Final Fantasy 16's quality and performance modes lead the discussion in this week's DF Direct Weekly:
Sit back, relax and enjoy 35 minutes of Digital Foundry Final Fantasy 16 review content.
All of which is to say that fundamentally, we need to accept that consoles are mass market boxes built to a budget and capable of excellent levels of performance for the money - but they are ultimatelyplatforms. Over time we will see developers get more out of the hardware, but at the same time, those hardware limits are fixed points and it's down to game makers to choose how best to use the available resources.
Does this mean that we won't see as many 60fps games this generation? That all comes down to the objectives of the developer. We won't see games like Call of Duty or Doom drop down to 30fps. Games designed for 60fps will be built with that consideration firmly in mind. Also, the designs of the PS5 and Xbox Series X are not as lopsidedly balanced as their predecessors were, so the balance between 30fps and 60fps titles overall may skew more highly towards the higher frame-rate.
Elsewhere in this Direct, we spend time discussing the excellent Nintendo Direct and AMD's non-denial in blocking competing upscaling technologies in its sponsored titles - a move that may ultimately backfire as AMD sponsorship becomes synonymous with a growing number of GPU users not able to access better quality features. We also mull over Microsoft's decision to raise Xbox Series X prices.
And of course, what with this being DF Direct Weekly #117 - the Spartan edition, if you will - we spend some time reminiscing about our favourite Halo experiences over the years, and the entire panel are all of the mind that the original Halo: Combat Evolved is one ofdefining console experiences.
