Content

Hello! It's Wednesday. Whoops, I think I was meant to do something on Monday. Ah, yes, I was meant to share the latest updates from our weekly #content meeting. Better late than never, I suppose?

Alex is working on an optimised settings video and PC review of the gorgeous Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

Oliver is investigating the PS5 and PS5 Pro VRR issue, with multiple users reporting stuttering with VRR enabled in some games... most interesting.

Tom is finishing up work on his video on how Rebellion's Lake District survival-adventure game Atomfall fares on current-gen consoles (and a little bit on PC) - and moving onto his next project, South of Midnight.

John is back from GDC and back to work on Xenoblade Chronicles X - and an upcoming title.

Rich is continuing to prepare for the eventual arrival of Switch 2 and rumoured RTX 5060-series GPUs and working on his Strix Point AyaNeo 3 coverage, whilst spinning a huge number of other plates.

Will (ie me) is questing for deals amongst the latest made-up Amazon sale and finally writing up the RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim testing done a little while back, on top of the usual adapting video scripts into Eurogamer articles and updating our PC gear recommendations. He also wrote an F1 countdown site / Chrome extension, if there are any F1 nerds among us!

So that's a vague guide to what we're onto this week! As usual, we welcome your suggestions for topics that we ought to cover in a full video or a DF Direct segment, with proviso that we're all pretty busy as always and inevitably there will be some things that we just can't cover. Still, it's always handy to know what you're thinking about, so give us both barrels in the comments below!

“Will (i.e me)” threw me for a loop. Has there been a coup?

goregutz

RTX 60 series? Some secret inside info?

digitalfoundry

Hey, sometimes as a deputy editor, you have to deputise. I'd never try to overthrow our glorious leader!

Iuri Grangeiro

What happened with the full coverage of the new upscalers (fsr 4 and dlss transformer)? I feel like that would be probably one of the most important comparisons for understanding the new generation cards (way more than perf comparisons imo) and it seems to have just vanished?

Nando Calrissian

Those are pro cards. And not PS5 Pro kind of pro. 8K kind of pro. And not 8k pixel. 8k dollars!

The Control HDR + Ultra Ray tracing patch would be most interesting.

BespokeEP

I don’t think there’s enough games that have FSR 4 support yet to really do an in-depth comparison.

Iuri Grangeiro

Isn't there over 30 games? I think that should be enough

BespokeEP

…Will (ie me) is giving himself a raise and taking an extra week long vacation 😎

digitalfoundry

It's still planned! Alex normally prioritises game releases (eg AC, TLOUP2, etc) so these sorts of videos necessarily have to come after the game videos are finished. Thanks for your patience :)

BespokeEP

I think Goregutz thought you meant info on the RTX 6090, 6080… etc. not the 5060. The next 4 generations of Nvidia cards is going to be rather confusing I think

Snorlax cat

so Nvidia is skipping 6 series and 5 series

Max Fletcher

Looking forward to seeing xenoblade chronicles x compared with switch and WiiU

We are in the RTX 50-series, I think what Rich was implying are the rumors about the GeForce RTX 5060 series (5060 Ti, 5060) that will release in April.

Cass Miller

I have no idea what the VRR stuttering issues are about, and I do not have a VRR display myself, but I do want to mention the strangest thing my own PS5 has been doing. This just started about a week ago, so before the latest PS5 update that released just yesterday (maybe that fixed it, I haven't checked yet). But what mine started doing out of the blue is this: each time I turn it on now, either from Rest Mode or fully Off, my TV says that it has detected a new device connected to HDMI input 3. My TV has not updated its software recently, and to eliminate the obvious question, no I have not reconnected anything or rearranged my HDM inputs lol. I have had the same TCL 6-series 4K Roku TV for about 5 years, and the same PS5 since launch day in 2020, all connected the same way with the same HDMI cord since then.

Cass Miller

My best guess, for whatever reason, is it seems the PS5 is doing the HDMI handshake every time it turns on now, instead of just once when first connected to a new HDMI input. That is why I mentioned this at all - in case perhaps this weird handshaking issue is causing VRR problems as well.

digitalfoundry

Yup, that's correct. Have amended the wording to clarify :)

Snorlax cat

ups! I was joking about the 50 series paper launch and the 60 series pro launch! but that seems better!

Perfect_Organism

Idk if this idea could go anywhere but I’d be real curious about a “too big for PS4” series. Just watching Tom’s Atomfall video, and I’d love to see what a PS4 version looks like.

Someguyperson

Nice job on the F1 countdown timer Will! Do you think you could also make it a Firefox extension? I have abandoned Chrome after they finally killed support for real adblock support. It really shows just how scummy the whole internet has gotten.

Michael Pearn

The Minecraft team announced the new "vibrant visuals" which looks suspiciously like a reworked RTX (ray tracing) mod. Their blog post however does not mention ray tracing at all and said they would announce which platforms support it in the future. Any chance the team could take a look at the screens shots or do we wait for video to be released?

Simplex

Alex, could you please ask Ubi devs to add option to remove 30fps lock from cutscenes? Outlaws had it, why did they regress? (yes, I know it's not the same dev, but both are ubisoft).

Cass Miller

Replying to my own comment here lol. So again, my weird HDMI issue started like 7-10 days ago, and I had done nothing different to cause it. There was a new PS5 update that released a couple days ago, v25.02-11.00.00 (why Sony). Well, lo and behold, my problem has gone away. To be clear, I didn't try re-plugging in anything, changing HDMI inputs around, nothing. The update came and installed during Rest Mode operation, and now when I turn on my PS5, my TV no longer says it has detected a new device connected to its input. I have no idea, but thanks I guess Sony!
