Could you build this?

No A remastered PC port via static recompilation of an Xbox game, with Vulkan rendering and ray tracing, requires deep binary translation, console reverse engineering, and advanced graphics work.

What it would actually take: Building it means extending a recompiler for the original console's CPU and OS calls, reimplementing its GPU pipeline in Vulkan, and adding modern features like ray tracing, which requires graphics engineers and reverse-engineering specialists with long debugging cycles.
