Careful there. Those trailers were made to generate hype and make a game look good, while hiding everything that didn't work right yet (like incomplete levels, buggy objects or the lack of a story). It's easy to build an environment that looks like part of a larger level, while actually being all that exists. Then your mind fills in the gaps, imagining lots of cool stuff that you didn't see (that's how hype works), while instead, what you saw was all there was to see.
If you read all the interviews I collected, you'll have a much more realistic picture of progression. Not from "perfect to sad", but from the ambition to use existing Quake2 technology to get the game done soon, to wasting time experimenting with random stuff on the Unreal engine without a clue about how to make a game out of it, to being sick and tired of the game and implementing just the bare minimum to make it more or less coherent.
