Resident Evil Requiem producer seems glad you rejected the Nvidia AI version of Grace
The story
When Nvidia revealed its DLSS 5 AI tech, players criticized it for how it changed Resident Evil 9's Grace, which a dev viewed as a "positive."
From the source
Nvidia revealed its newest DLSS 5 technology in March. It's intended to make games look more photorealistic, but in practice drastically alters the appearance of characters. People quickly clowned on the "AI slop" tech , posting meme after meme online making fun of how the DLSS 5 can drastically alter a character's appearance. Resident Evil Requiem 's Grace was the unwitting poster child for the DLSS 5 technology, and gamers by and large rejected her DLSS 5 appearance.
In a recent interview with Eurogamer , Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa seemed pleased with how players responded to the situation.
"The fact a lot of players commented they really liked the original design of Grace and didn't want to see it changed was a positive," he said. "It meant we got the design right [and] points to the fact that Grace quickly established herself as a fan favorite, that people had such strong opinions on her design."
