Awesome pics.

to bad in game the jaggies make it look a hell of a lot worse, also paint looks no where near as good in game.

Just like photo mode in every racing game ever... it looks better than the actual game.   Doesnt need to be said.

Actually it does need to be said. Players who do not own the game or are new to the genre will not know what photo mode is and therefore assume that these are ingame screenshots rather than just polished polygons specifically rendered for a mode that has nothing to do with actual gameplay. These photos are also used as advertising tools and in trailers which makes it even more immoral.

Things like this need a big fat disclaimer: "Not actual gameplay footage"

Sure other games have prerendered cutscenes as well but there it is pretty obvious to anyone who has ever played any video game because most of the action shown is not possible in the gameplay.
