I’m noticing a lot more blue in d2. D1 had almost all warm colors making everything blend together. D2 makes more things a colder blue color to heavily contrast the warm environment. the d1 version seems stronger thematically with the colors and atmosphere but everything is clearer and pops better in the d2 version.

I still miss the type of view from orbit that was in D1. It always gave me a feeling of drifting in the space

The way the lighting in D2 reflects the environment makes you realize how things just glow in D1 lighting.

lighting is so much better in D2 but it loses some of the environment "noise" D1 had. Its tough to explain besides having someone stare at the comparisons for hours.

I personally like the look of D1 better because it’s more cinematic and thematic, while D2 is more saturated and colorful

D1 king's fall had this thick haze that made the dreadnought really feel like you were in a nasty, smelly hive ship made from the husk of a dead god. I still enjoy d2's interpretation though. So happy to have the best raid back in destiny

While D2 graphically obviously looks better, I think D1 was much more atmospheric.

that sweeper bot really did wonders at oryx encounter room, he vacuumed all steam from the room.

Is it just me or do the rings of Saturn on d2 looks really bad?

Honestly we entered Oryx’s throne world and saw how beautiful it was now. It’s honestly a 10/10 raid both visually and mechanically. Bungie have done a solid job with this raid and hope they continue doing stuff like this.

Most people I talk to about this disagree with me but I personally like the d1 orbit animations and backgrounds much more than the d2 ones. They just seem so much more dynamic.

The thing I noticed most was the increased saturation and decreased bloom. The lack of bloom/fogginess helped really bring out the details in the improved textures while giving a better sense of the lack of actual atmosphere in space. On the other hand, D1 felt more cinematic, and the desaturated colors helps set the mood of the setting. Both have their positives and look great either way.

I just remember warpriest being so dark and that made a lot of contrast with the wipe mechanic brightness. that being said i miss how dark it was in there

Either way, we can all agree that I look amazing, regardless if its in D1 or D2

The thing I like more about D1's visuals is that it was always quite dark and gritty, which made things more menacing, in D2 everything looks a bit to clean.

this just made me realize destiny 1 weirdly enough had a lot of its "feel" carried by post processing effects. they were super extreme but i feel like they were used well and added alot to the atmosphere. destiny 2 has a lot more readable and cleaner look but i wish we could see what it would be like with d1 post processing

D1 just has a more sinister, evil appearance to me. it gives off that “i’m uncomfortable to be here” vibe. i do like D2 though, but i like D1 range of color pallet overall

The coloring for oryx in destiny 2 looks really nice.

I miss the taken themed shaders and equipment, I was hoping they would make a return with Kings fall.

I think the blue crystals in the d2 version of the last arena are…bit much, kinda don’t fit in

1:20 Why did they remove the moving light here? I don't understand why they needed to cut that out, it wasn't that crazy for the engine to handle.

I really do like both, but D2 looks a little too clean and cold colour-wise. The sharpness and clarity are obvious amazing, but the atmosphere and aesthetic suffered a little bit.

i've never been the biggest fan of d2 colours in environments. just looks over saturated and hard to look at. But d1 is just a bit too faded.

They really maxed out the bloom in D1 huh? I suppose it does help hide the low resolution and the lower texture quality.

Honestly think I prefered D1 version. I just love the creepy atmosphere it had.

Based on the color grading, D1 was made in Mexico and D2 was made in the U.S.

I'm convinced that those who think D1 looked better than D2 are legally blind and would do well with my glasses or an optometrist visit.

I miss the D1 graphics They had a darker tone, D2 is a bit too cartoony in my opinion

I like the old colors from D1 better for the Smite of Merain, Doom of Chelchis, Midha's Reckoning, Zaouli's Bane, Defiance of Yasmin and Qullim's Terminus

the warm colors and atmosphere are still better in D1, but the graphic update really makes up for it. The only cool colored fight was Golgy in D1, which was in a messy, moist, and animalistic arena with kind of like a crab-insect ogre, which is a really cool contrast to fighting Warlords and evil princess witches in the other parts of the raid. In D2, the clarity and cool environments takes away from the spookiness and sheer severity of the situation we are under, especially in the Boss hall. However, the glowing blue pillars are a great touch in D2, but I liked the fog and dead brown feel when facing the Taken King. Still a great experience nonetheless.

This is awesome I love this raid, it brings back so many memories. However in my opinion it looses its weight and meaning without the taken king story to go with it. A lot of new players or those who never played d1 is not going to get the full effect of this amazing raid. That final confederation with oryx during the story and us chasing him into his thrown word to finish him off in the raid was fantastic. Something that will be lost on new players.

