It looks more futuristic because 3D video game hardware in general has evolved so much from when the original was developed. The original could work with no 3D rendering hardware at all.

If you watch the game developer post mortem for Invisible War you will find that the game developers tried too hard to cater to people who didn't like Deus Ex.

Human Revolution was intended to be more true to the gameplay of the original.
