Wow CGI insane graphics. How do they do that????

PS4's powerz finally awaken wowowow...

I dunno. I think we've reached that point in hand graphics where it is too hard to tell. I could spot the ones in past Uncharted games easily but not so much, these days.  There were even parts in the new Tomb Raider where I swore it was cgi but when I played them in a different outfit, the cutscenes reflected the new outfit. 

 

We'll just have to see it up and running in its entirety. I think ND said they weren't using CGI this gen, though.


Ok, would anyone care to explain what cgi vs. in-engine means, specifically, along with why the difference holds any significance?

I tried looking this up once and wasn't able to find much. 


While all the images are cgi (computer generated images), what people mean when they say cgi cutscenes are that they are pre-rendered, and then the video file is on the disc, so the console reads it off, like a movie. On the other hand, in-engine, means that the cutscenes are rendered on the console itself, in real time, instead of the complete scene being complete on the disc, and just read of there.
