I just bought this game about 4-5 months ago and am still really enjoying it. Sadly enough, other than the new car models the environments really just look too similar. The added resolution is great but when the original already displays at 480p (which isnt anything crazy i know), It would have been a little nice to see them do more with it. Maybe its the video or maybe ive just been spoiled with the amazing job done on Wipeout HD and Super Street Fighter 2THDR lol.
*Edit: Ok i just watched the second video and some of the lighting and that waterfall in the middle of the video were pretty damn nice
