Content

The new Direct is here and it's my pleasure to share it with Supporters ahead of time. However, I must ask that the content is not shared or clipped until public release.

Onto the blurb: PSSR on PS5 Pro: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - what's actually going on? Rich, Oliver and Alex discuss, before moving on to a look at Silent Hill 2's latest Pro update... which removes PSSR in its performance mode. Rich has some interesting findings from Assassin's Creed Syndicate's new 60 frames per second upgrade, along with a look at the latest iteration of PlayStation Portal - including direct cloud streaming support. And Oliver has some favourable impressions from the unexpected but rather cool Pro upgrade for The Callisto Protocol.

And yes, there is a supporter-only link for early access to DF Direct Weekly. Please ignore any Patreon links elsewhere and head over here for your pleasure and satisfaction: https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/593963
