Got some audio hiccups starting at about 22 minutes in. Just at the transition from the switch segment to the Dark Souls one. Rich’s audio drops out. It comes back about a minute later when John starts speaking. I’ve left a quick post in the discord.

Completely agree on the HDR on Switch OLED. They must use a Samsung panel for that revision and as John said phones by now have rather capable HDR even, with even older models of flagship phones reaching over 1000 nits peak brightness.

Something went wrong in minute 22-23. #edit: also missing sound on minute 25+ :) Maybe an export gone rogue ^^ #edit2: another quick sound hickup around the 35 minute mark. Seems to mostly be RIch's recording having problems. #edit3: more issues at the 49 minute mark. No worries, just fix it for the public release next week maybe ^^

Same audio issues for me at the end of the switch oled segment and the start of dark souls 3. Also at the 25 minute mark. If think the issue seems to be on Rich's audio. Also at 35 minutes. Also at 49 minutes

Also having audio issues with Rich here

Ok, glad I'm not the only one who had audio drops. Started testing things in case mr receiver was going bad! Same timeframes for me as others mentioned.

Audio was good for me. However, I think several questions got mixed up under the tom davis umbrella. His name was used for several questions. Likely a misstake from copy pasting of questions.

Ah no actually, it was due to the way the question was posed, it was a 2 part question and it was a bit too long to fit on screen at once without it being confusing. Tom Davis should only be appearing twice.

Aha. Still I think his questions got mixed up with my HDR/4k upscaling question at least. Nice trick to avoid being forced to pronounce my difficult surname on camera again ;)

So ... the Master Chief is developing AI upscaling. Better not tell Cortana.
