Aside from the monumental release of our brand new website, it was looking like a quiet week until the gigaton news that Grand Theft Auto 6 was delayed again quote-unquote dropped. The team discuss the implications in this week's Direct, before moving onto PS Portal cloud streaming impressions and the AMD marketing debacle that is the RDNA 1/2 driver situation. Silent Hill 2 is all but certain to arrive on Xbox, but what about Switch 2? Plus: kudos to Nintendo as it looks almost certain now that Switch 2 is the biggest console launch of all-time... within a three-month launch window at least!

Is there a feed for the DF Retro podcast yet? And as good as the classic podcast lineup is how about some more Tom? Poor guy rarely gets a look in!

I hope to see Rockstar go full beans on optimisation for the Professional PlayStation 5.

Idk if “full beans” is a new term or not but I’m gonna use it for everything. I love it.

You forgot to mention the people who got fired by Rockstar before the delay announcement. It's going by correlation, but I think if you cut a bunch people from your team you obviously have to delay and the delay announcement draws away attention from firing a bunch of people Edit: It wasn't delayed because they fired people. That was naive to say

SNP

I think they already plan the delay, but they use the delay announcement to drown out the news about their union busting and layoff.

Ferdinand

yeah, you're right

Holy smokes, 3 shout outs within the first 8 minutes, 2 from Rich, 1 from Sam. First things first, great f'in shirt Sam... Actually that's all, carry on lads, let's have it!!!

Rich: So Alex what do you think of 10 million Switch 2s sold Alex's face: Yeah I guess 10 million people *can* be wrong

Website and forum is great, well done chaps.

Steam & GOG are what I have and all I should ever need, more news of 'steam is a monopoly' and me seeing Tim Sweeney saying Alan Wake 2 is never coming to Steam is rather paradoxical.
