Description

In this week's DF Direct Weekly, the team discuss EA's announcement of a last-gen version of Star Wars Jedi Survivor, wondering how this new development fits in with the fact that the current-gen versions still need work. Meanwhile, an amazing-looking path-traced version of Skyrim is trailered - and the RT upgrade could work on all DX9+ games. John shares his thoughts on PS5's beta firmware Dolby Atmos support, while Rich reveals the results of a new PS5 exploit - showing Gravity Rush PS4 Pro running at 60fps for the first game. Finally, news of The Last Hope's departure from the Switch eShop causes all manner of amusement. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:56 News 01: Jedi: Survivor coming to last-gen consoles 00:21:17 News 02: Skyrim modded with path-traced lighting 00:29:29 News 03: PS5 exploit allows modded PS4 games to run 00:39:58 News 04: Beta PS5 firmware features Dolby Atmos support 00:48:36 News 05: Switch 2 to launch in 2H 2024? 00:56:57 News 06: The Last Hope removed from Nintendo eShop 01:05:28 Supporter Q1: Doesn’t targeting 8K with a hypothetical PS5 Pro benefit 4K displays through downsampling? 01:10:49 Supporter Q2: What could the PS5 Pro’s rumoured AI acceleration enhancements mean? 01:18:12 Supporter Q3: Mark Cerny suggested that the PS5 could load in high quality assets as the player moved the camera viewport.
