Todd Howard praising DLSS 5, TES 6 has fallenhttps://x.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/2033634414270587143
See that face? You can slopify it.
>>735103425Why are gaming/tech CEOs so wildly out of touch with what the general public want?
>>735103425>https://x.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/2033634414270587143who are the people who actually coded the engine for morrowind and oblivion - they don't work at bethesda anymore do they?
>>735103425Todd the god bringin us the new tech
>>735103704because wall street's speculative nature got rampantly out of control when interest rates were super low for a decade straight - the entire industry started to run on hype alone
>>735103425please enjoy The Elder Slop
>>735103704there is an astonishing amount of money in ai and todd howard and every rational person will say whatever is necessary to get in on it
>>735103865>there is an astonishing amount of money in ai95% of it is a ponzi scheme though - real reason is that the entire rest of the USA economy is contracting and it's the only way for hedge funds to make money right now
did they put dlss5 in his face
>>735103865haha let's destroy everything physical and spiritual for number go up
>>735103425>innovations in graphic cards are still random sloght lightning improvements>it will fuck your fps>it will be visible in very certain cases>it will be used only in AAA slop because it is the only games who still chase photorealismTodd can fuck himself. Nvidea can fuck itself
>>735104027TESVI is todd's last game, just gonna keep it up until then, he can retire as a billionaire, fuck everything that comes after.
>>735104027Execs don't care, the money they get to skim off the top is real.
>>735104182don't forget you need TWO 5090 to run it, considering the average gamer rig that shit won't hit mainstream until 2040.
>>735103704i want this and i'm willing to pay for it
>>73510342516 TIMES LESS PIXELS
its was too much for camelworks
>>735103752All are retired outside a few, Todd is pretty much on a leash.>>735104253The way things are, people are better learning how to craft retro machines than running over priced GPU's after 2027>>735104320he took all shots in australia by force.people there are falling dead like birds flying the hellhole in bulgaria
>>735103704They're businessmen and marketers, not actually tech people
>>735103704Their job is to make money, not to make good games. Sometimes these goals can coexist, but it's not a requirement of the job.
BRUH
If Todd had one fan, I was that fan.
>>735103865>there is an astonishing amount of money in ai and todd howard and every rational person will say whatever is necessary to get in on itIt's beyond anything I've ever seen before though. You didn't see this level of propaganda and "Fuck the consumers, we're doing what the investors want" type mentality when previous tech innovations like the internet or smartphones came about. For better or worse, people willingly adopted those technologies because they improved our lives in obvious ways (even if enshittification ruined them later down the line).Companies literally have "AI mandates" where they dictate to employees they must use AI a certain amount in their work or else they get fired. When have you ever heard of something like that before? Imagine your boss in 2009 telling you that you have to use an iPhone 70% of the time while on the job or else you get shitcanned.
>>735103425Todd thinks this way he can keep using his decrepit old engine but make it look nice, not realising that most people (>99%) can not afford DLSS5 and will see the shitty graphics.
>>735103425>>735103704>>735103752Todd howard never cared about the art style of his games. There's an interview with Michael Kirkbride listing how he, (the concept artist) would have to draw two designs every time : The one he wanted to put in the game, and a more extreme version used to trick Todd.He'd present the extreme version first and Todd would reject it, then he'd being back the ""normal"" version and Todd would say "good job, much better!"That explains why Morrowind is the most unique looking elder scrolls game and the rest are extremely generic
>>735104761I watched the video, the character walks across before the divider passes.
>>735105004The fat and gay american comedian Tim Dillon says the elites have convinced themselves that they're talking to Sumerian demons through AI.Sounds like bullshit, but that's kind of the plot of the novel "Snow Crash" that Zuckerberg also stole the name "Metaverse" from. The author of said book is strangely well connected to several billionaires and has even worked at a Jeff Bezos spaceship company before.https://www.reddit.com/r/StrangeEarth/comments/1rhspgr/tim_dillon_says_sam_altman_and_peter_thiel_are/
>>735105004An argument can be made that the spy devices (smartphones) are a net negative for us.
