RUMOR: PS4 Games To Have 4.5GB of PS4 RAM, OS To Have 3.5GB


Good morning folks.

Before I begin this, take this story with a grain of salt.

The article from EuroGamer claims that Digital Foundry got documents from "a well placed development source," it's an unnamed source.

Digital Foundry has been know to give "falsies" in the past from "well placed sources" this has not been confirmed by Sony

Source:http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-ps3-system-software-memory


According to the article, the PS4 will reserve 3.5GB of the 8GB GDDR5 memory for the operating system, leaving 4.5 GB of space for game code.

However, further sources suggest that an additional 1GB of "flexible memory" may be reclaimed from the OS reservation, based on availability, making 5.5GB potentially accessible.

Internal Sony documents suggest that 4.5GB is the "baseline amount of guaranteed memory available" for games, but the additional 1GB of "flexible memory" can be used by devs to "boost elements of the game" as long as the memory isn't needed by the PS4 OS.

PS4 dev kits currently contain a "Game Memory Budget Mode" that offers "normal" and "large" options, with normal allowing for 4.5GB of memory usage by games, while "large" boosts that number to 5.25GB.

The RAM allocation has not been confirmed by Sony as of now.

______________________________________________________

First of all, Eurogamer has been known to have Sony come in and correct them. They have a history.

Second, PS4 hasn't confirmed the RAM allocation. These numbers are not set in stone so they're subject to change later. Maybe when Gamescom begins Sony will come out to confirm the RAM numbers or maybe in the next few days Sony will confirm the RAM numbers.

People are already going with this story saying that this is "bad news" for the PS4.

It hasn't been confirmed.

Also, Digital Foundry is also stating that 3GB of the Xbox One RAM will be used for the OS, also not confirmed by Microsoft.

I won't even speculate on what this means if these rumors turn out to be true, I don't even know what these numbers mean now!

Thank you for reading.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Weapon Guide:M-TAR Assault Rifle

Hello everyone, time for my first weapon guide of Black Ops 2. Today we're looking at the starting assault rifle, the M-TAR. History The Micro-Tar is a micro version of the TAR-21 rifle. It's designed to take advantage of a shorter barrel which means decreased recoil but increased accuracy. Designed for special fores units, it is capable of converting to different ammo variants such as the NATO standard 5.56 cartridge and the 9mm submachine gun round. It is also designed to be capable of attaching a Suppressor, as of 2009 a grenade launcher was being designed to attach to the M-TAR, the M-TAR can attach the M203PI grenade launcher. If you're a FPS veteran then you saw this weapon first in Battlefield 3 as part of the Close Quarters DLC, for COD veterans we saw this weapon's bigger brother, the TAR-21 in Modern Warfare 2. I'm warning you now, the M-TAR is not the TAR-21 we saw in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer Stats, Attachments and Performance In gam...

Retro Gazette Reviews:Batman Returns SNES Review

Hello everyone. Welcome to another one of my Retro Reviews. Today we're going to be looking at a personal favorite of mine from the Super Nintendo era. Batman Returns. Story Music If you can't tell all ready from the intro video above, the music to Batman Returns for the SNES sounds great and does a good job of recreating some of the songs we heard in the film. My personal favorite stage music is from Stage 7 when you enter Arctic World, The Liberation of Gotham track sounds amazing in 16 bit audio. It's strange to review the music in a video game but the audio stands out so much and does an amazing job, again of recreating the films' soundtrack. Presentation The graphics and detail of Batman Returns is very good and ironically is much more colorful than the Tim Burton film. Gotham City, although currently suffering from a clown riot looks fantastic and Konami yet again does a good job of recreating scenes from the film, you see all these backgro...
