Resident Evil Requiem producer says DLSS 5 anger ‘shows we got Grace’s original design right’

Capcom producer Masato Kumzawa said backlash to Nvidia’s DLSS 5 demo of Grace suggests Resident Evil Requiem’s original character design worked.

The controversy underscores the tension between AI-driven visual enhancement and preserving a game’s intended art direction.

Nvidia has defended DLSS 5 as a developer-controlled neural rendering tool, not an automatic replacement for creative design.

Broader criticism from developers, including a Respawn engineer, shows skepticism remains as DLSS 5 rolls out to supported games this fall.
