Welcome the latest instalment of DF Direct Weekly – the 90th, in fact – where myself, John Linneman and Alex Battaglia discuss the latest gaming and technology news. It’s a week dominated by The Game Awards and the various reveals put before our eyes, where maybe – just maybe – we began to see the beginning of the end of the cross-gen period.
I’m not going to spoil the discussion but expect the Direct to cover off our thoughts on Returnal and The Last of Us Part 1 being confirmed for PC, plus we welcome Unreal Engine 5 titles like Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, Tekken 8 and The Lords of the Fallen. It’s unclear of the extent to which those UE5 games use the cutting-edge features like Lumen and Nanite, but based on The Callisto Protocol, we hope to see these games cut ties with the last generation.
It looks like the momentum is finally there to bid farewell to cross-gen thanks to the annoucement that both Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077 expansions will not support eighth-gen console hardware while Kojima Productions’ Death Stranding 2 also looks to embrace the current generation by only supporting PlayStation 5.
