People don't bash on CoD for reusing the same engine. They bash on CoD for reusing the exact same assets every single game. Graphically and gameplay there's a marginal difference from Modern Warfare to Black Ops 2.
From your statement it seems that you're making the assumption that every game will look and play like Uncharted by using Naughty Dog's engine, which isn't true. The game can play completely different and higher resolution textures can be used. Crimson Dragon, Gears of War, Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, Batman Arkham City, and DmC Devil May Cry all run on the same engine yet all look and play completely different.
We know nothing of what their engine is actually capable of because it's used exclusively by them. So wait until their first PS4 game is released Naughty Dog also never went in depth with the building their engine. Who knows what it could do. It could be like DICE's and Id's Engines which are built to still work on future generations of games. The engines are scalable.
Like the original post mentions. There's no need to upscale their engine unless there's something the engine can't do. More than likely the graphical quality of games Naughty Dog releases on the PS4 will be comparable to their games versus any other developer on the PS3. The only things they'll need to add to the engine are additional features if need be.
