Let's ask Night Dive Studios for a remaster guys! Hit them up on Facebook, IG, Twitter, own website, we have to show interest! Let's make it happend boys! Also. I forgot to mention that the game should have had checkpoints and a quicksave option, along with a weapon wheel like in T1 instead of having to search for the right weapon during combat which is quite frustrating.
Nah no checkpoints or maybe have it an option but a weapon wheel 100% and when you open it you can toggle a grenade, spider mine, or dark matter cube and make the sticky grenade better and make it have a land mine effect possibly? But being able to throw a grenade with a button would be cool.
Or a quicksave option like in most of PC FPS, it prevents escaping the game due to frustration and also allows to try a lot of stuff, like killing NPC for fun, or to see if it failed a mission
Multiplayer on console was amazing. Please let there be solid lobbies with active players. So much fun split-screening this game, but online multiplayer would be great
@@crochetvampire You know what you gotta do man, we have to do our part too, go let them know how much we want this to happend. If you're reading this, shoot Night Dive Studios a message, and let them know how bad we want this to happend. Even if it takes years, we still gotta show them that there's clients on the line.
This game definitely needs the Nightdive Studios remastered treatment. Various bug fixes, quality of life improvements, fixing the controls, added checkpoints, and other things would be able to enhance the game and give us what it should’ve been. They also added cut content back in the third game so I’m sure we’d see the snow level with wolves. I’m sure that with fixed controls and checkpoints I’d probably enjoy the flying sections since I liked Star Fox and other rail shooter flying games (too bad Nintendo killed that franchise through incompetence, weird gimmicks nobody wanted, and refusing to learn from their mistakes and build on what worked). A few other games I’d LOVE to see get the Nightdive Studios remastered treatment are Vivisector Beast Within, Command and Conquer Renegade (this weird C&C spinoff fps), and Unreal 1998 (it’s so weird how Epic unlisted everything related to Unreal. That decision made zero sense).
The snow level was something I came up with, the image was AI generated. But the game originally included wolves and other enemy types that were completely scrapped. I mentioned the snow level to emphasize what they could have done.
@@DeHustlendeMoruk A remake is a long shot. Not happening. A good remaster with better lighting, remodeled models like they did with Turok 3, and having an online multiplayer implemented would sell like hotcakes.
@@jamesmyers660 Are you stυpιd? Everything mentioned in the video is not public information for any AI to be aware of, its purely my opinion and experience, I've personally played this game hundreds of times and know what i'm talking about.
@@jamesmyers660 I don't mean to take sides here, but how can it be AI when he talks about something then shows it on the screen? He clearly edited the video himself. I gave AI a shot. And it just briefly touches on the introduction, gameplay, graphics, and sound. It doesn't get to the nitty-gritty laying it all out. At the end of the day, he got 13,000 views, and you get 5, so, who's really the clown?
My first FPS was as a kid. I never beat the story mode, but I LOVED the multiplayer as a kid with friends, so I have fond memories of it. I hope for a remaster regardless.
It would be foolish not to remaster this game. Such easy fixes with giving us the damn guns on all of the levels and a few other things would make this a banger game my brothers and all my cousins and uncles would 100% buy it we used to really enjoy this game back in the day
Yeah. That's what I said in the end. Evolution doesn't need much work and has the most clients on the line. T3 was a complete mess to remaster and has a smaller audience than T4. But I've been told by a Night Dive developer the source code is missing. So it would have to be reverse engineered. But it's a major plus that it has a solid PC Port for ND to work off of he said. I predict in 3-5 years we'll get one.
@@TheGamingChad. I sure hope so, as long as you don't view turok evolution as a turok game I think it was a solid fun game overall. A remaster would make me cream my jeans, also you would have to upload some speedruns again lmao.
@@TheGamingChad.I know the Star Wars Bounty Hunter remaster is nothing to do with Nightdive, but that game appeared to be remastered very quickly (and there was no pc version for the original game so that’d mean no source code right)? I know there were issues with Remastering Turok 3 which is why I think there was a big delay but like to think an Evolution remaster could be a much shorter wait….
Imagine this: a remaster of this game with flight moments as bonus skippable missions to unlock unecessary, but cool, lore + a multiplayer with bots, inspired by Rage Wars :) I love the fact it is linear, even if I didn't try this game yet, it might seem cool to have non linear games, but sometimes it's a pain to navigate and playing to them become a chore. It's like some open worlds finishing in walk simulators. Sometimes linearity is cool as it permits a story to be told without unecessary stuff.
