@gamingonlinux Wow, it's wildly obvious now. It did way more than go between what was already there, especially with the face and hair!

@gamingonlinux Look at the water on the ground in the lower left of each image. The DLSS5 version seems to drop a whole lot of detail.

@gamingonlinux What ? Why ? It doesn't even look somewhat interesting like that old GTA V transformation. Just plain worse.

@gamingonlinux since their crappy CG are too expensive it will not work anyway.

@gamingonlinux Just like AI, it looks impressive at first glance... then you start pushing the boundaries a bit and it comes crashing down.

@gamingonlinux I mean, it kind of always was. From the get go it was built on top of ML upscaling and, ultimately, what people call "AI" these days is the rebranding and continuation of this nonsense

@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social I don't like how it changes the color tone. Artists worked hard on color grading for the tone they wanted.

I also don't like that it changes the Resident Evil character from a natural blonde to having bleached hair with regrowth coming through, as that's not what the artist intended.

Some of the shading/lighting looks better though, but I wonder if it might be possible to achieve similar results through graphical tweaks and tricks.

@gamingonlinux if ugly as hell.

[ravenpunk@mastodon.social]

@gamingonlinux I don't think they're respecting the artists vision/direction by having the game with an Ai generated filter?

This looks attrocious. I don't want my games to look like a hyper edited Mr.Beast thumbnail.
