> ML trained on video, applied to gamedev, seems like a matter of time. You could do it right now. Indeed! Photorealistic GTA V using ML : https://www.theverg

  The "photorealism" of that ML demo was vastly overstated. A lot of post processing effects in games are there to (somewhat ironically) emulate defects of cameras: vignetting, chromatic aberration, bloom, flares etc. I think this ML demo got there by effectively emulating a low-res, poorly white balanced, low framerate dash cam. I think those "defects" make people see the image looking more like the output of a real (albeit shitty) camera system. It would be more interesting to see what kind of output we could get at 4K 60fps and properly white balanced.

  not to diminish their work, but it just changes the look of the game too much to look more dreary. I have the suspicion that this happened because the training set seems to be based on Northern European cities whereas the game is set in LA. I wish there was a version trained the engine on LA or at least a city more similar in feel. It certainly would make for a more intuitive comparison.

    They basically made it look like GTA 4
