Look like magazine scans.

KLA (just realized the irony of that name :P), could you tell us where you found those pics please?

These screens are real. Magazine scans. :)

In the picture above an elephant is grabbing a soldier with his trunk. Also there seems to be a lot of difference in quality/color within the pictures.

I think that some magazine has altered a few things to spice up some existing pictures.

Looked like matte-painting and/or CGI cinematics to me.

Looks like in-game shots to me (filtered through printing on paper, and then photographing with a camera). The men are formed as you would expect them in-game, particularly the Carthaginian archers on the wall. Yeah, it's better graphics than we've seen so far in a TW game, but that's what happens with every game. The elephant trunk thing would be just another scripted combat animation.

The colors look too brown, like a modern FPS game. Was hoping for realistic colors.

Jack Lusted (CA) has said they are in fact screenshots from the seige of Carthage.
However it is clear that filters have been used on (especially) the bottom three.

In RTW it was absurdly easy to kill routing soldiers. A quick swipe with a cav unit and that was it. Was a big change compared to old MTW.

So pretty. I tried to take screenshots from the video and put them up so you won't have to sit through two silly men BSing, but couldn't. Actually, having seen that video, I'm slightly worried they've just put things in just for OMGawesome value that seems to do it for the majority of the .com forum demographic.
