We've seen things like this before from Naughty Dog (I don't think it's the same batch of artwork). And it would seem that they are just showing the failed attempts to make the game style less cartoony. And OF COURSE THEY WOULD FAIL!!
You can't make Jak and Daxter too realistic-looking, otherwise it'll loose a lot of it's unique design that makes the series what it is. ND know this, and that is why they stopped the original Jak sequel project. It is unknown if they plan on picking it back up to try an continue to ruin the games' art-style or if they will try and go with a cartoony style more like what we all know and love… or if they plan on returning at all.
Insomniac had these same problems too, early on in development. They tried to make things look too realistic, but look at the games now!
