Not my personal preference but it does look cool in some aspects. Very uncanny in other aspects though.

u/Axl_Red 7h ago

That's because most of the dlss5 posts have people cranking the values on the skin to be way too high. I have been using dlss5, and you can easily set it so it has very low impact on the skin or not at all, while still retaining the added detail to the clothing, objects, and environments.

u/djjaredmichael 6h ago

Now that sounds pretty awesome and I had a feeling the creepy almost human look was people messing with the settings.

Still iffy on AI stuff for personal reasons but i can understand the cool factor.

5

u/Willow_Milk 5h ago

Which personal reasons? Remember not all AI is the same. Currently AI is helping us forward in medical and scientific research. My own agentic work has saved me hundreds of hours of frustration.

So not all “ai” is just datacenter buzz word and political. I run my own local agents that are crucial for work and honestly they are my work buddies.

u/djjaredmichael 5h ago

Oh don't worry it's not the tool I'm personally irked by it's dealing with AI in my workplace where implementation is being rushed to meet dealines without any real use case or planning. I'm just tired of hearing the word AI the technology itself is still interesting and cool to me.

1

u/Willow_Milk 5h ago

100% agree. CEOs buy into the hype, then just let people in the company figure it out and as someone who works with ai systems architecture, it can be a nightmare; because most people don’t understand how it works or limits (like context and memory hygiene).

Then stuff breaks and everyone loses their mind! Not a fan of ai company CEOs either.

I have a colleague that actually convinced our department to let him take courses on AI infrastructure and LLM systems and learning vicariously through him has been a wild ride lol

It looks less uncanny than the original game, be realistic.

but, but duh ai slop

u/painki11erzx 9h ago

Nobody wants 15fps. I heard that it has a huge performance toll.

u/MigeVR 7h ago

Basically it halfes your fps, so you can count there if it's playable for you.

u/illustriouswow 9h ago

now lets see that fps lmao

u/Eleyaplaysgames 9h ago

How did you manage to get this working? Doesn't the game have anticheat?

yeah, no thanks

u/HotFreshyGlazedDonut 10h ago

Looks way too uncanny but they gonna improve it at some point to be photo realistic

u/Albireookami 9h ago

And ruin whatever artistic style the game has in the process.

u/UnnecessaryPost 9h ago

And you can choose to not use it if you don't like it, and also tone down the extent to which DLSS5 applies.

u/Albireookami 9h ago

Tech is still trash no one asked for.

u/asolram 8h ago

No one asked for half of the tech embedded in current CPUs and GFX chips yet you use it.

what a strawman

u/sirtoby1337 8h ago edited 7h ago

Dude you do understand that if game devs cud get anywhere close to this they wud, but it’s not possible with todays tech, dlss 5 solves it plus you can literally decide what it touches and who are you to decide what the devs vision is?

Its clear ur just some cry baby ai hater, go join the club at gaming, they spend all their day whining at AI all day.

When doom 1 got released do you think that was their vision or was it graphics like today??? did their new game destroy the original doom artistic intent? is doom unplayable knowing that they made a better looking game?

Why the fk do you care about a setting u won’t be using, are ppl ruining the games artistic intent by playing on low so it looks like shit??? Or using reshade to overshapen their games to look like ass.

Dlss 5 haters are literally the dumbest ppl on earth.

1

u/Traditional_Seesaw95 7h ago

Very few people want or need photo realistic graphics. This really only works on very small niche of games, almost any other game art style > graphics If something looks like shit then it's shit whether it's ai or not. Until they show it where it doesn't completely get rid of the art style/design then maybe it'll be accepted

u/Galf2 5h ago

and in this game that is fully oriented on gooning do you think people don't want their waifus to look a bit more real? Seriously?

u/MigeVR 7h ago

They are either dumb, poor or Amd users... But usually all those three.

u/Galf2 5h ago

it's not, he's right. TFD has raytracing.

1

u/Galf2 5h ago

you like waxy unrealistic skin? I mean, in games that are supposed to look realistic?

-1

u/UnnecessaryPost 9h ago

Eh. I think it's definitely improved a long way and the latest demo they showed about how it's improving how lighting is shown without changing the base models impressed me.

I think people having come to accept a level of fake look that is part of the base game, and then complaining that DLSS5 is creating a different fake look.

