Here is a side by side comparison of Destiny's Pre-Alpha build versus the Current build. Images were taken from the Pathways Out of Darkness ViDoc from Feb 17, 2013 and the VGX Game Trailer from December 7, 2013.

I wonder if the emitter feature on the right hand monolith in both images is common to all portals or just this one. If just this then definitely the same location. Either way, much improved. Current build seems more "worn-in".
