The game also runs at NTSC 60Hz, so another improvement for us in the UK over the PS1 copy.
Unfortunately it doesn't appear as if this version is currently available to purchase separately, nor does the PS3/Vita copy unlock the game on PS4/5. No trophy support from Namco either.
Some of the other PS1 Classics however are PAL 50Hz. Now you might be thinking 'well who cares, that's how we've always experienced them over here anyway!', but because we're no longer using 50Hz hardware to play them, these titles will still be outputting at 60Hz on a PS4/5, which can cause rather noticeable judder depending on the game. In many ways it's going to be the PlayStation Classic situation all over again. While the letterboxing of the PAL originals was eliminated, all the PAL games ran worse than they did on the original PAL PlayStation.
Mixed bag rather than definitive. Looks like some games will be better than the original, some games will be better in some specific areas (graphics, trophy support, rewind/save features) and worse in others (gameplay) and some will just be inferior.

But that jank polygons, Moe! The jank!
Seriously. There's a charm to the flickery nature of early polygonal games which means I'd opt for that mode ahead of the improved visuals. (There's a indie adventure/3D platformer type game that's in production with a semi-open world but early PSOne era polygons. Looks really good.)
