Capcom Views DLSS 5 AI Backlash on Grace Ashcroft as Validation of Original Design

Story Summary

Resident Evil: Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa states Capcom views the negative reaction to Nvidia's DLSS 5 AI version of Grace Ashcroft positively, interpreting the fan outcry as confirmation that the original character design was correct. Released in February, Grace became a fan favorite until Nvidia showcased an AI-altered version in March, which drew widespread criticism resembling social media filters. Capcom confirmed it uses AI for development but avoids generative AI, suggesting no further changes to Grace are imminent.
