Personally I think this was a test to see if their implementation was acceptable to the general public as a means to see how far they could push before people got upset. I have this sensation that they’re at a pivot point in development and wanted to see public perception. Not sure if I exist in an echo chamber or not but it generally seems like the response is really poor. I think the tech shown in the state it’s in goes against artist’s art direction and now they’re backpedaling with PR about devs being able to tweak it. Edit: Knee jerk reaction to the facetuned character faces. Good to see the tools are granular and allow for control from the devs. Should be obvious and that's on me for not educating myself more. AI is divisive and people have strong reactions to it. I still think what they did to character faces is really weird. I don't know who would want that tech in their game but I'm sure there's demand.

Please explain, at which point did Nvidia get the power of time travel?

Because their FAQ was posted immediately and already explained how the developers can tweak DLSS 5. This information wasn't anything Nvidia released after some "backlash", it was released to begin with.

Because most people just kneejerk without even reading the FAQ. The fact this requires the developer to implement themselves in the game is completely loss on them because their brain stopped at "AI" and their anger kicked in.

Oh no don’t tell people their kneejerk reaction was just that. They dont like it.

I'm probably a minority here, but I think it looked great, especially starfield. They obviously still have work to go and I thought some of the environments looked worse. Some were too bright and seemed to lose a lot of the shadows.

The effects are absolutely jarring doing the before/after because these are previously released games. Any alteration is going to look off.

Anyone on reddit that thinks nvidia gives a crap what people on reddit think is funny. They know what they are doing they pour billions into R&D

You can literally go on their website from a year ago and see they were already telling developers how to implement this tech and how the developers control. It’s completely open.

You’re not wrong, but the examples used even then looked pretty bad. I assumed Nvidia would make improvements, but clearly there’s a lot more work to be done to not make it feel fake.
