Hello there and welcome to the new Direct. As usual, please no leaking of early access material. This #content goes live on Monday, Dec 23rd at 16:00 GMT.

With an official announcement for Nintendo Switch 2 due in the next month or so, it's perhaps no surprise to see the leaks coming in thick and fast - but how believable are they? Meanwhile, Oliver gets to grips with the latest patch for Alan Wake 2 on PS5 Pro - is there genuine improvement? Rich tries to piece together the latest RTX 50-series rumours into something coherently plausible, while John examines the latest Switch IP-abusing shovelware: the mighty Monkey Kong in New-York.

The Awards. GT7 was only left in because of the amount of votes it received. How the voting worked. Voters rank candidates in their preferred order Add up everyone’s top preference and check if they received more than 50% of the votes If yes, then they are declared the winner If no, then take the candidate(s) with the lowest votes and eliminate them Do another round of voting (called instant runoff). Voters who previously voted for an eliminated candidate will have their next preference counted Repeat until a candidate passes the 50% threshold.

Thank you everyone who voted and helped with the process! We look forward to doing this again next year!

@John - you can use "Joy-Con Toolkit" on a PC to edit the colour values in joycons to appear correctly to the switch. Very useful for re-shelling etc!

Hey guys, there's a persistent very high pitched whine whenever john speaks. It's probably above the hearing range of some people but you can use a spectrogram to see it and cut it. It's probably unbearable for anyone bellow 20

On the last question (best of PS4) that topic would make for a great standalone video. There's so much great graphics from that gen and it's wild how well many of those games hold up.

Is a Black Myth Video still coming ?
