Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

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

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

    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 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.
