The team behind Aion have released some news and screenshots detailing their new lighting and shadow changes to the Aion engine (cryengine), the difference is evident, but I thought it would be nice to compare them directly, look at the images below and move your mouse over to see the improved image, hopefully it provides a more direct and useful comparison of the two images.

Be patient, the second image may take a second to load.

Hope you liked it, please comment if you did 🙂
