The Good and Bad of Final Fantasy 16: A Review

Digital Foundry Direct Weekly discusses the limitations of current-gen consoles and how they affect game development, using Final Fantasy 16 as an example.

The article argues that we need to accept that consoles have fixed hardware limits and that pushing visuals to the next level may come at a cost, including compromising performance modes. The article also discusses other gaming news, including the Nintendo Direct and Microsoft's decision to raise Xbox Series X prices.
