time

not to mention the store

not to mention the store

the store is an abomination in its current incarnation indeed

what is wrong with you guys, the launch ps3 is like their second ugliest system, ps3 superslim being the ugliest

its curves, its layered little stand and the spider-man font combine to make the most seductive electronic known to man

Seems like they're starting to address all their criticisms. I guess they figured they hit the end if their stride with their current implementations.

microsoft still has to show these things in action.  as far as i'm concerned the ps4 seems to be the only console that's actually ready to launch this year

God knows the Wii U wasn't ready. :'(
