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.

I agree, but also I see the other side. This is actually a neat usage of AI, it's not slop in my book, it's akin to upscaling.

That being said, those limitations are what drove the original artwork. The artists used those limitations to make the styles and characters we now love.

Master chiefs classic armor was just as much designed my the polygon limitations as much as what they imagined could be done
