Thing is, a visual upgrade wouldn't change that much assuming they do exactly what they did in CEA: Update the assets and leave everything else alone. If all they change are the assets, the cinematics will largely look the same. The only work they did to CEA's cinematics was what... A little animation cleanup and slight camera angle changes? If they follow the same pattern, I doubt you're going to get anything that much more dramatic or exciting than what was there to begin with.
