    DF Direct Weekly #250: Steam Machine Delay, Next-Gen Xbox SoC in 2027, Nintendo Direct Reaction!
    Feb 9 2026
    In a slightly extended 250th episode, Rich is joined by Oliver, Alex and John for a huge discussion across a range of topics. Valve's still not able to tell us when Steam Machine is coming out, but the projected Q1 release now seems to be H1 instead. Meanwhile, AMD's Dr Lisa Su says that the next-gen Xbox SoC is on track for a 2027 console release... but will the console actually release in 2027? Beyond that, all the reaction to the big Nintendo Direct Direct, Rich reveals that Intel Panther Lake can beat Xbox Series S at 30W, while Alex's tests on the latest Resident Evil 4 update for PC suggest that new DRM can have an impact on game performance. 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:38 News 1: Valve: RAM and storage shortages will affect Steam Machine 0:15:51 News 2: AMD: we can support a 2027 Xbox launch 0:32:54 News 3: Nintendo Partner Direct: Oblivion Remastered 0:39:27 Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 0:50:13 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 0:58:51 Pragmata 1:07:36 Rave Racer, Goemon, Orbitals, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Tales of Arise 1:11:09 News 4: Co-op Horizon game breaks cover 1:21:34 News 5: Intel Panther Lake tested at 30W! 1:33:55 News 6: New Resident Evil DRM hurts performance 1:44:47 Supporter Q1: Could the UE5 denoiser issue affect other upscalers like PSSR? 1:50:15 Supporter Q2: Could path tracing trample on a developer’s artistic vision? 1:53:59 Supporter Q3: Is Genie 3 the end of game development? 2:00:12 Supporter Q4: What are the rules of the OptiPlex challenge? 2:11:52 Supporter Q5: What’s hiding in the 61K unread emails in Oliver’s inbox? 2:15:20 Supporter Q6: Happy 250th episode!

  • DF Direct Weekly #249: Ryzen 9850X3D Review, Handheld PS4, Kingdom Come Deliverance Console Upgrade!

    DF Direct Weekly #249: Ryzen 9850X3D Review, Handheld PS4, Kingdom Come Deliverance Console Upgrade!
    Feb 2 2026
    A bit of a quiet week, where even the launch of the new CPU gaming champion doesn't quite live up to its billing. Rich talks 9850X3D, John talks 9800X3D system building, while a custom-built handheld PS4 perhaps gives us a hint of the PlayStation handheld to come. John's been playing the Banjo-Kazooie decompilation project and memories are shared on the event of Duke Nukem 3D's 30th birthday. And a current-gen console upgrade for Kingdom Come: Deliverance? Sounds like a good idea! 0:00:00 Introduction 0:01:32 News 1: AMD releases chart-topping 9850X3D processor 0:19:19 News 2: Can you build an affordable PC in 2026? 0:41:58 News 3: Banjo-Kazooie recompilation released 0:52:17 News 4: Modder builds portable PS4 handheld 1:00:04 News 5: Kingdom Come: Deliverance current-gen enhancement leaks 1:08:08 News 6: Celebrating Duke Nukem 3D’s 30th anniversary 1:25:10 Supporter Q1: Why doesn’t AMD release an RDNA 4 based SoC for handhelds? 1:30:48 Supporter Q2: Why might Rockstar delay a physical GTA 6 release? 1:36:56 Supporter Q3: If PS6 is delayed to 2029, will Sony improve the hardware? 1:43:21 Supporter Q4: Will cross-gen PS5/6 titles run at 30fps on PS5? 1:49:59 Supporter Q5: What are your expectations for Nvidia’s 6000 series GPUs?
