DF Direct Weekly talks Dead Space Remake and Psychonauts 2 • Eurogamer.net

And what’s going on with the “rankings” and the retro game trading?

Welcome to the blog post announcing the arrival of the 27th Digital Foundry Direct Weekly, the talk show on the latest gaming and tech news. I won’t talk too much about this one because in the end, I didn’t participate! We like to have a rotating panel on every Direct and sometimes our workflow is such that we can’t waste the time to participate, but whatever – there’s a good, solid, 75 minute chat for you to enjoy. week kicks off with the somewhat unorthodox but still welcome revelation of the Dead Space remake.

Summer is when we try to take a vacation, and that means we can’t always cover all the games we want with video or written content – Psychonauts 2 is one example. John is a huge fan of the game, however, and shares his thoughts on it in this week’s Direct, while lamenting the sad loss of Konami’s remarkable Breeding Stud franchise. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey 60fps patch? A light blanket this week, but we’ll look to use it as soon as we can.

Beyond that, retro collectors John and Audi share their thoughts on the WATA ranking and trading stories that have emerged this week and their general thoughts on fitting collectible games into protective plastic packaging and on the guarantee that they can never be played again. The team is also sharing their thoughts on this week’s PlayStation Showcase – what titles should we expect to see?

It’s the 27th DF Direct Weekly, this time perpetrated by Audi Sorlie, John Linneman and Alex Battaglia.
