Then it was decided to do a dual release on the PC and X-Box. To save development costs, ISA decided to develop the exact same version for both platforms. So they took the rather ambitious renderer they'd developed and mauled it to run on the X-Box... and then used this engine on the PC side as well.
Could you please forward a link to earlier screenshots for me? I've forgotten what it looked like before all this Xbox stuff. Also, hello everyone.

But then why did the early screenshots of Return to Castle Wolfenstein look so much better than the finished product? What about Tribes 2? Morrowind? Star Wars Galaxies?

They didn't have the whole level built, just chunks to show off so they used high-res textures/high poly models, then they built the whole levels and realised the memory request was too high, so they cut back on texture size and polygon count in models.
That's what I think. :erm:
