Though, I'd say that's unlikely. I bet the difference will involve graphics only.

Me too. In fact, I think the biggest difference will be on draw distance. Considering how big Bungie is announcing Destiny will be, that will be a major difference.

Yeah the difference between 512MB of RAM and 5-8GB of RAM is pretty amazing, especially for something like draw distance. (Heck, according to Umbra, Bungie gave them less than a meg to do occlusion on current gen systems, so they are definitely doing CRAZY amounts of optimization)

Fun fact:

The first two crash bandicoot games for the Playstation 1 (which had 2MB of RAM) had draw distances of only a couple hundred meters. Crash 3, which also came out for the playstation, increased that to about 6 kilometers.

So like, with 8GB of RAM the draw distance could be 24000 kilometers using Naughty Dog technology circa 1998 :-p Bet they want Max back now!
