Welcome to the 133rd edition of DF Direct Weekly, where Alex, Rich and John discuss the big news stories of the week - including confirmation that the PS5 'Slim' is real but not slim and Redfall getting a 60fps upgrade - but is it too late? Meanwhile, John raves out Super Mario Bros Wonder and Robocop Rogue City, and the team gets to grips on whether Sony could ever roll out their own FPS Boost program.

More cool finds like this, preferably with a little historical context to go along with it, would be most welcome follow-ups to the "News" section.

6:30 Sony confirmed there is an internal drive support still "Thankfully, as IGN reports, Sony confirmed it managed to retain the option to upgrade the available internal storage in the new design. At the same time, the amount of storage the PS5 Slim ships with has been increased from the 825GB found in the original consoles to 1TB. With that change, it means you could potentially upgrade the smaller console to have a maximum of 9TB of storage space available."

@@Chasm9 I remember having a great time on a 6800 GT OC'ed to around Ultra levels. That being said back then I wasn't as demanding when it comes to the framerate and was probably playing at 1024*768 or so without AA (it didn't do much against shimmering and crawling anyways...)... 🤪

@@Gaboou yeah, back when AA cost 10-50% of performance. But that's MSAA. I actually googled the bench results and it really was like that - CoR EfBB was crazy demanding game. When 7800 GTX in Doom 3 got 110+ fps, in CoR it barely got 60 fps in 1280x1024 maxed out. The results show that 2x of them in SLI were necessary if you wanted to play with everything tweaked to the max. 😅 It was in the category with Quake 4 and F.E.A.R, Far Cry as one of the most demanding games of 2004-2005.

So glad John mentioned The Warriors. It's something of a hidden gem of its time. The gameplay is absolutely brilliant and it combines that sort of open-world idea from the GTAs of the time with a solid 3D beat'em up style of gameplay. The story itself is super well-done. It serves as both a prequel and an adaptation of the movie, as the story starts quite some time before the start of the movie's events and even shows how the Warriors gang started and such. It eventually catches up to the movie's events and you get to play through all that crazy running from all the gangs of NYC through the night. It had a free battle mode that was pure chaos and hilarity (especially the levels that took place on rooftops!) and also a secret side-scroller mode that was quite funny (if a bit difficult).

The thing with ReBAR on/off is that it is doing more than just that. From what I understand, it also moves parts of the memory management from the GPU driver to WDDM. And in many cases Nvidia's "legacy code" is simply faster than the one in the windows video memory manager. In the future with WDDM/DX12U getting additional features that only work with ReBAR activated, this will probably change.

Count me in for the “super hyped for RoboCop: Rogue City” club. Poor Robo hasn’t had a good game in 30 years and since the first RoboCop is my favorite film, I’m super excited for the game. I’ve got it pre-ordered for my PS5. The Devs did say on Twitter that they focused on the PC demo because of a Steam event that was happening around that time and that they could either do a console demo, or they could tighten up the game and continue to work on bug fixes before release. Personally, I’m glad they made the latter choice. I was going to get the game regardless, and the better it is before release, the happier I’ll be.

Very much have my eye on Wonder and finally I can blow dust off my Switch as was underwhelmed by Tears Of The Kingdom. Currently,really enjoying Lords Of The Fallen. It's running well for me and looks outstanding, especially the amount of environmental detail and texture work..but the game feels great to play.. I did hear Alex use a 4080/4090 comparison in terms of why buy the 80 when you get the full deal for a few pounds more.. When I got my 4080 it was £1000, the 4090 was £1800 and I would need to get a higher wattage Power Supply. Close to £2000 Vs £1000...and to be fair, the 4080 has been amazing for me.

I would love to see the Tony Hawks 3&4 remaster get made. They already had an amazing engine with the 1&2 remasters. We could probably see results in 2-3 years if Microsoft found the Vicarious Visions team and extracted them from Blizzard. That could also end in the Tony Hawks Underground 1&2 remasters and then once they’ve had experience porting all the good games, they could possibly make a reboot of the series.

The diskrive looks quite nice on the Launch version and it's later iterations. However on the Slim model it looks very out of place.

Is a 30 percent reduction in size and approximately 20 percent reduction in weight not slim? That's a similar reduction to the PS3 slim. Of course it's still a big boy, but a less big boy.

RTX 3080, 5800x3D at 3440x1440p ran Robocop fine with DLSS on quality game maxed out. I think the bar hit 55fps so I turned down something things to high and was 70+ everywhere afterwards. Only thing I really noticed was all the noise which did tbh do my head in, in some areas. Enjoyed my time on the demo though, might have to pick it up.

As a multiplatform player, this is how I prioritize what platform I buy a game on: • Xbox is my default. • PC I use for any exclusive it gets that I like, as well as for 3rd party games Sony blocked from Microsoft. (And also for my most favorite games that I want to just play again as well.) • PlayStation is for Sony exclusives. • And Nintendo Switch is for, primarily, PlatinumGames Bayonetta 1&2 and Astral Chain.

There seems to be major discrepancies in the pricing of technology between regions nowadays, much more than 5-10 yrs ago. Comparing the US, UK, and EU pricing for the new PS5 models and disc drives is really confusing and reminds me of Apple’s more recent pricing differences between regions. Even when you consider sales tax it feels like certain regions get a significantly better deal on certain products. Price differences are becoming increasingly inconsistent.

Yup! They confirmed this on the Patreon. They didn't want to release both on the same day, and the [subscribe-to-find-out] specs video isn't quite done yet, so it works really nicely to release it today.