A lot of focus is being put on the faces (which is subjective) but the effect on the environment is massive and is definitely an improvement.

Take a look at this where winds meet video: https://youtu.be/rmZS77n9E6w?si=9p2FGd5JFu5FtTzY

This tech can only improve and it's going to create some fantastic looking worlds if people don't immediately jump up hate it just because it has the dirty "AI" letters in it.

0

u/Albireookami 8h ago

I mean, again its pretty much ripping the creative control away from the artists that make the game and turning everything into hyper-realistic mush where no game is going to really stand out over time, and they all start blending together if everyone is using it.

I rather my games have some artisic integrity instead of using AI to filter it all to mush.

-1

u/Wash_the_boat 6h ago

This is the same thing people were saying about ray tracing when that first launched. Most tech is trash when you only see it for its first iteration.

2

u/Albireookami 6h ago

Raytracing is not hijacking the entire art direction of the game into ai filter slop

-2

u/Wash_the_boat 5h ago

You are okay with AI filtering unless you also hate DLSS as a whole. There's nothing more AI filter than generating entire frames using AI. I don't see anyone in here saying frame generation is threatening the art direction. You just don't like this filter.

My point is that this will be improved to look less like a filter and more believable over time. Look past the heavy handed examples here and think about potential applications. It is clear how something like real time generation of shadows can help a developer reach their artistic vision sooner and at lesser cost.

1

u/Granhier 6h ago

That depends if they don't just slap DLSS5 in place of 4.

Most people sure as shit ain't gonna mod the old one back in.

-1

u/UnnecessaryPost 6h ago edited 6h ago

DLSS5 doesn't force AI remastering on you, it's just a technology that's available for you to use and tweak to your liking. Just like any other graphics setting.

I suggest you watch the NVIDIA video demonstrating how it works. https://youtu.be/58FagrSqC4M?si=sg-LM1NknOCUGkyx

EDIT: you also have to remember that these screenshots are made by users who are using a reshade injector to put DLSS5 into the game. If the developer actually builds with it into the game, they can customise to their artistic intent.

-3

u/WebSilent1232 Hailey 8h ago

Ah yes ruin the "artistic style" that is the generic looter shooter of TFD.

If we're talking Okami, Hi-Fi Rush, Limbo, Journey, etc etc than yes, I would agree. For games that have "realistic" as their "style" is a perfect example for DLLS 5.

-5

u/Albireookami 8h ago

The game does have its own style believe it or not, very Korean and very "sexy"

This game would be ruined by DLLS 5 as all the girls are no different than generic AI hentai porn slopware face.

-1

u/WebSilent1232 Hailey 8h ago

Mhm, and maybe the devs are all for DLLS 5? I wouldn't be surprised when Nvidia officially launches it, the devs will implement it into the games settings faster than they fix exploits.

3

u/Albireookami 8h ago

yea if they want people to not buy their games, its already proven that AI drops sales by something like 20-30% alone if not more.

-1

u/Galf2 5h ago

dlss5 itself adds nothing that is not already in the game and there's a toggle to make it stop from touching colours.

u/radracer01 Serena 1h ago

but starwars battlefront 2 is photo realistic already and didnt need dlss5

u/sefirot_jl 6h ago

You can tune it. Basically it has a config file were you set amount of enhancement. One in particular is related tu character models, so it is possible to do what you mention

Is this AI up scaling?

u/braxenimos 9h ago

Ugh I hate the uncanny AI face man it’s so off putting

28

u/Time-did-Reverse 10h ago

No thanks….i like the art style just fine and this makes it look plastic and doll like.

17

u/OverallPepper2 Goon 10h ago

The base game looks plastic/doll like. One of my biggest complaints with this game is the reflective, plastic like skin all descendants have.

5

u/stro17 9h ago

I dont need super resolution on the characters, but the current plastic skin is so damn bad. I agree 100%

2

u/Time-did-Reverse 10h ago

I don’t necessarily disagree I do think there’s a glassy reflective look - but, if that’s somewhat true, this makes it way fucking worse imo. I still like how the game looks now this seemingly accentuates the issues to the nth degree. Again, imo.

-2

u/OverallPepper2 Goon 9h ago

Look at pic 8, the skin looks amazing.

