@maxleibman@beige.party In my view it's turning unique character designs into averaged out Instagram influencers. I also do not share in the pursuit of realism in media. The more realistic, the harder to suspend disbelief.

@Gargron I think realism has its place. Two of my favorite games of the last decade are Fortnite (super cartoony) and Immortality (every frame of every person involved is a live actor being recorded). Immortality wouldn't have worked if it hadn't looked (in a certain sense, hadn't BEEN) real. But to your point, I don't know that I would have enjoyed Immortality as much if it had been generated to look like that rather than the developers literally filming three movies' worth of material to make it. Like I said, I think DLSS 5 LOOKS better; where I agree with the critics is that I don't know that I want it.
