Lol dude it so did. Back then, Skyrim was peak gaming graphics. After you've been playing for a few minutes, you really kinda forget what real life scenery looks like. I still compare the forest I live in and snowy mountains to Skyrim landscape, and I always compare the scenery driving north on Hwy 99 in California to the scenery in Fallout NV.
Maybe its me, but in some cases game looks better than AI to me Upd: Thanks for the likes. It goes to show that still even today Skyrim holds up pretty well, thanks to all the effort the game designers, artists put into the game
For me it happens in all cases, god bless you man, i totally agree, we don't need nor do we want games powered by AI. Image upscaling is ok but that's all
AI interprets things also very inconsistently. For example, 1:35 the deer is a rock, and 1:39 the jugs (not THOSE jugs) are candles. Now imagine this in gameplay, when you decide to take a closer look at those candles, and the AI finally realizes that they're not candles and changes them. Also bannered mare is missing so much details, door, windows that it's rather silly.
AI overlay will probably be next in overlay gaming graphic enhancement, NVidia will charge you for it just like they charged for ray tracing and frame gen
@starchaser8656 This seems like a promising technology for overall in-game graphical improvements while using less processing power since only what is on screen will be rerendered by the AI. I hope this is implemented into games in some way.
@@jonathanneal6611 Graphics cards will not be running this, they will be on AI accelerator cards and we will use low end graphics cards just to get a basic video signal or an integrated card on your cpu.
Jarl Ballin looks tame in AI.... remember that he's Lord of the Rings and Lord of the Reefer. He's not a man, but neither is he a boy. He was once a little girl in France.
Haha, when I watched this, I had this short moment of "wait, I have seen something similar long ago". Spot on, that's exactly how the first CD games looked like.
It's phenomenal, and that is a scary thing. The only thing that gives it away is that the skin complexions are too smooth. It also highlights that the movements of creatures and characters are still quite a ways behind in videogames.
its not only me who see that difference between atmospheres. I like more that old version with year 1200 atmosphere. The Ai one have more Renaissance atmosphere.
Hard to believe the replayability of Elder Scrolls games. I have replayed Skyrim more than 30 times. I lost count. It is a perfect game and a perfect environment. 👍
The people look really good, the environment and the other stuff could use more detailing and maybe some snow for the atmosphere? Don't let the Anti-AI people deter you, you are doing great work
I noticed the detailing seems to be removed from clothing an armour, leaving plain fabrics and smooth metal instead of embroidery and engraving. Not happy about the contribution to redhead erasure with Aella looking like an Imperial, but the ferocious wolves into doggos was funny.
While it does need a bit for the environment, its still really good, id give up my next gen graphics modlist for these visuals, even if it caught on fire lol
those of us who are anti-AI aren't just shallow haters. We have genuine concerns. How many people's work were ripped off so we could look at the pretty pictures? Thievery is wrong, even if it benefits you.
Ai Generated voice and AI generated art is morally wrong. Selling the work is even worst and trust me there are faggots who sell their "work" via patreon and even worst steam just allows people to sell thier work with ai-generated content. So get off your fucking high horse.
Natural environments sometimes look really good. For expressive details though, it’s still uncanny. Currently technology irons out important symbolic details like hand poses or how relaxedly or confidently a character is posed. Body language simply disappears. Even on characters stiff as Skyrim’s, It’s visible how many acting choices get lost. That semiotic depletion also happens on the aesthetic in general. Even if every detail can be edited, one person alone with a computer cannot deal with all the aesthetic choices in shapes, textures, movement, light, style, acting, composition. There are too many decisions to be made and every detail has a meaning, every visual aspect it impacts on the mood. I wonder if in the future the technology will allow a team of artists to work granularly on the different aspects of the graphics enhancement.
Here is at 0:41one of the problems with AI. The guard's helmet and clothes are shiny, without a single defect or scratch resulting from real use, as is the case with many adornments purchased in costume shops. The problem is that many new players think that in real life this is how helmets, armor, clothes, weapons, shields and even people's appearance, especially their skin, should look like. And they get furious when someone tells them that this only happens at Disneyworld.
This isn't exclusively a TES problem, it happens in Fallout as well, people often criticize the worn look of armor/guns but fail to realize that even irl they have that look, especially guns, even factory new guns are scratched, i bought a "brand new" FAL and it already had scratches, when you point it out to modders they get really angry lmao
its not only me who see that difference between old version who look like year 1200 and new AI version who look like year 1500. Complete different atmosphere. I like more that old version with 1200 atmosphere.
1:42, This reminds me of the games you would see in the mid '90s when the digital craze took over. You'd often have digital characters superimposed over a pre-rendered background.
I noticed that too, but at least it still thought the basket was an object of some kind. I just like to think its another random artifact Lucan found during another one of his misadventures
Man it looks great, I mean still a lot of weirdness going on, but man I can imagine in 20 years, to install all the mods you want and not to worry about if they can blend together graphically in terms of quality. Cause you will just slap some completely refined photorealistic filter and everything will look phenomenal. For someone as me who is nuts about graphics and dont use a lot of mods because cant stand they are not up the visual level anymore, this will be a godsend.
This. I think people underestimate the power of combining these new AI techniques, to make filters that utilize other real hand made components. The future is not purely AI or human, it's the mastery of both ourselves and our tools, pushing what impossible before into the boundaries of reality.
@@Ristaak agreed so much uproar about ai taking away creativity, not realizing this is how literally every digital art or computing tool emerges. People realize what can be created with it and embrace it as a tool to enhance their own creativity not take away from anything
The "photo-realistic" version seems less detailed than the original version. Everything's too smooth, the perspectives are off, and it's too sanitary. The wolves look more cute than dangerous. All the Nords look alike. Why does Whiterun have Modern Roads? You see any cars here? The Northern Lights are going through a Time Warp?! What the hell is happening to that deer's antlers? There is no Aela, only Lydia. Lydia won the Franchise Wars and now all Female Companions are Lydia.😂
AI is making some progress, but it still problems with eyes. It's like it wants to treat each eye as independent, and it creeps me out when it will have the eye closest to the camera oriented correctly, but the other eye isn't really pointing correctly, and that's very unsettling,
for me, it's really the future of Modding that will finally allow to do more despite the limitations of the aging game engine, which is really starting to set limits for some mods despite the talent of the Modders there is still a lot of work, but just imagine the first AI generated image renderings as it was and then how it became later
As a student of AI myself, getting a degree in it, i really hope games never use AI to make them photorealistic. AI filled NPCs are ok, i totally agree with image upscaling AI like DLSS and FSR or even PSRR but please, we don't need photorealistic games, i would hate not being able to distinct games from reality...

Movements are odd but this game is also like 13 years old. Things have already improved a lot since this game came out
Stray is a good example where animal animations are done well. But ye Skyrims super old it has always had basic animations
