Here is a video about 1.0 sandstorm
You really feel the sand in the air

and i think the ambient sound was way much better, too. you can hear the sand rolling in the air.. which you dont in ARR.


And the weather effects for bad weather is so awful now in my opinion... it does not look real at all..
it looks so cartoonish to me :/



the cloud textures are ugly as hell XD compared to 1.0..


coming back to textures:

1.0.



ARR




i think the old version has more brillance to it. colors and texture wise. and character details. in my opinion the old version is visually a little more timeless like the new one. Escpecially noscea has some really ugly environments.

grainy textures/grasses :/

i think there you feel that SE had less time for ARR than for the original version.. for visuals. (but concerning this, they of course did a good job for ARR)
