Rich has been a games journalist since the days of 16-bit and specialises in technical analysis. He's commonly known around Eurogamer as the Blacksmith of the Future.

There's an embarrassment of riches in the 136th edition of DF Direct Weekly, spread across almost two hours of 'content'. We discuss the good and the bad points of the Modern Warfare 3 campaign and EA's WRC, we spend time talking about how impressive the Switch port of Super Mario RPG is and share impressions on Apple's newly announced M3 processor line-up.

But here's the thing: it still works just fine in the content I tested, the only noticeable difference coming from ultra-fast loading times losing a second or two when starting the game, with some in-game segments heavy on storage lagging a few frames behind - but with no signs of any actual performance drops.

Put simply, even with already curtailed bandwidth savagely cut back, what we saw with Marvel's Spider-Man 2 mirrored the results seen in Rift Apart - and it's at this point that we should probably put solid state storage into context of the entire I/O system within the PlayStation 5 because the amount of bandwidth available to the system is just one component of the entire set-up.

We have summarized this news so that you can read it quickly. If you are interested in the news, you can read the full text here. Read more:
