They overplayed their hand, it's only after the 3d transition which looks worse than most modern AAA game titles... Judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/

Thanks! I did not immediately realize this since I just jumped to the video. Given the state of the art in various subfields in CGI it would have made it moderately plausible the live CEO would have been rendered as well (in which case it would have been mindbogglingly good).

  Given how Nvidia has been with their presentations the last few years, I was entirely expecting Jensen to 100% CGI based on the title. They have a flair for flexing their technology so it would have been entirely on brand for them to do it and then only tell us a year later.

Exactly, they "revealed" nothing, and I'd say the title is misleading...

I was judging the couple of seconds before the transition, and thought it wasn't that bad. Then I focused on the transition, and the jacket lost all the texture. Later I let the transition play through, and saw that lonely character standing there, zoomed away, awkward hand and arm movement, and I cringed. Why put any amount of effort into it if this is the result? Almost pathetic.

It's quite surprising to me that they actually published the press release. With this quality, it would've probably been better to say nothing and let this one slip quietly. On the other hand, there's no such thing as bad publicity, I guess ...

My pet conspiracy theory is that that old cliché is promoted by publicity companies as false advertising aimed at their own customers, the businesses who buy their ad campaigns, to cover their asses regardless of the end result.