Turok Evolution is the prequel to TK1. Nightdive Studios can do a great job with Evolution adding its deleted content and maybe re adjusting some of the flying levels. Or, they can even redesign some of those levels. Evolution is a way longer game than TK3, and it has way better levels also re-introducing the dinosaurs.
Maybe it's just me! The way you said how the grenades harm you more than your enemies was funny. Your writing has some subtle satire that goes well with this review. The game itself is already kinda of a meme which just adds to the humor.
I did not like this game, not because of what it was, but because it replaced what I really wanted. I wanted a sequel to Turok 3, especially since it ends on a cliffhanger. Instead we got a prequel that nobody asked for.
It starts off fun, then right off the bat, Bird levels. They keep going on forever. I can't stand them. The overall flow and atmosphere of the game are nice. Simply put i wish it reintroduced some of the most iconic weapons and had more enemy variety. More ground levels, at the cost of flying levels.
I was actually looking around online for some TK4 cancelation or something. But I couldn't find out if they even had in mind making it. I would definitely love it if Nightdive Studios would take over and finish this old retro story with its sequel.
Yeah...when you have cliffhangers this old, it *REALLY* stings. I wanna see what happens to Adon upon betraying the Council of Voices in hopes of resurrecting Joshua. I wanna know more about that shadowy figure girl the Council brought in to supposedly hunt Adon.
This exactly. The story of Turok 3 was great and really built up anticipation, then this prequel that no one cares about. Then they just scrapped the series whole story for some space marine trash?
Honestly i feel one of its biggest downfalls was the beginning levels, as a kid i never got passed these, i either got lost or just didn't know how to progress. Besides the flying levels i feel the rest are way better for bringing the player in. Just my 2 cents great video!
In my opinion the largest mistake the devs made was rewriting the engine circa turok 3. It lead to poorer quality animations and more linear feeling levels. I enjoyed the snappy quick portals in Turok 1 and the vastness and scale of Turok 2. I just wish they had taken their lessons from those games and applied them instead of trying to fix what wasn't broken. Despite all of this. Evolution has grown on me, as Turok 3 did before it. Because although flawed I can see what they were trying to do, and it seems like most of the issues had to do with Acclaims mismanagement and poor leadership.
In my opinion Turok 1 and 2 was just one of those ''Where the f*** do I go kind of games'' with random annoying back tracking and finding keys all the damn time. It's NOT FUN! Atleast Turok Evolution stuck to true action FPS stuff. Sure Turok 1 and 2 does that a little bit too.. But in general they are boring Key searching games.
I dont mind the first flying level while i hate the controls but yeah they get more obnoxious with terrible checkpoints as games goes i really love the ground levels though
The game starts off fun, then right off the bat, boom Bird levels. They keep going on and on. I can't stand them. The overall flow and atmosphere of the game are nice. Simply put, I just wish it reintroduced some of the most iconic weapons and had more enemy variety. Instead of those lame flying levels, some more ground levels would amplify the quality and fun of the game so much more.
@@TheGamingChad. also a flaw of this game is the absurd fall damage lol talset can break his ankles getting off his bed...and it doesnt even have consistency,sometimes you get hurt bad with simple jumps sometimes you dont
Now that I've watched it, i kinda regret it because it ruined all the mystery if i were to play it for the first time. I hesitated but i couldn't resist. I wanted to make a first impressions video but now the mystery is gone. I didn't wanna watch it. Damn. @@Tamikiry
It's probably already been said but... 0:48 That's a Styracosaurus, not a Triceratops :P And I too, personally, would give an arm and a leg for a remaster of Evolution. This game actually had a PC port, so it wouldn't be quite as much of a chore for Nightdive to remaster it as opposed to Turok 3. I'm hoping that in 2024, we'll at least get a teaser/announcement that it's in the works. There was a 2 year gap between the remasters of Turoks 1 and 2, followed by a 6 year gap between 2 and 3, so I'm hoping that we'll get an announcement for Evolution sometime this coming year, with a planned release date for sometime in 2025. Might not end up happening quite like that, but a man can at least hope lol
If i had to bet money, i'd say we will get a teaser in 5-8 years. They even said they are done with Turok for now... I've recently been told that the PC version was not even ported by Acclaim, also a Night Dive developer told me the source code is missing as well, but the fact that it has a PC port is a big plus, he said remastering Evolution would have been a "better" project than T3. T3 was a total mess to remaster.
