Wizard101 2008 VS. 2024 (Krokotopia Graphics Update!)

the new graphics are out for krokotopia!! what are your thoughts? do you like before or after more?
personally, there are aspects of after that i like more and aspects of before that i prefer. i think the new graphics look very smooth, but desaturated and kinda bland. however, krok was LONG overdue for a graphics update so i'm happy!!

It feels.. way too clean for an 'ancient world'
Where are all the cracks??

ngl. it's a no from me. i don't like the new look of Krokotopia. when we said we a "polished look" we didn't mean give all the stones a polished look. it looks like we took a time machine and we're in the time of krok rule. i don't even wanna wonder why they took the actual storm away from the tomb of storms but left the janky spiderwebs inside :/ Great video showing the differences!!

I kinda miss the ruined look on everything. the oasis looks good for the most part, but everything else? a little too shiny

[conormoxley]

lowkey took all the colour out of krokotopia

Along with what everyone else is already saying about the update removing the worn and ancient textures of what is supposed to be an ancient civilization, it seems a shame that they didn’t do much creative reimagining like they did for wizard city. I kind of hoped they would “remake” Krok, but this feels more like a retexture only.

I'm kinda mixed. the world gate and oasis look kinda rubbery and drained of color, the but three temples look amazing and quite polished!

[theawkwardturtle]

they just smoothed it and lowered the contrast for the most part :( i think after getting used to it i’ll like it more, but it’s pretty jarring when shown side-by-side. the loss of saturation in the oasis in particular kind of ruins it for me. feels less rich and developed. wiz city remastered looks 10x better than this

[makuta]

they did what sauce said he hoped they wouldnt. krokotopia needs to look damaged and worn, not new and smooth

[brandi_reeves]

I like the old one textures, they are rigid and...well...ancient looking. I like the new smoothing effect in the air, but that's about it. Really don't like the floor cracks being replaced with smooth textures.

[acesfairy]

I like the newer designs, but Im still waiting for the game to look like the trailers

[zkunkozwirl]

there are parts i do and don't like, it clearly still needs some more polish, but that's the point of a test realm build obviously lol. i think it it looks really good, ppl just don't like change. this is exactly how ppl reacted to wizard city initally being revamped. it'll fade as ppl get used to it and get over it

[alessiaaaa]

Am I the only one who doesn’t like the new texture update? Imo the og 2008 texture is the best for the vibes of krok. Now it looks too “cartoony” imo. The cracks in the stones were perfect, the ruined look is a vibe for krok. Now they made it way too polished…

[natejohnson]

I cant imagine that the reactions to the wiz city revamp were as mixed as this. Still an upgrade, but not a home run like wizard city

[akrammeziane]

Wow people cried for krok looking ugly now after the update they are crying about how clean it looks 😅

[jxsh_hx]

overall its nice i think they definitely should have kept it more old and destroyed but definitely an upgrade

[malice]

As nostalgic as I am for old Krok, this is an upgrade

[AuraMrRelax]

*this is great, but you know what they say. Old is Gold..* ✨

[funkyguy]

Some of it is wayyyy too smoothed out. I like the charm of the gritty desert

[marcushellerhansen]

I find the new graphics awesome. I'm seen
this in a dusty vibe is cool. You really know you in a desert. Grainy, there is some old-school color removal, sure, but that fine. If you are just questioning, then you won't really pay attention. We will get used to it in the end. The new style is better. I have personally wished for the update cause the old graphics just doesnt suit these new times. For the hall sections(where we fight mobs), it would have been nice with some sort of ceiling than a black void above. We gonna explore the rest of the world in new light. Nostalgia hits hard. That is why new things like this for us veterans seem like vibe killers. Asked for it, aye. Now we just need MB, MS, DS, CS, ZF, GH, WS updated graphics. Worlds from AL N above just need some polishing.

[SageMerric]

I think this is for the best in the long run. My nostalgia is saying I'm going to miss how dirty everything felt, but I can't deny that the new one is just cleaner and more modern overall.
