I can't stand the new animations

They are clunky and look unnatural to me. It feels like they are missing frames of animation that are supposed to be there. The back is rigid and unmoving, while the legs are too close together and don't swing like someone running or even walking. Between this and the aesthetic horror that is the UI, I can't get myself to play this game right now. And making it worse is the Devs insistence they can't/won't go back to preferable, better animations. Despite the fact that older animations such as healing obviously still exist. I'm sorry guys, its just too much of mess for me to enjoy anything else in the game.

    I don't like them and they, along with this UI, make me not want to play the game. I don't feel like I'm running at full speed, Sprint Burst feels like a joke, I am constantly getting caught on walls in ways I never have before and I swear it's actually slowing me down.

    Honestly survivors just LOOK slower from the killer perspective. I've still been watching the game to keep up with it, and I see people try to make pallets they would normally make before and can't now.

    I didn't play the PTB, but I watched streamers who did. And I was pretty excited for those new animations.

    Then, I played when it came to the live servers... I miss the old animations. I felt better with them. I like the recovery animation while in the ground, but that's all.

    I feel the same way, and I think thats the one good thing have mentioned about the animations is the dying ones are well done. But as that's (hopefully) not the majority of the animations your seeing, it doesn't really make up for the rest of it.

    Honestly,i absolutely love my 4 FPS nod animation so clearly this is the best update ever.

    I quite like them honestly. The standing animation could use some work but running and injured running both look better. Slug animations are much better too

    Injured animation is the weird one. It’s like you suddenly have stomachache and needs to go toilet lol.

    Running is weird as well. It looks like you are jogging in the park, not run away from the killer... The only character whom new animations fit is david...

    Who at BHVR thought this was an improvement? This is change for the sake of change. Completely unnecessary. These animations look straight out of a Playstation 2 game. The old animations allowed for so much character and expression. They were a huge part of what made survivor fun. Again, the devs fail to understand their product.

    Guess we never expected an overall nerf to survivors with these new animations. Glad we asked for those - oh wait we didn't.

    The fact they look bad and fundementally changed how survivors move is really, really bad.

    The old animations look like dog #########. I mean i think everyone knows that and it pisses me off its the tryhard survivors who are catered too that want the old dog ######### animations back because they like the goofy ######### BUT ive only seen a few posts come out and say that.

    I hope through all this the devs listen and really just make the animations even better. If they go back to the old animations i would seriously stop playing as much because it would show that theyre just turning the gane into a dopamine sim for survivors Instead of a tribute to slashers.

    I would revert back to old animations, but I don't think anything like that will happen. Sorry, but I don't really like new animations. It looks ridiculous and the movement is bad.

    They look like they ate something bad and are about to throw up, why not make some scratch mark from the knife on their backs when they get hit.

    also someone should reenact them irl and see the comparison of how weird it looks

    I have to agree with this. The current animations aren't perfect (a bit robotic), but I prefer them over the old animations. The older animations look far worse than the ones we have now.
