DF Direct Q+A: Will AMD Deliver Its Own DLSS 5? Will CD Projekt RED Bring Back The RED Engine?
Summary
Hosts Johnny, Oliver, and Rich discuss the implications of DLSS 5, debating whether AMD and Intel will mimic Nvidia’s AI-driven approach or integrate deeper into game engines to overcome screen-space limitations. They also praise Pearl Abyss’s agile post-launch support for Crimson Desert and analyze Capcom’s conservative visual choices in Onimusha. The panel addresses speculation that CD Projekt Red might abandon its Red Engine for Unreal 5 and refutes the idea that Sony will adopt a third-party hardware model for future consoles.