There’s lots of potential for an Evolution remaster, they could restore all the cut content, add proper secret areas and add a dlc episode with a Lord Tyrannus boss fight. I like to think we get an evolution remaster either this year or next year, could you see this happening?
I hope they remaster this game, because just saw a video call Turok Evolution Director’s Cut, basically the game was suppose to be a much longer gameplay with extended levels and cutscenes. But, who knows, right?
And there were some Glitches that prevented you from Continuing the Level, like Doors that Don't Open, an Alarm that somehow causes it and you can't progress on this 1 Level where you are aboard a huge Walking Base. You can turn off the Alarm but you can't turn off the Glitch. You are Stuck in a Room with no way to Progress.
You missed that the shotgun had load multiple rounds using the second function button. I think you can load up to 4 shots in one blast. It is probably my favorite weapon in the game
I remember as a kid going to blockbuster and PRAYING i got the working copy cuz id always end up with the funky one. Turned 26 and got me and my kid a ps2 and this was the first game i saw my store had and knew i had to play and finish it this time
This along with the N64 trilogy, were my favorites of the Turok Series, i grew up with these 4 games, so they have a lot of Nostalgia memories for me, now hopefully Night Dive can remaster Evolution since they remastered the 3 N64 games
@TheHairyHero As I'm reading this. I'm making a video about it lol. Unfortunately I don't have much to say. It's basically Fortnite with dinosaurs. What have they done...
@ I haven’t looked into into much yet matey. Hopefully that isn’t the case, but now you’ve got me worried. Reckon I’ll revisit the old gems for some nostalgia!
The war in the city levels near the end of the game where phenomenal and really felt like you where in a war. The jungle levels are amazing too I just dont like the amount of flying levels 2 or 3 would have been enough
I have it on the PC too, it is what it is, sometimes it saves, sometimes it doesn't. Some levels are missing music. It's a mess. Just use all levels cheat at this point.
I heard that the GameCube and Xbox versions are the best versions of the game the GameCube port has compressed textures and audio due to the size of the disk but runs at a smooth 60fps and the Xbox port runs at 30fps with the occasional framrate drop but has the best textures and audio and is actually content complete and nothing has been cut out ( though I heard the Xbox version can run at 60fps if the RAAM is upgraded especially on Xbox 360 sinxe it's backwards compatible to it haven't looked into it much to know ) basically both versions have there advantages and compromise's
After getting used to the GC's butter smooth 60 fps it was impossible for me to downgrade to a miserable 30 fps. I had it for PS2 too, although it looked better, i still couldn't do it. And a remaster would offer both! @@alastor-yw7og
If nightdive gives this game a remaster, it would be great if they somehow could fix the issue that allies mostly die from other allies bullets, these guys die mostly through friendly fire than through enemy bullets and sometimes they just walk against a wall or something, that's one of the things what bothered me the most and of course there are many other bugs and glitches like getting stuck or something.
The level Assault where you have to move through the chasm city is my favourite in the game, i love the aesthetic of the city and its soldiers defending it, a lot of fun fighting street to street with your ally soldiers, reminiscent of the halo 2 level outskirts in new mombassa
I really like the flying levels, they just needed a lot more work. You could say that about the how game though. I never liked the aliens and demons in the other Turok games, so I do like just haven the Dino’s and Dino-men. I just wish it had more variety in them. I also prefer the duel weapons because it made it was less cluttered when going through your weapons, which has always annoyed me in doom shooter games. I like having variety, but alway having 10 or whatever weapons on you is a drag to deal with. The game would be better served with a remake to add in more stuff and fix everything
This game needs a remaster and expansion of content. I like to see this game be on steam and also increase the gore and blood amount, and bring back the classic weapons
I’m still crossing my fingers for a Nightdive remaster. Of all the Turok games, this is the one they could do the most with, improvements wise. I have BY FAR the most nostalgia for Evolution, but even I can admit this one wasn’t great.
@ that trailer got the biggest reaction out of me. Will I play Borderlands 4 and Dying Light the Beast more? Yes absolutely, but I knew those games were coming. But a new Turok game was an absolute pipe dream. And yes dude I’ll check into that review !
