Visually, do you prefer the old or reworked maps?

Basically what the title says, don't take gameplay into account when voting but if you want to add something about gameplay, feel free to do so in your reply.

Imo, the old maps were more interesting, especially in terms of visuals/graphics. Way more atmospheric and better lighting. Things that the reworked maps really lack, they look so lifeless/bland now. As you can already tell, i'm really not a huge fan of "The Realm Beyond". For every single map rework they have done so far, i definitely prefer the original. Swamp would be an exception i'm pretty sure, never liked how those maps looked but i'd prefer they just straight up remove those maps to be honest because we all know they're gonna be a pain gameplaywise when they get reworked.

Curious to see what this forum thinks overall.

EDIT: Thanks for voting, interesting results. Finding the old maps better seems to be more of an unpopular opinion than i thought, on this forum at least.

I'm split on this. Some look better, and some look worse.

Hands down the reworked maps look better. They're way more detailed and appealing to look at.

Graphic wise definitely the reworked maps.

i don’t like some of the ground textures though, like on Autohaven Maps.

and to some extent I get what people are meaning when they say older maps had more character/charme/atmosphere. There is some atmosphere missing and I hope they can still add that to the new maps, with better fog for example and I kinda have high hopes for those teased terrain additions!

It depends on particular map, but for the most part reworked ones are better. With Thompson House and The Game being, probably, the best visual reworks to date.

Grass is very bad, to be honest, but everything else is wonderful. The only reworked maps, which I highly dislike compared to the old ones, are Autohaven maps. It just feels like they sucked all soul out of it, made it darker for no reason and changed its green-ish color to puke-ish color.

I like the new ones visually, I just think Breakable Walls are stupid

Most of the reworked maps look better.

I can't stand how dark autohaven maps are on console. But they do look pretty

Old Maps

There are elements of the new maps that look nice, but outside of the main structures, it looks like a barren wasteland full of weird grass. I don't understand enough about visuals to know why it looks that way to me, and I know, intellectually, it's the same items packed onto the same tiles, in the same space, but, for some reason the old maps felt like a place to me and the new maps feel like random objects.

Some need adjustments such as Macmillan (please add more blue) and Coldwind (auras aren't visible as much).

However all of them look BEAUTIFUL.

Off-topic part: Balance has nothing to do with visuals, but most of the reworked maps def need balancing, such as Coldwind, The Game, etc.

Coldwind Farms is especially beautiful, I love the house now. I also really like Badham which used to be one of my least favorite maps in the game.

My one and only complaint with the look of the new maps is the reduction in fog. I desperately wish they'd reintroduce fog so that stealth Killers and Survivors can be sneakier.

Visually they mostly look way better, gameplay wise I absolutely despise almost every single change they've made
