I appreciate the more in-depth discussion and admitting they should have waited, still don’t agree they should have taken audience and developer reaction into account, your opinion is your opinion and is valid if you think it’s great but honestly I’m still going to be more wary of DF’s future output.

But onwards, so something Alex covers kind of covered about the intent of the scene that they didn’t cover because everyone is focused on the face but something that instantly stood out to me is just about the background. He’s talking about the mood of the character about how she’s nervous and not wanting to go there, well the background and lighting also contributes to that in subtle but I think very important ways too.

The original it’s dark, it’s foggy, rainy, with the darkness prevailing over the light, with the gloom of the day is reflecting the mood of the character. The DLSS 5, it’s bright and shiny like it’s just a slightly damp day and the light is going to overcome the darkness at any minute. That to me stood out just as much as the OFication of the character.
