DF Direct Weekly #116: No Xbox ’Pro’ Console? Starfield 30FPS Reaction, PS5 Cloud Streaming
The latest DF Direct Weekly ’drops’ with John, Rich and Alex reuniting at the mics after a massive week of not-E3 showcase news and fallout. Phil Spencer appears to be ruling out a mid-gen ’Pro’ console update for the Xbox Series machines, Matt Booty says that Xbox One first-party game development is finally over, while Sony reveals that PS5 game streaming is coming to its subscription service. Meanwhile, the Starfield ’storm in a teacup’ 30fps discourse continues, while Alex comes face-to-face (in a figurative sense) with his more youthful, optimistic self, posing yet more ’Battaglia time travel’ discussion.
