Another gigantic edition of DF Direct Weekly sees Rich, Alex and John tackle the PlayStation Handheld rumours (no, it won't run native PS5 games), problems with Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora's PS5 Pro patch, updates to Star Wars Outlaws and the outrageously 'familiar' Light of Motiram - featuring the four horsemen of the gaming apocalypse. Rich and Alex have high hopes for Intel's B580 GPU, while John has much to say about Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary and the recently released Dynasty Warriors Origins demo.

I found this odd also regarding Wukong (2:04:29)

Why do all their title pictures look like this:

You mean that they think that it's bad on PS5?

It is, frame generation from 30 to 60fps is 100% retarded idea.

Just that people were oblivious thinking the game ran perfectly fine when it didn't.

" There's just one problem: the Pro version looks a lot worse than the standard console's quality mode and even its performance mode has some quality advantages over the Pro version"

what?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Didn't even know avatar was getting a pro patch

But from the sounds of this it didn't

Yeah people.. can be like that.

I personally have met people that were sure that their 30fps console games were 60fps (or just couldn't tell the difference) or "hardcore pc gamers" that for years used their 144Hz monitors in 60Hz mode...

Most folks are clueless.

The PSSR onslaught continues.

 

[bundylove]

Oh my alex says word to word everything i wrote here about pssr......

The moral of the story is you never doubt bundy.
What bundy says is what people will say weeks later.
I just show them the way

 

[DenchDeckard]

This console is wild. It shouldn't be what feels like a 50/50 split on games that look and run awesome and others that arguably are worse than the standard ps5.

I just can't believe it tbh.

 

[Magic Carpet]

The oposite of a patch? A hole?
