Coming This Week on Digital Foundry (Week 24, 2023) (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone, it's Rich here, armed with all of the information gleaned from this week's #content meeting. Lots going on, plus we had the chance to discuss how we're going to tackle the Xbox 'E3' event on Sunday - we likely will produce a DF Direct Special for that (otherwise we'd be waiting a week for content to go live publicly, which wouldn't be a great idea). We'll also be picking out specific games like Starfield for longer individual videos.
But the show doesn't start until Sunday, meaning there's a week of work to wade through first.
* Rich (ie me) is polishing up benchmarks of almost the entire range of available budget '1080p' GPUs, from RX 6600 to RTX 4060 Ti. This includes the new RX 7600 which is profoundly uninteresting, but it also includes Intel Arc A750/A770 - both of which are very interesting. I'm weighing up two videos (7600 review, Intel revisit) or just concentrating on the Intel cards with a 7600 insert or two. Thoughts?
* Tom is working on Street Fighter 6 on consoles! We spent some time this morning on discussing new angles beyond the demo coverage we've already done, as most of the aspects seen in that video haven't changed.
* Oliver is working on Diablo 4 on consoles and should have worked on that wrapped up pretty quickly. Beyond that, there are a number of options - possibly a last-gen Diablo 4 video, possibly No Man's Sky on Mac (with bonus PSVR2 #content) and possibly a Forspoken PS5 revisit as that has dramatically improved.
* Alex is finishing up a video looking at PC titles some way off from their launches. He's revisiting the likes of Returnal, Dead Space, Forspoken and The Callisto Protocol to see to what extent, if any, these games have improved since we initially looked at them. Or didn't, in the case of Callisto on PC. Beyond that? Street Fighter 6 on PC.
* Don (yes!) returns for our PC analysis of Diablo 4!
* John is working on embargoed content, but is also producing written reviews of the Viture One XR glasses and the Innocn 48Q1V OLED monitor - fans of 48-inch OLED TVs looking for a more PC-orientated monitor based on the same tech may like this one!
* Will has the day off today, but is still working on the Ryzen 4800S (ie Xbox Series X) CPU review - and has been helping out in general more recently with adapting video content for Eurogamer articles, something we both handle but don't often discuss!
As usual, do let us know of anything you think we should be covering, or think we should know about but in the meantime, I hope you have a great week!
