Why don't the devs want the old graphics and movement back?
Does anyone know the actual reason why devs avoid this topic and refuse to bring back old movement or graphics. or atleast some option to enable it if you want it, i don't understand the actual reason, it's harmless

Because there is nothing really wrong with the new ones?
From old footage, while the running animations look more fluid, some others look awful.
Old textures looked awful.
The old lighting was undeniably better (old MacMillan, Crotus Prenn, Haddonfield), so that one I can fully get behind. Others... no.

You go ask an artist to make paintings like they did when they were inexperienced, see how they feel about it.

Remember when you would catch a baby Feng crouching in a corner, then she'd look up at you with those innocent eyes? That animation has gone now. Crouching survivors cannot look up any more. Sad times.

They spend time and resources into the new graphics, they cannot just simply press a button to bring it back.
I agree about the old lighting being way more horror and atmospheric, but the game is kinda not that anymore, wish they kept the fog tho.
The old movement animations are really nostalgic I won't lie, but I don't think they were better, really all I miss is nodding your head while crouched, you can only do so while standing and being still which is sad. :(

I mis crouched looking and nodding, and I really miss the old atmosphere

I feel the animations really need refined on Survivor side, personally. They look really low quality even with the rework, especially a lot of the newer ones.

lighting/post in this game really is rough. i hope the full game gets a nice modern lighting pass.

Hello there, whilst I appreciate the love for the old DbD animations etc, we have moved on from those - it's not that we don't discuss the topic. The game has moved on, there's been many changes made over the years and things have developed a lot and still might develop in the future, but no we won't go back to the way the old animations were, they were far less fitting of the game than the ones we have now.
