Coming This Week on Digital Foundry (Week 31, 2022) (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone, Rich here, fully back in action this week. The image above? Well, that'll be a shot of Dogital Foundry's vacation - and why not? Plenty going on this week as per usual, so let's get straight into it.
* Rich (ie me) is putting together a video on the PlayStation 5's new beta firmware featuring 1440p support. So what exactly happens when a game with an internal 1440p resolution runs on the PS5? It's complicated! All told though, this is a welcome new feature!
* John is working on a quick video on Bright Memory Infinite - a curious title in that it's only supported for current-gen consoles and PCs. And yet... there's a Switch port too, so how does that stack up? Work is also in progress on not one, but two new DF Retro major episodes, thanks to some collaboration work! More on that soon.
* Tom is a pretty big Super Smash Bros fan, so he's working on MultiVersus which should be ready pretty soon. Beyond that? Switch SD card tests, assuming we can get the methodology sorted - SteamOS copy functionality is a bit of a pain.
* Alex is working on embargoed content. Can't talk about this one, but suffice to say, you're going to like it.
* Oliver is polishing up his piece on the Apple M1 Ultra and M1 Max, stacking it up against PC parts in the limited array of games available that support Apple Silicon. Also expect some benchmarks!
* Will is benchmarking the Intel A380 and we'll be looking to run both text and video content on that one.
We're also looking to beef up Retro content in the short to medium term with some new PC Time Capsule videos, plus Rich will be joining John to talk about the good old days of games journalism in a Retro Q+A special!
New releases are thin on the ground, of course, but we are considering a look at the Edith Finch upgrade for Xbox Series and PlayStation 5, plus Industria - which we quite liked on PC - is also available on consoles now. As always though, if you think we should be looking at something, do let us know 'in the comments below'.
