    Switch 2 Ray Tracing - Finally! Hollow Knight: Silksong, 007 First Light!

    In the latest DF Direct, we finally get some idea of Switch 2's ray tracing capabilities via Star Wars Outlaws - and the team likes what they see. Meanwhile, details emerge of just how much slower Switch 2 carts are compared to internal storage and MicroSD Express - and it's a touch concerning. A reported storage downgrade for PlayStation 5 isn't exactly great news, and neither is the final death of Perfect Dark - but 007 First Night and Hollow Knight: Silksong have much to commend them. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:06 News 1: Star Wars Outlaws impresses on Switch 2! 0:23:58 News 2: Switch 2 carts are too slow for Star Wars Outlaws 0:34:43 News 3: Report: PS5 Digital to get storage downgrade 0:44:19 News 4: 007 First Light gameplay debuts 1:00:10 News 5: Take-Two fails to buy Perfect Dark 1:06:58 News 6: Hollow Knight: Silksong packs good PC tech 1:13:02 Supporter Q1: Has YouTube changed its video algorithms? 1:23:51 Supporter Q2: What’s up with HDR support in recent games? 1:30:16 Supporter Q3: Is software quality the real bottleneck for good performance? 1:38:52 Supporter Q4: Could Prey 2 get a Nightdive revival? 1:45:06 Supporter Q5: Why does Battlefield 6 scale oddly with higher core count CPUs? 1:50:41 Supporter Q6: Could DF hold an anniversary special to commemorate independence?

Beyond that, there's more Gamescom reaction, plus thoughts on Kirby Air Riders. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:13 News 1: Elden Ring and FF7 Rebirth showcased on Switch 2! 0:11:11 News 2: Microsoft preps shader comp fix for Windows 0:27:21 News 3: Valve “Fremont” console-like device leaks 0:36:49 News 4: Upcoming Capcom titles tested on PS5 Pro 0:49:26 News 5: Gamescom Opening Night Live impressions 1:00:02 News 6: Kirby Air Riders Direct reaction! 1:05:02 News 7: Gamescom hands-on impressions 1:20:30 Supporter Q1: What needs to happen to improve UE5 performance? 1:28:49 Supporter Q2: Should reviewers more heavily critique technical issues in games? 1:32:21 Supporter Q3: Should Microsoft have created a more console-focused Xbox handheld? 1:36:28 Supporter Q4: What are some great games to show off surround sound? 1:42:10 Supporter Q5: Bubsy 4D = GOTY?

    Battlefield 6 PC is Superb, Drag x Drive Switch 2, RTX 4090 Handheld!

    In the calm before the storm of Gamescom 2025, gaming and technology news is thin on the ground - and there's some degree of disappointment beyond the brilliance of the Battlefield 6 open beta. Drag x Drive on Switch 2 underwhelms, AMD releases an RX 9060 that you can't buy - and isn't really that much different to the 9060 XT. Light relief comes in the form of a monstrous modded RTX 4090 "handheld", while OneXPlayer's 120W Strix Halo tablet does - admittedly - look quite intriguing. Meanwhile, what would it take to get Tekken 8 running on Switch 2? 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:50 News 1: Battlefield 6 tested on PC! 0:19:25 News 2: Drag x Drive launches on Switch 2 0:30:35 News 3: Tekken 8 director mulls Switch 2 release 0:38:56 News 4: RX 9060 non-XT benched 0:45:20 News 5: AMD discontinues 5700X3D, ending widespread X3D availability on AM4 0:54:57 News 6: New tablet integrates 120W Strix Halo 1:03:42 News 7: Modder crams RTX 4090 laptop GPU into PC handheld 1:11:37 Supporter Q1: How will next-gen Xbox systems pull PC gamers away from Nvidia? 1:18:45 Supporter Q2: If AI profits grow, could Nvidia stop producing gaming GPUs? 1:27:15 Supporter Q3: How will the Z1 Extreme be supported in the future? 1:33:47 Supporter Q4: What will a Steam Deck 2 look like? 1:38:52 Supporter Q5: What Switch 2 ports do you want to see? 1:47:58 Supporter Q6: Is a Series X or One X a better choice for Xbox 360 and Xbox One games?
