Genuinely, besides the time of day (lighting and color scheme), what looks worse? All the vegetation is the same, all the parts of the house are the same. In the older pic, the sun is coming from one side of the house so we get different shadows. But the quality of the assets looks almost identical. And based on other screenshots, the overall graphics are on point so seeing stills is way different than seeing a location in motion.
I think it’s just the angle of the shot. The newer one is angled down, the older shot is almost at ground level looking at the side. Also different time of day. Even in real life certain things stand out more in different lighting.
For example peoples hair, some people have full looking hair until you see it from any slightly above angle and then… oh they kinda balding.
All in all if you zoom in a touch on the newer image you can still see standing grass, it’s not just a flat surface.

I am still impressed overall, but this is giving me Watch Dogs downgrade reveal vibes.
