We need to separate “tech” companies from videogames. This level of ghoulishness is insufferable. This is not progress in visual tech. This is defacing of an art form by people with ugly souls. https://www.digitalfoundry.net/features/nvidias-new-dlss-5-brings-photo-realistic-lighting-to-rtx-50-series

  • Also, fuck Digital Foundry. Like, seriously. That level of oozing over shit Nvidia peddles is disgusting. (and not new for them)

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place besides everything… I can’t imagine trying to design the scene to look like the creative vision if you have a toggle to change the appearance so dramatically!

  • @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm reminded of that DF Q&A video from a while back where one of the questions was about how things like RTX Remix screw with artistic intent and Alex shaking his head like he didn't think it mattered.

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place I really hope that this slopification of game art will result in more studios going for stylized and unique art direction, just to stand out from games embracing this crap. Makes me want to re-install Dishonored or Bioshock Infinite more than anything.

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place so anyone can soon slopify/yassify any game at the very cheap cost of just a whole nother highend graphics card! 🧟 That's one way to try to increase your sales, I guess... 🤦‍♀️

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place I find it hard to believe that someone would have been satisfied at this and call their creation complete.

  • @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place No one can afford a new GPU right now, and all component prices are just gonna go up. The games that are going to sell in the next 2 years are good games with a strong art style that run on potatoes. Cos very few people are going to buy 2 5090s to play Elder Scrolls 6 lathered in slop.

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place A slap in the face to artists and designers. "Fuck your artistic intent, pore count is the only measure of aesthetic appeal" This has nothing to do with lighting technology either, what are they on about

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place Investors who’ve poured trillions into anything related to so-called “AI” demand a return. Companies are under intense pressure to deliver that return. Many will fail. It means companies will resort to, stoop to, desperate, thoughtless attempts at lock-in in pursuit of profit. I think this latest nVidia news is a play for consumer and game industry lock-in, even though the public smells the enshittification right away.

    @yurisizov@mastodon.gamedev.place It's as simple as Nvidia making lots of money right now, off of the genAI wave, so they're pushing it forward and onto customers (whether it's actually any good or not, and ethics aside) because they want to make more and more money. Everything else is just noise to them. It's very frustrating...
