New Worms game looking hype though

Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:

Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.

An entire second GPU just to run it.

Makes perfect sense in context.

Nvidia is no longer a gaming company. They do not care about gamers. They are actively DRIVING AWAY gamers as fast as they can, because AI chips are more lucrative than dirty smelly tiny consumer products.

This is meant to show off real-time AI generation performance, which is massively marketable to AI companies. Not consumers. Nothing is about consumers.

Idk why, but this reminded me of the South Park episode where everyone is using photoshop to show off their girlfriends.

Had to make the meme

The demos run on the back of two 5090 GPUs... At what point do we even acknowledge I shouldnt need to be using nearly 2kW of power on a gaming PC on a dedicated circuit in my home? Simply diminishing returns at a certain point and nvidia is bringing us way past that point into very unreasonable territory.

Is it cool they could do it at all?... I GUESS?! But they've definitely lost the plot here.

‘Artists have the final say’

They already had the final say.

New Mario game looks 🔥🔥fr fr

NVIDIA is the AI company now. There's no turning back.

Finally, Gamers™ are getting a filter for all the female protagonists that aren't hot enough. Gaming is healing!

So it uses up way more hardware and power whilst not improving the part of the game were the fun is: gameplay.

What's next NVidia, an AI driver that plays the game for you?!

And this is why indie games will probably have a second golden age.

I get why some people would like this, but Nvidia has lost touch with their gaming market.

AI users are their market now, and this is what they want. This is an advertisment to lazy game publishers/developers like Bethesda.

It doesn't look like the same character anymore. The right side just looks like something AI hallucinated that is vaguely similar. If that were a real person you wouldn't be able to recognize them anymore.

Also, what the fuck do you call that? "Standard Human Face" ?

AI has never fixed shit ever. It always just makes shit up. I wouldn't even use it to remove the Starbucks cup from Game of Thrones, cause I don't know what the fuck it will put there instead. Whatever it "thinks" is supposed to be there, I guess.

"Make it shitty"

I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.

Was able to brace myself enough to skim through the video. Anyone that watches those clips and thinks that looks better has no place working on anything related to visual tech. Not only is the interpolation obvious and distracting, every scene, no matter the time of day, location, or anything else, has the exact same shitty lighting that washes out every shadow and color painstakingly added to the scene by actual professionals. Pro-tip: A white-balanced image is the starting point, not the end-goal. Making every game look exactly the same is fucking terrible, you hacks.

I can only hope this shit only finds its way into the AAAA dross that's not worth playing already.
