I’d rather have my ram and video cards back please. None of us asked for this AI slop bullshit that they keep trying to shove.
Dear companies. Listen to your customers and not tech bros. None of us want this bullshit.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but AI imagery is freaking ugly. I’ve come to instinctively hate the look and feel of it.
Fuck AI, fuck it dead, fuck its corpse.
When your GPU turns your characters into Amber Heard
I just can’t wrap my head around DF’s video, like how can you look at those demos and say almost nothing but good things about it. What a way to utterly tarnish your reputation.
everything is becoming so fake. This is just a new level of Face Filters in our games now.
I don’t know why people are so upset? I love having all art be run through the „standardized and professional“ filter so that as little trace of the intended vision can get through! Can we replace the script, VAs, sfx, and gameplay loops in real time too? I would just prefer not to experience anything that could be interpreted as human expression, you know?
On top of that, this glow up required not one but two 5090s: one that was running the game, and the other solely dedicated to DLSS 5.
In addition to the exceedingly expensive DDR5 and SSD prices end-users are dealing with, you need to buy two $4000 GPUs to get what they’re showing off here.
This is a feature that nobody wants, and nobody can afford, all powered by the same shit that’s making RAM and SSDs unaffordable.
If team green was shooting for their Marie Antionette moment, they sure hit the mark.
Now I want to see Lara Croft with her signature pyramid knockers in DLSS
Can’t wait to not play these games on the PC I can’t afford now because these games exist.
I just „love“ how it completely hallucinates some details. Like, is Grace not actually blonde, now? The AI version suggests she has pretty dark hair naturally.
„we’ve heard your concerns, and we’re going to shovel this shit regardless“ is the response I’m expecting
Is It togglable at all? Or is it purely forced? Or does it differ from game to game?
On a plus side
At least the younger generation relate to gaming and might actually see AI for the destructive bag of shit that it is and hopefully steer clear of the iceberg
I just hope the actions of these companies that have sold out for shareholders are remembered by consumers and they suffer for it, im tired of being treated like a guinea pig in every aspect of my life, these companies throwing away ethics and integrity for coin and then getting away with it, always
My big concern besides the ugly AI look is consistency. Will the AI make a character look different when you see them again in different lighting or if they are muddy, bloody, etc… anything that slightly changes their base look.
You can’t make everyone a ‘Handsome Squidward’ and expect it to be ok with gamers!
It’s okay no one will be able to afford the hardware to dlassify the shit out of everything anyway
Why did this give Grace lip filler? DSL5* is shite.
AI imaging is so „plasticky“ looking. And that is on purpose, it is meant to generate a more overtly sexually appealing image regardless.
I play games for their art and design style, not hyper-realistic uncanny valley graphics. Not everyone wants more realistic graphics, that isn’t what makes a game good.
Holy shit, they did really change her jaw line and lips.
No one wants this AI shit that every fuckng tech company is pushing on us
It’s so dead and lifeless. The screenshots of this that I’ve seen have all looked actively worse.
It did seem to make some nice environmental changes, but the characters are so god awful that I don’t want it anywhere near my games
„Overwhelming disgust“ has a perfect ring to it.
I’d call it deserved, DLSS should have been rejected from the very start but AAA consumers let Nvidia get their foot in the door with fake render resolution and now the whole rendering pipeline is going to be fraudulent.
I don’t get all the blowback. Frankly, the quest for photorealistic games has always lacked some artistry and character, so this is no different in my opinion. All of these photorealistic games kinda look bad because they get close to realism, but they aren’t there yet. Personally, I don’t think the befores look so amazing to be bashing the afters.
I’d like to see more game developers embrace exaggerated features and movements that embrace the imperfect reality that can be generated. Illustrators/animators are masters of making something look remarkably familiar while staying far away from photorealism. Focus should be more about making movements and expressions fluid, and less about textures.
The „DLSS 5 On“ image looks freaking awful, especially when you see what it’s done to the actual 3D scene, and this is what they chose to advertise this with?
It genuinely looks so bad. Apparently needs two 5090s to run too lmao
Like, why would you want to spend so much money to make your games look worse and inconsistent??
„Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to giant middle finger from industry actively decimating their hobby.“
If the market hadn’t been so utterly destroyed to make something so divisive this would have been treated with little more disdain than any existing post-processor filters. But tweaking contrast, adding bloom, injecting SMAA, or even rendering as text didn’t increase the cost of GPUs, RAM, and storage multiple times over – then ask you to buy twice as much of it to even make it viable.
I really don’t get the fuss. I was pretty blown away by it. It’s changing the lighting. That’s the majority of what’s going on.
Nvidia has been banging the „full neural rendering“ drum for years now. They have repeatedly stated that their goal is to get to that „DLSS On“ image without needing the „DLSS Off“ image to ever exist.
Remember, this DLSS reveal was marketing material meant to show the technology **in the best possible light.** Classic bullshots. In practice this slop can and may look much, much worse for end users.
They will continue forcing AI slop garbage on us until we learn what’s good for us and we take the medicine. Consumer sentiment, markets, and demand be damned. The tech oligarchs are here and they will determine what you want and don’t want, what you can and can’t own, and what media you can have access to.
That DLSS5 showcase is a debuff to Grace
The first one is atmospheric. the 2nd one looks like it’s from a noir parody.
This feels like when every television started shipping with „Motion Judder“ to make LCD’s seem better, but ended up turning all content into weird shitty soap opera feels.
It’s utter garbage that no one wants
Losing our ability to build and own our own PC’s so that grandma can make a picture of herself with Elvis and we can get this AI slop shoveled down our throats instead….
That fist example they used looks AWFUL.
It’s just like, an AI slop filter for your games. It looks like shit, and is a waste of resources.
The chase of hyper realism in video games is really hurting video games. We don’t get games that have a solid look to them like even what I’ve seen of the rumored jet set radio game doesn’t even look like jet set radio. It leans more in to realism than stylized. They push more for the look over locking in a amazing game with a good story and gameplay.
