PS4 is the “the world’s best PC”

Vice President Mark Rein of Unreal Engine creator of Epic Games has honored the PS4 for the “crazy, ridiculous stuff” developers have been doing with it, as if they were “giving you the world’s best PC.”

During an interview with CVG he says, “I think it’s a very smart move on Sony’s behalf to build this sort of enhanced PC architecture and then put so much in it. Let’s not forget it has 16 times the memory we had in PlayStation 3 – that’s not insignificant. Knowing that every machine has that, we can do crazy, ridiculous stuff with that,”

He also mentioned, “Even Windows for most people is tied to about 2 GB 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. It’s like giving you the world’s best PC,”

  1. Most computers run 64 bit? 2 gigs of memory? Wtf? I'm on a $400 64bit PC with 24 gigs of ram, and all the other specs ALREADY beat the new PS4. I still prefer it over Xbox.

    1. You are just a crazy gamer with lots of cash to buy unneeded pc hardware 24GB of ram ? There is no game that supports or utilizes any more than that of 8 gb. Console ram's are designed that way that the game utilizes a whole lot of it. And 400$? I have a 900dollars pc yet when i turn on Tressfx in tombraider it gets lag rather than in ps3 with tressfx hair settings it runs on smooth i-e more than 30fps even at HD.

    3. if Tressfx lags on your 900 dollar rig then it must be customized really bad? i have 4GB Ram , 8 core cpu (which are also not needed for games) and gtx670. Tomb raider never laged…. this stuff about ps4 being the new God of gaming specifications is stupid. It will own xbox but PC…? never. Only new investment I'm doing in near future will be another gtx670 which is damn good and maybe 8GB of RAM and I'm sure that my rig will own any game in PS4/XBOX 720 era.

    4. first of all, basic home Computers are what they are referring too. secondly i hate how all these people are talking like they know hardware, any half witted computer hardware specialist can tell you the ps3s hard and architect is very advanced even for some of the newest top of the line gamming computers. this is a console not a computer so stop comparing it t one, simple fact is when companies like sony amd and nvidia make hardware for a console it tends to be better then the similar hardware made for a pc because it is specially made for the consoles purposes

    6. Well the article talks about the limitation of the OS runing on Most pc
      2gb of ADDRESSABLE Memory of the OS not the fucking machine or your fucked up ram
      try reading articles that makes ps4 better than 90% pc's out there like having the gpu and cpu at the same set/ integrated cpu and gpu = incomparable transfer speeds faster processing …fuck your pc and move on

    7. You're Most likely a Noob at PC which shows that if you Lag in Tombraider with a 900$ PC you're doing your life wrong. Advice for you sir. Never in your life buy a Pre-built PC.

  3. I see what they did here saying PC meaning just a general PC as opposed to a gaming PC but even than it still doesn't beat that. Stop trying to pump people that don't know anything up into believing crap like this.

  4. pc gamers get of its ps4 it was build for gaming a pc emulates games or runs the at a higher base but ps3 or for still and will allways be a cheaper way to game in hd or anyway you want to….so if you got 2000 for a pc that's just gone get a virus and fuck up go head.am stick to my ps4 and pay once and no need to upgrade f…

  7. Jest built a Windows 7 Computer today PS4 the worlds best pc I think NOT! Windows 7 32 bit Caps 32 Gig of memory. 64 bit can still do more depending on your motherboard. True Intel's been living on it's name for years now, with there over priced and over rated CPU's. Who really cares about that, There done and they know now that's why they aren't making desktop CPU's any more only mobile CPU's. They won't last to much longer there ether because AMD now the A series CPU's, so AMD has better bang for the buck there too! PS3 I do like don't get me wrong. But no console will ever have more power than a well built PC!!!! PS3 Never even came close to doing so. And I've read about the PS4 nice yes better than the PC NO only to a person who doesn't know how to use one.

    1. I'm Building that at home. I have two Server Towers and Never actually got inspired to do anything with them till a few days ago. I'm hoping to test them on a Very fascinating Private server of a game I may find interesting.

  9. the ps4 is a great machine, and I hate seeing all these idiots commenting about how their gamming pcs are better, this is a console and honestly I can tell you why the hardware in the ps4 can still out perform the hardware in most of your "gaming rigs".

    1. ummm. No dude. You're probably thinking Based on Pre-Built PC's I can assure you most people here know what they are talking about and do not buy Pre-Built PC's. In fact, I can assure you that the Hardware of PS4 can be doubled on a PC for the same price.

    Ram: 32 gb of RAM gddr3.
    Graphics: Nvidia Geforce GTX 690.
