    Yeah, but the girl from Resident Evil is actually hot with the DLSS5 filter though.

    But that’s just one character in a bunch, and Realism isn’t a good fit for every game.

        Well that reinforces the point of the critique.

        It invents an intent that may be inconsistent with the original vision.

        E.g. it just assumes girls should all be wearing makeup, which may be very much at odds with the character or the scenario.

      It’s not like anyone can turn it on anyway, thing need two 5090 to even function, and they’re one of those buying all the ram which caused ram shortage, which mean no one can run it well. They’re essentially making a tools for no one.

          I’m not okay with the doomerist take. Remember Amazon Luna and Google Stadia hit huge uptake failures and the latter completely died. Raytracing was vastly overhyped and ended up being turned off by most people, basically becoming a passing trend that rarely gets turned on for some niches.

          GPU SKUs tend not to move around much. The ones used for cloud streaming are built for that purpose (if you ever played Geforce Now, then entered the video settings, it’s some obscure server card). So it’s doubtful they’d have anything “sitting around”.

            Yeah, we currently have issue with server/client latency right now in games why the ever loving fuck would anyone think adding another link in that chain would be better or even usable.

            I have the best internet I can get in my area, its fairly good and above the average but I still have plenty of issues since games are often hosted on the cheapest option often far far away. Hell I was visiting my friend and his son is a big fortnite kid and got to see them rage quit trying to play during update day due to very very bad lag. That is fortnite, the most accessible game I think is currently around.

            The whole idea that these game streaming services are even viable more then 100kms from the streaming location is kinda flawed. We have shit infrastructure and if anything it is getting worse as games and telecoms are cutting corners more and more. This is kinda a silly way to try to sell unsellable hardware and unsellable AAA games in a market where more and more consumers don’t care as much about super photo realistic games and can not afford new hardware. 100% this push to serverside streaming of games is just a thing to sell investors on the idea that their business model is not doomed (it is doomed however).

    My thoughts on this corpulent technology can be summed up by some brilliant thinkers.

    “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.” – E.F. Schumacher

    “The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components of a computer system are those that aren’t there.” – Gordon Bell

    “Keep it simple. A simple solution has elegance. It is the result of an exacting effort to understand the real problem and is recognized by its compelling sense of rightness. I stress this point because it contradicts the conventional view that power increases with complexity. Simplicity provides confidence, reliability, compactness, and speed.” – Charles Moore

        I think they’re not using it literally. In this context, corpulent just means bloated/gross. That is also its literal definition.

        So I think the word works here.

                I have never once read corpulent in my life describing the physical state of an individual, it has always been about over indulgence or bloated or overly baroque style. Not saying it has not been used in a way to describe a fat person but that I am not able to prove a negative.

    I’m just gonna copy & paste my comment from another thread on the topic:

    They don’t care. Nobody thinks this is a meaningful announcement, it’s just another pretense to justify AI as Nvidia and much of the entire US economy are so deeply sunken-cost invested in the “future AI ecosystem” that they just need any headlines to keep the machine churning. That’s what this is. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real and gamers won’t have to suffer with it, but no point of this is actually to make anyone’s gaming experience better in any way.

      I don’t think it’s really aimed at gamers though. It’s a tech demo for what their hardware can do. They say that it was run on a dedicated 5090 which means that to get the same result, you have to be running the game on a 5090 and have a second 5090 just for DLSS5.

      This isn’t meant for consumers. It’s aimed at sectors of the market that want realtime gen AI processing of realtime footage, whether 3D generated or live action.

      I think they’re purposely taking the backlash from the gaming community, which they obviously don’t care about anymore, to showcase the tech to a different market.

    I think the NVIDIA people just saw that it’s «more realistic» and that was good enough for them. And, to be fair, it is.

    But they are so drunk on AI that they missed the inconsistencies, the fake imaginary lights, the impossibility of controlling the result, the random addition of makeup, the fact it fucks up color balance and contrast…

    And the COST !? Two 5090s when most people couldn’t even afford one !? Even if the results were perfect, just forget about it ! No sane developer will spend any money on a feature less than 1% of their players will even experience, let alone enjoy.

      And, to be fair, it is.

      It’s not. The Resident Evil side-by-side is the clearest example.

      You took what was supposed to be a grim, shadowy, grungy, dusty set piece and you made it brighter, cleaner, smoother, and happier. That subverts the whole mood of the game. Now imagine DLSS 5 doing this same kind of work on a shambling zombie or a Licker or William Birkin from RE2. You really want your super mutants and murder hobos to get this kind of glow-up?

      This reminds me of an old mod that got rid of all the fog in Silent Hill. People posted it to joke about how it destroyed the entire vibe, making large parts of the setting trivially easy to solve.

      the cost

      I have a suspicion that they are ramping up to the acceptance of cost-prohibitive technologies in order to eventually transition people into cloud based gaming rig services. I can envision a AAA title that is sold as a service and cannot be run on a reasonable computer

        If this is the master plan, a lot of these people might be very worried to learn about how expansive the indie sphere of gaming is across the whole world, encompassing what used to be AAA genres like 3D survival horror, platforming action games, etc.

        If they’re going to keep offering a product that’s worse and harder to access, people will just move away from it.

      No sane person is going to spend that massive amount of money just to see what AI thinks their games could look like. The people who buy games want to see what the devs made them look like. Not what an AI thinks the devs made. Absolutley no one wants a middleman between the art and artist. As that’s supposed to be you. We don’t need AI there. That’s dumb as shit, and expensive as shit to boot.

      See that would be a cool use case. Games from around 08-15 that tried to do realistic graphics but couldn’t do it do to limitations could use a face lift and if this could be easily dropped into old titles as a filter it would be fine.

      But I doubt it would be so because that’s a reasonable middle ground that still gives gamers choice in if they use it and devs wouldn’t be burdered.

    I’m playing the devil’s advocate here because modders have been using other people’s assets with or without consents for almost as long as video gsme existed. Sometimes they make things of beauty like skyblivion and sometimes they turn the ugly snake lady of the last resident evil into shrek and sometimes they add big tiddies to every single NPC.

    I agree with the previous comment: the modding community never gave a flying fuck about the creative design of games. Hell, often even devs of the game themselves don’t give a flying fuck when you see the “outfits” of some Korean MMORPG.

    Do I think what Nvidia does is smart? Absolutely not. I think it’s hot garbage and I think Nvidia CEO will end up in prison when the bubble pops. But I think it makes little sense to jump on moral high horse to argue against what they are doing.

    To me, the decision on how you want to play a game and how you want it to look is for the player to make and nobody else. You offer me a game, I buy it. It’s mine. If I want to play vanilla, I’ll do it. If I want naked big tiddies shrek instead of Mario, it’s my right. I bought this right.

            you don’t have a point, there is nothing to discuss,

            Nice assumption, too bad its wrong.

            Remind me again exactly who was interviewed in this article and what roles they have in?

                Yeah. Did you read it? I did. Tell me what you understood from the article you read on the precisely WHO was interviewed, because I have doubts on your reading comprehension.

                  there is nothing to discuss about ‘haters’ because they talked to real game devs not random haters on social media

                  read the article, you, read the article, please, go and look what games the devs have made

                  GO READ THE ARTICLE

                  the only person jumping to conclusions is YOU congrats!
