GP: We recently got in touch with Alexey Menshikov, founder and CEO, Beatshapers to talk about their upcoming Playstation 4 exclusive game "Ready To Run". We talked with Alexey on numerous topic related to "Ready To Run" such as resolution at which the game runs of Playstation 4, what development team at Beastshapers think about PS4's Unified Architecture and 8GB GDDR5 RAM and more.
Push Square: "Ukrainian developer Beatshapers had already been working on Ready to Run for a while when we spoke to the studio in February, but it doesn't sound like the remote control racer will be ready for release any time soon. With its ongoing virtual reality experiments, along with continued work on streaming shooter #killallzombies, the firm has delayed the PlayStation 4 title into the second half of 2015."
"You may or may not be aware of Beatshapers, the Ukraine-based development studio that helped bring Jetpack Joyride and many other ports to the PlayStation Network along with developing Z-Run and the BreakQuest series."
Ps4 is the most powerful console on earth and with its unique 8gbs gddr5 ram developers will do amazing things
Well, you know. You can always get 12Gb of GDDR5 on NVIDIAs latest card if you have 3000$ to spare (other PC parts not included)
OR You could go with AMDs 16Gb GDDR5 Hawaii card for just 4000$.

Exactly, go laugh alone.
unless you compare it to pc's but fanboys won't understand this because there blind to the truth

by the way I own a ps4, Xbox 1 and a gaming pc so I not trying to be a fanboy I just making a statement
Normally I would agree, but the fact that he/she said console you're in the wrong here.
Besides the point of consoles is to have an affordable gaming rig that's easy to set and and play for everyone. THe vast majority of console gamers aren't shelling out $500 - $600 for just the GPU, when they can buy an entire console for the same price or less.
That's why consoles and PC's should never be compared. PC hardware is a vision of what consoles will become over the next generation.
Every human being on earth understands, hopefully, that a PC can be more powerful than a PS4.
A PS4's architecture cannot change. A PC can. I have one coming in next week from iBuyPower that I spent $1300 on. Down from $1900, too! They have great deals.
The point is... Yes, fanboys understand that. Everyone understands that. He said "PS4 is the most powerful console on earth". That is correct.
...PC is not a console. People don't compare the angry birds cell phone version to the Console version because they are totally different platforms. When I see people mention PC in console debates, I think deep down they are a little jealous , other wise it would not matter knowing they have a prettier(not always better) gaming experience. Let it go.
The PS4 is the most powerful console. If we are going to compare everything to a PC than Xbox One and Wii U are DOA. Everyone doesn't want to spend $700 to $1500 on a gaming rig.

"why do pc fanboys view these posts?"
To justify the thousands they spend to play the exact same games we do with a few extra frames and graphic effects. Its ridiculous how they seem to scour the forums for any console post to pledge their PC superiority. I imagine some of them spend more time doing so in these forums, than actually playing games.
I have PC friends and they see the benefit of both consoles and PCs, but some PC people think they need to justify their existence by constantly upgrading their rigs to be the best, so they can brag about it to anyone who will or wont listen. Its kind of scary that any one person would base their existence off of the framerate their PC can churn out. Its really no different than drug addiction, the difference being, generally drug addicts dont spend their time in forums bragging about it... They just do it and move on to the next high. :)
Just got a PC for 570 quid. Wipes the floor with the two consoles. In around 3-4 years I will put in another 8GB's of RAM and a new GPU. And be set for next gen too. Ah, thank god you don't have to pay 50 quid a year to play online on PC. Otherwise PC would end up more expensive than consoles are.
The thing I don't understand about PC fanboys is why do they keep reminding us that PC gaming is better. Are they jealous that consoles get more attention, are they insecure?
Let me ask all the people who commented to this post how many of you where xbox 360 fans against the ps3 then jumped ship to the ps4
Why would they? It's as fast or faster than XBONE's CPU.

Hes not comparing to the Xbox I think hes comparing to PCs in general which usually have around 1.5x the clock speed if not more.
Lol, keep telling yourself that... CPU's are the Back Bone of Gaming, without a good CPU, your $1000 GPU wont reach it's potential.
The consoles don't have a $1000 GPU though do they.
The difference between the console CPUs are minor. Reduce your (PC) CPU clock speed slightly and you see next to no difference when gaming.
@Gutz
Then why did Nintendo, Sony and MS all go with a more powerful GPU but a weaker CPU then? And even on PC, alot of the times the faster CPU doesnt get you better framerates unless the game is CPU bound
One way to make a traditional interview more interesting.
Got to make something out of nothing.
You illiterate?
I'd just rather have news submitted appropriately. Rather than have a clickbait title that causes a comment section centred around a single sentence of the entire interview. Do you think the dev is happy to give up their time for their feedback to be twisted?
"Ready To Run is an upcoming RC car racing game that is under development at the Ukraine based studio, Beatshapers."
Putting GDDR5 ram instead of regular ram was a great move. Mark Cerny's a genius.
Cerny isn't the first to pioneer using GDDR in this way though. The XBox 360 had unified GDDR3 RAM for the CPU and GPU. True story.
Of course the 360 had 10mb EDRAM as well so you couldn't say the entire memory system was unified like the PS4.
No sir, I do not.

Whack 360 GDDR3 into google and you'll find plenty other references.
Don't fret though, it takes nothing away from the PS4. If anything it alleviates doubts that GDDR might not be suitable for CPU operations.
Well if Cerny isn't a genius he sure is the smartest dumb@ss idiotic sob I ever heard of and you can take that to the bank.
Plus, his name has CERN in it and CERN is the euro organization for nuclear research and junk and nuclear physicists are smart... ergo... Mark Cerny is smart.
Pure logic right there
Gamingbolt sure do like to ask small devs these leading questions. Whenever you see an article about how much someone loves "8GB GDDR5" you know hosted the interview.
If it turns out to be 1080p 60fps more xbone fanboys will rage
keeping an eye of this game, teaser trailer looked really amazing: the car model they showed....AMAZING DETAILS
I thought racing games were easy to hit 1080p, 60fps?
That means it sucks right?
LOL at the xbox fans in here. SOUR GRAPES MUCH?
Isn't this what you complain about in xbox articles?
