Sepreth(@Sepreth):Hideo Kojima says he has “mixed feelings” about NVIDIA’s DLSS 5. He said it on KOJI10, the podcast he hosts with TBS announcer Maoko Hibi, after fans sent him comparisons of the tech running on Death Stranding 2. DLSS 5 uses generative AI to rebuild light and textures. Hibi asked if the game was already ahead of the technology. Kojima disagreed. “We want the actors to look their best,” he said, and added that the team keeps refining the lighting on each shot. “There was a reason I chose a particular lighting setup.” He said he would not want someone changing the original too much, even if the technology will “probably become standard.” “I don’t much like the idea.”
