Doesn't even look like that big of a difference anymore.
The level of detail, complexity of environment/characters, texture maps, etc., in Shenmue is so far beyond the prior generation. Shenmue 2 was even better and actually when I played the remaster I was pretty impressed by it, 20 years on. It would have been interesting if the DC stuck around longer, because had it, people would have tried to make "real" open world games like GTA3 on it. I don't know how they would have turned out but my guess is a lot better than Driver 2 on PSX.
Note it also got respectable versions of PC titles like Half-Life/UT/Quake3 whereas the N64/PSX versions of them were heavily compromised/changed/cut-up, to the point where the N64 versions are considered a bonus throw-in on modern remasters.
