Can he afford one? I doubt they are giving them out for free AND the large developers may be buying more than 1 at a time. They have a lot more developers and theoretically more money to spend.

They just aren’t giving him development kits. There have been rumblings that major developers have had them for some time. Square Enix comes to mind.

Dude, you, as end-user know all there is to know about the ps4. how much ram is available per game? do you how much memory your phone has available per app or do you know how much memory the phone has in tota?

And how is it, that knowing how many gigs your console spares per game makes it better/your feel better?

Games are all about optimization these days. do you seriously think any console manufacturer wont disclose that info for whoever buys/loans their dev kits? how dense are you?

This is the only industry where costumers are taken for some stupid idiot kids, who don’t know nothing about anything,and have to swallow all the policies, all the decisions, everything -> like having to buy a half-finished game, full of bugs, micro transactions, etc etc, without being able to express themselves and being heard and understood.

If we buy another device, whether is a digital camera, a phone, a microwave, a dish washer, an amplifier, a TV, a lamp, or a godamn condom,

The manufacturer Will provide all the info they can, materials, speeds, components, schema, manuals, repair information, EVERYTHING.

BECAUSE it’s natural, that the guy who will buy that device, simply wants to know what he will be buying, the power, the performance, etc etc etc.

But when it’s about gamers, we are a bunch of kids, idiots, who, 27 months after release, CAN’T STILL change that damn background color, on the ps4, and must choose 1 color from the 10 or 15 colors SONY exceptionally allow us to choose.

Unlike other things, video games, there are no laws, no lawyers, nothing, to protect gamers, and companies and manufacturers CAN DO ANYTHING THE WANT.

It’s the only industry where a company can sell at retailers a product, a game, that still has 1000 bugs, that isn’t finished, that can’t be played at all, and require a 20gb patch, in order to become ‘almost’ fully functional. Just tell me another company, or product, where such thing can happen.

None.

Because if a company started selling, a blu-ray movie, with only half of the content… or required an update, to enable the audio, or color…

There would be a bunch of people waving some pitchforks…and the problem would be solved, soon.

But anything regarding the video games…we must accept everything. .. and smile.

If apple was selling a 64gb iPhone, ,and the operating system alone was using 20gb, all the buyers would like to be aware of those numbers.

Now, when I buy a ps4, or a ps4 game, WHY CAN’T I KNOW how much RAM is being used ?

Because if a company tries to sell a AAA game, and it turns out that game can only run at 900p, and we find out the game only uses 2.5 gb of ram, instead of 4 or 5 gb, wouldn’t we be fooled. .. wouldn’t the company be lying about their famous ‘maxed out’ engine ?
