Why does Wrath of Cortex look worse than the PS1 trilogy?

Andy Gavin was a tech wizard.

To expand on it, I'm pretty sure he used the PS1 to it's full advantage, to the point he claims that other devs thought Sony gave them special treatment or something. Going from that to having to make the game for 3 seperate systems will do that to you.

Wrath of cortex had a shitshow of a development due to vivendi universal which caused Mark cerney to move to SCE/SIE.

Dreamcast game that got hastily moved to PS2/GCN/Xbox once that system went kaput.

I loved trying to find to the spots where you could be fully submerged without dying in this level. Twinsanity also had a very specific spot in N. Sanity with a small lake being fed by a waterfall where you could just take a dip.

No, it was always a PS2 Game, it was just going to get a DC port.

Is this real? Never played the game but it looks like there's practically no lighting

Wait until you see the character models.

It was developed for PS2 and later ported to other systems. This wasn't a game in which all the versions were developed simultaneously.

It's real, the game was a huge rush job to meet a strict deadline.

They had no experience with PS2 before this game
