Nostalgia? Ok, here's a more critical comment: some of the new textures have way too much contrast which make me appreciate the older look.
Grooves/flutes of the columns and other ornamental details are all literally black and it looks particularly bad in the comparison screenshot where it's like a concentration of lines in perspective. Likewise with roof tiles and the ground stone pavement. They don't look bad when seen from afar but I prefer the plainer look of the old scene, not that the old one doesn't have flaws.
More or less the same deal with old games, especially 2D games before 3D games with blocky shit models using shitty eyesore textures took over. It has nothing to do with nostalgia.
It's good that VD could afford to have a more detailed look. I'm just saying, more details != good.
