PS4 like "the world’s best PC", says Epic boss

4.4
Epic Games vice president Mark Rein seems fairly enamoured with the PlayStation 4, going as far as describing it as a “really perfect gaming PC”.

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.”

XxShughesxX Obviously this idiot has no idea the capabilities of a PC, hell if you know your **** well enough you can build a PC that doubles the specs of the PS4 with the same cost of what the PS3 launched at. He should probably make a statement taking back his comment, might save his reputation.


Agreed. What an idiot.

World's best PC is a console? How can anyone possibly say that with a straight face?

Ero I have a 3TB hard drive and 32GB of ram. I get 250+ FPS. Console i wish the best for you to over come 4GB of ram


Ram deals very little towards your fps mate...


try to overcome 4GB of RAM? They already have. It's confirmed there is 8GB of RAM in the console. Stupid f*ck, don't say anything you don't know nothing about. PS4 will beat the new Sh*tbox.
