I like the overall skin shading in the Nvidia demo, but they're cheaping out with the hair. Or rather the lack of it. The guy's eyebrows are textured on vs what Quantic guys are doing. Interesting you bring up that old skin demo. Naughty Dog felt that was the best real time skin shading they've seen so for Uncharted 2 they tried their hardest to recreate it. Interesting to see the trade offs they did to get it as close as they can. You should look into that PDF for Uncharted 2, it goes into great detail about how they went about shading everything in the game. They made sure everything was shaded even if it was done poorly since it's better than nothing.
