I'm completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it's running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.

The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace's face look "sexier" because apparently that's what realism looks like now.

I wouldn't be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they're advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.

These images and press release is not for gamers, but for shareholders to “feel” like their investments are going to pay off.

The starfield demo looks better with dlss5 on, but that says more about starfield than it doesn about dlss5.

Holy shit that looks bad. I was about to say come on guys its not that bad and then I watched the video. There must be no gamers at nvidia because I cant imagine anyone wanting to add 70ms of latency to make their game look like this.

This looks like legitimate ass. RAM prices are through the roof in part because of this shit - we've regressed heavily.

New Worms game looking hype though

damn look at all the free marketing nvidia is getting with the memes. Idk when people will learn that if you aren't into something it's best to ignore it and not generate buzz about it.

This is not good buzz, I promise.

‘Artists have the final say’

They already had the final say.

I think their most gracious implication goes like

‘Artists have the final say’ [for now]

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 5 hours ago

More like the people paying the artists have the final say. There is no reason to think that the art direction that is already stifled somehow becomes less so with a tool that seems hell bent on encroaching on their work.

Is the DLSS AI slop going to lead to homogenization of game aesthetics? That's really fucking lame.
