Rumor: New “Erebus” platform found in Unreal Engine 4 [Update: Or not - Read OP]
- Thread starter Raylan
- Start date
Good find, the similarity between NVN and FNVN is indeed suspicious. Yuriy O'Donnell, the programmer mentioned here, also has "Nintendo Switch" listed among his skills on his Linkedin profile besides PS4 and Xbox One. But there aren't really any comments about Switch on his Twitter from what I have seen, he seems to be more interested in bleeding edge stuff like raytracing and stuff like that. But then again that's probably to be expected for someone working in this industry.
Could this possibly be related to Nintendo's new online platform? It appears that a few months ago, UE4 didn't have online support for Nintendo Switch:

...and going by their Epic's release notes, this doesn't seem to have changed yet:

yes i know But some here think it's 2019 release
that was One Game, sony now have 4 so it's a different situation with so many 3P games coming they need to think about it
The last two situations you mention there aren't true by that boolean. It's basically true if PS4 is found in combination with either of those two other consoles - and crossplay is only allowed if that boolean is false.
Code:
const bool bCrossConsoleAllowed = (!bPS4SeenOtherConsole) || (bPS4SeenOtherConsole && !bRestrictCrossConsole);That is to say, bCrossConsoleAllowed is true only if you don't have a combination of PS4 with one of the other two (or if the bRestrictCrossConsole is false).
The commit messages around Erebus make it sound like a piece of hardware they were optimising things for, rather than an online service. Talking about savings of x milliseconds on Erebus when doing this or that with GPU stuff. So I don't think it's just an online service.
Maybe it's possible Erebus is just another ue4 code name for Switch and they just started using that and didn't bother updating other variable/const names. But that's not a very exciting line of speculation... ;)
what are those games? TLOU2 - Death Stranding - Ghost of Tsushima and ?
TBH i think TLOU and DS will go cross gen ...
The preceding F is just part of their naming convention so yeah.
All they need is a PS5 patch.
2019 is happening... see you in the announcement thread in Feb guys
Yeah i have the same feeling that they will start giving hints and then, a full reveal happens by the end of their E3 press conference.
Although i'm not a huge fan of the "let's start the next gen sooner" but i really hope that they put a full back compat ability inside PS5. i spent a lot of money on digital games in ps4 era, it would be a shame to lose them after buying the new console ...
Sorry, no, Scarlett. Which is I guess a little better.
EDIT: Huh, Scarlett with two ts, so not the red cloth stuff, but like the Lost in Translation actress... Sold.
Yeah. I think the only thing I'd say for 'definite' based on this stuff is that it's not Sony.
Could be Nintendo (a Switch Pro or other new piece of hardware). Could be MS even - but I'd cast a little doubt on that based on the (F)NVN nomenclature, since presumably MS would use their own DX based API rather than a nVidia one. (Maybe at an early stage, though, it might use nvidia apis or extensions?) Could be someone else entirely, some other new nVidia licensee.

I didn't look at the code, but I think you statement is equivalent to his.
This variable set to try means the party Ps4 is entering has another console that is not ps4 and thus its true state means cross play is blocked.
Could this not be the chinese version of the shield tv i mean its using its own os (designed by nvidia themselves) from the rest of the world so it can be considered its own platform and tencent is launching Fortnite in China. (So TST could stand for tencent shield tv) But thats just my theory.
i'm kinda ready for PS5. i just really really hope it has backwards compatibility. i mean if they released a PS5 today i'd buy it but it'd be cool if at the same time i could ditch my PS4 and keep playing games like Persona 5 or Bloodborne. If I can't play them on PS5 then i'm keeping the PS4.
ps5 wont be here till late 2020 and the Switch pro forget it. Switch is far too established now for Nintendo to start messing around with platforms and there teams again.
Dream on all you dreamers!

Microsoft would never use Nvidia's API. The entire point of Xbox is to push Microsoft's API. It doesn't make sense that Nvidia or Nintendo would use NVN for a platform that isn't Switch, I mean the games would basically run on that system, I hardly expect you to be able to run a Switch rom (without encryption) on a new xbox. That's a Switch variant.
Why would nvidia shield tv have a different setting and run the same API as Switch? That should allow it to play decrypted Switch roms.

Trails of Cold Steel 1-4 PS5 collection confirmed.
My thoughts exactly.
I remember to Read another nickname to Google console, in something similar to this (name in software) i think in a video Codec maybe Blink.
Erebus was but a pawn in a larger scheme perpetrated by the gods of chaos.
Iwata on NX: "Like brothers in a family of systems"
Nintendo's new CEO, Tatsumi Kimishima, said, "The basic direction and strategy won't change. ... I will continue along the path set by President Iwata."

- 0100000000000824 provides configuration for the new "T214" SoC.
I'm still on Team PS5 Prototype because I'm unaware of other companies using that naming scheme for their in-development hardware except Sony.
I think it's too soon for a switch revision that would have its own code name.

Yeah. The fact that the code is restricting PS4 players from partying with Xbox or 'Erebus' players, but has no mention of the Switch (yet we know that PS4 and Switch players can't party together), makes me think this might be the case.

That rumor didnt really mean anything.
MS does its own chip customization in house, similar to what Apple does. They just pass along what they do to AMD and AMD puts it together. In fact there is a rumor that the scarlett streaming device will have its own custom chip in there developed by MS. Dont know if its ARM based or AMD though. But thats still a pretty big deal.
days gone as well
but stilk will not release a next gen before release all of the games
So 2020 is expected before it might happen but unlikly
