Great write up. I kinda compare this gens transition from pre-baked to realistic lighting, to going from pre-rendered backdrops to full 3D environments. At the start it won't always look better than the best made pre-baked light maps. Yet once you see secondary illumination in action and light having different effects on different materials, last gen starts to look pretty outdated. The last of us still looks very good in 1080p, but it falls short in the lighting department which is firmly stuck in 7th gen.
