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.

Final Fantasy IX won't look like 3D blobs hovering over static, pre-rendered scenes.

God, this is such an unbelievably anti-art thing to say.

I'm excited to replay so many games without feeling let down by my nostalgia filter

You. are. mentally. ill.

I'm not just saying that to be mean. I've been reading a lot of Umineko recently, and there's such a beautiful way of putting this: old games look perfectly fine, "but without 'love' it can't be 'seen'." You have no love. This is why you are blind.

    I'd counter that people who think others must think as they do are mentally ill.

    "You can't appreciate that! It offends me, and therefore must be banned. NO ONE can enjoy it. All must think as I do."

    That's what the people in this thread sound like to me.

    Right, it's all 1984.

    The entire point of art, of human sociality, is to lend your heart out, and be lent one's heart in turn.

    You describing this technology as 'fixing' old works you can't stand anymore is the same as rejecting the heart being held out in front of you.

    If you want to use the old works to create something new, that's perfectly fine, but they do not need fixing. You can't see this because you do not have love.
