AI has been more ubiquitous in the video game industry than many may like, for better or worse, but the latest reveal from NVIDIA might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. This will ultimately affect players’ experiences with many modern games, including Resident Evil Requiem.
Bafflingly, NVIDIA GeForce has taken to Twitter/X to announce DLSS 5, described as “an AI-powered breakthrough in visual fidelity for games.” This may not seem like anything out of the ordinary when considering that DLSS has always been AI-powered, but the video NVIDIA shared of this new upscaling technology shows just how significant and egregious it will be.
Fairly unsurprisingly, the consensus from gamers seems to be that NVIDIA DLSS 5 is abhorrent, much less bizarre. In NVIDIA’s words, DLSS 5 “infuses pixels with photorealistic lighting and materials, bridging the gap between rendering and reality.”
User PlayStation Nostalgia succinctly says, “stop,” while user FPSthetics states, “This genuinely looks absolutely horrible and you should be ashamed of yourselves for even thinking of putting this out into the world.” Indeed, what DLSS upscaling has achieved before is clearly nothing like what NVIDIA proposes it will accomplish now with DLSS 5.
It goes beyond...
