Console Players Opinion On The New Update
I've had about 10 survivor games today. I haven't tried killer yet but I will hopefully tomorrow. I've also said this is a console players opinion because that's apparently what they want.
Things I like:
- Being able to crouch flashlight is really cool.
- The Game and Crotus Prenn looks really cool. Not sure about the balance of them yet but we'll see soon.
- I don't mind the new healthy running animation. I prefer the old one but this one I'm fine with.
Things I dislike:
- Getting downed looks super weird. The pov dropping I'm not a fan of. This includes the flop which I feel like is just really off putting.
- When your getting hooked the pov decides to go to their feet for some reason?
- The UI in general I'm not a massive fan of. I'm looking round the whole screen to try to find information which was really easy to see before.
- When your on the hook it's extremely difficult to see how close you are to second phase and how close you are to dying.
- Personally the colour for exhaustion I'm finding a bit hard to see. This one I may get used to so this is a complaint I may take back later.
- Anyone feel like the hitboxes have gotten worse? It's like the characters hitbox is further behind than it should be. I've had some really horrible hitboxes today.
- Really dislike the new injured thing. Going to be honest it looks just lazy. I swear if I saw that in any other game I'd presume they're dead.
- The Game has one big mistake. Why is Lawrence in the bathroom?! It should be Adam. I might be really dumb right now but the guy in the bathroom looks like Lawrence.
All in all this update seems like it was really bad. On the survivor side hitboxes have never been worse, animations are quite bad and the new UI was something nobody needed/wanted. Probably my least favourite update I've seen in a very very long time.
I don't understand why when the devs do surveys they don't ask stuff like "Would you like the UI updated?" I might be wrong but I swear it's not something we asked for.

The UI looks huge as well.. Like 2x the size of it prior. It feels like the entire display is now UI instead of the game.

It's overall a really bad patch for the game.

I like the new animations but they came at the cost of making the movement feel clunky.

The only problem I have with it is my important info is all over my screen. I got to check multiple corners of my TV before I do anything. Hopefully they at least implement something so we can customize the UI ourselves

I don't mean to be redundant, but I pretty much feel the same way/share the same points with you. Especially about the UI and the hitbox issues going on. Also, I found the running-while-injured animation to be, almost comical. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way to the people working on it, but the way I saw my survivor run injured for the first time since the update, almost reminded me of a way a kid would go crying to their parent... I don't know how else to describe it lmao.

I feel that way too lol. Don't even get me started on their robot standing animation. It's just so unnatural

I didn't know that you could crouch n flashlight. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I really am tempted to try to jumpscare a killer somehow with that particular animation... like, standing on an end of a corner when the killer least expects it haha (if what I am saying is making sense?)

I definitely get what you're saying lol would be funny to actually jumpscare the Killer. I would die laughing

Pretty much the same opinion as most other people,
UI sucks, animations are kinda iffy, Clown buffs are a bit underwhelming, Rip Undying, map reworks are cool but The Game has way too many god pallets now etcetera etcetera.
The Wraith buffs are also a little meh but it's nice to see my og starter main get some love.
Also I feel like my frames are a bit better? Honestly I'm not even sure if there's any difference but I'm not gonna complain.

Btw I might be wrong but is the fov slightly zoomed in or not?

Console player here, been playing this game for years and I can definitely say this is easily the worst patch I’ve ever experienced.

+1 on that

Everything is great on PS5 for except for some minor frame dips in certain parts of Gideon, particularly that room with the stairs on the second floor that allow players to drop to the lower floor.
Was rather surprised to see any performance dips at all on PS5. First performance issues since playing DBD on PS5.

A performance dip on the PS5 means the game has a stroke on PS4 and Xbox One.
The freezer on Gideon kills my frames everytime I walk near it.

That was my concern too. I immediately had a broken heart for PS4 players and XBONE players when I thought “sheesh, PS5 struggling?! Why?!”

The update is alright in my opinion. The UI is annoying since I play on a TV but I can live with it the maps are decent, bar some loops on the asylum that aren’t solid like the greenhouse and the fat shaming of killers in the church. Animations are alright the hotboxes feel off and that I’m getting hits I shouldn’t. But the devs should have listened to what people were saying on the PTB

Well, unfortunately, I can confirm your concerns.
Gideon has several FPS killing spots.
Additionally, anywhere on Crotus Prenn maps that there is smoke, the FPS tends to drop.
