PS4 like "the world’s best PC", says Epic boss
Rein made this master race-enraging comment in a GDC interview with CVG.
“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,” he said. “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.
“The other exciting thing is that when you think about Windows, even Windows for most people is tied to about 2GB 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.”
Rein said many of the features Sony has announced for the console, like background downloads, are “super convenient”.
“The kind of stuff that they announced that they’re doing, the level of convenience and things like that – they’re making a really perfect gaming PC,” he said.
“I’ve always said that the things in the next-generation that aren’t just brute force hardware are all about the service and simplicity of the experience – the things that make it as fun and easy to get a PS4 game as it is to get a game on your iPad.”

"because most PCs are running a 32-bit version of Windows" - Most people who play games on PC have a 64 Bit OS.

Yeah...consoles still cant even have multi-display support. PC has had it for years... If anyone ahs ever pplayed a game with 3 surround monitors ina 5760x1080 resolution knows nothing compares to that experience. Also, consoles arent open source which means no mods.. not 10th lobby 1337 hax, i mean actual mods like re-skins and upgraded textures, etc. People, PC gaming cant be topped. Its that simple.
