Are the 63 new screenshots indicative of actual gameplay? What about the "code in a box" situation? Are the latest PS5 Pro rumours plausible? Meanwhile, the panel is shocked by the huge Xbox price rises, somewhat more positive about FSR 4 arriving on RDNA 3 GPUs, and there's a full breakdown of Sonic Frontiers for Switch 2. And finally, SteamOS can now power a range of desktop PC hardware - but wasn't Bazzite doing that already?

I feel like when I sit down to finally watch the DF Tech Review of GTA VI I should be wearing a suit
I'm sorry, but the idea that Rockstar, of all companies, is worried about the cost of producing and shipping discs is a bit absurd. They are still shipping the boxes, so space-wise it's still the same freight. And producing Blu-ray discs is very cheap. They want to control when the game is available and prevent second-hand distribution.
What a glorious time we live in, a 500$ console should be 300$ by now but it's 800$ lol
Got my PS5 Pro for around $540 a while back from a guy on the Marketplace, in pristine condition with his box and all accessories, pretty good deal.
The idea of preordering a game five months ahead that has shown no gameplay outside of cutscenes is bizarre
It's insane that Rockstar opened pre-orders without a new trailer. And GTA6 is relatively close to release.
I will wait for the disk edition.Code in a box is absolutely ridiculous.
Next to 0 gameplay shown, no performance details, no disc, which means we don’t have to worry about it going out of stock yet people are dropping $100 already. Imagine how much we might know by now if we actually made Rockstar work for our money first.
I think the GTA screenshots are like the photo mode in Forza Horizon, and they get “post processed” when you take the screenshot
Dont forget Rockstars recent union-busting shenanigans ☠️
:50 That “good for you” absolutely killed me 😂
Digital Foundry: "It's not great", choosing those words carefully all the time LOL.
XBOX SERIES X|S needs to adopt FSR 4.1 on its RDNA 2.

Following the logic, the next gen will launch with no console în the box ‼️
Dec 2023, new Series X consoles (1 TB) were going on sale for $350. Glad I bought one back then. These new prices are beyond ridiculous for hardware that is several years old now.
Idk why people are pontificating about Rockstar saving money not printing discs when they still have to pay shipping costs for a bunch of empty ps5 and Xbox game cases. Including the fees to Sony and Microsoft and the retailer. The extra cost of the disc itself is nothing when Rockstar is still paying for every other cost of physical release.
I think people forgot how blurry RDR2 was on launch consoles.
Game will age well for the next gen. Clearly has the future in mind
well the ps store page says ps5 pro enhanced so theres that. itmeanjs it will have SOMETHING the others dont
