Bottom one actually has HDR enabled. It seems more realistic based on how the lighting should appear. The first photo looks too bright with just a few candles—similar to the basement or dungeon areas in the castle. There should be near total darkness there, only a handful of small candles, and that’s precisely what HDR enhances. The contrast between regular settings and HDR is really noticeable. Whatever Capcom did, it needs to be demonstrated at the Game Developers conference; it’s clearly the top HDR implementation they presented.
You need to check out Dishonored 2 or Metro Exodus—they both offer amazing HDR quality.
