popcar2Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game
BJWAn ocean of hate in this thread… I’m excited for this tech, and hope there’s a way to inject it into classics that haven’t aged so well because they aimed for realism at a time when it was unachievable. Now we can actually see how those games might have looked had they been fully successful.
Off the top of my head, I think this would be great in most Elder Scrolls games, most notably Daggerfall. Almost anything released for N64, with it’s extremely flat textures, or PSX with it’s heavily pixelated textures. Maybe GoldenEye you’ll actually be able to make out other characters from further than 20’ or Final Fantasy IX won’t look like 3D blobs hovering over static, pre-rendered scenes.
I’m excited to replay so many games without feeling let down by my nostalgia filter when actually seeing them again!
Now let the waves of down-votes roll over me like I’m at the beach, for having the audacity of disagreeing with the irrational and incensed mob.
Final Fantasy IX won’t look like 3D blobs hovering over static, pre-rendered scenes.
God, this is such an unbelievably anti-art thing to say.

You. are. mentally. ill.
I’m not just saying that to be mean. I’ve been reading a lot of Umineko recently, and there’s such a beautiful way of putting this: old games look perfectly fine, “but without ‘love’ it can’t be ‘seen’.” You have no love. This is why you are blind.
I’d counter that people who think others must think as they do are mentally ill.
“You can’t appreciate that! It offends me, and therefore must be banned. NO ONE can enjoy it. All must think as I do.”
That’s what the people in this thread sound like to me.
Right, it’s all 1984.
The entire point of art, of human sociality, is to lend your heart out, and be lent one’s heart in turn.
You describing this technology as ‘fixing’ old works you can’t stand anymore is the same as rejecting the heart being held out in front of you.
If you want to use the old works to create something new, that’s perfectly fine, but they do not need fixing. You can’t see this because you do not have love.
