Original Crysis had more than 2M poligons on some scenes on highest settings. 30k is very low...
they were talking about individual characters, not entire scenes. Watch the event and you'd have known.

It's Unified Memory meaning it's both system and video card memory.And the 8gb of ram was for the PS4's system memory, not the GPU
Okay guys, I think this is a bit of a misprint.
Didn't they say it would have 8GB of RAM, and it would have GDDR5 on its graphics card (without giving it a number)?
8GB of GDDR5 sounds ridiculous for the power of the graphics card they will be using.
Yeah and pigs can fly. The 8 gigs is system RAM, not video RAM.8GB "GDDR5"? The GeForce Titan only has 6GB. This thing could blow all gaming PCs out of the water.
The rumor is 429 and 529It'll come in between $350 - $400. No way will Sony price this at $499.
eh just better graphics... I gotta say Killzone got me interested, looks awesome, but there will be plenty of those types of games ahead for PC.I'm happy with the first three PlayStations. There are so many great games who needs a new system?
The current consoles bottleneck what can be done in terms of graphics, and scale. Some people are fine being locked in at graphics which are lower than the 'low' setting on the PC versions, and being locked in at 30fps. But they tend to be the people who haven't experienced the better graphics on a PC.I'm happy with the first three PlayStations. There are so many great games who needs a new system?
3 way SLI try 18GB GDDR5!!!!!!!!
Yeah but you have to cough up $3000 for that 18gb

No we don't. Consoles are fine for kids but real men use the proper tool. A PC.The current consoles bottleneck what can be done in terms of graphics, and scale.

Look at it this way: the only thing that let us go from Pacman sized games (not that I dislike Pacman of course) to Battlefield, and Crysis, and Grand Theft Auto, etc, is more powerful consoles. Grand Theft Auto is a great example, because they wanted to add more to GTA4, like jets - but couldn't, because the console couldn't handle more.
Imagine being able to go into every single house in the game, or imagine what the next stage of destruction could be for Battlefield.
There is a reason Battlefield limits the amount of people on a console, compared to the 64 per game on PC. People need to realize that we really do need new generation consoles.
No we don't. Consoles are fine for kids but real men use the proper tool. A PC.
Of course they are but you have to realize buying a console costs far less than a gaming PC hence their popularity. Publishers are only interested in making money so they publish more games for consoles and put PC games on the back burner. When they're asked about this they always cite: 1. PC game piracy is too rampant. 2. There are far to many PC configurations to be able to cater for all of them.I agree, I only PC game. But don't you think PC games are being held back, because of games being produced primarily for consoles, and not utilizing the more powerful PC's?
As for my personal experience, I have 2 as doorstops, 1 still working.@ dennis777
Wait so what's your PS3 sitting there for?
lol, the RAM size does not affect the speed of graphic card.8GB "GDDR5"? The GeForce Titan only has 6GB. This thing could blow all gaming PCs out of the water.

While I tend to agree somewhat with their 2nd statement, the 1st one has gotten old very quickly.
Okay and I still have my original xbox 360 from 8 years ago and it is working beautifully; in contrast I went through 3 ps2 in that consoles lifetime... you can throw out subjective allegories all you want but hardware failure happens... TO EVERY CONSOLE.In contrast, my phat PS2 still works after 13 years. So does my Gamecube for that matter, but Nintendo has always made tough machines.
