Currently playing 007 First Light on PS5 Pro. Looks and runs great, I am so happy they were able to pull this off, especially after the stuttery gameplay footage from last year. Hats off to IOI, feels like their first real AAA game. Great video als always DF!
It is crazy to think that this is the first new 007 game in 14 years.
Damn only 720p on performance mode and slightly above 1080p on quality mode is crazy, even for base PS5 IMO.
What a showing for the Pro! Better than quality mode at 60 fps.
720p is diabolical
Nice to see a bespoke game engine in 2026. More of these please!
It's not a new game release day without some solid DF investigation and oli as a bonus!
I think adding an HDR section to your reviews would be incredibly helpful for viewers. Very few games have a proper implementation (Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, Horizon Zero Dawn, Crimson Desert), and most UE5 titles are pretending by blowing up brightness.
Kinda confused. Didn't they say they target 1440p in the interview with Alex?
Richard is the real 007
Anyone else things Bond looks like Henry from KCD? I can’t unsee it.
What we've all been waiting for! 👌
Great job, everything looks polished
720p on base is painful
Was kind of funny at the end to hear Oliver conclude his analysis and Rich jump in one last time to remind me about War Thunder lol. Good video
720p with only FSR 3 is crazy in 2026.
Why no 40fps mode on base PS5 ?!
720p!?
Name’s bond NATHEN BOND
