The image on top is a bit misleading. In the trailer you can tell there is a lot of light on her face by the way the shadows move across it. So in that shot it makes the model quality look poor when it isn't. A lot of light on an already pale face is a messy combination. The image on the bottom is a  somewhat doctored promotional image. Like some of the Forza images from a long time ago of the cars by themselves that people were trying to say was in-game.

By people do you mean Guerrilla Games? Because they said the models were in-game but they are clearly much lower quality in-game.

You asked. I explained. Nothing I said was inaccurate. Just pointing out that companies do that kind of thing to hype the game up and I used an example of one that I was very familiar with. Lower quality? I agree. MUCH lower quality? Download the trailer at the link I posted if you haven't already. The game isn't that far off the mark from those old promotional images.

Here's how it works, the image probably wasn't doctored at all (the promotional). When you render an image, depending on the program, it cleans a lot of things up on its own. However, with the comparison here, it's not efficient at all, because the quality of the two is so far different, comparing them is quite useless. 

The only real way to do is to compare them, with like-for-like situations, and in the same resolution.

It doesn't change the fact that it's a promotional image that clearly isn't what it will look like in-game. Maybe with a higher resolution but the game is running in 1080p. It's the same situation with Forza 5. They released images to promote the game showing cars in stunning pictures but then we see the actual in-game look and it's not the same. Companies just do that and I've come to accept that until I see the game in action, anything prior to that is most likely a bullshot.
