TheGwynbleidd Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) A resetera user has found a new supported platform in the latest update for UE4. The codename is erebus ( the greek god for darkness). Sony has used other greek gods names in the past (PSVR - project morpheus, PS4 - Orbis), and this hints that PS5 is just around the corner (I would say late 2019) so they would get a headstart on Microsoft's next XBOX. https://www.resetera.com/threads/ps5-and-next-xbox-launch-speculation-post-e3-2018.49214/page-95#post-12033612 Edited August 30, 2018 by TheGwynbleidd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SkyMason Posted August 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2018 Way too soon, 2020 is the earliest for next gen IMO. Interesting find, though. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMadeKnight Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Wow the members of resetera did something useful. I agree with @SkyMason definitely don't see a new PS until 2020. My bet is that it'll be revealed at E3 or PSX nexy year followed by a late 2020 release.

I don't see PS4 being anywhere near end of life cycle yet. Certainly I haven't heard a lot of complaints about the hardware aging from devs yet. I'm also not sure, given how much Sony has dominated this generation, that being first out of the gate is necessarily a benefit. Gives MS time to launch a better product.

TJ_Solo Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I fail to see the point of these kinds of leaks. Anyone with half a brain knows that a company has to spec and prototype their products before any potential release to consumers. Yay! Now we know a temporary codename. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazdavis11 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I've had the PS4 since launch but upgrade to a PRO when that first came out too, I'm no way ready for a PS5 yet, such a huge backlog still both on PS4 and PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidson2004 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Damn, I just got my PS4 PRO in April. If this turns out to be true, I’ll wait until they release the PS5 2TB PRO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property_Damage Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Consoles are due out about every 5 years or so last gen went a little bit longer because of the state the United states was currently in, a recession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangisuckatgamin Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm still shocked people are so excited for a PS5. I feel like PS4 has been sort of just "okay" so far. We've got some great stuff, yeah, but there's still so much more they could do. I myself won't be buying the ps5 til a year or two after it's released this time around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I'm just hoping with all the hype that I can pick up a Pro this fall on Black Friday. I've already tricked out the PS4, but would really like a Pro for the graphics. Then in five years I'll be ready for the PS5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowwindow7 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't know why people are so eagerly want the ps5 so bad too early, just don't freaking demand it so Sony won't gonna rush it out the door, a time will come when we finally gonna get our hands on a ps5 and just after a year and a couple of months you'll hear people online asking for a ps6 with 10K and 128FPS, you just wait and see.

Totally. I can't believe people are so eager to upgrade their entertainment hardware for a more optimal experience. It's almost like they're consumers or something.

Guest Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hopefully its not put together with such out dated hardware again like all previous consoles. I know theres an article out there somewhere were Sony talked about rethinking the life cycle of their consoles blah blah at least hinting still 2-3 yrs till PS5. Which sadden me a little but is what it is. Just hoping PS5 is more powerful than my 10 yr old PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as people are buying, they'll keep making them. If you want to get technical, fourth generation consoles lasted the longest, the neo geo aes was released in 1990 and was officially supported with software until 2004, with tech support ending in 2007 Besides, the ps3 was only 6 years old when the ps4 was announced and 7 years old when it came out, that's pretty average Edited August 30, 2018 by SnowxSakura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sadden me a little but is what it is. Just hoping PS5 is more powerful than my 10 yr old PC. I'm afraid that won't ever happen. To have consoles run with goodish PC hardware, would make them cost easily over a 1000 bucks per unit, which isn't a feasible price point for a company, if they actually want to sell consoles. PC and console gaming are two separate markets that both happen to crossover in the gaming department. Consoles are the comfort variant, that caters to people who want to essentially plug and play, without having to mess around with settings and drivers and all that stuff. PC is to have an optimized experience, hence why you get tons of options to fiddle around with. They'll probably try and improve the specs a bit, but I also see the next console generation being sold for 600-700 to balance out the investment. Even then I can almost guarantee that it won't come close to modern PC specs. All I'm hoping for at this point, is actually getting a minimum of 60 fps in every game as was promised when the original PS4 was promoted, and at least 1080p resolution for every game.

I'd like to preface my statement by saying that I'm not tech-spec/hardware-savvy, so this question is to further my understanding... If one game is able to run at 60fps and 1080p, then why can't all games do so? Because some games are able to do this, it seems that it's a matter of engine/programming efficiency on part of the devs rather than lack of power from the console. Or is it a combination? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowljrm Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Curious. I'm not ready to upgrade yet, but it'll be interesting to see where this goes. I'm thinking a tease in 2019 with a 2020 release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
