Wow, a busy day - I almost forgot to write up the call for questions for DF Direct Weekly #149, which we shall be filming tomorrow morning. Looks like it'll be Rich (ie me), John and Alex at the mics to discuss the latest gaming and technology news!

Inevitably, we'll be discussing the meltdown surrounding Microsoft's alleged multi-format plans and trying to get some idea of the pros and cons. We'd really like your thoughts on this - as well as your questions!

We'll also be discussing the release of Helldivers 2 (we did some co-op this afternoon!) and if we can find the time, we'll be looking at the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo and the Starfield beta with XeSS and FSR3 support.

As usual, please do make use of the invitingly blank box below for your input into tomorrow's show!

Hi DF, does the shift away from console exclusivity necessarily mean Microsoft will move away from hardware production or rather turn the Xbox into the quasi pc that’s been mentioned on previous directs. If you think they will cease making consoles is it likely then that Sony, lacking any competition in the space, might try to eat Nintendo’s lunch in the portable space again?

Hi DF, with Pathtracing starting to trickle into Games and Epic planning to introduce it in runtime with UE 5.4, do you think next gen consoles (PS6 & XBOX Z 720) may consider using it as a baseline for rendering, if RDNA 5 & 6 can reach NVidia’s current or Gen 50’s Tracing Performance? Thanks for the great content guys!

Hey DF crew! I'm assuming we're gonna have to wait a bit for a review on Helldivers 2 since they didn't seem to give out review codes in advance. But could you provide some impressions of the PC version since it seems to be quite problematic. Do you know of any actual fixes? Is it worth buying at this point or is it bad enough to wait until they patch it?

Hey DF exclamation point. Have you any thoughts on the ROG XG Mobile external GPU, for use with the ROG Ally?
