Overview
- Masato Kumazawa, speaking to Eurogamer on Monday, said the angry response to Nvidia’s DLSS 5 makeover shows players prefer Grace’s original look.
- He declined to confirm Capcom’s involvement in the Resident Evil Requiem showcase and highlighted feedback that reinforced the team’s character design, as director Koshi Nakanishi said the series does not feel obliged to age up or replace established faces.
- DLSS 5 uses an AI model to add what Nvidia calls photoreal lighting and materials, yet developers and players criticized the demo for altering art direction and making characters look airbrushed.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the demos had developer support and argued DLSS 5 gives studios direct control over the effect at the geometry level rather than acting as a simple post-process filter.
- DLSS 5 is slated for a fall release with support reported for Resident Evil Requiem, Hogwarts Legacy, Starfield, EA Sports FC, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which could push studios to set clearer rules on when and how the tech is applied.