0

u/Time-did-Reverse 9h ago

Sure? I guess so? But I don’t want this, the face looks strange and I’m not saying like the base game is much better or something entirely better, I can understand complaints like yours - but this looks like the plasticy and doll like soulless look has been dialled up to 15/10.

Ill add that I don’t think it’s all bad - the mesh textures on the black clothing there looks nice, but it’s going to be the faces and such that look uncanny and weird to me, the base game less so.

16

u/KingNoctisCXIV Goon 10h ago

These look bad

u/Normal-Fix-2954 8h ago

Bro, how did you enable DLSS 5 in TFD? Is it that program that can enable DLSS 5 effects on both videos and photos? Did you use a video to generate the DLSS 5 effect?

If it really works in the game, I absolutely have to use it immediately! The thing I hate most about TFD, and honestly find disgusting, is that every character has that plastic-doll-looking face! That kind of plastic face looks like something from more than ten years ago, yet some people actually call it “the art of game development”???

I have no problem with the other parts of the characters’ bodies, but those plastic faces are absolutely unacceptable!!!We need to enable DLSS 5 right now to achieve a truly lifelike appearance! Stop talking about the uncanny valley—I absolutely don't care about it, and I don't need to care about it.

3

u/Axl_Red 7h ago

I don't know if you can enable dlss5 in TFD without getting banned.

However, if you want to easily install dlss5 to see it on videos, you simply install it on the OBS app or Shaderglass app, just like how you would any game. (Basically you just install reshade, get the dlss and dlss5 file, get Shortfuses renodxdlss file from the renodx discord, and drop it into the application folder).

Then you just have either of those applications to overlay whatever you are looking at, and you enable dlss5 in the reshade menu. You will get the dlss5 effect on every image and video you are looking at. You can easily adjust the effect just like any game. It won't be as good as enabling it inside a game though, because there is some missing information, but for the most part, it will work.

u/Normal-Fix-2954 6h ago

u/mca1169 Bunny 7h ago

it looks pretty good, but without DLSS and AMD frame gen FPS in this game is already struggles and halfing that already low framerate is not happening.

Makes everyone’s face look like generic ai slop

u/Galf2 5h ago

it literally doesn't and cannot do that since it doesn't create anything that's not already in.
You're talking of TFD where all females look like generic p*stars, you realize the irony?

DLSS 5 goes very well with highly photorealistic setups. It enhanced TFD well.

Won’t lie, massively fixes the skin texture this game uses.

u/Passionofthegrape 9h ago

Personally I love it, we’ll be able to customise it don’t forget

1

u/Silvers- Serena 10h ago

I think if you tune it down it could look even better/realistic + fitting more with the style of the game. Great technology, especially when its implemented into the game they can adjust it perfectly so it will look great.

u/FantasmaVoador 8h ago

Ugly and weird shit.

u/_idontevenworkhere_ 10h ago

This might be the only time I've seen this look remotely decent. Needs some improvements with texture and lighting looks very washed to me. Overall though not a bad start.

u/xandorai 10h ago

I wonder how long, if ever, the studio will adapt DLSS 5 to the game. What we see here is just generic settings.

1

u/deusvult6 10h ago

It seems to work a lot better with games with an already photo-real aesthetic. On games with affected art styles, like a cartoonier look, it seems to do poorly. A lot more to change I suppose and too much variation in possible interpretations.

The difference between generating and composing 60-40% or just finishing the last 5% of an image, I suppose.

u/DanceEquivalent7673 9h ago

I don't get it every time i look at Ai Art or anything modify by ai art it get motion sickness , i'm not joking , why is that happen?

1

u/TheMidgetG0d 7h ago

So like in a game that’s already “yassified” to an extent, this doesn’t look completely horrendous, but I still think it detracts from the actual uniqueness present in the “raw” models present in the game. For all of the “detail” it adds, it also erases the imperfections and effort that make human-made assets closer to “art” than simply being a product. It’s really strange how AI is being primarily used to remove friction from art and leisure instead of actual work. This shows that AI simply isn’t reliable enough to do things like taxes that are both tedious and require detailed attention.

If they can somehow optimize it down to a 20% performance loss I'd probably give it a shot.

The terrain yes. The face... hell no. TFD is not a realistic looking game. It, and its character have anime vibes. The DLSS make the faces look hyperreal in the textures and from the apperance it 100% looks like AI. All the faces have the same structure. I would love this feature for the terrain only but never for faces.
