Coming This Week To Digital Foundry (Week 34, 2023) (Patreon)

Hi everyone, welcome to the latest update from the world of Digital Foundry! The #content meeting commenced this morning as usual with all team members in attendance - including Oliver, who's doing fine, thanks for asking. 

Myself, John and Alex will be attending Gamescom this week, which is obviously going to have an impact on the schedule, but here's what we're planning to deliver and here are the projects we're working on.

* Rich (ie me) is getting achingly close to finishing the AyaNeo handhelds video, which looks like being over half an hour in length. Will try to finish before flying out to Gamescom tomorrow evening but it could be tight. The Virgin Media Gamepad video I mentioned last week is done and should be coming soon.

* John is working on embargoed content until tomorrow when he drives over to Cologne for Gamescom.

* Alex 'Games Pass' Battaglia is finishing up a new PC Retro Time Capsule based on the original Max Payne! After that, yup, he's heading to Gamescom. Or Game Com, as I call it, just to annoy him.

* Tom is working flat-out on Immortals of Aveum and we're looking to have that #content later in the week. There's a big patch dropping imminently which means retesting some stuff. 

* Oliver is doing fine! In his current predicament, he's unable to do much beyond DF Direct work, but in his spare moments, he'll be going back through the Direct archive to stock up on some DF Clips that are still revelant and/or entertaining. With a fair wind - literally - he should be back in the saddle on meatier #content soon.

We're looking into getting in Armoured Core 6 and will attempt to somehow shoehorn it in, but do let us know if there's anything we should be looking at. Gamescom? We have a range of appointments and some 'free time' but the plan is to record an in-person DF Direct Weekly on Thursday evening. 

For a small team, having three people away from their desks for three days can't help but have some kind of effect, but it's important for us as aside from my meeting with Alex last year for the Intel interview in Berlin, we've not been together since 2020! So we're looking forward to that. We will be doing our best to get Starfield content up by the time of the public release, but please understand if for all of these reasons it may be a bit late.

Have a great week!