Nice review. I think the bigger problem I always had with the game was its unnecessarily long loading times on the PS2. I don’t know how they are on other systems but that combined with the story kind of being weird even when you compare it to the other 3 games that came before and the extremely long duration of the game with the same repeating enemies like you mentioned, never really made me the biggest fan of Turok Evolution. It should definitely be remastered by Nightdive Studios absolutely but I have to admit I think it’s the least good of all 4 of the original games. That could change easily though. I actually wouldn’t mind if Nightdive added things onto the game. Just make it flow better with the other 3 as far as story and progression go. Add in unused enemies and level ideas. Also yes the flying levels are bad hahaha
The only reason I want this remastered is because of the modding community. The possibilities are almost endless: more weapons, more levels, new mechanics, more enemies. I know modders, and I'm one myself. I know what we are capable of. I couldn't care less about the actual game. I want to mod the sh!τ οut of this game. I will be bringing back weapons from previous titles. I have my own weapon pack that I created myself. This game is going to break the internet once Night Dive Studios re-releases it. Hopefully we'll get one in 5-8 years, if we don't, we know what to do, bombard them with requests like we did with Turok 3 lmao.
also about the weapons : the alternative usage of every weapon is amazing and for the grenade launcher you have the rochet launcher and similar to scorpion launcher of turok 2 witch is more powerfull than grenade launcher you have the grenades witch can you put them as mines on the ground with the alternative use witch is also amazing if you have to play the game more defensivly when you lack on ammo
Yeah, that doesn't make the cut for me. Every Turok game has a grenade launcher, but not Turok: Evolution. Turok: Evolution has only 3-4 main weapons if you think about it. If you exclude all the side weapons such as the spider mine, dark matter cube, the flamethrower that can only be used once, the nuke, and the gravity gun (which acts more like a tool than a gun), you pretty much end up using the bow, shotgun, and flechette. That's it. Weakest arsenal in the series in my opinion. Turok 1 & 2 had a much better arsenal BY FAR.
Honestly, due to how undercooked this game ended up being, I think a full remake would be the way to go. Like they did with System Shock. And since it's a prequel, it could be a neat way to reboot the Turok series. As a concept, I like the pterosaur levels, I just wish the maps were more open and that they had more checkpoints. Navigating through tight spaces, crashing, and starting all over again, SUCKED!
I remember skipping this game when it came out years ago. Once the 6th generation really got rolling this game was so behind the curve it wasn't even funny. I mean this game was a very poor answer to games like Time Splitters 2, Medal of Honor, Unreal Tournament, Battlefield 1942, Tribes, Metroid Prime, and the mighty Halo. It isn't even in the same ballpark. This coming from someone who loves FPS's and Turok. I wanted this game to really make a great showing. I even remember thinking that with Turok's pedigree it could have very well turned out to be a true competitor to Halo. However, once it dropped...even in 2002 it didn't take much time before people were ripping it to shreds. Save your money they said and they were right. Addendum- Perhaps with the Turok Trilogy Remaster finally being available something can be done to fix this mess. If anyone can do it it's Nightdive Studios.
This game needs a serious overhaul, its rough, like really rough but lots of potential, and that shotgun would kick a lot of ass with mouse aiming because it lacks bullet magnetism. So for games, this is impressive in some regards, atleast it tried to have a story unlike Turok Dino hunter which one ask "what the fuck is going on", even Evolution had some weird story connectors. Speaking of the shotgun, the shotgun does excel at destroying the balloons of parachuting enemies. Also, when it comes to enemy variety, I do not mind seeing the usual 3, 4 enemies (technically 5) because I imagine them as simple grunts. Though that Club axe (its a mysterious on what it is) is very devastating beginning to end, here is a tip, use the poison arrows on the larger slegs and hack at them while they are puking up their guts. As for the flying levels, I do not mind them, infact, I say they are the most consistent maps because I have the MGs and the launcher, not wondering what weapon I will have when I start a level. Ladders suck and holy fuck, those Gunships having one thrusting on the side? Gross, that is disgusting.
150% Agree with you. As you said, the aiming sucks, the weapons suck, very bad weapon design, weapons don't cause as much damage as they should, its really god damn uncomfortable to shoot, there's not grenade launcher, there's not enough or average plasma weapons, there are not enough strategies for the average gamer to put into place, there's not that much of an adventure. I had great high school memories from it, however I can't not longer digest it. Thanks for this great review. There you have a Like & Subscribe.
I like to play the city Arc/Saga from start to end. Escape from the falling city was fun. Buildings crashing down everywhere and giant escape pods launching. Great experience.
and this exact same day i was playing this same game! (i could take it as a simple and fun coincidence or go in full conspiracy mode about Google knowing what im doing, lol)
I remember had a lot of fun with this one back these days. Then I got a new set-up und the game dosn't woke anymore till this day so I couldn't finish it. After I played the crappy but well remastered Turok 3 last week a remaster of Turok Evolution would be great. And if it dosen't give me the fun at least I can close these door for good. 😁 Fingers are crossed Nightdive!!!
