Corridor Digital’s hyper-realistic AI renders of gaming icons like Metal Gear Solid’s Big Boss are hard to look at

    This article is absurd. Corridor made a tech demo to show what’s possible with AI. They weren’t suggesting that it should or shouldn’t be how things are done in the gaming industry, just how it could be done. What sort of smoothbrain neanderthals take issue with a tech demo?

      The title should already give you a hint. “Everybody Hates” is a good beginning to a title for a 00s sitcom, but not exactly peak journalism here.

      I opened it just to see some of the photos, and my browser crashed. The photos aren’t even good, don’t even open the link.

      I don’t think I realized Kotaku had gotten this bad. Yikes!

    The corridor digital video is a interesting tech demonstration, face generation is going to be another tool in the toolbox available for developers.

    If gamers had the ability to upsample their own games, with custom faces, I’m sure some would do it, but I imagine the vast majority would just go with the original creators intentions.

    Thanks for the article link! It was an interesting read

      The real question is how many of the creators would love the ability to put this in their game. Maybe they wished it looked like the upscaled version all along but couldn’t due to the technical restrictions of the time

      It’s like looking into an alternate timeline, where a young Trent Reznor started a J-rock band instead of NIN.

      Yeah, it’s weird. Everything is still in the same place but somehow the eyes looks further from the mouth. He must be melting.
