I much prefer the new lighting model. It looks much more realistic, imo. The contrast between light and dark, the darkness of the shadows, etc. all adds to the realism of the game. They didn't just throw in a bunch of Bloom like in Gears and Heavenly Sword, which causes everything to light up like a nuke just went off. They have a very dynamic lighting system that shows the contrast between eye-hurting sunlight, and shade beneath the trees. Just look at the light shining through the leaves of the trees. Compared this to the lighting in the original trailer, where everything looks the same, and the shadows are barely darker than ares in sunlight.
The new lighting system is simply stunning. This lighting engine rivals KZ2 and Crysis, imo.
The lighting in the original trailer looks as ancient as Half-Life 2.
