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.

In game (to me) means when you're actually in control and playing, this is what the game will look like. The same models, effects, backgrounds, etc. It's indistinguishable from the actual game.
CGI/Rendered/etc (to me) means that they record footage, often times on much more powerful hardware but sometimes using game footage and adding effects. The difference in prerendered footage and actual gameplay used to be shocking. Now, it's possible to get similar results without going beyond what the console is capable of.