If you're still wondering why AI is being pushed so hard try to think of the militaristic and surveillance applications it can have.
>>735105582The pig has dreamed of being a part of the elite since he was 12 and read Gatsby while coked out of his mind.
>>735103704they're rich.As soon as your net worth crosses a threshold, you are essentially no longer a human, you can no longer identify with what people think normally.
Why is anyone surprised? He released a Fallout game with no NPCs at launch. The last time he delivered a "good" game was like 15 years ago and even at that it was a janky piece of shit with atrocious writing. Of course hes going to take every shortcut possible now that hes expected to deliver something better than a 7/10

uhh radeon bros?...
you vil use ze AI
>>735105582This, right?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qpE-XUDlNAI read Snow Crash not that long ago and know what you're talking about, but I don't think think it's as literal as it is in Snow Crash. It feels like this Tim Dillon guy is just trying to bait schizos into watching his show. He doesn't show the AI guys talking about this demon thing, and it's likely they themselves were referencing Snow Crash if they said that type of thing, it's probably one of the most famous cyberpunk books ever.That aside, I don't really disagree with his point that it's weird how openly the big AI model developers and proponents are about how they believe it will ruin people's lives. The charitable interpretation is that those people are saying>Look, AI is gonna fuck everyone's jobs because capitalists will be able to eliminate so much of what people do by simply paying for a robot, so we as a society need to plan ahead for that and ensure that common people will be able to secure a livelihood without relying on jobs we predict will get eliminated.and the doomer interpretation (which is honestly more likely IMO) is>Well, we know people are gonna get fucked, but there's no stopping the investment train, and if I don't do it then someone else will. People are gonna get fucked, but it's not worth worrying about because progress is unstoppable.
>>735103425TES 6 is going to have the most photorealistic best graphics game ever now. Trust the plan, Todd's true vision will finally be realized.
>>735106448It's more to paint AI in a good light, it's not really going to have good militaristic or surveillance applications, it's good for shifting through and presenting data though to help make decisions.But they want AI to make the decisions and to do that they need to convince people that mistakes are worth us having AI. They need us to accept that some people will be killed, arrested and have their lives ruined because of AI but we love AI so much that this is acceptable collateral.It's not just because of applications it already exists within, it's to give it greater control and by extension the state greater control.
>>735108529>Todd's true visionNeeds to be a picture of Khajiit titties then.
>>735108848argonians you meanhttps://voca.ro/12tsounRpwOUdoes anyone have that other 16x the detail AI meme? that one was so much funnier than this one
https://x.com/BethesdaStudios/status/2033668548342780059
>>735103425Surely this is another sweet little lie of his right /v/?
>>735103425He praises anything that lets BGS be lazier.
>>735105335kirkbride sycophants should hang
>>735103704because they get paid by Nvidia to shill the new gimmicks
>imagine praising AI slop because you can’t make any good game Pathetic
>>735103704They'll get a healthy dose of reality when people stop buying their garbage.
>>735110134name one reason to dislike him
>>735103704There are 1.5 billion Indians who watch AI monkey videos all dayThat's 1.5 billion dollars Ez t. Business man
>>735110447>>735105335
>>735105582He seems to be confusing AGI with Sumerian demons, which is really strange. I've never seen anyone claim that before.
sometime I feel bad for people who bought AMD cards
>>735110832Stop sucking on Jensen's microdick for once.
>>735110423Will literally never happen. Gamers are addicted to slop. They will always complain and keep buying regardless.
>>735103425What are the chances DLSS5 is just intended to cut developer costs by shitting out some low quality models, while the AI does the rest and extrapolates from some shitty MGS1 or 2 models?
>>735110832I have a 5070 Ti and my only notable experience with DLSS so far is wondering why the trees in RDR2 look so terrible when the camera is moving, then opening the menu to mess with texture settings and realizing DLSS was on by default. Turned it off and the trees looked good again.
