We're Going 4K 60FPS HDR PS5 OMGWTFBBQ Everyone
🕑 Added 2020-10-25 08:43:54 +0000 UTCHey Patrons, a channel update that many of you may have noticed is that the videos are slowly moving over to 4K, 60FPS (where applicable). The graphics evolution video pretty much needed that, but LTPS also had 4K, 60 where possible. And I've updated all the news story graphics as well. Those were VERY old and low res. (I'm also dreading the fact that from here on out, I cannot reuse story images I already made. That's 8 years of assets gone).
But really, we're going to be PS5 ready. Once the console drops all PS5 captures will be of the highest quality, and I can't wait to see something like another trophy challenge displayed in beautiful 4K. Alongside just the new capture hardware, I've been making some heavy investments to get the channel ready for handling this footage. Working with 4K is not easy or cheap, so thank you all for your continued support here.
HDR I'm hoping we can do, but good lord working with it is an absolute nightmare.
Or maybe it's better to say: learning it is a nightmare. After an entire day of testing and evaluating, HDR is certainly do-able but the files are absolutely massive for mere minutes of footage. On a 30 minute video, we're probably well past YouTube's 128GB upload limit. But between tone-mapping, proper HDR metadata, file sizes, HDCP 2.2, PSVR passthrough, and a few other headaches, HDR isn't a guarantee.
Either way, I'm excited to see the visual quality jump soon. Maybe at some point I'll pay someone to have decent animation screens and call-to-action overlays. But I don't want too much of the amateur charm to disappear. Yeah, that's what we'll call it. Amateur charm, it works, I swear!

You really should've!! I was watching MKBHD's unboxing and almost felt bad at how neglectfully he was doing it (basically just ripping the box open at certain points).

Haha fair enough! What I meant is that I really like the structure and delivery of content from your current videos, and hope worrying about higher quality video / editing does not hamper that. if you have to pick between "better quality video" and "better quality content", pls pick content haha
J-tight from the tester season 3
Super excited to see this channel grow even more

It would’ve been nice but yeah, my channel does not have the pull the other ones do. And I’m not traditional games media. Though in fairness I didn’t even try that hard, only sent out two emails. I’m sure I could have reached out more but it’s not a huge worry.

Funny thing is, the title of this post is a reference to a Resistance 2 trophy called ‘OMGWTFBBQ’!

It’s way better to wait Dean! Buy when you’re ready, you might find more games on sale by the time you buy.
Ryan Biniecki
It’s worth noting LTPS video (the camera that actually captures me) is staying 1080. No one needs my face in 4K. (:
Ryan Biniecki
Thanks Stephen!

Yeah, HDR wouldn’t be a regular occurrence at all. But would still be great for games that really shine with it and videos that are heavy on gameplay. Would also be nice to be a little ahead of the curve on internet video quality.
Ryan Biniecki
Well as of right now, I’d use HDR for gameplay heavy videos (like trophy challenges). My only worry is those videos tend to be long, and that’s where file size might stop me. But either way, uploads should be looking great now!

Amazing , seeing you putting a major effort on your channel, you should have been chosen by Sony for the early PS5 but as a corporation the choose numbers not quality, so will follow you with Day one PS5 content

BBQ? Better Beautiful Quality or Barbecue? Haha! Either way, can’t wait to see the LTPS in all its 4K60 glory.

Why would we hate you? Waiting makes sense for a lot of people :)
TokyoHome
Amazing. Love the effort and dedication you put into your videos.

A lot of you guys are going to hate me but I think I may cancel my pre-order. For me it’s going to be around £800 for the PS5, controller, headset and 2 games. To be brutally honest there’s no game coming out that I want. I’m very unsure what to do. Save my money and buy early next year or have a console that I won’t really use. I’m coming from Xbox so will lose all my games etc.

Nice to see the leaps! Though I will say (at least for LTPS) the main thing I like is concise summarized stream on content. Most of the time I'm hearing audio only without the video. Hopefully you are able to keep up with the quality of content with this added HDR headache haha :)

Cant wait dude 🙂

Congratulations Ryan Bro!!! Taking another great step, bummer about older content but cheers to making a lot more beautiful content... Premier PlayStation YouTube creator!

The 4K60 is far more important I think than HDR, especially given the type of content you primarily put out. I would reserve HDR use for special occasions where it’s inclusion would make a tangible difference.
Adam Clinton
Very exciting, I did notice the new graphics on LTPS! As much as the HDR would be amazing for your content, if it's that much more of a pain for you to work with, the jump from 1080p to 4k is already a big leap for the channel. I'm sure they'll be particular videos where HDR will be nice to have every now and then, but exciting stuff nonetheless!
