GB: "We had a chance to speak founder and COO of Geomerics Chris Doran, whose company created Enlighten which is used for creating lighting for games like Battlefield 4 on the subject of - what else? - next generation consoles. Specifically, we compared the Xbox One's 8 GB DDR3 RAM and the PlayStation 4's 8 GB DDR5 RAM, with 5 GB and 7 GB allocated to games respectively, and asked Doran which is a better solution for crafting realistic lighting."
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work

Rumors indicate that Palworld will soon enjoy a raise to the level cap, but this isn’t the only way that Pocket Pair should expand the endgame.
TheGamer recently spoke with lead editor Josh Malone and senior translator Dan Sunstrum about their work localising the Like a Dragon series at Sega.
I'm not interested in what will be sufficient NOW. I want to know what will be sufficient 2 years from now, 4 years from now, and beyond that. PS3 had weaker RAM and a weaker GPU but it ended up pulling ahead in graphics due to Cell.
The PS4 is superior in - literally - every conceivable hardware aspect compared to Xbox One. The bigger pool and unified pool of RAM (which the X1 does not have) is going to play a big role in the future, especially as PCs continue moving in that direction. Twice the output pipelines and 30% more shader cores in the GPU may make a differences, too.
the xbox one GPU has two independant bus's, one to DDR3, one to the ESRAM.
BY contrast, the PS4 has a 2 very small bus's between the CPU and GPU, and one main memory bus.
MS chose the DDR3 because its more efficient to run the 3 OS although it is slower the ESRAM helps out.
The 176GB on GDDR5 not all of it is accesible to developers.
Xbox one is good with its 102gbs or 196 gbs available for developers to use but what people seem to forget 5 out of eight gigs is available to developers so really of whatever number it can crank out just subtract about thirty percent and thats whats really available because of the os running on the one. Ps4 on the other hand uses only one gig of ram for os so in the end ps4 is ahead and will be future proofed more than xbox. Mark cerny did his homework and is the ps4 takes off he could become an executive in this company which would be great
I dont understand this whole dd3 and gdd5 thing the only thing i know is that the ps4 is more powerfull
Nice, PS4 has the advantage again. Thanks Sony :)
