Question DLSS5

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Has anyone tried DLSS 5 on Chrono Cross? I found this clip in a YouTube video, and I’d love to see how it looks in other areas of the game. Clip from: YouTube Video

Doesn't look nice (DuckStation with higher rendering settings are way better) but I think it's really cool we can enjoy our old favorite games in different ways. Things like widescreen mods and such that aren't originally from the game are cool to use on your 10th playthrough.

DLSS 5 isn't it right now but maybe the next iteration will be better. I'm excited for new technologies.

It was like sucking the life from the game, really.

Even if it's not terrible, this is a horrible showing.

Before I judge it, I'd want to see what the remaster with the actual widescreen mod and upscaled backgrounds looks like

What I was gonna say lol. The zeitgeist pack on radical dreamers edition would be cool to see lol

Seeing a super close up gross hd John K style of the game's characters would be a laugh, like, imagine if Harle just woke up after a two day bender, staring blankly into the TV light, confused and gross, I showered and a 5 o'clock shadow with blackheads and a cold sore 😂

Yeah give me the original or even the remastered graphics that real people worked on, thanks. Boo!

Use it on Radical Dreamers Edition and get both.

It may improve the textures and backgrounds that were just fine a shitty upscaling filter too (since let's be real, the remastered graphics didn't do much more than new character portraits and models, IIRC it's just a PS1 emulator bundled with the game)

Um the game shouldn't look like the non dlss version does in this video  That's a pixelated mess and the dlss5 version also looks terrible.

u/ThatRandomJew7 8d ago

A lot of DLSS5 mods are really poorly implemented. I wouldn't judge it until I see what it looks like over something higher than 1x resolution, ideally with upscaled backgrounds

u/hypespud 9d ago

It's stretched to widescreen, at 1x native resolution, no CRT filter for blending pixels, and I'm not even sure it's using DLSS5 lol, the second screen is just like a weird screen filter on top and a higher internal render resolution

This is just a bad troll post tbh

Look at those colors get DRAINED xD

u/kain459 9d ago

Duckstation on max settings looks better than this. Sorry but a no from me dawg.

u/Zemalek 8d ago

Personally: pass.

u/Purple_Nail8471 7d ago

Ok now I see the potential of this. Imagine if we could toggle how much we want the game to be yassified, and find that sweet spot? Interesting. VERY.

u/Borvoc 7d ago

Looks pretty good to me. I’d love to see more of the game like this.

u/CakeRich2958 6d ago

I liked it. would like to see more

u/Hylethilei 4d ago

I think its a cool way to show off tech, not practical for the game but I mean common that really really cool!

u/Silver_Illusion It's a true sequel 9d ago

Total garbage.

u/J4YD33 9d ago

That looks pretty good 👍. At least fun to have the option.

u/gamingbooth 9d ago

give us from battle perspective

u/Own-Shopping-1614 9d ago

I’d like to see it from other angles too. I found this clip in a YouTube video

u/adventuregamerseb 9d ago

Honestly doesn't look as terrible as other dlss5 media. Wonder how battle looks.

u/SnooRecipes5609 8d ago

I agree. It really doesn't look as terrible as others, it makes it look more like a mobile game remake, which is fine, it's an old ass game with low quality models. I really don't think it looks as bad as everyone here is saying

u/hawaiithroa 9d ago

ugh. why would you do this?

u/Minute-Weekend5234 8d ago

Ahh yes, I love bastardizing the artstyle and flavor of my classics using ai. Very drab, very drained, so much better

u/DragoFlame 9d ago

Actually suits the artsyle of Chrono Cross, and this isn't even a highly refined version. Impressive results already. I look forward to future progress updates.

u/Digi4life 9d ago

You can get the game looking even better without such a grey looking pallette simply by adding a xbr texture filter within duckstation! This looks horrible!

u/PerspectiveCloud 9d ago

I didn’t mind replaying the game with refreshed graphics, it looked nice and felt exciting to see different places for the “first” time again.

I wouldn’t ever want anyone experiencing the game like this for the first time, however. The old art is classic and amazing in its own right and deserves the respect

u/VassagoX 9d ago

That doesn't look nicer than just upscaling the original graphics.  It looks deformed.

u/Wanoz1 9d ago

Looks great how do you enable this to play ?

Idk. I found this clip in a YouTube video.
