00:37:08 Half-Life 2 sees updates for Steam Deck.00:28:15 Witcher 3/Cyberpunk 2077 Next-Gen Patches.John Linneman, Rich Leadbetter and Alex Battaglia reconvene - once again - to perpetrate DF Direct Weekly #34. Bearing in mind how impressive RT features were on Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 on PC in particular could be something quite special. What should we expect from those upgrades? Our contention would be improved 60fps support along with a more graphics rich 30fps mode, tapping into hardware-accelerated ray tracing. which were quickly shot down by CD Projekt RED, with the next-gen patch for Cyberpunk 2077 targeting Q1 2022, followed by The Witcher 3 in the second quarter.
We also talk about the news last week that the next generation version of The Witcher 3 was rated, leading to stories suggesting an imminent release. Unless, of course, Sony is intent on packing out datacentres with PS5 hardware - which seems unlikely, especially in light of the mooted deal with Microsoft. We also discuss Sony's global vision: in a recent video interview, Jim Ryan talked about addressing addressing millions more users with Sony titles, which inevitably leads to discussions about the cloud and therefore the concept of PC ports happening as a matter of course. It's not clear just how much of an improvement the new features add, but it'll be interesting to see if DLSS and other upscaling features are added to other Sony titles, such as the forthcoming Uncharted collection. In the new Direct, we share our thoughts on strategy but ask the fundamental question beyond some truly impressive tech: will this extremely capable, super-efficient technology ever really be put through its paces in gaming? Is a profound commitment to gaming beyond the iOS ecosystem even worth considering for Apple, when its mobile ecosystem is likely to be so much more profitable?īeyond that, discussion moves on to last week's announcement of God of War for PC, complete with select new graphical features, unlocked frame-rates, ultrawide support and the pleasantly surprising inclusion of Nvidia DLSS. M1 Pro and M1 Max look absolutely monstrous and from a GPU perspective alone, we're looking at a doubling then a quadrupling of the already impressive M1.
Our chat kicks off with the arrival of new Apple Silicon found with the brand new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros. DF Direct Weekly returns once again, with myself, John and Alex taking a time-out from our various individual projects to discuss the latest gaming and tech news.