Turok 3 Remaster is great! Although I'm starting to realize the game is quite short, the shortest in the franchise to the point where I don't see myself playing it every day for hours. In my opinion T3 has the best atmosphere.
This game becomes somewhat decent if you use savestates. The music is quite well done as well I felt the theme actually fit the game very well. The lack of a way to switch weapons easily is another huge flaw.
@@TheGamingChad. Of course it was a flying simulation.. you start your pterdodactyl with flaps all the way down and lights on and breaks off and heading against the wind from new york to berlin lol
Your video editing reminds me of a United24 style Ukraine war video on RUclips 😝 As for the game, I played a lot of multiplayer of this when I babysat a family friends kid. There is so much potential in that part for any remake as long as they also keep local multiplayer. I remember actually enjoying the flying levels and thinking how great the next star fox game would be… which was star fox adventures… which also has dinosaurs 😂
I feel as if I am alone in loving the flight mission, out of three brothers the other two always handed me the controller when there was a flying mission 😂 I'm sad this game wasn't all it could have been but I'm so happy it was a large part of my childhood, a few years ago I picked it up again and finally beat the entire game without cheats!
Yeah, my father handed me the controller cos he couldn't stand them, i remember i was only allowed to play videogames on weekends and i was like fuck it, flying levels are still better than not playing at all lmao.
I hope if they remaster turok evolution they can try to fix the animal AI. Especially the raptors. Thy are sluggish in this game and their attacks are just lame. Hopefully they make the raptor AI act more like the turok 2/3 variant with the animal moving/attacking faster and doing more long jump attacks. Also the compies too. Make them more faster frantic too.
@@TheGamingChad. Because of the name of the Channel. LOL (actually i didn't ... i meant the mods that appear in the video/"your mod list"/the mods you were using here,etc. But now i'm even more impressed ! ) lol
@@jaodasilva7993 Speaking of mods, i'm working on a major weapon pack mod behind closed doors in hopes of getting an Evolution remaster, i have redesigned some of the most iconic one's. Such as the T1 Pulse Rifle, the iconic Grenade launcher and T1 Autoshotgun. And so much more.
@@jaodasilva7993 Yes, this one is called 'NEW WEAPONS & MORE'. Don't let the 4-star rating fool you, it has 96% positive ratings. If you genuinely liked the mod, all i'm asking in return is a like brother to bring it back to 5 stars. I spent well over a year for this for the community to enjoy for free. Your feedback means a lot.
I must say you have a excellent voice and a very eloquent way of speech in these reviews. Looking forward to your Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion remaster take. Have been playing it myself on the Switch since yesterday and let med tell you, ND knocked it out of the park yet again. Pure magic! If ND retrofitted and applied some of these assets into the old Dinosaur Hunter and Seeds of Evil remasters, I would do backflips. As for Evolution I was never really a fan. The prequel idea is neat and I like how this is Dinosaur Hunter juiced up (in theory at least) but the execution leaves alot to be desired. Tedious gameplay, lackluster level design and hideous pacing bring everything down. ND would have to do some serious overtime to make this work to an acceptable degree. Rewrite entire level sections, layouts, structures and do some massive tweaks pretty much everywhere. I don't know if it's really worth the effort. Now... a Turok 4 that continues after the fall of Oblivion would truly be amazing! I would easily pay $70 for that.
Bro we gotta do our part too, go send Night Dive a message. Telling them how much you want a remaster, we gotta show them interested. Talking to each other wont solve anything.
For that time frame and for what the game was it was legit af! Turok Evolution was my favorite and I liked flying on the pterodactyl I thought it was pretty cool idk maybe that’s just me
dude i loved this fing game as a kid me and me dad would play the crap out of it on my ps2 we would take turns playing the campaign and would even 1 v 1 each other... good times man. my dads too old now for video games :( I really hope they remaster this game and put it on steam one day that would make my world. great video
i couldn't really get into this game mostly because of the flying missions the first two turok games will always be the best if any turok game is underrated i think it's the 2008 reboot that game didn't deserve all the hate it got and it should've gotten a sequel but if you ask me the best dinosaur fps game i've ever played was the king kong game back in 05
Every now and then i get the urge to play this game, so I'll load it up on ps2 but then get a few levels in and just get bored. The same enemies and clunky gameplay get old fast. Sucks because i remember the later levels being cool but i just cbf getting through those early levels
Yeah, they took a back seat when it comes to enemy variety. They created a handfull of them, added a backpack and a helmet to one of them (so that it doesn't look blatantly copy/pasted), and said fuck it. That'll do! Even Turok 3, a significantly smaller project than Evolution was more creative in that aspect. And don't get me started on the half-assed weapons. I was being too generous with my ratings because I didn't wanna trigger people. Instead of creating double the amount of weapons they slapped an attachment and called it a day. You know things are bad when the iconic grenade launcher got replaced by an utterly useless hand-grenade. LAME!