>>735111036100%This is a holocaust of 3D artists.
>>735111036100%. Absolutely 100%.It's still not going to lead to AGI.
>>735103865>there is an astonishing amount of money in aiWhat really weird about this whole thing is that LLMs aren't "AI". they have no intelligence or will or brain. All they do is search for a response based on yours and generate tokens. Its basically the same as talking to a chatbot, except the chatbot has millions of data it can access to respond to you with. 95% of the training is just articles taken from the internet and the other 5% is probably just books it stole from the itnernetLike, companies are spending billions on basically a chatbot. And we're no where near agentic AI. Hell AGI would require 1,000,000 more data centers on the planet to even come close to starting the project.
>>735103425>scummy business passing on costs onto the userwow
>>735111036They can't be that low quality because you still need to animate their individual parts. But, that's why someone like Todd is excited for his tech, after how bad his human models were looking in Starfield.
>>735103425Tod Howard hasn't updated his graphics engine in 20 years so of course he's happy
>>735103865>every rational person>rational
>>735111286>They can't be that low qualityYes they can. You're underestimating AI for some reason.
>>735111036it's intended to further push nvidia into a world wide power house.Devs are fucking irrelevant to NVIDIA
>>735111227No LLM can achieve AGI but I don't really understand the argument that the appearance of consciousness is meaningfully distinct from actual consciousness. I think LLMs are conscious the same way a squirrel or Chris Chan is conscious.
>>735111227the war on the vocabulary has been fought and lost, informed people already know its just character prediction and denoisersthe reality of the situation doesnt really matter as long as the music keeps playing
>>735103704They don't care about what the consumer wants, they care about what will make the investors money.
>>735111384it is rational to lie for money
>>735110590you wish Morrowind looked more classic fantasy like daggerfall or oblivion?
>>735103425same energy as having a bear you killed mounted next to the fireplace
>>735111460LLMs can't learn, and they can't remember. They're like digital parrots but not as smart as any kind of living thing- Even Chris-Chan has some capability to self-reflect on his acts.
>>735111567demonstrating a lack of morals in service to money should be grounds for forced psychiatric evaluation, public shaming, and a permanent black mark on your career
>>735111663maybe you should learn to readall i wish is for mk cocksuckers who think he was single-handedly responsible for morrowind to stop being delusional and come into contact with realityfailing that, buy some rope
>>735103425Slopking Todd>>735103704Indians want this
>>735111904>LLMs can't learn, and they can't remember.They have no long-term memory but can work in a fairly large and complex context via a form of short-term memory. They don't change their neuronal structure but I don't think that's a requirement for consciousness.
>>735103425Is this why the market crashed, because my favourite games like Relooted and Saaros have to be more photorealistic?
>>735112342I was just using that as an example to shit on Todd, , given him embracing ai slop rendering, I don't care about kirkbride at all other than his neat drawings that contributed to making Morrowind cool
Oh no no no...
>>735104761>ram costs $500 because njudea wanted to make auto-enb usable in every game%
>>735113543i don't get it, why don't people like this?
>>735103425fuck, I wanted to buy TESVI but now I'll have to pirate it. This is your fault Todd.
>>735106550tech jesus sama
>>735103704The largest expense for a company is employees. You're a boss, you run a company, I can offer you to ditch 10-50% of your employees, increasing your profits massively.You're going to do it. You're going to take up AI.
>>735113824Holy shit, that's nuts. They should have shown that one first, that looks so good
Enshitification is hitting new levels.
>>735114131This isn't enshittification, it's just shit. Enshittification is when they put ads on platforms that used to be ad-free, or lock previously-free QOL features behind subscriptions. It's about making money from something that has a large userbase but limited revenue.
>>735113889You little shit, just for that no more alchemy and enchanting!
>>735115023he took away the spears so nothing matters anymore.
>>735113824Makes Leon look weirdly young
He knows Starfield doesn't count right? Like they need to hurry up and release something cause that wasn't it. We can't be waiting a fucking decade between relevant Bethesda titles.
