Coming This Week on Digital Foundry (Week 11, 2022) (Patreon)
Content
Well, hello there! It's Monday, the DF team has reconvened after the weekend and we've been talking #content. It's a pretty basic week, so let's get right down to it! But yes, we did actually receive code for Grand Theft Auto 5 today, though it looks like only the PS5 version works right now (smart delivery is a bit of a tricky beast on Xbox vis a vis release dates).
* Alex is working on a breakdown of what the new Grand Theft Auto 5 releases actually do on the next generation of consoles. That boils down to last-gen vs current-gen comparisons but perhaps more interestingly, how the new version betters the PC edition at max settings.
* Tom is taking point on platform comparisons. Since we expect the audience to want content sooner rather than later, PS5 and Series X get priority and we'll follow up with a look at Series X vs S. He's also finishing up a video on Triangle Strategy for Switch.
* John is spending the week on the Gran Turismo episode for DF Retro. If you've been following his Twitter timeline, you'll be seeing how far and indeed wide he's going with this one.
* Oliver is just finishing up with GRID Legends, which we were in danger of overlooking when in actual fact... it's pretty impressive! His Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection Switch video leaves early access and goes live, likely tomorrow.
* Audi is working on another OG Xbox-themed DF Retro Play before moving on to a review of the Amiga Mini.
* Rich (ie me) is finishing up the long-in-development Elden Ring analysis on Steam Deck and then moves on to looking at the Deck running Windows. I mean, we all want to see Valley of the Ancient, Flight Simulator, Halo Infinite and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition running on that! Any other requests?
Have a great week!
