Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 24: PlayStation Director's Cut VS Xbox Smart Delivery (Patreon)

Through Smart Delivery, a once scoffed at service, Xbox has managed to make the implementation of next-gen updates to current games easier for the consumer. With it being as simple as sliding in your disc, the newest series of consoles now plays the best version of the game automatically. PlayStation enables this as well, but there are some more hoops to leap through. Likely due to this, they have sidestepped the competition with their own form of double dipping. This is the Director's Cut movement beginning with Ghost Of Tsushima and Death Stranding, but most certainly will fall into other games both recent and old. The conversation that Cog and Matty bring you is simple. Is this a conversation we're having because of Smart Delivery simply doing its own thing free of charge? Should PlayStation fans need to pay $10 for minor mechanics like adaptive triggers and the expected 4K 60 FPS targeted updates? Together with your feedback, we go through all the perspectives on this sticky situation that will only grow.
