Nope. Just curious.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Ahahahaha, this got me.

This thread is perfect for lightening my mood on the way to a funeral.

Got me too, hahaha, fucking PopGAF.

Earlier, this thread was filled with people hoping we were headed to a funeral.

[Neuromancer]

[AdvanS13]

[Zeth]

Put your phone away, dick!

Seriously

Spoiler

It's an iPad.

 

[jaosobno]

Uh oh, I think I finally figured out what's wrong with PS4's RAM.

Turns out all the contents of the RAM are erased (!) when you unplug the console :s

Dear god, no!!!! THEY USED VOLATILE MEMORY!? What a bunch of clowns!

Sony is a joke, preorder canceled.

 

[Raist]

You people have absolutely no senses of humor.

Are we supposed to make jokes about the upcoming clash of the next-gen titans now? Do you think this is a motherfucking game?

See ? Too much overhype ! Too much blinded hope without any hindsight !

 

[Minigo]

So, I ain't readin' 2000 posts, especially if this thread went the way I think it did...

Is this an apt summary of this thread?

- Nebulous tweet from some duder who thinks there might be "bad news" on the horizon for Sony.
- Thread gets posted.
- Anti-Sony fanboys come flocking in full of glee and smiles.
- News turns out to not be a reduction of RAM.
- Anti-Sony fanboys scamper back off into the woods, editing posts left and right
- PS4 is architecturally the same as we thought it was last week


Am I in the ballpark?

lol any links to these posts or a wall of shame?

 

[NIGHT-]

What a thread... Lol! Love neogaf

 

[Jinfash]

You people have absolutely no senses of humor.

HOW MUCH FOR THAT TAG?!

 

[mentalfloss]

Guys, it's nothing serious, Sony just cut the RAM amount in ha-OH MA GAHD

 

[Pie and Beans]

Too much blinded hope without any hindsight !

So now you're positioning yourself as a time-traveller?! IT JUST GETS WORSE.

 

[Jinfash]

You know what would funny? If after this premature celebration something negative ends up being revealed. I can only imagine the reactions... Like the dark souls of threads.

[Persona RS]

So, the portuguese Eurogamer already published the article, and says that the developers can access up to 5.5GB of RAM. The rest is reserved to the OS.

 

[Jinfash]

Speaking of tags, when did IdeaMan get tagged? :lol

 

[SniperHunter]

yea you would love that wouldn't you? You would probably have 5 orgasms if 10 seconds if that were true.

"OMG PS4 RAM REDUCTIIOOONN WIIIUUUU WIIIUUUUUU WIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU IWATAA"

What? Really? Wow!

Why so much?

Now I want answers

 

[daveo42]

[Minigo]

the only way to make this gif even better is to have Cerny saying "Oh hi, I upgraded your RAM" at the end.

 

[glenn8]

Seems like you will have to download 3gb of ram day 1...
Sony lied all the way, starting with DRM with ram on first day...
The people with slow internet, they gotta download 3gb of ram, which is about 3gb.
Whats with the people who dont have internet? They can only use 5gb of ram for games. Thats absurd.

I called it! When Sony said only 1gb for the OS I knew I smelled Bullshit. Lol

If this is real then the scare was sorta justified.

 

[mario_O]

So when in the article coming up? It's 4:30pm in Spain already...They must be going through every word very carefully now.

edit- its up!

They didn't.

So I wonder how much RAM was dedicated to OS prior to the increase from 4gb to 8gb? Because it can't have been 2.5gb.

 

[Jinfash]

Someone should post a serious thread now that we have the story.

 

[Minigo]

New Thread? friday is about to become awesome here

 

[SMZC]

What the hell? The game director for The Witness said that they were already using 5GB of the PS4's RAM. How can this be?

 

[FirewalkR]

*yawns*

 

[operon]

Oh shit more drama and floods.

Pendulum swinging back in other direction

 

[acm2000]

"The PlayStation 4 reserves 3.5GB of GDDR5 its 8GB memory for the operating system, leaving 4.5GB of space for game code, according to current documentation PS4 shown to Digital Foundry by a well-placed source in the studio. However, other sources suggest that an additional 1GB of "flexible memory" can be claimed of booking OS, based on availability."

[BRocknRolla]

Cannot wait for poor translations to lead to additional speculation.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Leadbetter is certainly betting the farm on this one.

3.5gb for the OS, with a flexible "return" of 1gb, giving anywhere from 4.5gb to 5.5gb to games.

And nobody else had heard anything? I am not entirely sure how this could be real. No sign of article on English site, even though its Leadbetter?

I can't read it but if they're basing that on GG's presentation...dear lord

 

[chubigans]

So what was the Sony comment?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

3.5GB for the OS? Sony beats Microsoft again.

it doesn't matter son, carnival of stupid part deux is about to start

 

[madmackem]

So they both have access to around the same memory.

 

[Odrion]

So wait, they said that the PS4 originally had 4 gigs.

So it was only going to have 500mb available to developers? Wait, what?
