Blog by Richard Leadbetter Technology Editor, Digital Foundry Updated on 19 Apr 2021 1 comment DF Direct Weekly is back once again - inevitably perhaps, given the name. This is the weekly discussion show where the Digital Foundry team down tools for a couple of hours and talk shop, sharing some of the behind the scenes stories on the content they've been working on and taking on a outsized raft of always-awesome questions from Patreon supporters. This week, the team mull over the big rumours surrounding Sony, specifically discussing the mooted remake of The Last of Us, the apparently dead-in-the-water Days Gone 2 and the platform holder's general approach to its first-party line-up. After that, the chat moves on to the recently revealed trailer for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition - the remastered rendition of the classic trilogy coming soon. Also taking up a good chunk of our air time are the most interesting stories from Nvidia's GTC event. GTC is more of a trade/professional kind of thing as opposed to anything consumer-facing, but it's often the showcase for technologies to come in the gaming space, and there have certainly been some interesting presentations from game-makers this year. Watch on YouTube It's the latest DF Direct Weekly, this time with Rich Leadbetter, John Linneman and Alex Battaglia in attendance to discuss the week's news and to take on user Q+A. As for supporter Q+A, the team tackle a range of topics, kicking off with the games that made the most impact on them across the years, exactly when we should expect to see ray tracing hardware become an essential requirement for gaming, along with the importance of Japanese titles in the market - and to the success of Sony's new console in particular. Beyond that, what are the big technological advances we expect to see this generation? Quite a lot of the discussion actually kicks off in the Digital Foundry Discord available to all Patreon supporters - and we're busy growing a positive and engaging community there. Think about joining us to get involved and to regularly talk directly to the team and to share news and ideas - I highly recommend it. Will you support the Digital Foundry team? Digital Foundry specialises in technical analysis of gaming hardware and software, using state-of-the-art capture systems and bespoke software to show you how well games and hardware run, visualising precisely what they're capable of. In order to show you what 4K gaming actually looks like we needed to build our own platform to supply high quality 4K video for offline viewing. So we did. Our videos are multi-gigabyte files and we've chosen a high quality provider to ensure fast downloads. However, that bandwidth isn't free and so we charge a small monthly subscription fee of £4.50. We think it's a small price to pay for unlimited access to top-tier quality encodes of our content. Thank you.
