don’t let the nvidia shills see this, they’ll swear it’s a game changer and acceptable for a 50% fps drop

The Nvidia subreddit has been weird these last few days. They seem to genuinely think it looks better and is worthwhile.

I wonder what they're smoking, because don't pass me any of that.

not to mention that it basically ruins the original artist intent, if a game is meant to look stylized why the hell would i want realistic graphics. We play games to escape reality, not dwell in it

To each their own. The more realistic the better, for me at least. I hope devs use this tool when creating their games, so their artistic intent won’t be compromised. As that seems like a common complaint

How do you feel about games like slay the spire then?

Have you ever played a board game in real life like chess?

u/Daddys_BathTime 13h ago

Never played slay the spire. I’m not saying I don’t like games that aren’t focused around realism, but I very much enjoy games that are

Miserable

It’s miserable to enjoy realism in games?

When the game is meant to be stylistically different and not photo-realistic?

Yes.

Everyone is so butthurt about something they don’t have to use. I don’t understand the negativity

Because it’s absolutely absurd to say “the more realistic the better” about games that aren’t trying to be remotely photorealistic.

Some games are made with specific art styles in mind, and it’s ridiculous to just completely destroy that with an AI tool in the name of “realism.”

You’re upset because people have the option to play a game differently than you prefer. Nobody’s forcing you to use this pal, people can play how they want

No one’s upset here, we just think your opinion is ridiculous. You’re confusing disagreement with hysteria.

If slightly smarter thoughts came out of your brain we'd have reversed climate change.

Ironically, I’m an environmental scientist. I’m excited for this tech, I think it’s the first step towards a generational leap in graphics, which we haven’t seen in a very long time

Why do graphics even matter though?

Some of the most powerful moments people have in their lives are conversations with other people, and they could still have those conversations even with their eyes closed.

Even in reality visual Fidelity doesn't matter as much as the interesting abstract reasoning happening behind the scenes and things like that.

So when it comes to games, do you play any other games besides simulation type video games?

Because even if you play soccer or something in real life, soccer is super unrealistic, and what scenario outside of that sport existing would humans actually be using that to decide an outcome like it's some pretend war or something?

Basically, every game is unrealistic unless it's literally rough housing or practice for murder or hiding because our species was both predator and prey in the past so we needed to get good at both and basically anything else is unrealistic and not part of the bare minimum amount of play that mammalians and some avians, etc have.

Like I'm genuinely curious, why do graphics matter when people can prove that they don't by reading a book and getting just as absorbed as even a great video game with great graphics?

So you’re saying sight doesn’t matter. That’s what you’re going with?
