Yes but it could possibly store more data in RAM as opposed to trying to read it off of the HDD or Blu-ray, which are much, much slower than RAM. Besides, who knows what they have planned for the consoles.

They are gaming machines to us but if you ask them, they are multimedia machines

In reading that though, (10 GB of RAM ins't too much but not necessary), but 10 GB of video RAM isn't going to happen. Perhaps 1 or 2 but not 10.

Another thing that will not happen, is the backwards compatibility .. they won't even do that now.

Even in a "multimedia" machine 10GBs is a lot of RAM. They better have some big fucking plans in store with that much. It will be waste otherwise.

Picked up the metal gear solid collection and currently downloading the first game. It's time to take a trip down memory lane.

Started playing FEAR 3's co-op with a buddy, it's pretty fun.

Well, fuck you very much.

I've been playing some Fallout 3, and I have to say it's disappointing how many side quests (almost all of them) have you go through pitch black endless subway tunnels or slightly less pitch black endless factories. Maybe the first couple times I played it it still had some sort of creepy atmosphere effect that kept it from going stale, but this time it's really taking away from the experience.

At this point I can say with some confidence that I really enjoy New Vegas more than 3, especially now that it isn't broken.

I agree with liking NV better than 3. They never fixed the memory leak issue on PS3 though, and I'll end up getting the Ultimate Edition on Steam when it hits $10.

You haven't even un-wrapped it yet, let me know when you wanna play

When I'm playing BF3 on my current lower end gaming machine it generally is using around 2.5 to 3 gigs of memory. I only have 4GB.

Hell Diablo 3 was pushing 2gigs the other day when I had to do a Ctrl Alt Del to close an app running. 10gigs in even 2 years is going to be fairly standard.

Just Cause 3 coming in the near future?

Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios says that it's working on a new open-world game with publisher Square Enix.

Eurogamer reports the developer revealed that it is preparing a "ground breaking" open-world title for Square Enix, and that it is also beginning work on multiple current- and next-gen projects for release in both 2013 and 2014.

Avalanche has not officially announced Just Cause 3, although it has registered various domain names for Just Cause 4.

Just Cause 2 is an amazing game that I have neglected for far too long.

I don't know if this is related much to Dead Space 3. So I'll just post this here for now.

I got about halfway through Dead Space one enjoying it fairly well then I kind of just stopped and never went back to it. Mass Effect was the same thing and I don't know why.

College Lacrosse 2012 is out on XBox Live!! Still an absolutely terrible game, but I still bought it.

You should go back and play it, and you might want to get Dead Space 2 when it goes on sale.
