    I really like the new graphics, it makes the game seem much fresher to me.

    I love the new graphics, but I will admit I miss the blue tint from the old MacMillan maps...

    Badham is alright, but McMilian looks so far really terrible. RIP

    I am not a fan of the new graphic overal because i think the game needs better gameplay and not better looks. Focus on that..

    I like the new graphics, however I do believe that BHVR should have worked on core elements of the game that need to be refined. Hopefully, Not Otzdarva's community made patch notes will get to the devs.

    I hate it all MacMillan maps look the same now but the worst is that the maps feel way more clustered now and more field of view is blocked.

    I can't for the life of me understand how anyone doesn't like the new graphics, objectively they just straight up look better- I don't know what else to say about that.

    And there's definitely no way that they're going to backtrack on the graphic overhaul, this is something they're planning on doing over the course of a full year and are in the midst of changing as we speak so there's definitely 100% absolutely no going back on this. Not only that, but the game is being ported onto Next Gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox X, so they're obviously making them better in time for that release so everything looks better and it looks the same, at least relatively speaking, across all platforms. So better get used to it, otherwise, I guess yeah quit if you want, but I will say that of all the reasons to quit the game "I don't like how it looks anymore" stands to be one of the dumbest to warrant leaving.

    So I'll chalk this up to the concept that people "don't like change" and that's about it.

    It's not unnecessary when you consider that the game is confirmed to be ported / released for next generation consoles like PS5 and Xbox X. When people buy games for brand new consoles, they expect them to look amazing and the ones that don't obviously are poorly reviewed (with exception of course to retro games and things like that, but DBD is not retro and is a live-service game that is continually getting updates so it has no excuse and is not exempt). Because the game is being released on brand new consoles it needs to look better but more importantly it needs to look the same (at least relatively) across all platforms.

    Yeah true. Dead by Daylight doesn't need excellent graphics etc. I don't play the game for stupidly long grass, that always sticks into your face.

    Meh, its okay.

    I honestly had no problem with the way the game looked before, and I don't really care about changing the look, now. The only thing I'm worried about is the darkening of all the maps. I get that, from a design POV, the lighting is more dramatic/dynamic/realistic or whatever, but I would just rather be able to see where I'm going.

    It also makes the design look kind of low budget, IMO. It's a well-known trick that, if you don't have money for your game, you make everything super dark to cover up where you're cutting corners. That's not what's happening here, but the visual effect is the same.

    It looks cool, but they don't need to take priority over gameplay. I'll take lower graphics if it means the map is better balanced.

    Dunno, I really like it that way.

    Makes it feel very faster and clearer! Smooth too.

    Visually it looks amazing. I can only fear it'll affect performance for some of us who have "decent", not "pro gaming" computers.

    Also, dude... quitting the game just for that? You and me know that won't happen.

    So far, I have liked the changes they made and it makes the maps look better.

    I quite like the updates, however I may have to downgrade my settings eventually, I just really want them to upgrade the facial structure and appearances of the survivors

    Meh, its okay.

    I feel like the individuality of the realms is going away with each graphic update which is a shame.

    Meh, its okay.

    It messes with my mental memory of the maps. I'm used to every map looking a particular way so even if it's just a fresh coat of paint/new breakable walls it throws me off.
