Rich, John and Alex discuss the stunning Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra debut trailer, potentially big upgrades to FSR via its upcoming 3.1 upgrade, while Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's tweaked performance mode (via a new patch) is analysed. Have image quality concerns finally been addressed? Meanwhile, we attempt to draw a line under the whole PS5 Pro/GTA6 60fps situation, while John shares his experiences with Nvidia's AI-powered Covert Protocol demo. Can AI move beyond upscaling to provide new gameplay experiences?

By the way, we were planning to include performance testing for Outcast: A New Beginning, but we need more time for the tests, so we may film a bonus bit to go into either the public release of this Direct or else DF Direct Weekly #156.

Do you think Microsoft will use Nvidia’s Blackwell technology in the next version of the Series X? If so would that make it a major competitor in the PC market as well if Microsoft added similar functionality as the SteamDeck?
