Upsides over the original: It now plays more optimally. Updated visuals make keeping track of the situation way easier, the impact of the shooting feels stronger, the addition of coop is nice, and everything overall is smoother. You can finally see silhouettes of characters behind buildings.

Downsides over the original: Try as the game might to be faithful to the original game's presentation (and to give it credit, it is very faithful), it still feels a bit softened, not as transgressive or "dangerous" as the original, like something you weren't supposed to be playing. Which I felt was the whole point of Postal 1.
