Episode description
This week, the crew gets completely redrawn on the fly by Nvidia's new AI-powered technology that everyone besides Digital Foundry seems to hate! How do they look? So lifelike, I bet. While getting yassified (and polluting water sources near data centers!), John, Niki, and Lotus discuss:
- DLSS 5 and its introduction to the world
- Why everyone hates DLSS 5
- Jensen Huang's hilarious responses to the criticism
- Saudi Arabia's EGDC acquires 5% of Capcom
- Remedy's FBC: Firebreak gets its final major update; commitment to stay online
- Ubisoft's Red Storm Entertainment studio to cease game development
- Crystal Dynamics lays off 20 despite working on two Tomb Raider games
- Rubato is a 2D physics platformer that scoffs at genre
- Should you play Slay the Spire 2 with a calculator on hand?
- Pokopia is a lot of game
- Funi Raccoon Game asks "what if Super Mario 64 was made by the most online people you've ever encountered?"
- Your Hive Questions straight from Discord, including our thoughts on Geoff Keighley's dad not getting a mention during the Oscars
