One of the things i felt when i first started playing dbd back in 2017 was that, in every match, the maps were like walking around a dream, or in that case, a nightmare. The edges of the maps where you could hear something screaming behind that walls, or the sounds of the animals near the tree in the coldwind farm where you can literally SEE them death. That was scary asf. Because, if you look at the estructures, the buildings, the fog around, all of that felt out of place. Once you read the lore of the game you get that those places in fact, aren't real. Those places are created by a cosmic-horror creature to make feel survivors pure fear. Yeah, new maps are cool and all, but i that feeling is gone for me.
I like how it is now, it's alot more polished looking. Sure It was spookier back then but it gave you a migraine to look at because of such the heavy hue. They tried to add the heavy hue back in the decimated borgo realm when it first released but they had to change it cuz too many people complained about it. Overall it looked scarier but it doesn't really have a place in modern dbd anymore
@@grimmtherapist yes, but the main 2 complaints that made the decimated borgo change was how hard it was to track on, and how much of a migraine it gave people
I’ve made a post on the DBD forum asking for a client side official mod pack that would bring back these old lightings/atmospheres and even the old survivor movements. Call me blinded by nostalgia but I really miss these old graphics
I don’t think it was the graphics that players miss but lighting of the maps. I’m pretty sure if we got the same lighting then people would be more happy
I feel like DBD was forced to change the graphics in one way or another, because sure, the old worn out and gritty graphics from the past gave the game more of an horror vibe to it and while I'm a fan of them, I feel like they wouldn't survive the test of time, modern DBD just looks more appealing to new players, it's colorful and cleaner which can lure some more potential audience, and besides let's not forget that DBD isn't a 10000% horror game from top to bottom, it intended to be one in the past, sure I'm not taking away that, and still is a horror game at heart but the modern DBD is just the super smash bros of horror.
That is no excuse for changing coldwind into broad daylight in the sun and that’s the way i feel about many maps. I understand that you wamt the game to look modern and such but it feels like the whole creative vision changed
@@Queeblo002 Honestly I miss the old version the atmosphere was just so much more on point for my tastes. But best of all I could actually see the damn auras from my perks, now I can barely see them on that realm half the time and have to do double takes when looking for them.
I miss the old DBD graphics. The game had such a great atmosphere and was indeed scary back then, but now... everything is so bright and the game is not scary at all anymore.
I still think it's silly that Killers are supposed to be so attuned to the dark that shining a flashlight in their eyes blinds them, and yet we have a bunch of daytime maps now that are bright enough that no flashlight beam should even be visible.
I think its more likely BHVR simply fell into the same trap every other studio does. They didn't know how to manipulate the new engine values so they compromised with a new aesthetic. You would be surprised how many developers are utterly clueless on how to get the actual visual look they want when they are using an engine they did not create themselves, and engine updates are beyond their control.
I think the only map I absolutely hate is coldwin. The coldwin farm maps were the first introduction to the game for me and it genuinely creeped me out. You could tell something bad happened there and since we didn't get as much lore back then it really added to the wonder of the map and Hillbilly. Now it just feels like we are just on some random run down farm( in the middle of the day for some fucking reason) and it lost all the atmosphere to me. It could just be nostalgia but I still think what they did was a travesty.
the textures may have updated, but the atmosphere which made Dbd unique and special has been lost. The lighting, the use of fog without making it TOO dark, all of it added up to make Dbd a place of wonder/mystery. Now its too clean, crisp and just feels too bland and generic.
The problem is, BHVR has tried to bring back that atmosphere with Knight's Borgo. People hated it The community will always complain, it's just nostalgia for most
They need to work on a Day and Night Mode with different weather conditions like thunderstorm , fog , rain , snow , just different versions of each map with different colorways
Bro seriously they will need to rework the maps once again after some years due to next gen graphics this will never stop its an never ending loop old dbd maps should have been always their
They can't update the graphic as long Switch version exist. They should get rid of old gen (Switch, Ps4 and xboxone) and only Support next gen and PC maybe they do it one day when Switch 2 release
They can update the graphics all they want , but we’ll never have the overall aesthetic and feel of original dbd , from its dark monochrome lighting to its watercolor shading , it was utterly unique
Hey Sasho! Been watching your channel since the start and I love your content! I have a fun little idea for a video.. SKY BILLY! Please let people know about this beautiful creature who used to soar through the sky and leave survivors in awe! Take care ❤
I started playing dbd in 2023 so im not nostalgic about something i did not experience However i feel like the old lighting could absolutely be brought back to add to the horror experience
Storde was the most jarring when it came to graphical changes and layout. Swamp is still the same, but I'm sure they're gonna change it next year. I like how crisp and clean the new maps.look, but they don't feel eerie at all. They just feel like maps that could be from any kind of game. They should definitely change the lighting.
At least, the last maps seems to go a bit more in the old art direction : Greenville Square, new borgo's lighting and in a way, even Nostromo Wresckage are much darker than previous maps (Toba's landing, Garden of Pain, Eyrie of crows... ), so hopefully, they will keep that trend to have at least night time maps.
I mean i would love to have a style setting that uses the old style but in current gen, So not going back to old graphics But lighting and maybe some effects and improved run down textures pretty much.
