Actually, it kind of makes sense. Early on in development I'd guess they'd need to pick an engine and develop on that, right? If they started development a couple years ago, they'd be using a much more advanced engine and be able to include much better lighting and detail.
They just couldn't keep ahead of the curve. They would start production with one engine, and a knew engine would come out and blow away the previous "best" and they'd have no choice but to start over.
And I agree with NextDesign, the graphics seem kinda poor...They originally started with the Quake II engine, then the Unreal, then a vastly improved Unreal Engine. So sticking to an old engine isn't the reason for the poor graphics (I say poor relative to the games it'll be competing with).
But that's how I heard it.

"Um, this isn't Mars. This is Earth."
"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."
[long pause] "Friend!!"
