How do things look THIS much worse all these years later? Everything is so washed out and faded. Textures have so much less detail. The areas seem so much less open and more linear even by other theme park MMO standards. I don't know if 1.0 was on console as well but my immediate suspicion is to wonder of the downgrade was so this game could run on the PS3.
I also want to say during one of the live letters last year, during the gfx update announcement, Yoshi did stay they removed alot of shaders from the game (2.0 and onwards) and will slowly be readding some back to the game over time. not sure on the time frame.
