DF Direct Weekly once again returns – and you know the score: a triumvirate of Digital Foundry team members sit down to discuss the major news events of the week, to share insights on their current projects and what’s going on in the DF Supporter Program, finishing up by taking a look at a bunch of submitted questions from our backers. And this time there’s a slight twist, in that news of the PS5 firmware beta that adds NVMe SSD support broke cover just as we were concluding our filming session last Thursday. Want to see the Direct sooner? Well, supporters get to watch it on Saturday every week without fail.
In this week’s show, the team share their impressions of Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series consoles, with Alex Battaglia revealing some of his behind-the-scene thoughts on our recent Asobo Studio Flight Simulator interview – and there are some frankly amazing anecdotes and observations in that if you’ve not watched it yet. In addition to last week’s coverage, we’ve since received PC-equivalent settings from Asobo and we discuss those in the Direct too. John walks us through his reactions to The Ascent, while the team share their thoughts on the recent reveal of the Radeon RX 6600 XT – note that I mention a $349 price-point in there, but it’s actually $379… a situation that has not gone down well online.
Beyond that, we talk about our recent DF Retro content – including the Super Star Wars Trilogy video that went live yesterday, the new F-Zero mega episode currently exclusive on the Supporter Program, plus a DF Retro Play taking a look at more N64 futuristic racers, captured via the N64 Digital hardware mod. We’re extremely proud of our retro videos right now, content that simply wouldn’t be possible without backer support.
