People that issue death threats for shit like this are absolute trash excuses of humans. That said, DF is trying to double-dip here - sychophantically and uncritically hyping a product for the clout/money, and then acting like they still have the credibility to be considered objective critics. What a joke.

I appreciate the more in-depth discussion and admitting they should have waited, still don't agree they should have taken audience and developer reaction into account, your opinion is your opinion and is valid if you think it's great they should and did say it. Honestly I'm still going to be more, maybe wary, of DF's future output, I'll still enjoy their technical performance breakdown but it'll be shaded a bit going forward.
But onwards, so something they kind of hit on about the intent of the scene that they didn't cover because everyone is focused on the face but something that instantly stood out to me is just about the background. He's talking about the mood of the character about how she's nervous and not wanting to go there, well the background and lighting also contributes to that in subtle but I think very important ways too.
The original it's dark, it's foggy, rainy, with the darkness prevailing over the light, with the gloom of the day is reflecting the mood of the character. The DLSS 5, it's bright and shiny like it's just a slightly damp day and the light is going to overcome the darkness at any minute. That to me stood out just as much as the OFication of the character.

I don't know which is worse for Digital Foundry. Did they actually not know it looked awful or they knew it was awful but decided to tow the nvidia's marketing line to maintain good graces with them for future access. I guess I could watch this video but watching more AI slop will makes me physically ill. I think I'm going to just unsubscribe and move on.
