Is it fair to criticize Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology?

Have you noticed if Leon looks better with DLSS 5? The latest unveil has caused quite a stir in the gaming world. According to the Thursday letters page, 2026 is going to be a stellar year for video games.

However, one reader expressed their disappointment with the decline of VR gaming. Are you also saddened by this trend? Games Inbox is a compilation of our readers' insightful letters, comments, and opinions.

Who would have thought that the gaming community would turn against it, and even Digital Foundry had to issue an apology? To make matters worse, it was revealed that developers had no prior knowledge of this technology. It was all a corporate decision, not an artistic vision.

As a reader pointed out yesterday, I highly doubt that companies will take this as a hint. After all, there's a lot of money involved. However, it's refreshing to see that gamers are not backing down.

People tend to feel helpless when it comes to poor decisions in the gaming industry. But time and time again, we've seen that publishers back away when they realize that people are voting with their wallets. But let's not oversimplify the situation.

The message is clear: We do not want AI technology in our games. It's up to the companies to change their plans if they want to stay relevant in the industry. It's official, I'm old.

It's strange to think that the Xbox 360 is now considered retro. It feels like it was just yesterday, and at the same time, it seems like a lifetime ago. I had to send mine back twice because of the Red Ring of Death, but I still loved it.

It wasn't just the games; it was the overall feeling of being a part of something new. Online gaming was still in its early stages, and games were affordable enough to take risks and create unique and bizarre titles.

I would also rank it higher than the PS1 and definitely the PlayStation 5. It's a shame that Microsoft got carried away with the success and started focusing on Kinect. But for a while, we saw the potential for greatness from this industry giant.

Who would've thought that the boss of Take-Two would be the voice of reason in the AI debate? He's made some valid points, and there seems to be a hint of respect and loyalty towards the developers. Although it's possible that he would throw them under the bus for profit, at least he acknowledges their role as artists.

This is a refreshing perspective, especially when compared to other companies like EA. Personally, I hope that the AI bubble bursts sooner rather than later. The longer this trend continues, with the AI companies making outrageous claims, the bigger the fallout will be when it all comes crashing down.

If I were Take-Two, I would proudly put a "Not made with AI" sticker on GTA 6. Maybe that will catch on and lead to a shift in the industry. Another one bites the dust.

It's always disheartening to see something that brings joy being taken away. I received an email from Meta, informing me that the VR Worlds aspect will be shutting down on June 15th. I never expected to make friends across the globe when I purchased the headset.

But by joining the VR Worlds community, I've met people from different backgrounds and walks of life. It's a beautiful thing. I will always stand by my love for VR.

It's the pinnacle of what I dreamed of during the '90s. Even though it's facing some challenges, I'll continue to support it and enjoy the unique experiences that only VR can offer. Most of the games installed on my headset cannot be replicated in a traditional flat-screen format.

Any updates on the sequel to Alien: Rogue Incursion? Unfortunately, there's no news yet, but it hasn't been cancelled. If we're not going to see as many new releases this Christmas due to GTA 6, I hope game developers compensate by making more announcements during the summer.

It's agonizing to wait for updates on highly anticipated titles like Persona 6 and FromSoftware's next single-player game. What happened to the new Bioshock game? And what is Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet?

I refuse to wait until next year to find out. Thank you for the Pragmata preview. It's great to see that the game is shaping up nicely.

I played the short demo last week, and the gameplay mechanics finally clicked during the last 18 minutes. I'm eagerly anticipating the full game. I feel like I say this every year, but 2026 is shaping up to be a fantastic year for games.

We've already seen the success of Pokémon Pokopia and Resident Evil Requiem, with Capcom planning to release Onimusha and Pragmata later this year. The buzz around Crimson Desert suggests that it will also be a hit. And let's not forget about the potential Nintendo has in store for us with their Switch 2.

With all these exciting releases, it's going to be a great year for gaming, despite the challenges we face in the gaming hardware and the real world. One last thing, am I the only one surprised by the $250 million bonus for Subnautica 2? I'm not questioning the developer's right to the money, but isn't that more than the game's budget?

Spider-Man 2 had a budget of $300 million, and that was considered one of the biggest games ever. Something doesn't add up here. Perhaps the publisher never intended to pay up, but why even mention it in the first place?

I doubt the developer went into the project expecting such a generous bonus. Have you seen the new DLSS 5 in action on Leon? It's causing quite the stir in the gaming community.

The Thursday letters page predicts that 2026 will be an incredible year for video games. However, one reader is saddened by the decline of VR gaming. Welcome to Games Inbox, where we share our readers' thoughts, opinions, and comments.

Who would have thought that the gaming world would turn against it, causing Digital Foundry to issue an apology? And to make matters worse, it seems that the developers were completely in the dark about it. It was all a corporate decision, not an artistic one.

As another reader mentioned, I doubt the companies will take the hint and stop using AI in games. But it's refreshing to see gamers standing up against it. We often feel powerless when it comes to the decisions made by publishers, but time and time again, we see that our voices and wallets have an impact.

It's a clear message to the companies that we don't want AI ruining our gaming experience, and they need to rethink their plans if they think this is the future. Speaking of the past, can you believe the Xbox 360 is now considered retro? It's a strange feeling to look back on that time.

It seems like just yesterday, but also like a lifetime ago. Personally, I had to send mine back twice due to the Red Ring of Death, but I still loved it. It wasn't just the games, it was the whole vibe.

Online gaming was still new, and there were so many unique and affordable games to choose from. I have to agree with Lord Buckethead, the Xbox 360 was definitely better than the PlayStation 3 and other Xbox consoles. I'd even put it above the PS1 and PS5.

It's a shame that Microsoft let their early success go to their heads and started focusing on gimmicks like Kinect. But for a while, we saw the potential of what they could have been. Who would have thought that the boss of Take-Two would be the voice of reason in the AI debate?

He has made some valid points, and it's refreshing to see someone in the industry show respect and loyalty towards their developers. It's a shame that other companies, like EA, don't do the same. Personally, I hope the AI bubble bursts soon, and we can move on from it.

The longer it goes on, with all the lies and false promises from AI companies, the worse it will be when it inevitably explodes. Maybe Take-Two can set an example by putting a "Not made with AI" sticker on GTA 6. On a lighter note, it's always disheartening to see another aspect of gaming come to an end.

The virtual reality aspect of Meta is being shut down on June 15th. It may seem silly, but for some, it was a way to connect with people from all over the world. I, for one, will always be a supporter of VR.

It's what I dreamt of during the '90s, and even though it may have some issues, I'll continue to use and enjoy my headset. Most of the games just can't be replicated in 2D. With fewer new releases this holiday season due to GTA 6, I hope we get more announcements during the summer to keep us excited.

I can't wait to hear more about Persona 6 and FromSoftware's next single-player game. And let's not forget about the new Bioshock game and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. I don't want to wait until next year to find out more about these games.

Thank you for the preview of Pragmata, I'm glad to hear it's shaping up nicely. It's shaping up to be a great year for games, with already two successful releases in Pokémon Pokopia and Resident Evil Requiem. And with games like Crimson Desert on the horizon, I have high hopes for the rest of the year.

Plus, I'm still eagerly waiting for Nintendo to reveal some exciting Christmas games for the Switch 2. Finally, it's great to hear that Subnautica 2 is almost here. But can we talk about the $250 million bonus?

That seems like a huge amount, even for a big game like Spider-Man 2. I'm not complaining, but it does make me wonder if the publisher ever intended to pay up. After all, it's not something the developers would have expected going into the project.
