- Most developers were unaware of DLSS 5 and learnt about it with the public.
- NVIDIA claims that it worked with Capcom developers for DLSS 5, but this report reveals that they weren’t even aware of the technology.
- So far, the sentiments of the mass public on DLSS 5 have been more than negative.
DLSS 5 is facing plenty of backlash from the community, as the latest upscaler changes the artistic direction of the game. Nvidia denies such claims, stating that it’s just neural rendering that fixes shadows, lighting, and textures, helping make the result as it was originally intended.
At the reveal presentation showcasing Resident Evil Requiem with the feature enabled, Nvidia claimed it worked alongside Capcom developers on DLSS 5. Now, a new report states that developers were kept in the dark about DLSS 5 and, in fact, found out about it with the rest of the public.
Why it matters: It makes sense that developers wouldn’t know about a technology that alters their original creations into something that looks so AI-cliche.
Inisder Gaming spoke with developers and artists of those studios whose games were showcased using DLSS 5.
Here’s what one Ubisoft developer told the publication:
“We found out at the same time as the public,”
As for Capcom, Nvidia said in the presentation that it had been working with artists and developers on DLSS 5, but this report suggests that’s now false, as they claim they didn’t even know about the technology, let alone be involved in it at any capacity.
Moreover, Capcom has historically been apathetic toward Generative AI, so their involvement in something like DLSS 5 wouldn’t make sense.
However, it could very well be Nvidia working with specific and limited people on DLSS 5. Even John Linneman from Digital Foundry was unaware of their video on the topic and expressed his disinterest.
The report further reveals that developers are, in fact, fearful that DLSS 5 might shift publishers’ perspective on Generative AI, making it more widely accepted.
Anyhow, the mass appeal has already decided its verdict on the technology, and nobody seems to be a fan of it.
