A massive technological leap for graphics - and we've been hands-on with four games.
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.
Leaving aside the question of artistic intent, does this not lead to every player having a different experience? Or maybe even every session? DLSS 5 seems to fill in a looot of details and even changing things. How are they making sure it’s the same for every player?
Yeah, people here talking about how it completely changed the facial structure. No it didn’t, the only thing it did was reshaded the eyes/lips and added proper shadows on the jawline, neck, and hair. The original had over-exaggerated highlights on the hair, thats why it looks so different.
All the rage focuses on faces, and yes, some look rough. But nobody is talking about the environments and textures. I think they look incredible. Old games may have been a bad example for them to give. Games built with this in mind from the start? I’ll hold judgement until I see a game built for this from scratch, not a demo of a 15-year-old one.

I have to disagree. In many examples, the lighting completely changes and colours are exaggerated. This completely changes the atmosphere of a given area.
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.
That’s another thing broken about AI, they just make you look more like a kardashian because they have more pictures on the web than anyone else, it’s just gross tbh
Aside from all the other issues surrounding it, every demo I’ve seen so far is creepy uncanny valley stuff that I found unsettling and wouldn’t want to be playing.

Can I have this for teams? I work with so many ugly people that I need to paint them over in real time 😁
I don’t care if 2 50x somethings need to run on 100 percent half the day.
Is the DLSS AI slop going to lead to homogenization of game aesthetics? That’s really fucking lame.
‘Artists have the final say’
They already had the final say.
Leaving aside the question of artistic intent, does this not lead to every player having a different experience? Or maybe even every session? DLSS 5 seems to fill in a looot of details and even changing things. How are they making sure it’s the same for every player?
NNs are deterministic. Chatbot and image generator implementations just purposely add randomization to make them seem more intelligent.
Just to be clear, this is what you have a problem with: https://streamable.com/j0ryqe

Changed the bone structure of the face and the clavicle.
If claims about video game characters setting standards for beauty, hold any substance, then the same logic should be calling this racist propaganda.
Digital Foundry somehow still praises it 🤦🏻♀️
New Mario game looks 🔥🔥fr fr
Seriously. Can’t wait for that photorealism re-playthrough of the game Journey.

Leon looks like that Russian guy with the massive chin.

This is how they made the Demon’s Souls remake