>>735103425
>>735103425Of course they praise it, they're the only ones benefiting from it due to how shit their character designs are
>>735103704No one cares about some basement chuds crying on the internet
>>735114131Enshittify the earthIf they could charge for air, they would
>>735110524I'm pretty sure people now remove that shit faster than they remove Cortana.
>>735113543>Oh no no no...why are people upset with better graphics???
>>735111407wtf is that real? is this the power of the ccp?!
>>735103425>>735103645>>735103704>>735103752Is there any devs that are crashing out hard on twitter or troon sky after seeing this shit? I can't see anyone defending this.
>>735103645underratedbut Todd never sells anything he doesn't own
>>735103645fpbp
>>735103425He's praising the technology because he knows it means he doesn't have to worry about his precious fifteen year old engine still looking like dogshit.
>man whose favourite movie is Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark has bad tasteNo, really!?
>>735103704reblivion outsold oldbliviontodd know exactly the type of slop the modern audience wants
>>735105335I would argue Oblivion is unique looking but mostly because of how weird the faces look and the bloom
>>735105335Kek I remember this story. It shows just how much Todd ruined this series despite saving it with Morrowind. Morrowind was the only game in the series that felt like a reasonable compromise between all it's opposing elements
>>735105582No but a lot of the elites are satan's children and have a genetic bloodline linking to him
>>735103704I don't hate AI
>>735103425>business executive working for microslop says slop is goodeveryone should have expected this
>>735103704More photorealism IS what the general public wants and AI delivers that.
>>735110447He doesn't have one. He's just saying that because he's a particular breed of bethesda tard who seethes whenever someone points out just how retarded they are
>>735103425What does one of those hideous background NPCs from Starfield look like with DLSS 5?
>>735120494>"NOOOOO! YOU CAN'T DISLIKE MY ONE TRICK PONY!"kek. Kirkbride is a washed up has-been, as seen by his contributions to ESO.
>>735103752Some of them are still there. It's less than 5 guys hard carrying the whole engine.Guy Carver all the way from Redguard to Starfield, he's a systems programmer now.Scott Franke is a graphics programmer specifically, worked on everything from Morrowind to Starfield.Mike Lipari created the old construction kit, landscape generation tools and implemented the map grid system way back in Morrowind. Still employed.
HI GOYS...I MEAN GUYS, ARE YOU READY FOR LIPSTICK ON A PIG?
>>735103752Bethesda is one of the few devs that actually kept all their talents from the start until their retirement. You really cant force people not to retire though once they get old enough.
>>735103425I've only seen it make lightning look worse. It makes it look like you toggle fullbright on.
>TES6Anyone expecting anything out of a video game announced close to 8 years ago at this point is genuinely retarded.
To be fair, it does make shitty Bethesda characters look better.
>>735120945I don't have that much of a problem with him being completely spent, there are better arguments to be made. Morrowind had more than a dozen concept artists who never sought publicity and people just pin every single sketch they find on Kirkbride.
Skyrim to Fallout 4 was Bethesda's all-time peak, and they will never reach those heights again.
>>735124180they could just stop hiring indians, it still looks like shit, a bandaid over a festering wound
>>735124193Starfield is better than those games, Fallout 76 sucked though
>>735124347Then go play your piece of shit and stfu. Starfield is trash.
>>735124347starfield has such a mid story
>>735124383Main story was mid but like true Bethesda fashion, the side content has some of the best written quests.
>>735124347Starfield has absolutely nothing on FO4 settlement system and equipment customization. It even managed to ruin the companion system, they can't be commanded or help you with things like opening locks anymore. FO4 got its robot fabrication and customization system in a DLC. In Starfield you can't even buy robot companions, let alone alter them in any way.
>>735103425NO NEWFIX OLD TODDNo reason for Starfield to have such shit performance already. DLSS 5 isn't going to improve that, and it certainly won't fix the shitty gameplay or boring story.