God dayum these videos always make me realize how ugly of a game D1 actually was

I like oryx room in d1, it gives more spooky darker vibe to it and oryx just straight up more menancing with that shadow and a bit of light refection from asteroid belts. In d2 he's way too bright IMO.

My God do i miss that D1 quiet song when you hover in orbit

I like the lighting and ambience in D1 a lot more. For all destinations actually. Obviously the D2 textures are better, but at the same time they look a bit plactic-y while D1 had a unique style they were going for and they nailed it. (also sad that my warlock is floating in character screen and not standing, but w/e)

I would like to say that D1 feels more living than D2. D2 feels dead, and lifeless which makes since we killed them before and it adds a new since of eerieness to me, while D1 atmosphere was one of danger and horror, d2 is one of lifelessness and emptiness which I kinda like.

This raid looks 10 times better on D2 I love the color pallet they’ve chosen, the boss room looks phenomenal and the Warpriest room looks significantly better aswell. I like how they evolved Gulgurath.

D2 looks sharper, but damn... D1 has a lot more depth. D1 looks better overall. Not in all aspects, but the fog and the green color grading just make it more scary.

D2 lighting makes oryx look more like the taken King than a hive king.

One thing i adored about the d1 graphics was the fog in most of the areas of the raid, really shows the darkness/spookiness of the atmosphere

idk why but D1 just looked more interesting D2 might look BETTER graphically but D1 had a rustic look that made everything look lived in and ancient D2 everything looks to new nothing feels lived in

D1 it's a hundred times better and it will stay that way.

Honestly I like d1 Oryx but damn look at the detail in d2

D2 maybe more technicaly advanced, but it has less appeal than D1. And what's up with fog disappearing from returning raids and color pallet completely shifting?

The warpriest comes out like a tank in d1, with yhe contrast of destiny 2 he looks like an action figure

No joke, had a D1 vet say that they both looked exactly the same!! He was watching the old D1 raid guide for kingsfall when we asked him to look up the D2 one

The graphics of this raid were CRAZY even back then. But now in D2, OH MY GOD oryx looks INCREDIBLE. And the environment and everything in this raid in D2 looks outstanding. I’ve been playing this franchise since 2018 and It’s ofc had its flaws but this franchise will always have a place in my heart

They took away the haze. That’s all. And the guns looked like real bone in d1 now they look like they were carved out of cement or plaster. I’m prob just partial. 🤣

In D2 is just 60 FPS, anti-aliasing, reflects and colour saturation.... Fog out.... D1 is so much better in all than d2 except in graphics...

It makes me want the entire dreadnaught back just to see how it look now

Pressing Y or triangle should show you sparrows boost trail. Please show this next time as i assume, like the vow sparrow, this raids sparrow has a unique trail too

I like the D1 foggy(?) look better because it blended the enemies and environments better, the new warpriest just looks weird when comparing him to the environment, but of course the foggy look doesn't match Destiny 2's art style so they had to keep a consistent look for the activities across the game. How ever sometimes I don't realize how detailed the textures and modelling is in d2 compared to d1, the new oryx looks amazing because of it

D1 has atmosphere, D2 just looks good. I'd rather play D1 becaus ALL the rewards are there. Like Atheons Epilogue. Wish they'd make it 60fps.

Amazing how d2 makes d1 soo much better.

d2 definitely looks better it just goes to show how far the graphics have came

If anything - this makes me want to jump back into D1 & relive the good ol days!

the lighting is completely messed up in d2 i'll never understand these type of changes

After getting a few clears today Id say they did an excellent job with this raid. The ambience of this raid is what made it my favorite and I couldn’t be happier to have it back.

Saturns rings in D2 in orbit look too plain, but that and the scout not having the same animations as the other guns have literally been my only complaints about Kingsfall returning. Looks beautiful, and walking into Golgoroths room for the first time, but a second time, felt like the first time again lol.

D1 fanboys really need to take off their nostalgia goggles is they really think D1 kings fall looks better

How do you get that cinematic type view during the jumping puzzle before sisters? Or is that from bungie?

I'm miss the dark look of D1 we trying to kill a Hive God not a rainbow

One things for sure, D1 orbital music > D2 orbital music

Thank you for putting this. I was thinking earlier like "wow.. i really played this raid on three different generations of consoles. I wonder how well the D1 one version aged on ps3?" Thanks for this bro!🙌🏼

I like the song at the end, I like how its similar to Call Of Ktulu,it’s like how Cliff Burton (bassist of MetallicA) made the song ominous, dark, and mysterious with all the effects he’s doing with his bass, making calls as if Ktulu was calling forth his followers. Or something like that.

Oryx chest looks like its from an action figure. Could've done a better job there. Rest looks really nice. Although D1 has a huge nostalgia bonus. Even regarding the 30 FPS and slow movement. Thanks Bungie for making me play D1 again

Why does everything in HD have to be "dark" to the point of not being able to see where you're going? Seriously, watching Van Helsing movie and can barely see dark places IN the movie.

