This doesn’t just affect faces, which often look more detailed due to additional wrinkles, a wider jawline and thicker hair, but which no longer represent what the game’s developers intended. The AI-generated lighting destroys the whole mood in other scenes. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is much brighter thanks to DLSS 5, and the color tones appear cooler.
It looks more detailed and realistic, but it doesn’t look like Oblivion. DLSS 5 shows what would happen if you sketched a game and had a chatbot render it in a realistic style – artistic decisions are thrown to the wind, the graphics of different games are aligned with the increasingly widespread AI slop style.
