Some stuff looks very good, but other stuff looks like it strips it away from what the creator intended.
While Grace in RE looks way more detailed with DLLS5 in that street picture, it also really comes off as an AI picture, but other parts she looks quite good. It really shows that her face is way less detailed than Leon’s face in vanilla RE9. That is.

DF is saying it doesn’t change the textures or add anything, but the AI model is analyzing the face and adding real time detail that’s not there like adding the lipstick on Grace.
The lighting in Starfield is also incredibly bad in the DLSS5 version, as it looks closer to what it was at launch. It’s also giving Lin and Heller the hero lighting that from Horizon Zero Dawn, making them pop out in the scene like they’re under a spot light.

Yeah, you’re right. The tone of the light is different and there’s a spotlight on the characters that wasn’t there in the original image. Almost makes them look as if they’re floating on top of the original scene.
I really don’t like what it did to the RE9 character model. To me that goes over the line from increasing fidelity to changing the artistic intent of what the character is supposed to look like.
Overall this is a No from me dawg.

Came to post this. I saw the Digital Foundry thumbnail and thought they were joking, putting an AI image to show the difference gap in RE Requiem, but it is… real ??
What is this sorcery ?

From the article, the press release makes it clear that it is adding details that doesn’t exist, so it’s essentially a real time AI filter.
If you watch this and think that a lot of it looks sort of like AI, we’re right there with you. DLSS 5 ‘AI Model’ is ‘trained end to end to understand complex scene semantics such as characters, hair, fabric and translucent skin, along with environmental lighting conditions like front-lit, back-lit or overcast — all by analyzing a single frame. DLSS 5 then uses its deep understanding to generate visually precise images that handle complex elements such as subsurface scattering on skin, the delicate sheen of fabric and light-material interactions on hair, all while retaining the structure and semantics of the original scene.‘
Took a screenshot of the Nvidia press release in case they change it.

Sony showing PSSR2 on several games and being praised in the same day NVidia shows DLSS 5 and gets laughed at has me laughing not gonna lie.
Things will go back to normal in a couple days seeing how crazy Crimson Desert looks on PC’s tho
But this AI era keeps on giving lmao
I’ll say this might have potential, but… yea we’ll see

Those future PS exclusives are going to miss out the spectacle. Granted currently looks strange, but the fact is PC will continue to experiment and such.

I think this has the potential to be both cool and disastrous. I would like to see how it does on old games like the OG Xbox, PS2, and 360 games.

Well. That’s a good thing then. It’s honestly the only complaint I have with some of the things shown.
I’m going to call BS on this, the tech generates new images as Nvidia mentions in their press release/blog post, at best the developers can keep it from just making stuff up that’s not in the game(even then, just look at the character models and you can see that it fails at it).

That backlash must have been Epic. People just hate AI.

I don’t know if it was beyond the fact the most upvoted posts are pretty down on it on youtube, but the way everything was presented was clear that DF was lied to when Richard says that it everything being done is being done with the lighting. As Nvidia mentions image generation on it’s own press release/blog post.
As someone who often finds the lighting in Starfield beautiful, surprising, and inspiring…man, just swapping that out to make it look like everything else would make me so sad.

Again, doubt it. We have always been told things publicly that has been clearly not true when someone does a interview down the line, and this just screams damage control because of a likely deal they have with Nvidia.
Edit: Specially as Nvidia already highlighted in their press release, it’s generating realistic AI images.
