Open the original and pd2 and put them side by side. Pd2 is much better looking, and definitely not more blurry. I have no idea what you are talking about.
it is more blurry. they upscaled the tiles.
Unless you know of an upscaling method that happens to increase the original pixel count (this doesn't exist and never will), there's literally no way to upscale any texture/tile/image without making it more blurry/smoothed.
you can use some more advanced upscaling techniques which happen to be what pd2 uses, but it's mediocre at best and will never retain the sharpness of the original textures.
This isn't an argument, it's a logical failing to assert upscaling made pd2 sharper. Maybe you enjoy the smoothed/less sharp assets, but I and many others sure don't.
edit: if you want to get technical, I can extract the assets from pd2 and put them side by side with the exact same assets from the original and show you the upscaling. But you aren't blind and you can probably tell just by looking at a screenshot 5 feet away...
here, without having to extract anything
