## Resource

The latest Q+A show kicks off with the news we just missed from the last Direct - Sony raising prices for PlayStation 5. The machine you could buy for $400 in 2020 is now $600, while the disc model hits $650. The team discuss the implications and discuss price comparisons with PC - but are those comparisons relevant? Meanwhile, what could Nintendo do with a potential Ocarina of Time remake? Will Project Helix solve shader compilation stutter and will next-gen consoles use 3D v-cache? All this and more in the show.00:00 Introduction01:33 Supporter Q1: How should we plan for a long cross generation period, in light of PS5 price increases?15:25 Supporter Q2: Is the PS5 Pro still good value compared to a gaming PC?22:56 Supporter Q3: What would you like to see for a remake of Ocarina of Time? 28:47 Supporter Q4: Could Project Helix lead to an end for shader compilation stutter?32:49 Supporter Q5: Should next-gen consoles include 3D V-Cache?
