How about we get an article about how the rumour about the PS4's RAM was false and the new updated rumours that it has 6GB dedicated game ram instead.

@rawkstar007 @PetJel The rumor started when Sony DIDN'T release to us how much RAM it will be using for the OS... Rumors started about the 3.5 gb + 1gb flexible, and Sony came out and said, " We have no comment to make on the amount of memory reserved by the system or what it is used for."

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

Then this happend:

Meanwhile, over on NeoGAF, known insider Thuway hinted PlayStation 4 will reserve six gigabytes of RAM for games and two for the operating system (Update within update: “There are games in development that are using 6 GB of RAM.”)BruceLeeRoy, another known insider, and forum admin Kagari corroborated Thuway’s report.

http://gematsu.com/2013/07/rumor-update-ps4-5gb-ram-games


And during it all:

Brian Provinciano, head of confirmed PlayStation 4 developer Vblank Entertainment, has called the Digital Foundry rumors “absolutely false.”

“It’s absolutely false,” he said in response to the rumors. “Absolutely ridiculous.”

http://gematsu.com/2013/07/rumor-update-ps4-5gb-ram-games




All in all, lots of rumors, though Sony did say they were going to only use 1gb of RAM for the OS like a month ago...so they fibbed.


Personally I'd like to know more about if DEVs will support Mods of any variety on consoles after Major Nelson said it was up to the devs to decide...also about this "Gpu and RAM" boost for the Xbox One. MS came out and asked devs if they'd rather have gpu boosters or 4 more gb's of ddr3 ram, but nothing else official has come out since :( though if there is any decent amount of modding going on for the xbox one, as soon as fallout 4 gets announced I'm preodering the "NSA spy machine" asap lol.

How about having the ability to store a game on some kind of cloud service where you can create a code that can be given to friends to use? When a friend inputs your code they have to pay a small one time fee that goes to the developer.

@duffc25 First get it out of your head that money will directly go to the dev. If there is a system like that set up. The publishers will be fronting the money on that. . They would also have to create a system that tracks the individual game to make sure the correct dev team gets their due. Since there are multiple devs under a publisher. If you believe that, then i bet you believe in world piece in our life time.

Second. what you suggested is my friend pay the devs so he can borrow my game digitally? Why not just hand it to him for free?

@Busta Ideally handing over your game for free is the the best choice, but with games becoming more digitally downloaded physically handing them over becomes a problem. Your right about money going directly to the dev as of right now. World peace would be nice, but I don't believe it's an accomplishing goal.

How about a server where you log into to play games instead of downloading them?

How is selling and buying used games hazardous to game industry? New games are too expansive. I always wait for sale or used games. If they think trading used game is hurting them, they can lower their prices.

@vinnypharmacist I'll support the disintegration of the used game industry as soon as the developers collectively strive to make games that people don't want to re-sell in the first place. But that's way too difficult a goal for them to achieve.

So, rather than trying to earn more money from people through customer loyalty, quality products, and value, they would rather kick and scream while trying to force our hand through DRM. Why would anyone want to support that? It's like rewarding a child who is on timeout for not cleaning his room with ice cream simply because he was screaming bloody murder and the parent wanted to shut him/her up.

If you reward bad behavior, game developers will cross every line in the sand that you draw and bleed you dry if you let them.

@rawkstar007 @vinnypharmacist One way to cut down on resale is not to release a sequel to your mult- million dollar franchise EVERY YEAR! . Yes..I'm going to sell my old (insert sports game), cod, bf, and what looks now to be Assassin's creeds. (i'll hold onto 1 and 2)

"If they don't like it, they should just buy back games from users, and sell used games themselves."
How the hell should they sell a digital game "used"?

"True and I have every right to do with my property almost whatever I do."
True but the point is that you don't own games, you own a license. So it's not even your property.

"I have to wait a year for game to drop in price, just to buy used one, 'cause used one's price dropped too."
Used games are the reason why prices for new games don't drop that fast....

"I know, right?" Flawless delivery.


Its interesting that "arseholes" is allowable, but "shitfight" apparently must be bleeped.

@digits52 Hey, I made a petition. Please take the time to read through it, and if you would like please share it with whoever you know that would like to sign it. Thank you very much.


Goal: Help establish a mod-market for console games.


In an effort to form a more perfect market for both the producer and consumer, we the people hear by stand against the liquidity trap that holds our dollar hostage. We wish to incite the reclamation of our beloved culture as the forerunners to the Magnum Opus out of this oversaturated market. With us we bring hope to the crass atmosphere that envelope the developers of our fine culture and heritage. No longer will they be cut out; with your help no longer will they be lost in their proclivity. With their profit margins widened we stand. With 3rd party retailers we wage fiscal warfare. We need, and you want, a market where your developers get the funding they want and need. With such reclamation we need a leader. We ask you to bring back what was once sublime, and give us a market that we supply. Our creativity will guide us. Using the debug kits found in your new console, mods beget profits, but no one will invest. End this liquidity trap. Offer developers the security they need to support mods, make sure developers get a piece of used game sales at 3rd party retailing outlets, and we the gamers will see your coffers filled. We ask only that our skilled youth have their go, just as they will in the self-published indie game’s market.
