Hi-Fi Rush Developer Mocks DLSS 5: "Perfect, Nothing to Complain About"

Hi-Fi Rush director John Johanas sarcastically criticized DLSS 5 after the technology distorted the game's cartoon style beyond recognition.

Hi-Fi Rush director John Johanas mocked the performance of DLSS 5, which altered the game's appearance so drastically that the character Chai looked unnatural.

It all started with a post on X showing Hi-Fi Rush with DLSS 5 enabled. The game's signature cartoon style disappeared, and the main character took on a strange and artificial look.

Johanas reacted to the image with irony:

The developer later admitted that he laughed for a long time at the character's ridiculous appearance.

DLSS 5 has already sparked controversy. Critics consider the technology a simple filter that spoils the work of artists. At the same time, the creator of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, on the contrary, defended Nvidia and stated that the system improves the appearance of his game.

DLSS 5 will be available on September 3. The first results can be evaluated in NBA 2K7.
