too bad that memory problem isnt as much a problem as this idiot thinks, the ps3 isnt dependent on memory, its all about teraflops and floating point, that is why ps3 is supercomputer, and thats why its able to make realtime movies, and that theory of memory will continue to be shattered even past killzone, rsx memory doesnt equal rsxs performance, the thing was made to synthesize hollywood movie graphics, that still wont be realised for a while, this rsx even is nowhere near maxed out, this carmack wants to get pc and 180 fans excited, for nothing, but good try

He is saying almost the exact opposite of so many other developers on the PS3

Are you a good programmer? Are you a programmer at all, so you can say (stupid) things like this? You call him an idiot, and he is one of the legends in computer programming, one of the best out there since the original Doom in 1993.

"the ps3 isnt dependent on memory, its all about teraflops and floating point..." - You obviously don't have clue what you're talking about, and you call him an idiot... Really sad.

Yes, we'd believe a genius like John rather than take the word of someone on a forum.

Why do Sony fans disagree that I would like to play it on the system that I play? I made no comment about me not wanting doom or quake on ps3. People can be so ignorant and stupid these days. You disagree that read: I, want to play these games on MY 360? Don't disagree about peoples own PERSONAL opinions. No flame was intended on what I said.

Edit: I was considering getting a ps3 but do I really want to become one of these Sony fanboys who doesn't take time to read?

The natural reaction for a Sony fan is to disagree and remove bubbles before reading.

Didn't you just read what huntersville said? Why quote an idiot like Carmack who don't know what his talking about...

Beep! /SARCASM OFF/ ;)

EDIT:

I really was sarcastic. I think Carmack is a great programmer and game developer, and I respect everything he says since he's certainly better programmer then me, or probably 99% of the people here.

the ps3 was built without rsx at first, or did you not know that, that is because the cell is a supercomputer on a chip, built by sony, toshiba, and ibm, and had a gigantic budget, sony wanted to bring the same graphics in their movies to their gaming machine, that is why they put the same chips used to make their movies in the ps3, that is why movie ingame graphics are easily possible, even in the first 7 months of ps3s lifecycle, and with small budgets, you seem to forget e3 2005, and pc fans keep flooding your mind with the "sony lied" line over and over again, thats why you think the ps3 cant do but so much, when really it has no end, and friend rsx is a more powerfull, much more powerfull gpu than pc, and xbox fans say it to be, the gpu was a planned project to be able to make the most powerful gpu in the world, but some believe it to be surpassed already, just because the memory of newer gpus have come out, unfortunately the people that believe that leave one thing blank in that assumption, and that is the fact of rsx's ability to synthesize hollywood level movie graphics in real time, you didnt hear in e3 05, rsx wont be even near tapped into till some many years down the road, about all games currently shown on ps3 are rendered alone with rsx, as a matter o fact, all of them have been rendered by rsx, even killzone, cell and rsx when used, i assure you movie graphics will come to your gaming machine in a force greater than on the movie screen, think crysis is so great looking? it is, but i cant find it in me with all honesty, and my hand to the bible that crysis looks better than killzone and a handfull of other ps3 games, but even if crysis did look better than killzone, the budget on crysis is way bigger, and has a more developed engine, killzones engine is brand new, both of them and yet look like ingame realtime cg, the animations are off the scale, and the amount of things going on on screen is incomprehensible, and the game runs smoothly, and is not close to being done with development, yet crysis has been pushed back time after time, and recently pushed back because of the infamous killzone demonstration, so this is why many of your "RAM" debates and assumptions are highly off, sony didnt release such a horrible mistake, they are japanese, and they are movie makers, the ps3 was the plan to remove the barrier of cg from realtime, and they did it, think these developers know more about the ps3 than sony if you will, but sony will keep making these jackazzes look even more dumb than in e3 this year, and remember its only 7 or 8 months, not a year, more is to come in this endless machine:

take a look at this, pcs fans dont seem to remember it, and they all of a sudden believe their beloved pcs are superior to supercomputer, ha what a joke, sony keeps proving that graphics and the power of their machine is not a lie, but many fall deeper into fairy land and follow along with you pc fans, but when pc games look near this, or anything currently on ps3, then they are superior, and then "RAM" is a factor, check this, then youll see all that i say is fact, not fiction, go take a look

I'm only connecting the dots with what carmack said...

look, he said that the ps3 will RUN OUT OF MEMORY when the 360 can still handle it...

how do you explain that? split memory ftl...the video ram of the ps3 is limited to 256 mb....not that it's bad, graphic cards are fine these days with 256 mb, but it's just not as flexible as the 360's 512 mb use it anyway you want...

RSX is essentially overclocked GeForce 7800GTX. In terms of processing power, it's behind 7900GTX, and faaaar behind, for example, 8800GTX (not to mention various SLI combinations).
