We?ve heard all about teraflops and lighting-fast SSDs, but it?s RAM that?s the most important improvement in future generations, according to Obsidian boss Feargus Urquhart.
In an interview with Games Industry (via Tech Raptor), Urquhart said that when it comes to creating RPGs, RAM is more important than anything else because it allows developers to add more content like NPCs and trees. While he acknowledges that all technological advancements are useful for games overall, Urquhart believes that RPGs are all about characters, stories, and world building, and that?s where RAM comes in.
