I’m completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it’s running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.
The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace’s face look “sexier” because apparently that’s what realism looks like now.
I wouldn’t be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they’re advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.



I agree… But they could look better. I’d like to see how that would look, even if it offends an artist to know it isn’t the exact image they originally created decades ago.
My favorite mod for ff7 was when they took the battle figures and used them on the over world. That game had awful geometry.
Ff8 was better. IMO ff9 looked fantastic (for the era.)
Agreed on all points. I just personally see this as one more mod that would be fun to see how it interpreted those graphics of yesteryear.
