Wasn’t it more to do with a crappy development cycle than hardware? I could be wrong, but that’s just what I’ve heard.

There’s a mod on ModDB that tries to recreate the campaign of the cancelled N64 port.

It actually recreates PSX version which had entirely new campaign. The N64 one was supposed to be a straight port of the original.

To be honest, Unreal was much like Crysis and Quake and Doom before it, i.e. a PC-oriented game that was really pushing the "next-gen" PC graphics, with the console ports as an afterthought.

Epic made efforts to port the Unreal Engine over to the consoles and they had plans to do so since the beginnings, but the focus of the original Unreal (as well as UT99, UT2003/2004 and Unreal 2) was pretty clear, namely to push PC hardware to the next level.

The first Epic's game which was not PC-oriented was Gears of War, which premiered the Unreal Engine 3 on the consoles (Xbox 360).

With Unreal Engine 4, focus is on "cross platform" development.
