Call For Questions For DF Direct Weekly #188 (Patreon)

Hi there everyone, first of all - some news. The PS5 Pro console review is now available for download on digitalfoundry.net. We received the hardware last Thursday and then had just five working days to put something together. We aimed high - too high perhaps - and mistakes were made. A version of the video went live for a few moments with material that had a separate embargo, so we had to pull that version, re-export another one and get that up ASAP. At that point, we could encode the download versions. All told, a highly stressful day, but I've taken a look at some of the other Pro reviews out there and I think pushing hard probably turned out for the best in the end. Still, let's move on!

DF Direct Weekly #188 is now in the planning phase and we will record tomorrow. We may discuss the Pro review reactions, we'll definitely be talking about Nintendo's confirmation of Switch 2 back compat and we'll also be talking about the embargoed stuff we couldn't talk about in the Pro review. Also, as I write this, Death Stranding has been released for Xbox consoles (!) for £18 no less (!!)

We're still getting topics together so we may well be commenting on the PS5 Pro teardown video that emerged earlier - but really, we're game for anything in the world of gaming technology news, so please feel to suggest Direct topics and of course, to put forward any questions you have. Please try to make them short - the Q&A format isn't good for multi-paragraph essays!

We're still figuring out the panel, but chances are Alex and I will be there. Cut-off for questions is 8am GMT Friday morning.