Definitely not a perfect game but certainly one of my favourites for it's theme and style...it's like a more realistic version of Starfox Adventures in some ways as that had a very similar setting.
@@TheGamingChad. I think most of them never played the game cause it realy takes some time cause of no Checkpoints and they just followed the critics of the big players
@@theyuki-fay-multiverse9086 I wanted to say more, but ended up reviewing the weapons for the most part, my bad. And i was being too generous with my ratings coz i didn't wanna trigger people. Minus one more star for the actual rating of the weapons lol. Worst weapons in the franchise. Can't wait for a remaster in what i predict will happend in 5-8 years.
Even if it ain't the best game of the series and even though i havent played it actually when i tried it out on a friends ps2 before but atleast this game was a early memory of my first encounter with turok maybe But then again and while i dont have anything against this game like other people do but also see what issues people have with it but atleast it aint as bad as turok 2008
I wouldn't know 2008 was Turok if it wasn't called Turok, that game was ass, played it once and never missed it ever since. Turok Evolution needs the remaster treatment the most, i predict in 3-5 years we're gonna get one, if not, we bombard Night Dive Studios about it lol. Not to add pressure, just to remind them that clients are on the line, waiting for it.
You say "no one asked for flying missions" but flying games were EXTREMELY popular in that era and the flying missions were some of my favorite levels. So personally I think in your reviews you should resist the urge to speak on other people's behalf.
When did Turok become a flying game? The endless flying missions in Evolution didn't sit well with the majority of the fanbase. Your personal favorites don't define the entire Turok community. If those flying levels were kept short, maybe nobody would have had an issue. A significant portion of the Turok fanbase didn't find them as enjoyable, and for most, it felt like a major departure from the core Turok experience. Like i said. All that time and effort dumped into those endless skies could've been used to amp up the actual Turok experience. More weapons, enemies, levels, mechanics, actual boss fights. You know, the stuff that makes Turok what it is.
@@TheGamingChad. Turok Evolution is a pretty long damn game and I feel the few flying missions did not take away the experience and in fact added and expanded on it in a better way. Whether or not reviews at the time railed on it or not it was a good change and people are always resistant to change. The flying sections were extremely well and during the release window of Turok Evolution arcade flying games were extremely popular. On top of that it was extremely common for games to have mini games that strayed from the main gameplay loop. Also the time Turok Evolution came out was dense with other titles, its graphics were not the greatest, and had very little effective marketing. Back in the day Turok Evolution was indeed a house favorite for my friends and I and never once did I ever hear them complain about flying. The flying missions are just a scapegoat internet reviewers commonly use.
While I get that Turok Evolution was a long game and the flying missions didn't ruin the experience for you, let's be real. As refreshing as they might have been, they just dragged on forever. Dedicating a whopping 40-50% of the entire game to flying. Sure, flying games were in at the time, but it doesn't change the fact that the balance was off. The core Turok experience got sidelined, and for many of us, it felt like an overindulgence in something that didn't quite fit the franchise. Just because it was a trend doesn't mean it was the right move for Turok. And let's not brush off legitimate critiques as a scapegoat - the flying missions took up a significant chunk of the game, and that's a valid concern for fans who expected more of the classic Turok vibe. Do you know what the first thing modders are interested in doing when a remaster comes out? Replace all the flying levels with ground levels...@@AlternateKek
@@TheGamingChad. Ill just have to agree to disagree because in my opinion the flying missions were great, well designed, and fun, and belonged in the game. Whether or not its a popular opinion is not of my concern at this point because those levels exist and im glad they do.