Let’s go back to the D1 color palette and more grimdark aesthetic, please.

D1 orbit screen was definitely better

So if I got this right: Oryx isn’t back canonically, just his raid. How does this fit with 2 lies/truths from Savathun? I mean it’s kinda both a truth and lie. Oryx is back, yes but only as a time locked raid. There hasn’t been an actual resurrection. So does that mean Savathun can see into our own world?

I just wish we had the old music back... 😢

Remastered the KF raid very disappointed 😢 can’t keep the original look design on the weapons looks more unique instead redo it make it piss color there’s a lot of flaws but some changes are worth changing it

Holy shit that D1 orbit music, nostalgia just hit me like a tidal wave.

I like how the Destiny 2 version makes it feel like the Dreadnaught is abandoned. It isnt the hub of Hive activity that it once was, after we killed Oryx

Nothing beats d1. It looks so dark atmospheric

Love the graphical updates for sure but it feels like some of the soul was lost in translation. A lot of the lighting and environmental effects in D1 really helped the experience feel not empty, it gave life to it. It definitely feels like in D2 they leaned on clarity for presentation to be like "Hey look we have the capability to make things more defined and clearer. Clearer=prettier right?" Which in some of the examples really servers that purpose but leaves other areas feeling empty. Kind of feels like you were looking at a forest and forgot it's made up of individual trees.

D1 lighting looks better cinematically but if I actually had to play with that level of low light my eyes would scream

I have no issues with D2's graphics. However, D1 is a beautiful game and for it's time on base ps4 and xbox one I remember being blown away by how great the game looked. Despite the obvious lack of graphical power back then, the game is still visually stunning. At least to me. D2 looks great, but isn't as impressive to me in terms of visuals as D1 was.

Ambient background noise in D1 made it feel more alive, Sad thats gone

Everyone gangsta till the OG orbit music plays.

Is it just me or is there a LOT of green where there wasn't any/was barely any at all? Like it just looks like a lot of areas had some green lights out everywhere. It's not bad, it looks really good. It's jarring tho 😂

Difference between press kit visuals and in game are so depressing

d1's Basilica/Warpriest area being more reddish-orange fits better than d2's sickly Hive green and black imo. other than that, i think i prefer the d2 looks

Kind of astonished with how much better d1 looks

Most of the Destiny 2 graphics feel flat and lifeless when it came to large open environments and all fo the added colors makes the grim atmosphere of the ship kind of go away. There are times it looks better texture wise and of course the higher fps looks nice.

D1 for the win!!!

I like D2 better, but this is a remake and it feels like they weren’t as true to the feel of the original. Never did D1 Kings Fall so I’m not as attached.

D2 is complete dogshi7 in comparison. Try to change my mind and your house will end up looking like the unibomber visited

I wanted to start playing D1 and I got a PS5 digital version, didn't realize it didn't have the CD player. damn.. I am so upset, I guess I need to purchase the digital version of D1. Really sucks. I do have my PS 4, but now I don't want to go back.

I never really played D1, but I’ve seen enough gameplay to know the graphics. I kinda wish some D2 stuff would keep the same D1 Graphics because in D2 it looks so… vibrant. In some stuff like this, I like the almost gloomy feel of D1

1st thing I notice is the lack of sound drawing you in and bringing the world to life for D2. Destiny 1 was better in every way.

I like the boss redesigns but the areas are WAY to saturated with colour. What is this a fucking nightclub? Neons everywhere

D2 looks like shit, it’s pretty but it’s a turd with glitter. I thought it was just me that the inside of the dreadnaught felt too much like the moon shadowkeep design. Bungie just sucks really really bad a getting the lighting right to set to mood. D1 kings fall and crotas end felt scary and felt intense. D2 just feels like I’m mowing down ads on what could be any generic hive base.

Is it just me or does D2 look like a downgrade?

D1 looks better and I don't understand why

Stil haven’t done this damn raid cos NO ONE COULD GET TO DPS PHAZE LITERALLY NO ONE

It doesn’t make sense they remove strikes, I’ve heard people say it’s for story reasons but that makes no sense when they just randomly bring raids back with no story connection! They had an explanation at the start of D2 with akora’s “meditations” and they could just use that as how you revisit past events because otherwise it’s so jarring

D1 had better atmosphere by far. D2 looks too curated. We're inside a ship carved from the vertebrae of a dead worm god, why is the air so clean inside it? They took out all the particles and dust to the point it just 'looks like a video game', even more so than D1.

Some of the atmosphere details were missing, Like the lamp in the dunk hall made it dull.
