Anyone know why DBD's animations and textures are so pathetic?

The game is a dumpster fire from a technical stand point with more bugs than I can think of and sound design that breaks every other patch, and they can barely get the game to run with the textures they have now imagine if they put in better textures, it would blow up even a good computer.

It depends tbh, if you open up a Kill Your Friends match and rotate your killer I think a lot of the textures look pretty darn good.

But ingame there is a LOT of stuff that looks horrible, especially older parts of the game have this weird flakey paint like textures on Rocks, Trees, Cars, even survivors.

Look at Dwights shirt for example here, or his hands, its almost shell shaded or something, just looks odd.

But again, lot of the newer stuff looks a lot better.

I believe its just mostly a matter of "early DbD" vs "newer DbD". Textures have always been bad, but anything from like, I dont know... Curtain Call onwards, looks fairly decent compared to the early textures. They have revisited textures. In terms of maps, it tends to be a success (Lery's being the prime example). In terms of cosmetics, a bit less (though Kate's hair was an improvement).

Something to note is that because of old textures being bad, one can wonder how old DbD looked better. My opinion, map balance that made them brighter and less foggy, and the several engine updates we have gotten through the years. Both of these things made he game less atmospheric and bad textures became more apparent and out of place.

Small notes about moris, they do suck. But only the original three do; Trapper, Wraith and Hillbilly (the last one being less so). Anything from Nurse onwards, looks amazingly gore-ish. Demodoggo's case is a special case though. I dont know if the reason behind it was because of severing an entire head was way too violent or there was a technical limitation to it. You can argue "But what about Clown and cutting fingers?". Thats probably because a small finger is easier to shrink (Thats how it works, by the way. They cant separate limbs from a model) and it doesnt show the inside of the finger. For Demodoggo, on the other hand, they would have to reveal the entirety of the neck's insides and right in front of the player's camera. Thats both immensely more graphic and more complicated to accomplish.

Edit:

Also, Devs, pls, sync the players' bodies when a mori starts. <_< Stabbing/Chainsawing/Strangling the air has been a problem for a long while.

Those aren't horror games