Sure, but once we get a remaster, we'll take matters into our own hands, and throw these flying levels straight into the trash can where they belong. That's why I want a remaster the most, to create more ground levels. Add more weapons and enemies and turn it into the game we hoped it would be.@@AlternateKek
All of TE's flaws from its bugs,to its cut or unfinished content all points to one culprit That it was simply a victim of the time it came out..acclaim was simply too constrained by projects ,ontop of them putting a time restraint on turok meant that the true vision for the game would have never come into fruition. With more dedicated time it could be re released in the mannor it was intended.
Turok: Evolution was a tremendous disappointment to me. After completing my favorite Turok game, Seeds of Evil, I was so stoked to bring home Evolution, back when it first released. The cover art had me hyped. lol But then....3 or so hours into Evolution, I found myself feeling quite bored and lethargic. The music was nowhere near as strong as that of SOE. It was too chill and relaxing... like what? In a Turok game?? The dinos were also nowhere near as scary or aggressive. It was like a petting zoo. The reptilian enemies were also more intimidating in SOE than the ones in Evolution. But the worst part of it all, was the pterodactyl flight sequences. Controlling that thing was a nightmare and I couldn't stop hitting the sides of rock formation, due to the reverse flight control. It was so awkward. Then I'd have to wait about 15 seconds or so, after each fail, just to reload it again. It was frustrating and I hated the game then. Took me well over 2 years to finally power through the entire game without cheats and finish it. Fighting Bruckner was such an underwhelming experience. Not a fan of this game. I don't know how anyone could praise it or want a remaster but... well different strokes for different folks.
Would you not rather have more ground levels, mechanics, weapons, enemies at the cost of sacrificing the bird levels? They make up 40% of the game. So yeah...
Ok but it's still a major departure from the Turok core experience, they should have implemented operating a mech or an armored vehicle similar to T2 or something. They went out of their way and invested a big portion of their time into something completely different.@@Blin240
Shotguns are close range combat weapons? Ofc it wont be great at range😭 Minigun is fine, the spread shouldn’t be changed Dark matter cubes should be 5/5 are you high? Plasma cannon is 5/5 are you high?
-Shotgun is utterly useless after 10 feet. I'm not expecting a shotgun to act like a sniper rifle, but it should still be somewhat effective in mid-range combat. Just like it was in Turok 1. -Dark Matters cube's are 2.5/5, i changed my mind. It's nothing more than just a grenade that explodes on impact. And you can only carry one at a time. It just looks fancy. -Plasma Cannon is mediocre, its very ammo-hungry, and doesn't deal a lot of damage. The Pulse Rifle from T1 was significantly better.
For all its flaws, a brand new Turok game under the name "Turok Evolution" would probably be better, and it can include the original Turok game as a bonus so that players can understand the history of the game.
0:47 is not a Triceratops but a Stiracosaurus. 8:38 You did not play Turok Dinosaur hunter? It looks like the cannon that is as powerful as the Nuke but launches a red bomb

Let's ask Night Dive Studios for a remaster guys! Hit them up on Facebook, IG, Twitter, own website, we have to show interest! Let's make it happend boys!
Also. I forgot to mention that the game should have had checkpoints and a quicksave option, along with a weapon wheel like in T1 instead of having to search for the right weapon during combat which is quite frustrating.
Nah no checkpoints or maybe have it an option but a weapon wheel 100% and when you open it you can toggle a grenade, spider mine, or dark matter cube and make the sticky grenade better and make it have a land mine effect possibly? But being able to throw a grenade with a button would be cool.
Or a quicksave option like in most of PC FPS, it prevents escaping the game due to frustration and also allows to try a lot of stuff, like killing NPC for fun, or to see if it failed a mission
yeah @@kawamikazecheant
Multiplayer on console was amazing. Please let there be solid lobbies with active players.
So much fun split-screening this game, but online multiplayer would be great
@@crochetvampire You know what you gotta do man, we have to do our part too, go let them know how much we want this to happend. If you're reading this, shoot Night Dive Studios a message, and let them know how bad we want this to happend. Even if it takes years, we still gotta show them that there's clients on the line.
This game definitely needs the Nightdive Studios remastered treatment. Various bug fixes, quality of life improvements, fixing the controls, added checkpoints, and other things would be able to enhance the game and give us what it should’ve been. They also added cut content back in the third game so I’m sure we’d see the snow level with wolves.
I’m sure that with fixed controls and checkpoints I’d probably enjoy the flying sections since I liked Star Fox and other rail shooter flying games (too bad Nintendo killed that franchise through incompetence, weird gimmicks nobody wanted, and refusing to learn from their mistakes and build on what worked).
