Rich is still trapped in a white room with two plants, but the Direct discussions continue regardless. Oliver's been checking out Rise of the Ronin on PlayStation 5, Alex has much to say about Nvidia's DLSS-based GDC reveals, while Rich is intrigued by Intel's latest PresentMon 2.0 features. Meanwhile, the surprise release - and withdrawal - of the PS5 Stellar Blade demo raises more questions about our digital library future.

Note: Chances are we'll be doing a PS5 Pro DF Direct Special next week.

Those potted plants look somewhat big, Rich. Conspicuously big. What are you hiding Rich? My money's on a Switch 2, hidden in plain sight

I can never think of a good question when the call goes out! But I just thought of one...gotta remember for next week. Is there any possibility Xbox or Playstation goes back to Nvidia for their GPU in the future? AMD makes their APUs now...is there any possibility, as consoles get closer to PC's, that we see a separation of GPU/CPU? I'd love to see something like the PS3/360 era where we have no clue what we are going to get! Make it exciting again! Both consoles having basically the same APUs is so boring!
