Hey everyone, Rich here. It's Monday, meaning that the Digital Foundry team reconvenes for another week of work, starting with the content meeting where we decide what we're doing.

* We have a special guest post this week covering Final Fantasy 14, not just on PlayStation 5, but on every PlayStation console, with footage going all the way back to 2010. Likely to run at the weekend, but it's phenomenal stuff - not just a PS5 analysis, but more like a complete document on the game's history and how it stands today.

* Tom is going to be looking at the version of Cyberpunk 2077 you'll actually be able to buy from the PlayStation Store now it's back, and how it looks on PS4, Pro and PS5.

* If all goes to plan, Tom will also be looking at Scarlet Nexus.

* John is moving onto some very nice retro projects with backup support from Audi, obviously!

* AMD's FSR is coming - and Alex will be taking point on that one. We're also considering a look at the DLSS 2.2 stealth update which we can confirm improves quality still further.

* Rich (ie me) will be looking at the PlayStation 5 version of Call of Duty Warzone, now it's running at 120Hz. And yes, I'm aware it's a PS4 app. Not 100% on this, but I may prepare the whole video at 120Hz for download.

* Looking for bargains? It's Amazon Prime Day, so Will will be sharing all on @dealsfoundry on Twitter. 

* DF Direct Weekly will be back in its usual slot, so look out for the call for questions on Wednesday, filming on Thursday, early access to Premium and Retro tiers on Saturday, public release on Monday.

* Still looking to do the Watch Dogs Legion 60fps patch!

Expect more early access opportunities, another Classic FPS Remastered, plus some nice retro content - we'll be talking to Joe Modzeleski about speedrunning tech, reverse engineering retro games and the Carbon Engine. Plus there'll be a Q+A stream for retro backers this Friday.

Lots going on!

All these 120fps videos are making me hyped for my new 120/144hz display to arrive! :D

When can we expect you guys to be looking at the fallen order remaster/update?

Travis Stockton

Very, very excited for the FF14 coverage. Also, don't leave us hanging Rich, please throw up a 120 Hz Warzone compilation capture even if you don't end up producing the whole analysis at 120 Hz. :-D

Can't wait to see a look into the magic the devs did to get a PS4 app running at 120fps. Hopefully means we can get others to do so as well!

I think that's already up Scott? Refresh your Patreon feed and it should pop up? It's a great watch. JUN 19, 2021 AT 10:18 AM Early Access - Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order - The Proper Next-Gen Patch

Any chance DF will look at Elder Scrolls Online on the next gen consoles? Last week they released an update/PS5/Series X version with a lot of changes and improvements.

I'm very curious about the FFXIV analysis on PS5. I was left underwhelmed by the frame drops occurring on lower resolutions, as well as the rocky uncapped performance at native 4K. I was not expecting that from a game originally targeting PS3.

I think we'll put this on Early Access for Premium/Retro supporters. Let's just say that the PS5 version holds many surprises.

Yeah... difficult one really as we've not got any experience playing the game and none of us are invested in it. What we're doing with FF14 is really special because our guest knows the game inside and out. Definitely will consider it though, even if it's not a 'bells and whistles' video.

No worries, I've played it on and off since launch on ps4/pc and the PS5 version ticks all the upgrade boxes for me with a higher resolution, faster loading, framerate improvements and fluidity over the ps4 version. I didn't know there was a ff14 video but since I watch most of them I'll see it in the future! Cheers for the reply and keep up the good work 👍
