Welcome to the very latest episode of Digital Foundry Direct Weekly – DF’s weekly show where the team discuss the latest gaming and technology news, while fielding a barrage of questions from backers of the Digital Foundry Supporter Program<\/a>. And while the news this week is dominated by Sony’s subscription plans, it’s the new footage of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that catches our eyes. Is it actually running on Nintendo Switch?<\/p>\n

So here’s the thing – pixel counts on the new content vary between 720p in some instances to 1080p in another (the original was 900p) but what really struck us was the sheer fidelity in the presentation. Character self-shadowing, the quality of the volumetric rendering – it’s very good indeed and worlds beyond the presentation of the original game. Just to be clear, we’re not for one minute suggesting that Nintendo has delivered a surprise reveal of Switch Pro\/Super Switch\/Switch Model S\/insert name but we would prefer to see transparency on game video sources – and in fairness, that level of transparency is exactly what other platform holders are delivering now.<\/p>\n

As for the revised Sony subscription service? It comes across as a rationalisation of its existing offering, combining two different services into one. However, we still have more questions than answers really, especially in terms of what the games actually are that are being offered in the higher-end tiers and of course, the elephant in the room – curation and quality of the emulation for older systems along with the effectiveness of the streaming.<\/p>\n
