there's one somewhere that must've been done in '97 cause that's the year X-COM: Apocalypse was released and the graphics look similiar to that

I thought earlier PS was going to be run on an entirely different engine. I also heard they turned down the graphics, as you can see in the very early Ps shots the graphics look at lot more intense and VERY different.

I like the way the dick-like building looks, from the outside. What I mean is the walls that surround it. But they cancelled it. Good call.

I like that they toned down the sci-fi a bit. Those pink towers were just freaky.

they didn't keep it because imagine the strain on a graphics card when 70 people are firing realistic flame effects in the same SOI. it would bring a Radeon 9800 to its KNEES, kick it in the groin, and walk away laughing.
