    Oh, only a 50% performance hit on very pricy hardware for making automated lighting choices and complete face redesigns that don’t respect the designers’ and artists’ vision?

    What a steal!

      So don’t use the filter on games that weren’t released with it. And you have to use it on games that released with it, because that was the intended artistic vision.

        Real problems like gen AI’s impact on the environment and the cost and accessibility of technology?

      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.

        This feels like motion smoothing on TVs. It’s super unclear why manufacturers put it on since the first thing any same person does is turn it off. This feels like something similar, I suspect most gamers are just going to turn it off rather than leave it on and buy better hardware especially at the moment.

    Cloud looks like Scarlet Johansson, I can’t unsee it.

      Cloud “Marshall Mathers” Johansson.

      All examples look samey in the worst way.

        i mean, we don’t know what the training was like for this version. if it was trained on a limited subset of people that could easily explain why. In future games that want to support this, they could train it specifically on the actor/models they used.

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

        We support Cloud in all their endeavors. DLSS can still fuck off ❤️

    I guess I don’t care. Like it’s mostly for AAA games which I don’t play and for Nvidia cards which I don’t own. And even if I could use it, it’s totally optional. Since it apparently sucks, I don’t think many people will use it.

    DLSS is a plague.

    I guess they felt videogames didn’t look quite enough like soap operas or instagram “models”.

    Thx I hate it

    If the point of the tech was to make Jesse Faden look like an old-aged pensioner, then mission accomplished.

    I’m sorry, but if my wife looked like this in her 60s and 70s I’d be very happy.

    She’s supposed to be 35 in the game. The videos in the article didn’t make her look older than 40. The article is hyperbole.

    Also that Skyrim character look bad regardless of DLSS on or off is not a surprise. Fans probably call it a feature. Just shows the tech isn’t magic.

    Why exactly should I hate it? This doesn’t look that scary to me, I feel like it’s just climbing up from the uncanny valley.

      If you think thats what Cloud looks like… I shouldn’t have to even explain the rest…

        In the remake cloud already looks like a weirdo, he doesn’t need help from DLSS.

    look, I’m not in favor of ai slop and DLSS 5 used without creators’ consent or input is fucked…

    …but another title for this story could be “unfinished, unreleased product deemed not ready for release” …

    Like, you just slapped an unfinished version onto whatever game they had been tinkering with and then roast them for the uncanny valley effect? That’s some manufactured outrage

      fall is a month away, and the last demo they gave required a dedicated 5090 just for dlss.

      • neatchee@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        sorry but I’ve worked at enough companies and dealt with enough timetables to say “unreleased is unreleased for a reason”.

      This tech pops up in the news every now and then and it had this exact problem since the very first iteration. They won’t suddenly fix this now when they couldn’t in the last 8 months.

    I want to see it with Quake

    Control looks great with it, because it has a realistic art style.

    source
    • thingsiplay@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      It takes any personality away and averages out to something that looks like in anything other. And then does not even fit into the art style and world of the rest of the game. Still image are one thing, moving and eventually speaking or making facial expressions together with other characters in a scenery is a different thing.

      This might improve games that were vibed together with Ai in the first place. But not artistic strong and beautiful games crafted by good artists.

      The shots of the background already look realistic, and the shots of her face look like a different person

      source
      • dreamkeeper@literature.cafe ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        She looks like the same person to me, just in her late 30s or early 40s even though she’s supposed to be 28 in the game.

    • IamLost@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Control does look more realistic. It’s not just making everyone into supermodels, but adding imperfections and flaws you see in real people. Whether that’s your preference or not is subjective, but it’s less like an Instagram filter than the last demonstration.

    Cool been waiting for this for a decade

      Oh, idk, destroying artistic integrity? Seems like the biggest reason, but there are probably more.

      source
      • CovfefeKills@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Artistic integrity? That’s absolute nonsense. It’s graphics settings. The NBA game looks like an actual broadcast now it’s incredible.
