Space is not an issue, but RAM is. However the game can load any needed stuff with each screen or set of screens (means there's no need to load from the get go all prerendered sprites). I'm sure 1,5- 2mb are more than enough to allow you to play a few rooms without any loading interruption. And as I already mentioned there's not even needed to go and prerender all 3d objects and anims to perfection. With clever compromises any smoothness or detail lost will be hardly noticable.

I think there's no real comparison between the Amiga and PSX, the later has specialised custom harware to pull off it's magic (just like the Amiga has it's own), so the CPU speed is not much relevant here. Plus for a nice Amiga port you'd still need to make a lot compromises. Unless you make it for 060 in which case I too think a 1:1 port could easilly be created. But where's the fun in that?
