Chiming in here as I thought I should offer some context given the reaction to this piece.
The chief thing I was impressed by (and this doesn't really carry over in the media we published) is the temporal consistency. At least in the content we sampled (and we had full control over the games, albeit within specific scenes) the imagery was very stable.
It did exhibit screen space artifacts of some kinds (SSR-like lighting for instance generated by DLSS 5 in Starfield), but environments had a level of temporal consistency that I wasn't expecting. It's especially surprising because the model seems to use so few inputs, and runs in real time at high-ish frame-rates.
Image quality is really good. It's certainly DLSS-like. It's sharp, clean, and surprisingly temporally stable. Not saying it beats a regular DLSS 4 game, but it's a lot better than you would expect.
The faces diverge in obvious ways. Lighting is improved, but the correspondence between the original character and their DLSS 5 equivalent is sometimes lost. Humans are very sensitive to faces. I think this is an area that needs additional tweaking or iteration.
With respect to the environments, it seems like there are a mix of what I'd call stylistic changes and changes that reflect a more pleasing portrayal of diffuse GI, reflections, and shadows. These changes seem less contentious to me and I’m surprised they weren’t emphasized more in the press materials.
As a final note, I have been interested in video to video workflows of this type for a long time - IE from 7:47 in this video:

I really see this as an interesting application of video to video for gaming. It doesn't have to be perfect or be everything to all people, and it's optional. At least that's how I hope it's perceived, especially at this early stage where the technology clearly isn't the finished article.

Nvidia's new DLSS infers incredible new lighting detail into games - and it may represent the future of game visuals.

@LifeofaDman 3% of the respondents are insane, I’d rather John Ferguson Jr. return for 5 more years than have Tre as GM for another hour
English

@reporterchris @NHLPlayerSafety Joke of a league with a true joker in charge of ‘disciplining’ dirty players. @GeorgeParros since I know you’ll see this- resign you clown

Radko Gudas gets a five-game suspension for kneeing Auston Matthews from @NHLPlayerSafety.
The #leafs just announced that Matthews is done for the season as a result of that hit.
English

@reporterchris @NHLPlayerSafety If Gudas is half as dumb as he looks, they’re gonna have to speak really slowly and use one syllable words only or it might take 5 hours to get past the hellos, let alone get into the hearing proper
English

Radko Gudas has been given a telephone hearing by @NHLPlayerSafety for his knee-on-knee hit on Auston Matthews, which means they can't suspend him for more than five games.
English

@josephdzita Gudas leaves the ice on a stretcher with no teeth left and his foot facing the wrong way or fold the franchise. Those are the options.
English

Mark your calendars, the Maple Leafs are in Anaheim later this month on March 30th.
Safe to say Pezzetta will be in the lineup again and likely Joshua.

@AnaheimDucks Gudas is a fucking joke of a “human being” (pretty convinced he’s a trash can with an ugly ass face painted on it)

@reporterchris How is it always this trash can shaped Neanderthal?

@abbott1971 @nylanderthews @tavkniesnythews I don’t think he knows the meaning of the word ‘motivational’
Every choice he’s made with lineups fly in the face of that- scratching Cowan for a month, refusing to play Quillan while trotting out that bum Jarnkrok night after night. He’s overrated and fluked into a Cup
English

@dylanmurphy329 @nylanderthews @tavkniesnythews Supposed to be a motivational guy which was doomed to fail here but yes he isn’t great.

@nylanderthews @tavkniesnythews Anyone else sick of blaming coaches for the lack of heart the stars show?

@markhmasters @TSN_Sports Are the young assets in the room with us right now?

Brad Treliving on what he was able to get done today:

Farewell sweet Prince. We’ll always have Newfoundland Growlers Legend Bobby Mac in our memories

The #SeaKraken are acquiring Bobby McMann
English

@CakeMcJabe Crossing my fingers that both Laughton and McMann find their way back here in free agency, but if current management is still around in July, I won’t blame them one bit for steering clear
English

All jokes aside, I hate that we're even at this point. I like all these guys and wish they didn't have to go, but it's what's best for the crest. We were privileged to not be sellers for a decade, but the team has to sleep in the bed it
made.

F Scott Laughton, F Bobby McMann and D Oliver Ekman-Larsson will not dress for tonight’s game in New Jersey for roster management purposes.
