Playstation 4 is the "perfect gaming PC"

Epic Games thinks they can do “crazy, ridiculous stuff” with the PS4

Yes. And the Smart ForTwo is the perfect city car. But you still don't want to drive one.

A predominantly console games developer thinks a new console is the best thing in the world. Big surprise.

I'd also like to know what leads him to think most gamers use 32bit operating systems, because last time I checked the average gamer has between 4-8gb of RAM nowadays.

Can't they do

“crazy, ridiculous stuff”

with a current-gen PC as well? I'm just curious.

I'd love to know where these guys get their info from, because they are so, so far off the mark ... not the kind of thing I'd want to hear from game devs.

I'm not saying this to bash on consoles, but they seem to be operating on ideas from slightly before Windows Vista's release.

Indeed. I've never been interested in the console vs PC debate, but these guys really do seem to be stuck in 2008.

He said most PCs not most gamers, two very different things. I use 32bit as well, not that it really matters. I don't really care about the specs, just give me awesome games that I can play on it.

“The other exciting thing is that Windows for most people is tied to about 2GB of addressable memory space. This really opens up beyond what most PCs can do, because most PCs are running a 32-bit version of Windows.”

Last I checked the PS4 is using unified GPU/RAM and a semi-modified APU so they will juggle between GPU RAM and system RAM a lot.

***EDIT
Also would like to know how much of the engine is being limited due to the hardware of the PS4. It's so easy to render a time demo, just saying.

Its a hard life when you need to justify your platform or development for it. This is so much simpler: Just play and enjoy your games.
