New Patreon Exclusive Content Available Now! (Patreon)

Hey everyone, Rich here! First of all, I've got plenty of thanks to dish out! To begin with, welcome to our new Patreon supporters who've jumped on recently - possibly to get hold of the source files for our recent Xbox One X footage. I really hope that seeing the quality of these files playing back on your own screens demonstrates the leap in quality we're aiming for over YouTube. And secondly, many thanks to everyone who came to our panels at EGX 2017 - John and I had a great time and it was great to meet so many of you!

New exclusive Patreon content has been a long time coming - we've been slammed with projects, to be honest - but I hope you appreciate it. Starting today, we're going to start sharing a bunch of raw gameplay capture with you, kicking off with complete playthroughs of the Rise of the Tomb Raider Xbox One X demo in both Enriched 4K and High Frame-Rate modes. 

No HDR here I'm afraid - we needed these runs in SDR for our standard asset work - but regardless, I'm pretty sure these videos are unique and I'm happy to share them with you. 

Recently, Microsoft hosted a tour event in London which has formed the basis for our recent Xbox One X coverage, including the Tomb Raider stuff. By default, Microsoft had the capture equipment (Atomos Ninja Inferno, a great piece of kit) set to a fairly low quality level in order for the assembled journos to get as much footage onto their supplied SSD as possible. I brought my own SSDs and tweaked the stations so we could capture at our usual quality level to ensure we got the best assets. We came away with about 1.2TB of data, with Tomb Raider filling up one 500GB SSD alone!

More to come soon then, including extended videos of Killer Instinct and Quantum Break. No comparisons, no voiceovers, just the assets. Thanks again for your support!

Oh, and as always, all the Patreon exclusive downloads can be previewed and grabbed here: https://www.digitalfoundry.net/browse/patreon-exclusive
