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.

Didn't even open it, downvoted just for that stupid title

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

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

Not surprising since corridor digital is owned by money grubbing techbros.

MAGA money grabbing tech bros

I hadn't heard, that's too bad. Any sources?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well, I had seen them partner with Black Rifle Coffee at some point, which is a pretty pro-MAGA branded company. Their content doesn't seem to lean that way though.

I don't really see the "sucking trump's dick" aspect there. Most of the video is spent going over the legal framework that was being used by the administration with little to no editorializing. And the end of the video directly calls the politicization of the emergency powers a threat. If anything, I'd say the video was critical of trump, not supportive of him.

Not sure I want to watch that video

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

It's not that bad. Kinda pointless, tbh, particularly for a channel that's focused on vfx, but it's not biased like they're claiming.

You clearly missed much if this was your takeaway. Did you even watch the video, yourself? Because it isn't what you say it is.
