Certain older visual elements of the game feel outdated and clash with the rest of the game

DBD has evolved so much over the years and it's in an amazing spot, but a few of its older visual elements have aged pretty badly and they clash with the rest of the game nowadays. I think updating them would make the game feel more aesthetically cohesive and motivate players more to engage with its older elements.

For example I'd say

  • The Mori animations for the Trapper, the Hillbilly and The Wraith (especially Wraith)
  • The Swamp maps as a whole
  • Myers's 3D model (you can see how low-res it is by looking at his feet when kicking a pallet with the hospital gown) and animations
  • Myers's derpy mask and Freddy's face
  • Myers's Mori as the killer (you see weird blue bars in the lower part of the screen when stabbing the survivor)
  • A select few older cosmetics (ex. Laurie Strode's yellow pants have a very weird shade of color and even weird shape that definitely feels like it comes from a different game nowadays. The descriptions for the prestige cosmetics and the pieces of that bonus outfit she gets when you buy the Halloween chapter are also super strange and badly written)
  • The store background for Laurie has her old 3D model that is not in the game anymore
  • The healing animation

These are just specific examples I noticed personally over time, there might be more. The model reworks that happened some time ago to some survivors (like Quentin and Laurie) were amazing changes that made the game feel more fresh, it'd be great to get some more changes like that

    As for mori animations ive seen people complain the recent ones were too gory lol (even tho thats what most want) and it was nice of them to give naughty bear a new one. But yea several of them are quite simple. The swamp map does have a planned rework im still confused as to when thats happening. The "upgrade" to the new unreal engine allows the improvement of such graphics and adding things in like 2v8 so its possible they are taking it slow with visual upgrades. By now you would think theyd have something better than "healing hands" animation lol. Another oddball thing is how most of the characters butts were made to be as flat as possible to avoid offending people that dont like attractive models, but theyve made new skins which increase the butt size of some characters like megs scuba suit for example. They are also still very touchy about underwear on skirted characters as the silent hill characters have boxer shorts and feng mins/sables latest cosmetics all have slimmer underwear but still jjst a black generic cover thing. Nothing wrong with just putting underwear in the game by now lol
