  • The Hidden Tech That Makes Assassin's Creed Shadows Feel More Alive (And Not Require 2TB)

    Most of what happens within the video games we play is invisible to us. Even the elements we're looking straight at work because of what's happening behind the scenes. If you've ever watched a behind-the-scenes video about game development, you might've seen these versions of flat, gray game worlds filled with lines and icons pointing every which way, with multiple grids and layers. These are the visual representations of all the systems that make the game work.Assassin's Creed ShadowsThis is an especially weird dichotomy to consider when it comes to lighting in any game with a 3D perspective, but especially so in high-fidelity games. We don't see light so much as we see everything it touches; it's invisible, but it gives us most of our information about game worlds. And it's a lot more complex than "turn on lamp, room light up." Reflection, absorption, diffusion, subsurface scattering--the movement of light is a complex thing that has been explored by physicists in the real world for literally centuries, and will likely be studied for centuries more. In the middle of all of that are game designers, applying the science of light to video games in practical ways, balanced with the limitations of even today's powerful GPUs, just to show all us nerds a good time.If you've wondered why many games seem to be like static amusement parks waiting for you to interact with a few specific things, lighting is often the reason. But it's also the reason more and more game worlds look vibrant and lifelike. Game developers have gotten good at simulating static lighting, but making it move is harder. Dynamic lighting has long been computationally expensive, potentially tanking game performance, and we're finally starting to see that change.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • It's astonishing how the gaming industry continues to churn out half-baked products like "Fantasy Life i: La Voleuse de temps." A complete overhaul a year before release? What does that say about the initial concept? Clearly, they were scrambling to fix a mess that should have never left the drawing board. With over a million copies sold in just weeks, it's infuriating to think that gamers are settling for mediocrity instead of demanding quality. This is a blatant cash grab, not a labor of love! It's high time we stop glorifying these rushed releases and hold developers accountable for their shoddy work.

  • Resident Evil Requiem Was Almost A Different Game Entirely, Until Capcom Realized "Fans Didn't Want It"

    Earlier this week, Capcom shared a new preview for Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth game in the long-running franchise. According to Capcom, Requiem is already on 1 million wish lists across PSN and Steam. But would the number have been that high if Capcom went through with its original plans to make Requiem an online game?Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi shared an online developer diary on Capcom's official siteand revealed that the game was originally developed as an online title. Nakanishi added that the team came up with "interesting concepts" for the game, but ultimately abandoned their online plans when the team realized that RE fans didn't want it. Instead, Requiem was re-envisioned as a single-player game like its eight predecessors.Considering the origins of Requiem as an online title, that may explain why it features Grace Ashcroft, the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from the franchise's first multiplayer game, Resident Evil Outbreak. The story is also picking up the narrative threads from the first three RE games by returning to Raccoon City 30 years after it was bombed to end the zombie infestation. Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • NVIDIA Scores Consecutive Win for End-to-End Autonomous Driving Grand Challenge at CVPR

    NVIDIA was today named an Autonomous Grand Challenge winner at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognitionconference, held this week in Nashville, Tennessee. The announcement was made at the Embodied Intelligence for Autonomous Systems on the Horizon Workshop.
    This marks the second consecutive year that NVIDIA’s topped the leaderboard in the End-to-End Driving at Scale category and the third year in a row winning an Autonomous Grand Challenge award at CVPR.
    The theme of this year’s challenge was “Towards Generalizable Embodied Systems” — based on NAVSIM v2, a data-driven, nonreactive autonomous vehiclesimulation framework.
    The challenge offered researchers the opportunity to explore ways to handle unexpected situations, beyond using only real-world human driving data, to accelerate the development of smarter, safer AVs.
    Generating Safe and Adaptive Driving Trajectories
    Participants of the challenge were tasked with generating driving trajectories from multi-sensor data in a semi-reactive simulation, where the ego vehicle’s plan is fixed at the start, but background traffic changes dynamically.
    Submissions were evaluated using the Extended Predictive Driver Model Score, which measures safety, comfort, compliance and generalization across real-world and synthetic scenarios — pushing the boundaries of robust and generalizable autonomous driving research.
    The NVIDIA AV Applied Research Team’s key innovation was the Generalized Trajectory Scoringmethod, which generates a variety of trajectories and progressively filters out the best one.
    GTRS model architecture showing a unified system for generating and scoring diverse driving trajectories using diffusion- and vocabulary-based trajectories.
    GTRS introduces a combination of coarse sets of trajectories covering a wide range of situations and fine-grained trajectories for safety-critical situations, created using a diffusion policy conditioned on the environment. GTRS then uses a transformer decoder distilled from perception-dependent metrics, focusing on safety, comfort and traffic rule compliance. This decoder progressively filters out the most promising trajectory candidates by capturing subtle but critical differences between similar trajectories.
    This system has proved to generalize well to a wide range of scenarios, achieving state-of-the-art results on challenging benchmarks and enabling robust, adaptive trajectory selection in diverse and challenging driving conditions.

    NVIDIA Automotive Research at CVPR 
    More than 60 NVIDIA papers were accepted for CVPR 2025, spanning automotive, healthcare, robotics and more.
    In automotive, NVIDIA researchers are advancing physical AI with innovation in perception, planning and data generation. This year, three NVIDIA papers were nominated for the Best Paper Award: FoundationStereo, Zero-Shot Monocular Scene Flow and Difix3D+.
    The NVIDIA papers listed below showcase breakthroughs in stereo depth estimation, monocular motion understanding, 3D reconstruction, closed-loop planning, vision-language modeling and generative simulation — all critical to building safer, more generalizable AVs:

    Diffusion Renderer: Neural Inverse and Forward Rendering With Video Diffusion ModelsFoundationStereo: Zero-Shot Stereo MatchingZero-Shot Monocular Scene Flow Estimation in the WildDifix3D+: Improving 3D Reconstructions With Single-Step Diffusion Models3DGUT: Enabling Distorted Cameras and Secondary Rays in Gaussian Splatting
