There are more than one trailer. And I'll always take quality over quantity. Although, it's more about preference in style rather than an actual quality in animation. 

Yeah, I like the new animation style it looks cleaner.

The old trailer looks like sketch arts, kinda like my drawing but with actual effort.

Yeah, complete opposite for me. I like old animations exactly because of their sketchy style.

Why do like the sketchy style?

The reason I like the new animation style is that it is easier to look at and not as distracting as the old one.

Idk, it looks cooler and looks like it has more life in it. Also, new animations tend to butcher characters' designs a lot so that's another reason why I dislike them.

What's wrong with them? your profile picture looks like the new wormwood.

They just look off for me, I don't really feel like pointing out exact details I dislike because there's really no point in discussing something so subjective.

WHAT OTHER EXPLANATION COULD HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT, THE ARTIST JUST FORGOT WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE? 

Dst's atmosphere is much worse than ds'.

And it's not just because it's a multiplayer game. There are many videos on youtube where you can find a group of people playing a game that's meant to be scary/anger-inducing and they're just laughing their butts off simply because they're playing with firends. Klei shouldn't have to shove it down our throats: 'No you're supposed to be having fun. Look at this cute mob do a funny animation!'. I, for example, only play dst solo and I neither feel creepy vibes nor fun vibes nowadays.

There's just no way to make dst feel the same as ds.

-All of us older players already know the ins and outs of this franchise.

-Dst is much more packed with stuff that doesn't feel survival-like, to the point where the original wilderness and fantasy are lost. 

-The writing has gotten worse. Lore is being made up as the updates go and it's harder for us to feel involved/captivated.

Yes, dst's trailers and promo art are also steadily going downhill *gestures at YotC main menu Wendy* and that's not helping with the atmosphere either. 

To me it seems like Klei is making just the worst decisions when it comes to the general atmosphere. They won't stick to the simplicity and the 'you don't belong here' vibe of old ds ambiance and neither do they embrace the 'this world can also be peaceful' that they've been pushing for years now. 

In fact it seems like they want dst's world to feel bland simply so that it is even more of an 'empty canvas' for sandbox fans to have fun redesigning it, and therefore playing longer.

Klei canceling horror mobs, giving spiders happy faces and completely pushing Them away is a sign that creepy dst is never coming back. And so far it seems that they aren't really sure what to make dst now, a fantasy world or a playplace for friends

ill be honest i dont think a video game SHOULD ever be meant to be "anger-inducing" in its gameplay, video games are meant to be fun and i for one am glad people have fun playing DST with friends.

didnt people complain this WAS creepy and unsettling like 24/7 when the webber update was new????

I voted indifference because I don't want to say it's bad per se just because I like the darker atmosphere of DS. I certainly wish that Klei would bring back more of the dark, mysterious, slightly horror tones of DS. But I also see, that changes are required from a game design perspective, because DST is a multiplayer. As developers you now have to deal with real people interacting as part of the game and a lot of DST is designed around creating a more fun experience together and preventing bullying, such as getting benefits from reviving a player, but punishment from killing one (I also believe the main reason long pig was not implemented isn't because it was "too dark", but because getting food from killing others would counteract the idea of working together). You have a lot more jolly events and whimsical creatures, because a constant dark atmosphere might pull the mood down in an average ((already depressed)) Discord chat. So all in all I totally understand the changes that a required for a multiplayer-experience, but I still wish for some more DS retro style.

But also this, TOTALLY agree, those were some of the worst animations from Klei in my opinion. Instead of sketchy, these designs just look like a bunch of geometric shapes with some lines on it, like the artist genuinely didn't have fun with it... It's so bland and devoid of shading. (no offense to the artist here, I know you are working hard and have to probably replicate a style that isn't your own, this is just my personal taste).

Yeah, complete opposite for me. I hate the old animations exactly because of their sketchy style, also the old one didn't have shading what are you talking about?

because im also playing arround, wasnt serious

Yeah it's a shame what happened to Bearger, I definitely prefer the old, less human and pampered looking Bearger. The difference in fur texture is so noticeable I don't understand why they went from giant stray cat fur to flawless fluffy onesie.
