Yes, some games do not require that much memory, this is really all it means… it’s like asking if someone needs a car to go to their neighbor’s house… well, yes they can use it, but honestly they don’t need that much resources.

Some other devs will come and complain that 8GB is not enough for their project, some devs will also say that their game would run much better if the machine had 64GB of RAM twice as fast as the PS4 has and that the machine had 3 Titans in there it would let them do more… it really depends what they’re trying to do and how much they can optimize.

In reply to Lara Croft. Lara u so dumb, it didn't change anything for them as their game Among the Sleep is not that memory intense app , so read and be informed before posting BS like that , its not like it was so memory demanding on PC that PS4 8 GB allowed easier development and running the game , hes just saying they could do same thing with 2-3 GB on PS4 or whatever

There’s every chance that a small-ish indie game would be smaller in total size than the 4-6GB available for games, in which case I’m not surprised at all it didn’t make a lot of difference to them ;).

Why does it have to be some sort of contest? Basically, all the guy is saying is RAM isn’t the limiting factor to the learning curve. So far the comments I have read are full of ignorance and stupidity. The people commenting so far obviously know nothing about coding. Those making comments so far would be: Lara Croft, Allen, Jeff Maxwell, and Jecht_Sin.

Oh 8GB of ram didn’t change much for this Indie developer I never heard of. Wow!

So Krillbite you uh gonna plan on pushing the system hardware on your next game or just settle with good enough?

Be funny if it couldn’t do 60fps underpowered garbage
