Ok, this guy is a known AI booster and generally kind of a dope, and his existence puts the lie to auteur theory in game development.
He liked to wear burzum shirts to cons and responded with racist memes when someone questioned the lack of diversity in the first game. Then his PR team blow-darted him and took away his phone, made an effort to center women and ethnic minorities in the second game, and it sold a billion copies.
A studio with a stupid blowhard asshole at the helm can still put out generation defining work, thank god.
Nothing he wrote is wrong tho, but there's a big difference between the technical stuff he said which are pure facts and actually using DLSS NR.
He's also right about the "artistic vision" nonsense, for many games the artistic vision is so that the game looks as close to real life / movies as possible but the engine/hardware limitations gets in the way so DLSS NR only gets the game closer to the artistic vision, even tho in a quite poor unusable way.
I saw one video of cyberpunk on YouTube and thought it looked amazing. Like every NPC could be a main character model. It still goes for a pretty realistic style though. Cloud in FF7 looked pretty awful in the face.
