and ... where's the difference in CGI and normal .. 3D modelling? 

Quality.

 

 

lol....how could I not see what you did there?! 

 

lol if THAT was his intend.. xD

@topic: well okay makes sense, but 'could', in  case the hardware would be strong enough - 'could' Games look like FFXIII's CGI Sequences? or is it really the same method already only that dev's are limited to time and hardware? :o

It really depends on the game and what else it's doing.  Games can't really do something like Shrek or some other high quality CGI movie real time but even the PS3 or 360 can do really amazing stuff if it isn't doing much else.

All things like rendering objects, AI, physics, texture sizes, streaming, how many characters on screen, etc all affect the quality.  You can't have high quality everything so you skimp on one thing to make something else that much better.

from my perspective i would put that since PSX there is some kind of rule of tumb... the CGI in the game of that generation is usually the standard in the next one... or some times even better... the top quality exclusive ps2 games had graphics better than most cgi from psx (i exclude ffix that still beautifull and i don't think were really surpressed in ps2 lifetime ingame graphics)... ps3 games have cgi ps2 graphic quality, so i expect ps4 to have the same leap.
