'Claude Strife': DLSS 5 has escaped into the wild, and things are immediately weird
The controversial generative AI tech can look alright when used subtly, but the 'AI look' seems to be inescapable.
Into the Wild is an adventure game released on PC and macOS in August 2024. The title has attracted attention recently for its integration of DLSS 5, Nvidia's latest upscaling technology that incorporates generative AI. Coverage has focused on how the implementation handles the AI-assisted rendering, noting that while the technology can function adequately when applied with restraint, the distinctive "AI look" remains difficult to entirely mask. The game appears to be functioning as a test case for how players and critics perceive this emerging rendering approach in practical gameplay scenarios.
