You'll have to tell all those obsessed with playing the latest AAA slop in mega-ultra at 531649516782 fps in 4k with ray-tracing so they can see the ultrarealistic explosions. I know a few. The other day at work, one coworker just couldn't understand that I was fine playing a pixel art game on 1080p at 60fps because it looked "ugly as fuck"

Damn, this is so true though. I didnt even think about that, though it really hits the nail on the head. My favourite games of all time are games like factorio, minecraft, diplomacy is not an option. Who cares about realistic graphics. Give me good gameplay.

I know some brain damaged people who would disagree, they don't want to touch VR until it's "indistinguishable from reality".

Consider yourself lucky, that you still enjoy actual gameplay :>

It's a good demonstration that partially-fmv games could leverage this to blend fmv and rendered scenes more if you trained it on your actors and sets. You would need significantly higher fidelity facial animations, however.

For anything even slightly less realistic, ew no.

Oh nothing really, just the green stuff. (I call it the "nv essence")

Wait, they used it on Trump?

Which character are you talking about? There are multiple in the article. And one looks more orange to me post-filter.

Cloud "Marshall Mathers" Johansson.

All examples look samey in the worst way.

Cloud looks like they're transitioning. Good for them.

Shit! Me neither now T_T

I think this is one of the reasons why Nvidia developed this. First it makes it a "unique" feature of Nvidia hardware, where you rely on. And secondly the huge impact in performance, so you are incentivized to buy new and faster Nvidia hardware. I don't see any other reason why Nvidia would develop this DLSS 5 Ai Slop technology.

I prefer it (really FSR4, at nativeAA) over TAA.

Which is saying something since the initial impression was super bad as well

Imagine being an artist on video games and knowing that this is coming. You put intention into your work then a bucket of AI slop is dumped over it before the end user can see.

I think the concern is that eventually it will become required to run some games and used as a crutch to pay fewer artists (eg, using simpler models and textures, then 'upscaling' with DLSS 5). I'm not worried about that tbh because any studio that would consider doing that just makes slop I was never gonna play anyway.
