The latest DF Direct Weekly goes live a day early, with the digitalfoundry team discussing the rumoured PlayStation 5 remote play streamer, the Asus ROG Ally - and Microsoft's disappointing decision to block emulation on Xbox Series consoles:
DF Direct Weekly goes live a day early this week, not because of any particular urge to liven up your holiday weekend but rather to make way for a raft of embargoed content we're expecting to deliver next week.
Let's tackle the PlayStation handheld story first of all. It's worth pointing out that Sony has made no official confirmation, and we're talking about a rumour here - but an interesting one nonetheless. First of all, the idea is that this would be a relatively cheap device, tapping into the PS5's local streaming capabilities as opposed to some kind of Steam Deck-like device, built around local gaming and using a low-power AMD SoC.
The streaming idea is far less ambitious but would deliver a far cheaper device - and would also ensure that development resources are not split between two machines. Sony could choose practically any decent mobile processor, as hardware decoding of the video compression standards used by the PlayStation 5 comes as standard on practically any low-power chip. It would effectively be a dumb terminal, connected to the PS5 via WiFi and streaming from there.
The thing is, we know the concept works. Nintendo's Wii U delivered a pretty fantastic remote play experience via the GamePad - albeit at 480p resolution. Maybe - just maybe - a focus from Sony on reducing latency, perhaps via a direct connection may improve the lag, though this would rely on you remaining relatively close to the console itself.
