@Zombiedelos90s @BethesdaStudios @CrimsonDesert_ Someone who needs yellow paint or shiny highlights to understand what to do or where they have to go. They dropped the game because they got stuck in this area since they had no idea what to do despite a literal hologram showing them what to do. We joked that they need this








Most cursed cutscene in gaming history 😂





@LegacyKillaHD I predicted after the preview that this is one that game journalists will loathe. There is zero hand holding and even at the preview event I witnessed several journalists from big outlets getting stuck in the tutorial puzzle for 45 plus minutes...



Nvidia has confirmed that the new DLSS 5 algorithm is redrawing games based on a 2D image input and motion data. bit.ly/4smPOCx




Resident Evil Requiem uses path traced lighting, which is THE gold standard in lighting accuracy. If DLSS 5 offers more accurate lighting, why is it showing such drastically different lighting results vs path tracing, which is already accurate? 🤔 Is DLSS 5 potentially highly stylising, glamourising or dramatising the lighting for added impact, at the cost of authenticity and accuracy? Again, we're seeing completely different lighting in areas vs a path traced game; shadowed areas now much brighter and more specular, often losing the moody atmosphere you'd expect from an overcast, wet, glum day with low light and a train track overhead limiting light further, different facial lighting with a weird glow around faces too, new highlights on hair, faces etc. My suspicion is that like with faces, DLSS 5 isn't actually necessarily always more accurate, but instead averaging to what it thinks might be, based on its LLM/data parameters. Thus ironically potentially exaggerating lighting in areas, to being less, not more accurate, and losing some artistic value while doing so. Perhaps @digitalfoundry could answer or investigate. In other non path traced games, differences in lighting are naturally more stark, where with games like Starfield, entire shadows from clothing disappear with DLSS 5, like from the cap in this video example.
