The asphalt wasn't a grey smear anymore. It was a granular, pockmarked surface. I could see the individual cracks running through the tarmac. The concrete barriers had depth and wear, looking like actual poured cement rather than grey polygons.
Perhaps the most dramatic change is the sky. The original purple/orange sunset skyboxes have been replaced with high-dynamic-range (HDR) captures. You will see realistic cumulus clouds, sun-glare that forces you to squint (in a good way), and night skies that feature actual constellations. The Rockport city environment no longer looks like cardboard cutouts; buildings have reflective windows and visible brick textures. Nfs Mw Plak Graphics Mod