I honestly prefer old HUD, old creepy ambience and old maps (except Haddonfield, fuck you Haddonfield) and old idle animations Everything else is good as it is now idc
I don't know what most people are complaining about in the Comments. I play DbD since 2017 and went through almost every change. Yes the old Graphics and Lighting had it's own unique Charme. But DbD went from Game that was supposed to Launch as an Indie Game and was Build up like that, to a Game that can hold up with all other Live Service Games. It went through rough times to a well know and respected Title. All Change that have been implemented, been the right choices in the End and DbD is more Fun to play like ever before.
I think a lot of the issue on why its not dark anymore (and moonlight offerings were taken away) was visibility issues, pretty hard on killer looking for survivors, which isnt so bad if not for the fact that killer doesnt have the same advantage with that damn red stain pinpointing exactly where they are
I like how they upgrade the overall look for all maps, but why do they keep adding more and more garbage and collision stuff on the ground? It's hard to run, make pathing, for killers like Blight and Billy, for using killers power, everything. I get that maybe they want to make it more atmospheric, but god damn this is pissing me off. And they make maps so small also. My fav maps are the old OG ones, cause even after graphics updates they don't have that much clutter laying everywhere lol
I started to play dbd back in 2017 january, and I am trying to like current dbd, but every time I see these old graphics, movements, I believe that it's impossible to accept current dbd if you have played it since 2016-2018
For anyone saying that the old graphics wouldn't have passed the test of time, I had recently brought 4 new players to the game and after they got familiarized to the game, I showed them some footage of old DBD and they all said that they would have liked the old graphics to still be in the game due to the immersiveness provided by the old graphics and especially the lighting of the maps, namely Ormond, Autoheaven, MacMillan and Coldwind, which were modified the most
I miss original autohaven and mcmilan with coldwind New autohaven have bad color settings, without reshade game too dark and too bright in same time, mcmilan lost their identity, and coldwind… i hate it, i cant see on this map
what a shame dbd 2016 looked better then now, sad they ruined the visuals of dbd and gameplay to, 2016 was 10x better balance and looks, now the game looks like a pice of garbage
If you say that 2016 was better balance wise it makes no sense, gameplay was a mess back then, nurse with 6 blinks, all killers were at the mercy of map rng, bugs everywhere. Trust me, the game now is waaaay more balanced than it has ever been
the graphics now are ideal for dbd, they are much better to play with, dbd is almost a competitive game with simple horror game aspects, people who want the older versions of maps are just blinded by nostalgia
Booooooooooooooooooooo. I hate realm beyond. Could have updated the textures without butchering the art style. Idk if you noticed, and I didn't even notice until it was gone, but the game used to have a slight watercolor art style. This is very obvious on dwight's old shirt and the old basement floor. It wasn't very noticeable but it made the game look a lot more unique. I'm fine with this going away as I understand they wanted the game to be more realistic since we have all these licenses now, but that doesn't excuse making maps look so different. I wish we could at least use the old lighting. I also wish that some models like the generators, pallets, lockers, and especially chests looked more like the old ones.
Soo whit the realm update they decided to downgrade the game graphics man this game looks poop now no diff from medium to ultra only more blurry game and on some maps u can't even see shit
they should've only updated the models textures and animation but should've left lighting alone. Like new coldwind are the worst looking maps in the game because of the lighting. They should've never made a lighter map than dead dogs. Snow map, coldwind and eerie of crows should get a night version, or a sunset/sunrise version at best like the dead dog map.
They took away all the charm away from the game. If they brought back the color tints, fog, and made the maps just a tad darker then the game wouldn’t feel so arcade-y and cheesy.
Unpopular opinion but dbd needs to ditch Switch and last gen consoles so we can get real graphic updates. Cross play now makes that easier, so no excuse.
I think OLD DBD was much better. Now it’s designed to be “competitively Balanced” It’s just annoying. With SBMM. It’s just not fun anymore. The game lost its charm and fun that it had back then. I use to play this game for hours with my wife, brother in law and friends. Spent hours just having fun. None of them play anymore. The game now is so strict and flat. It lost its horror vibe and fun.
Apparently this is a hot take but I think the new one just looks better? And sure it’s all about aesthetics but aesthetics don’t mean anything if they hurt to even look at

I semi-miss the graphics. They originally were going for a more painted, watercolour texture look for them and ditched it for boring "realism".

Old dbd was so better
I started playing dbd in 2023 so im not nostalgic about something i did not experience
However i feel like the old lighting could absolutely be brought back to add to the horror experience
I bought it 1 month after release, everything was so dark and scary, there were weird sounds that made the ambience deep. You coul hide in all bushes
no intro music :(
The dark maps captured a more creepy horror feeling.
It’s evolving. Just backwards

From thematic to generic.
Well put
nostalgic seeing the old stuff. I remember when thompson house was stupid simplistic and undetailed. it's like going from ps2 graphics to ps4
We would Ps5 graphic but we have Switch
Looks worse now

I mean i would love to have a style setting that uses the old style but in current gen,
So not going back to old graphics

Im going to be honest my fav graphics ever from dbd was 2019 all the way to 2020 to early 2021.
They can still add the blue tint to McMillan but maybe not that much like maybe a little lighter blue tint
I hope they can at least have Graphics like Gun Media Graphics in the future
I wonder why they don't add a color filter option to make the game look more like the old days.
with dbd being on unreal 5 i hope they do a huge graphical overall while keeping the same art style
