I liked the transitions, and they could've made it better if they wanted to. I can see why they changed the sensors because while the original concept looks better in theory, it looks pretty bad in 3D and the gates look OK too.
Now that screenshot of grimdark Rupture Farms looks super cheap. I mean, poured concrete floors? Lights hanging from the ceiling? Even the electric gate is just a generator zapping two metal plates on the floor.
While I agree the final version of Rupture Farms should've been darker I still like the fact that it's
recognizable. It looks just like the original only brighter and more colorful. The early one just looks like they tried to be edgy as fuck.
