    Turok is a first-person shooter video game developed by Propaganda Games, and published by Disney Interactive Studios (through its Touchstone Games banner) for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in February 2008. It was ported on to Microsoft Windows in April 2008.
    The game is loosely based on the comic book series of the same title and is unrelated to the story and setting of previous Turok video games. Players assume the role of Native American space marine Joseph Turok, who is part of a team sent to a remote planet to apprehend General Roland Kane, a war criminal, who is Turok's former commanding officer. After crash landing, Turok discovers that the planet is home to all manner of dinosaurs, and must fight both the predatory creatures and Kane's private army on his mission to take down his former mentor.

    I remember getting a N64 console as a teen and playing the Turok game for the first time and being amazed by the graphics and sounds as I played the game. This was the first time I ever saw amazing water and solar glare effects in a game, plus the fish in the water looked so real.
    Later I obtained Turok 2 and again I was blown away by the very smart A.I. of the enemies and the graphics/sound was definitely taken to the next level along with the environments, weapons and story.

      I can agree the game has it's ups but (and I'm speaking from the experience of playing the other games.) This one is mostly for visuals and completely steps away from the lore of the original games. In my opinion it's the lowest out of the turok series.

    • @Gruntvc
      @Gruntvc 5 лет назад +10

      I grew up with the N64 Turoks, they have not aged well. Except for a few cool weapons and great death animations, you're better off playing Perfect Dark.
      Turok Evolution tried to be more like Half Life, wasn't a bad game but pretty buggy.
      Turok 2008 was Aliens with dinosaurs. Wasn't the best FPS, but it was a fun game.
      It sold well enough to get a sequel, but sadly Disney shut down all their game divisions except for the devs behind Disney Infinity.

I know it's not amazing but it's actually really cool and had some awesome concepts and animations (I always loved watching the dudes get eaten by the Raptors when you put the flare/thing on them).

    I personally enjoyed this game. I'll admit it certainly isn't for everyone and has some faults. It does have a COD with dinosaurs feel. If it didn't have good voice acting, stealth mechanic (with glory kills), and dinosaurs. I'd probably hate it. That being said I am sad it's kinda kept Turok in the dark for so long and no ones picked up the franchise to make another.

    I used to love this game when I was little, and just a year ago I played it again. I guess I still love it for nostalgic reasons and can't accept it as a bad game. It's generic, very, but it is kind of entertaining sometimes. The build-up before meeting the dinos, the tall grass, the feeling that you are a badass former spec ops goon and god damn DINOSAURS - all that still warms my heart. I'm not saying it's better than any other game, I just like it is all.

      @ZinhoMegaman 5 лет назад +2

      @Dragoon-BB I have Turok Evolution and finished all of then. Evolution is the harder one, enemies could headshot instant kill you and they use this. Maps are large and sometimes confusing, there is not any collectibles this time, the only reason to explore is new weapons or some weapon upgrades. And there is the fly segments, which is the worst part of Evolution. How It compare to the 3 before? Is the weaker of the original series, but never a bad game, it still is Turok in all of it's essence, still have awesome weapons, the gore is superb (they shot at meat for the sound, it's amazing!) and is atmospheric coeherent with the previous installments. And for the record i have It on both PC and OG Xbox, the 2 best versions. If you wanna try It, Xbox version is the complete visuals version, even the PC version dropped some effects that are exclusive to Xbox, which is a shame, but on PC you can use any resolution (even 4k), it support widescreen (vertical -, sadly) and doesn't have framerate cap, you must turn v-sync on via driver. It support anisotropic filter but AA must be via driver too. So it's a matter of preference. It also support KB and mouse properly and gamepad.

    • @Gruntvc
      @Gruntvc 5 лет назад

      I prefer Evolution and this reboot. The N64 Turoks aged terribly.
      Level design and AI suck. Story is nonexistent. The only positives are a few stand out weapons and the death animations.
      Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are by far better, especially Perfect Dark.
      The 90s Turok comics were great though, actual story and characters. Kept the more mature rating too.
      Doesn't seem the remasters revived the franchise. There was even a new Turok comic in 2017. Must've not sold well though as it only lasted a few issues.

    If there's one thing I hated about the early HD era is how gray everything is. Even something like Turok, that takes place in a jungle, environments just have this Gears of War gray to it. It's so boring. I used to think it was just the Unreal engine, that's what it was good at so that's what developers created but then something like Guilty Gear Xrd comes along and proves that Unreal can do some super awesome stuff graphically. I grabbed it on the PS4 and was amazed but even the PS3 version of that game is beautiful. I guess color is for pussies or something because these dude-bro games never seem to use it aside from ketchup crimson for the blood effects.

More importantly, you seem to be one of the only major game reviewers who remembers that there were actually games released in years 2006-2012. This was when I was in college and actually had time and money to play a lot of the middleware (a category that's all but disappeared now), so it's really nice to see reviews for the lesser-known titles of an increasingly distant era.

    Sadly they never made more games after this its not a bad game just not as good as past games in the series.

      And that's why I call them: Ungraceful sequels/reboots.

      There was one planned but it was cancelled during the 2008 recession

    Call me a nitpicker, but one thing that bothers me just looking at this footage is how slow Turok moves compared to the other games in the series. I’ve never played a Turok game before, but the previous games all looked like they had a pretty sweet movement speed. Here, it honestly looks like Turok is moving at the speed of Ethan Thomas from Condemned: Criminal Origins. Compare this to other reboots of older FPS games like DOOM and Shadow Warrior, which, even though they came out later, had a brisk movement speed. Here, it just looks like you’re moving through molasses.

      His slow movement speed becomes more apparent when you're being chased down by a T-Rex. If you have no solid objects to circle around, you will be caught almost instantly. Btw, that means instant death animation (being eaten).

      T1 and 2 levels are huge though. And they have very boring missions where you need to find switches and "keys" in maze like environments. The remasters also add notifications on where to go so that the player won't be completely lost.
      They were still entertaining because they looked rather good at the time and the music in at least in the first two games were good.
      The original PC conversions actually cut down the music of some levels for the PC, this was before mp3 were used, but at least the remasters fixed this.

      Hirnlego999 After writing this comment, I actually went back and played the NDS Remaster of Turok 2, and I have to say that I enjoy it wholeheartedly. The gore system is nice, the guns feel satisfying to use, and the levels, while confusing at times, feel varied and expansive with lots of little secrets that encourage you to explore.

    Sad how turok went down but if they all come and get together it can make the biggest comeback