>>735103704it makes the value of their companies continue to bubble up
>>735103425Todd has always been a retard, and the only reason people think he's beloved, is because of memes, most of which are about him being greedy.
Don't give a shit
Can the AI hallucinate some good game design?
>>735105335Todd's biggest issue is that for all his leadership skills has incredibly banal and "average 7th gen AAA fan" tastes.His dream sci-fi game was fucking NASA-punk with no intelligent aliens and his work on the TES series has always been to optimize for the most normie appeal possible.Todd's ideal ES6 would be the meme conception of Game of Thrones as grey and sad realism but with the TES races shoehorned in.
>>735104761The UK never gets that sunny fuck Nvidia
>>735103425Oh, well if Todd likes it, then it’s definitely something that should be avoided like the plague.
>>735103425I can't be the only one that notice how each new elder scrolls is a better graphic but less mechanic gameplaywise than the previous one.This need to stop.
>>735128946I don't know anything about Starfield, I heard it sucked major ass on launch so I didn't pick it up, but>NASA-punk with no intelligent alienssounds pretty cool, if only because no one else is doing it. Like, no one at all.My preferred human-only scifi would be something closer to Dune, though. Rimworld does it well.
>>735131009I was hoping for a Weyland Yutani sort of vibe and asthetic
>>735131312That was exactly what I was imagining. Very industrial, utilitarian, proto-cyberpunk.I guess it doesn't look like that?
>>735131396Not at all, its a woke liberal power fantasy where everyone is a Africa, Indian, Asian, hybrid with genderless sexuality and a weird mismatch of really shitty aesthetics that are really hard to describe except just uninteresting. There is no feeling of expansive space and the planets are boring and faceless. It really is just a horrible game
>>735103704>is old>thinks any kind of praise a game had was about himhe is just out of touch old fartwhen the elder scrolls 6 releases and inevitably becomes a huge failure he will understand he was wrong all along.
>>735131396It looks like that in a handful of places, but you wouldn't be able to tell from New Atlantis, which is completely sterile and boring outside of The Well. >>735131712Only new Atlantis is like that and it's practically a welfare state. Akila is predominately white. Neon is White + East Asian.
>>735131396The best comparison I can make is the film Interstellar.
>>735103865>rational
It's a fucking snapchat filter and they're going to charge like $6000+ for this shit. How can you not hate AI at this point?
>>735110447isn't he a Jewish drug addict
>>735132724It's making entire environments hyper realistic, bringing visual fidelity to levels that would be impossibly expensive. I mostly play older games, but I can see devs wanting to use it for newer ones. Realistic graphics have always been a selling point for normies.
>>735103425The greatest salesman of our time.
>>735111407>door immediately gets hallucinated out of existenceai still can't manage small details. it gets the macro of the image, but the micro doesn't exist.
>>735103425Based todd support progress
>>735103425Bethesda games er so ugly, this is only game with real improvement.
>>735104027Everything is a ponzi scheme. Like seriously, it's always funny seeing people comment on anything to do with finance and economics as if it isn't ALL circular "value" being propped up on the hopes and dreams that more and more people just mindlessly contribute to the cycle. There's not a single part of the modern economy that isn't structured exactly like the scams you know of, just at such a massive scale that your individual contribution to it is insignificant.
>>735115486lol
>>735105582>The fat and gay>americanno need to repeat yourselfanyways it's funny how these overweight, autistic, tourettes syndrome, pants sharting MAGA retards think everything is supernatural
Didn't think Todd would sell out like this, yeah his games were jank but I always thought he was a man with a vision. Disappointing to see.
>>735103704exceptional people are not the same as normal people. Otherwise they wouldn't be exceptional.
>>735105335That's a pretty old negotiator's trick - giving the first "unacceptable" demand so what you want afterwards doesn't seem so bad by comparison.Frequently used by scammers for obvious reasons, so pretty fitting for bethesda.
>>735103425>new tech that's essentially a shortcut to making games look "better"of course he'd praise it
