Well that’s unsurprisingly so though, because sprite based and pre-rendered stuff on SNES was peak 16 bit whereas the PS1 was just starting out with 32 bit polygon shit and it showed. N64 routinely did a better job blending polygons and art styles.

Pragmata will always make me chuckle cause it just means “things” or “stuff” in Greek. The demo for it was fun though, that robot girl is definitely adorable and will warm everyone’s heart. Not sure about the gameplay yet but it wasn’t bad. I’ll prolly get it on discount at some point.
No, it's just that A.I. (besides the very obvious ethical issues) looks like shit. Realism in games serves as much of a purpose as more abstract art styles, and saying all realistic games have one look is like saying all cartoony games have one look. Realism has many looks, in movies and in games.
Apparently that AI thing was literally just an AI filter placed on top of your game.
The videos I've watched so far have highlighted just how fucked Nvidia's announcement of this tech has been. Lots of contradicting claims and confusing messaging. I mean, people had to email Nvidia directly to get decent information. Which apparently contrasts how detailed and nerdy their announcements usually are, especially with previous releases of DLSS.
So they're basically doing this just to build hype and speculation, which is the name of the game for anything AI these days. "It's just an AI filter" is not nearly as impressive as "DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI" (Huang, 2026).
Yeah, it's but ugly, and nobody was asking for it. It's not for us, but for those investors to keep pumping into that AI bubble. Imagine how that thing is gonna look if you try to actually play something. Notice how those filters never go over actual gameplay?
Here is the video that everyone seem to be sourcing off of:
So yes, the AI isn't even re-creating the geometry like Jensen said, it's a literal filter
We're going right back to faking shit with screen space lighting. Nvidia pioneered actual ray-tracing and now they want to obsolete it in the name of their AI investments.
Capcom Promises No GenAI In Its Games, But There's A Catch
Players should not encounter anything AI-generated, but the publisher intends to use it behind-the-scenes

Everyone is gonna use AI, it's not going anywhere.
And then a generative AI "placeholder" will end up overlooked and in the final game, Capcom won't say anything until fans catch it and call them out on it, and Capcom will apologize, saying it was a placeholder from early in development that got missed and promise not to let it happen again.Capcom Promises No GenAI In Its Games, But There's A Catch

And the Xbox CEO is an AI director so you know pretty much everything Xbox does will be AI moving forward.

Bloomberg: Nintendo to cut Switch 2 production by 30% this quarter after slower-than-expected holiday season sales (UPDATE)
Making a switch to production
Man lightning really doesn't strike twice does it.
Can't sell switch 2's, but the Switch 1 sold shitloads.
I wonder if people just don't see enough difference between the consoles to justify buying the new one.
Most people can tell a difference flying.But there's really not much reason to get the console, unless you're really into Air Riders, MKW, or DK. The most set of games I have on switch, aren't graphics heavy. So I have no need for a Switch 2.Bloomberg: Nintendo to cut Switch 2 production by 30% this quarter after slower-than-expected holiday season sales (UPDATE)
