If you compare the quality of the landscape ofcourse the new engine is lightyears ahead
BUT!
The old map had more "soul" in it. I dont really know how else to explain. I could wander around for hours and it was never boring. I liked the old flora the wired colors on the ground in some areas that looked like sweet stuff and lots of old flowers and plants are just gone from this time. The map itself also made more sense it feelt like one pice of unique fine art.
I would just love to visit the old Project entropia planet again. Calypso from today have become a different planet that just adapted some city names and a few old textures. Hadesheim was cool, just nobody ever was around there
The fields with Combibos and Exaosaur around port atlantis, the Pa bay where people lined up to sweat some berycled that was inable to climb up a small step for the most time. The scary swamp between Pa and Billys spaceship afterworld. I really miss the Beach north of Fort Argus swinging an repedge axe 1.0 and hope for the über nemesis armor part drop
The old map was a masterpice and i miss it truely
I remember i was in shock as they introduced the new continent and compared to the old one it was just a poor standard with a few expectations like treasure island and new oxford.
I miss peds in loot , no ammo in loot, loot in loot that have mu
If we could timetravel into this old world i would join without holding regrets. Not because im a fan of old engines but because this map deliverd the essence of calypso way better as the current one.
