Enhancing Photorealism Enhancement
The number of comments here that are negative is just staggering to me.These images are within a hair's breadth of being indistinguishable from reality. It's an enormous leap. An enormous leap from the previous techniques and an enormous leap towards photorealistic realtime graphics.You don't want your games to look realistic? Go play pacman or outrun.You want to use path tracing instead? You have no idea how much cheaper this technique is. And on top of that the neural network is also fixing up the unrealistic texture work on all kinds of things in the scene.The first games to use this are going to be from small game studios with less investment in the status quo and they are going to blow the competition out of the water.
