Hi everyone and welcome to your latest weekly update about what's filling up the #content pipeline! In addition to this, I'm happy to report that progress is continuing behind the scenes no revamping and improving Digital Foundry as a business. I'm particularly happy with the work being done on our new website.

Part of the plan is to ensure that all of the work we do is properly represented across all media - we want to make sure our work sits on a state-of-the-art website. We want to do a newsletter too. I know a lot of you weren't receptive to reels/shorts in the survey, but we're also noticing that other people are exploiting our work in those formats too, so maybe we should be? Meanwhile, we've made important steps in setting up the DF Retro podcast.

I'm extremely excited about the future but for now, let's talk about the present.

Alex wants to take a look at Dying Light: The Beast on PC, but review code isn't ready yet. He's returning to his big DLSS Switch 2 video, which is shaping up very nicely. No real spoilers here except to say that the "DLSS Lite" upscaler is really a thing and we're looking forward to talking about it. There's an image of it above from Star Wars Outlaws. What you can't see is the interesting "wobble" effect on the S2 side...

Rich (ie me) is finally reaching the end of the Strix Halo piece, which will be arriving this week. Not too much to comment about beyond that bearing in mind everything happening behind the scenes, but all will be revealed soon.

John has finished his superb video on the embargoed #content I discussed last week and sets off tomorrow for two weeks in Japan, networking with developers, having fun and visiting the Tokyo Game Show!

Tom is heading straight into the console versions of Borderlands 4. We think we've done enough on the PC version already in this week's Direct.

Oliver is going to be our man reviewing Dying Light: The Beast - but he's also keen on reviewing the iPhone 17 Pro too.

Metal Gear Solid Delta and Gears Reloaded aside, it's all been a bit quiet as of late, but we're looking forward to the excitement returning soon - and, as always, if there are comments to share or potential projects to suggest, please do so. Have a great week!

short form content seems to help channels, maybe these can be on the DF clips channel? a new channel?

Jamie

Hell is Us Daemon X Machina

Dani Ádám

Will you guys take a look at Hell is Us on consoles?

Helvetica Bold

Did you guys receive review code for Ghost of Yotei? Many outlets have received codes already.

Eric Benoit

I wonder if john is working on Silent hillF

Snorlax cat

do you think you can get a dev interview with sucker punch since most outlets have had code for a while? It would be nice to know what they improved under the hood

I think chunking up your content into reels/shorts is best for your brand and business. I don’t think your audience wants to admit it, but it’s extremely popular.

+1 For Oliver reviewing the iPhone 17. Always happy to see Apple content from someone who has a clue.

Ian

Alex will need a long shower after all this switch 2 usage!

Thomas Trala

I’m definitely interested in seeing Oliver’s coverage of the new iPhone. They are putting in some great thermals and tech in that device which hopefully should bring some great performance gains. Seeing how it compares to the Switch 2 and Steamdeck if possible would be awesome.

Rich, from what I've seen, doing clips & reels are a great way to bring newer people into the fold, but don't seem to do much for people already invested into the content. So, clipping the best parts of a Direct or something like that makes a lot of sense as a clip or reel. Also, if John makes a movie of a video, a clip or reel that's basically an ad for a longer piece makes a lot of sense to get the word out and try to help boost numbers as soon as the video comes out.

Daniel Tobin

I agree. Clips/reels may not be particularly appealing to the folks who are already paying for the full-length content, but I'm not, by any stretch, opposed to them.

Optimized Prime

I'm guessing that's "the embargoed content" mentioned above.

Switch 2 looks significantly lower res than pc in that image. Day and night difference.

sharilah

hard to say without pixel counting native footage - i can't really tell the difference in the jpeg. they look the same to me.

Quiet time has been the perfect time to join patreon and support you guys going independent. Looking forward to the future.
