Hi everyone and Happy New Year! The new DF Direct Weekly is now available for early access, but funnily enough it won't be the first DF Direct to go live publicly. That'll be a 30 minute mini-special dedicated exclusively to the PlayStationVR 2 specs reveal... which due to technical issues we had to reshoot this morning and that'll be going live publicly on Monday ahead of this weekly! We'll see about early access to the PSVR2 video tomorrow, but in the meantime, please do enjoy this one!

Looking for a DF Direct Weekly RSS feed access for early access? please ignore any links within Patreon itself, access this link, provide your Patreon credentials and you should be good to go: https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/593963

Speaking of the EVGA waiting list, it took me 13 months to get a 3080 through the same process. Worth it, but man it took a long time lol

I'm surprised no one mentioned Forbidden West when the "water simulation" discussion took place. It's the only upcoming game that comes to mind where water seems to be a focus. Caustics seem to be simulated in the PS5 version and that initial reveal with the Shell Walker emerging from the swamp was super impressive (assuming that was real time).

Great to see the band back together! Welcome to 2022 folks. Your new year starts... now.

Oh wow, I'm not the only Cryostatis fan out there. Might be a good game for a Time Capsule video.
