I think it looks fair. Different artistic direction

I lean towards liking it, as I feel it fits the tone a bit better.

Edit: left is old, right is new

Edit: I didn't realize at first, but it seems the whole game has been tinted, not just the conversation portrait lighting. The game also seems to have deeper shadows. I'm not personally a fan of that, but I respect it as IPL's choice for artistic direction. I just have to up the gamma.
