Ditto. There's something about the angular layout and the content/angles of the images that does not appeal to me. The old ones looked more somehow open and interesting to me. The new ones give me the impression I'm looking at a schematic, while the old ones looked like a splash screen.|

The new ones do work better with modern graphics settings and screen sizes. They just don't appeal to me as much artistically.

When I saw the new screens I was happy. The old ones had just gotten... old. No doubt I will get bored of the new ones as well. But for now, I like them.
I like them.
That being said, I'm very biased. I was all over the competition, six of the new screens are mine (admittedly including the Tunnels of the Trolls, and that isn't very difficult to capture), and another seven use shots from the screens I submitted.
I like the new ones.

I hope one of them wasn't the Kings Row one, because the shots chosen for that are TERRIBLE. That was the only screen where I actually said to myself, "A person chose these, not a random image generator?"

I really like them a lot. For me, they seem to show the 'flavor' of each zone very nicely.
�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.� I like the new ones. I'm nostalgic already for the old ones sometimes tho. It would be nice to have an option to choose one over the other but probably necessary to waste any Dev time to make it happen.

I don't even pay attention to loading screens most of the time. They are usually only there for 10 seconds.
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
The one thing I miss about the old ones is the unique font for each place. Granted, not all zones had a unique font, but a lot of them did have subtle effects or something going on with the font. Now it all just uses the same font.

All the redside ones have been better so far. Yet to check blueside.

I like 'em so far, but I don't like how the images make the city look so empty. When I was zoning into Skyway, the loading screen depicted it as a massive ghost town, for example. I know there aren't that many NPC civilians in the city at all, but it's a little depressing to have the loading screens reinforce just how devoid of non-criminal life it is.

Until the last week of the competition, that was the time of the no-civilians bug. It didn't particularly help.

No. You're not the only one. The new ones may be 'sharper' but have a 'sameless about them that the old ones (which have more of a 'identity' to each of them) don't. Still, the new ones are beginning to grow on me.
I like the art. I loathe the font.

I think this is what I liked as well; some zones had unique fonts/etc. Now they are all the same...*shrugs*

The old ones were nice, but Ultra Mode made them look outdated - the new ones give a better impression of the graphics now.
