DF Direct Q+A: The Big Unreal Engine 5 Image Quality/Performance Debate

We've now split the DF Direct Supporter Q+A section into its own show! Want to get involved? Join the DF Supporter Program, support the team, join us in our amazing community: https://bit.ly/3jEGjvx

In our first spin-off Q+A show, it's pretty clear what the community is discussing: what's going on with Unreal Engine 5 games in terms of image quality and performance? Are compromised experiences now "part of the furniture" or can/will something be done? Beyond that, we discuss how YouTube quality issues impact our work, whether gaming laptops serve any purpose in the era of the handheld, whether you should play Death Stranding 1 before Death Stranding 2 and if Nvidia really has left the gamer behind. And finally, if we could bring back/remaster/remake any old game, what would it be?
