There is no reason for a 2D side scroller to have a background that is rendered by the engine. Just like in the original games they can be premade artwork, which gives a lot more depth and atmosphere than any 3D scene ever could.

I hope so. And I really hope the aformentioned renders are just to show people that something is being done. These pictures are nothing near the quality and detalisation of the original backgrounds. In my opinion there's no sence in showing these low-quality pictures because normally the goal of such pre-prod screens is to amaze people and to arouse interest in the upcoming project. And these pics just leave people confused and disappointed.
Besides JAW could have given up the "screen" conception and gone with "continuous" scrolling scheme. So Abe HD can really have real-time 3D backgrounds.
