A massive technological leap for graphics - and we've been hands-on with four games.

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.

    This was definitely something I predicted like a year or so ago. Richard Burns Rally will continue to be the default rally sim, but they will never bother to update the 2004 game engine. Rather at some point, AI will literally start MITM capturing all the 2004 graphical output and converting it to photorealistic modern graphics that are output to your screen instead.

    EDIT: But yeah, this is such a “fuck your game, fuck your artistic intention, eat our AI slop and like it!”
