The first and last ones are the only fully cgi scenes that I can think of.

There are many CGI cutscenes throughout Lightfall. Like every mission or two we get one. They're short, but they're there.

You might be right. Some of the cloud strider stuff might be cgi. It's hard to remember for sure. But I still think those were made separately from the opening and closing. They are also not of as high quality. Like I wouldn't be surprised if BLUR did the opening and closing, and another company did the minute or two of Neptune stuff. It didn't stand out in my memory because they weren't that much better than in engine if they were cgi at all.

You are probably right though, I was in a haze of trying to even remember what happened today when I made that comment.

Their quality was definitely on par with the opening cutscene.

Most cloudstrider stuff. Also all the conversations between the Witness and Calus are CGI.

They are also not of as high quality.

They are definitely very high quality. Significantly better than the in-engine cutscenes.

I don't think it's as good as the opening and closing ones, but you definitely win this one.
