um nah... nah brah

the climbing mechanics and puzzles were very similar to each other.

Not a bad thing but if you go back to the first week of everybody playing TR in our threads we were all comparing it to a mix of 3 games
Uncharted & Resident Evil 4 & Far Cry 3

there was definitely some circular inspiration, which is kind of amusing. Uncharted took some things from old Tomb Raider, and new TR took some things from Uncharted.

Not saying it's not slower (obviously it is), but are you really going to pretend any game needs more than 5 gb of ram?

Right now? It doesn't... 3 years from now? It will. No PC games use 8 gigs because MOST people have 3-4 gigs of ram. If every single console on the platform has 8 gigs... they can utilize 8 gigs of ram, and target that when developing the games.

**Krandor** · 2013-05-27 17:43

Its more that most games are still effectively x86 based, so they can't use more then 2 gigs if they wanted.

The fact that both consoles are using shared memory is going to be having an effect as well. Most PC games nowadays are designed around a ~2gb vram capacity at 1080p, some can use more then that (Skyrim). That number will definitely be going up, probably as soon as the next generation of GPUs comes out next year.

Sadly there will be a lot of shitty developers who will design games around the xbox specs and then lazily port them to PS4/PC. At least this means better Sony first party titles though.

**Skidz** · 2013-05-27 21:47

How many gigs does the PS4 OS take up?

**Cantih** · 2013-05-27 22:00

I cba to doublecheck atm, but I believe 1 gig of ram is locked from developer use.
As for size on HDD, no idea.

Doesn't the PS3 have better specs than the 360?

I think the PS3's RAM was terrible or something. Don't remember the exact specs though.

In theory yes but working with the cell was fucking terrible so no one was able to fully utilize it, the ps3 does have shittier ram though compared to 360.

GOW and Uncharted seemed to utilize it well. Third parties had the problems.

**Kaisha** · 2013-05-27 23:10

Do you figure it was due to Cell being a bit ahead of its time for how games were programmed prior?
A lot of the techniques developers learned to use with Cell will be more applicable than ever with the new consoles having 6'ish mutli-threaded cores for the devs to play with. Can't just throw all the processing tasks on 2-3 cores and call it a day.

Granted, the fixed amount of ram for the CPU/GPU didn't help much on multi-plats compared to 360's unified memory.
