DF Direct Weekly #230: Switch 2 Ray Tracing - Finally! Hollow Knight: Silksong, 007 First Light!

from Digital Foundry Direct Weekly · host Digital Foundry

In the latest DF Direct, we finally get some idea of Switch 2's ray tracing capabilities via Star Wars Outlaws - and the team likes what they see. Meanwhile, details emerge of just how much slower Switch 2 carts are compared to internal storage and MicroSD Express - and it's a touch concerning. A reported storage downgrade for PlayStation 5 isn't exactly great news, and neither is the final death of Perfect Dark - but 007 First Night and Hollow Knight: Silksong have much to commend them. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:06 News 1: Star Wars Outlaws impresses on Switch 2! 0:23:58 News 2: Switch 2 carts are too slow for Star Wars Outlaws 0:34:43 News 3: Report: PS5 Digital to get storage downgrade 0:44:19 News 4: 007 First Light gameplay debuts 1:00:10 News 5: Take-Two fails to buy Perfect Dark 1:06:58 News 6: Hollow Knight: Silksong packs good PC tech 1:13:02 Supporter Q1: Has YouTube changed its video algorithms? 1:23:51 Supporter Q2: What’s up with HDR support in recent games? 1:30:16 Supporter Q3: Is software quality the real bottleneck for good performance? 1:38:52 Supporter Q4: Could Prey 2 get a Nightdive revival? 1:45:06 Supporter Q5: Why does Battlefield 6 scale oddly with higher core count CPUs? 1:50:41 Supporter Q6: Could DF hold an anniversary special to commemorate independence?
