Oh heck yes! Also, this is just the highlights. Patrons get access to the 12 individual episodes and they're still amazing.

Man, this breaks my heart to see. The employment situation in games is ridiculously difficult right now.

This video took a while to make but it’s finally out! A lot of the capture work for Part 2 is complete as well. I’ll finish that after the holiday! Enjoy.

Really interesting results here. It seems that the largest failure point for modern TVs are LCD backlights. Either complete or partial failures. youtu.be/ot1gr-YypY4?...

Not to say this is a good thing but...does anyone here actually just work 40 hours a week and that's that? I'm not required to do anything extra or anything but it's just kinda naturally what I do. This seems like not so unusual overtime?

This game is indeed pretty darn good. Really surprised me especially considering its origins.

I played a whole lot of Doom games this year. Did a full Nightmare playthrough of Doom Eternal, which was amazing, and went through Dark Ages a couple times.

Thomas has found quite possibly the worst review I've ever read. This is truly next level here.

Can confirm - the game is now awesome on PS5 Pro. Looks like it was just a bug and has been corrected. The game is amazing so do check it out.

GOTY is tough this year because I’ve been on the road so often thus played a lot of Deck and Switch 2 stuff. I’m finally played E33 and like it thus far but no chance I can finish it to determine if I like it enough for the list.

The latest episode of the Super Show is out! Check it out.

Man, I guess I need to find time for Expedition 33. The release timing was bad for me and the reliance on bad quality FMV bothered me a lot but it does seem to be worth playing.

New Mega Man and Ace Combat announced?! Ok, that is very excellent news! Great thing to wake up to!

So the current situation on Skate Story PS5 Pro - terrible performance, do not buy PS5 Base - much better, mostly 60 but sometimes stutters Switch 2 - default mode is not good, need to check performance mode Xbox - TBD Steam - extremely smooth and runs great on lots of hardware - buy it here!

Gonna investigate later but apparently it’s better on base PS5 suggesting that the game is simply broken on PS5 Pro. If that’s the case, that’s a pretty gigantic bug to miss.

I can at least report that 1) the game is actually awesome and 2) the PC version is extremely smooth. Runs good on Steam Deck but on my main PC I'm playing at 330 fps locked and it feels great. Ultrawide too!

PSA: If you're interested in checking out Skate Story, avoid the console versions. I've been looking forward to it and bought it on PS5...but the performance f**** sucks. It's extremely unstable and messy - VRR can't save it. What a shame. Trying to figure out if I can refund it.

Dang, this article is great. Really happy to see younger folks discovering all this stuff and really getting into it. That’s just awesome.

I approve of this video! It's focused on just one aspect of CRT gaming but it's fun to see filmed versions of these examples. Check it out! Really well done.

He ain't wrong

This rules

Wild to see this finally hit consoles. Blood absolutely slaps and is one of my favorite classic shooters. Buy this and play it. Trust me on that.

It's weird but...if you own a Switch 2 and Switch OLED, try picking up and using the OLED again. It immediately just feels like the more premium hardware. Sleeker, better materials, way better screen - the Switch 2 genuinely feels cheaper. Like an Amazon Fire tablet versus an iPad or something.

Those who are picking it up, enjoy Metroid Prime 4! Hope you guys have as much fun as I did. Also, make sure to grab green crystals from chests in the shrines and various other places around the world - you don't need to just drive through them in the desert (that method is way slower)

The AI apocalypse continues. The amount of collateral damage from AI is truly staggering. This is not likely to end well.

It's wild how good this still looks in motion - the detail, the motion blur, the lighting...good stuff here

Some mixed reviews out there but for me it’s a 5/5 and my second favorite Prime game. Absolutely loved everything about it - well, almost everything. Also the best HDR I’ve seen in a long time.

This week on the Suoer Show we talk about the Analogue 3D in-depth and do a lot of benchmarking DF style. It’s an EX episode - something we wanted to try for specific types of hardware releases.

First of multiple Xbox 360 projects is here! Check it out.

Gigantic amount of Black Ops 7 copies under the shelves not including the ones actually on the shelves.

Here’s the first take on the A3D - we’re also planning a DF Retro Super Show Special on it going into some additional things. I also took a bunch of extra shots that didn’t end up being used in the article so I’ll post them here! Check out the review below on our new site!

This is some crushing news to wake up to. What an incredibly talented, kind person. Truly a legend. RIP

Episode 2 of the Super Show is live! Check it out either on YouTube or various podcast services.

How curious. I finally opened up my launch 360 which red ringed in 2008. Inside I’ve found a bunch of capacitors that seem to have blown which seems separate to the usual red ring issue. Wonder what’s up with that?

New Valve hardware finally announced and I think it looks amazing. The new headset feels like it could possibly replace the Quest 3 - more powerful and no Facebook account needed. The GabeCube is just a gorgeous little box that seems reasonably powered. www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2025/11...

The DF Retro Super Show should now be available on all your favorite (or non-favorite) podcast sources! New episodes coming this weekend! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Yeah, I recommend picking this up immediately. It's a fantastic take on Lumines and probably my favorite version since the PSP original. Gorgeous visuals, great music and sound and excellent VR.

I think it’s no coincidence that the most successful Xbox console launched with a numbered Ridge Racer. Just saying.

As two popular launch titles, the gulf in quality and playability between Halo Combat Evolved on Xbox and Call of Duty 2 on 360 is so vast. Halo absolutely decimates COD2 in retrospect and it’s not even close in my book. COD2 has aged horribly - Halo remains a classic.

I still love this little thing for quick gaming sessions.

We have a new website as of today! All the old content and lots of new stuff on the way. Give it a look!

You know what's up

I believe this actually showed up on Xbox much like the, uh, bootleg versions of Wipeout that I covered lol

I just like CRTs, what can I say?

I'm convinced that Xbox today would be in a different place if Kinect had never become a thing. This was the point when things started to go off the rails.

Working on an Unreal video - when using modern renderers, has anyone managed to achieve the current sky color? It’s always wrong compared to the original 3DFX renderer.

Hmm, my Hucard copy of PC Genjin 2 (Bonk's Revenge) is suddenly not working even with cleaning. Just garbage tiles on screen...that's concerning. Has anyone had any failures with PC Engine Hucards before?

First episode of the DF Retro Super Show is out! This is our new retro focused podcast that will sit alongside DF Direct Weekly with episodes hitting twice a month! First one focuses on the launch of PlayStation 2. Be sure to give it a look!

In case you missed it, a new episode of DF Retro dropped yesterday! While the new bar is featured it’s mainly focused on the originals.

I had the urge to fire up Halo MCC on my PC and it’s been 20 minutes of account jail as it just refuses to let me in. I have now given up. F*** this nonsense.
