We could nitpick differences. But saying texture and animations are the only things left...

Those are pretty huge parts of the athstetic appeal. 3.0 has some amazing lighting but it still can't beat the overall appeal 1.0 had. Lighting in 1.0 was bad but it did draw distance and model quality far better.

Hell if they did 1.0 a bit smarter from the start it wouldn't have chugged so bad and looked just as good.