A few other games I’d LOVE to see get the Nightdive Studios remastered treatment are Vivisector Beast Within, Command and Conquer Renegade (this weird C&C spinoff fps), and Unreal 1998 (it’s so weird how Epic unlisted everything related to Unreal. That decision made zero sense).
hell ya brother
The snow level was something I came up with, the image was AI generated. But the game originally included wolves and other enemy types that were completely scrapped. I mentioned the snow level to emphasize what they could have done.
@TheGamingChad That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
I am pretty sure it will get a remaster, a remake would be great as well.
@@DeHustlendeMoruk A remake is a long shot. Not happening. A good remaster with better lighting, remodeled models like they did with Turok 3, and having an online multiplayer implemented would sell like hotcakes.
This game has a a special place in my nostalgia heart, I can’t hate it even the flying parts
I like it, but it could have been more polished and creative.
It’s still more creative than using AI to do your videos for you. 🤡🤡🤡
@@jamesmyers660 Are you stυpιd? Everything mentioned in the video is not public information for any AI to be aware of, its purely my opinion and experience, I've personally played this game hundreds of times and know what i'm talking about.
@@jamesmyers660 I don't mean to take sides here, but how can it be AI when he talks about something then shows it on the screen? He clearly edited the video himself. I gave AI a shot.

At the end of the day, he got 13,000 views, and you get 5, so, who's really the clown?
It's been over 20 years. I'm still waiting for a remaster.
We got Turok 3 remaster few months ago, if we don't get a teaser by Night Dive in 5 or so years, we might have to remind them about Evolution 😜
@@TheGamingChad. We Can Only Hope Bro.......
I WISH PS5 CAN HAVE PLAYABLE PS2 GAMES I WOULD BUY THIS AND OTHER GAMES
Or remake, it’d be just as good and epic as the new DOOM games. 😊
You and me BOTH and whole multitude!😭
My first FPS was as a kid. I never beat the story mode, but I LOVED the multiplayer as a kid with friends, so I have fond memories of it. I hope for a remaster regardless.
If we don't get one in 5-8 years, we should make a movement in which we all tell Night Dive Studios how much we want a remaster of this game lol.
It would be foolish not to remaster this game. Such easy fixes with giving us the damn guns on all of the levels and a few other things would make this a banger game my brothers and all my cousins and uncles would 100% buy it we used to really enjoy this game back in the day
Yeah. That's what I said in the end. Evolution doesn't need much work and has the most clients on the line. T3 was a complete mess to remaster and has a smaller audience than T4. But I've been told by a Night Dive developer the source code is missing. So it would have to be reverse engineered. But it's a major plus that it has a solid PC Port for ND to work off of he said. I predict in 3-5 years we'll get one.
@@TheGamingChad. I sure hope so, as long as you don't view turok evolution as a turok game I think it was a solid fun game overall. A remaster would make me cream my jeans, also you would have to upload some speedruns again lmao.
@@TheGamingChad.I know the Star Wars Bounty Hunter remaster is nothing to do with Nightdive, but that game appeared to be remastered very quickly (and there was no pc version for the original game so that’d mean no source code right)? I know there were issues with Remastering Turok 3 which is why I think there was a big delay but like to think an Evolution remaster could be a much shorter wait….
Imagine this: a remaster of this game with flight moments as bonus skippable missions to unlock unecessary, but cool, lore + a multiplayer with bots, inspired by Rage Wars :)
I love the fact it is linear, even if I didn't try this game yet, it might seem cool to have non linear games, but sometimes it's a pain to navigate and playing to them become a chore.
It's like some open worlds finishing in walk simulators. Sometimes linearity is cool as it permits a story to be told without unecessary stuff.
I’m so good at the flying sections on this game. Pretty awesome dog fights.
Funny enough, if this game’s level select/design was modeled after Turok 1 and 2 then it would be better received.
Turok Evolution is the prequel to TK1. Nightdive Studios can do a great job with Evolution adding its deleted content and maybe re adjusting some of the flying levels. Or, they can even redesign some of those levels. Evolution is a way longer game than TK3, and it has way better levels also re-introducing the dinosaurs.
This was such a fun game to experience as a child. So brutal.
And now we got Turok: Origins.
I dunno why but I laughed more in this video than I should. Something about your humor just did this video right. Thank you for this.
Maybe it's just me! The way you said how the grenades harm you more than your enemies was funny. Your writing has some subtle satire that goes well with this review. The game itself is already kinda of a meme which just adds to the humor.
What about the axe being capable of instantly "curing" headaches 😂 @4:53 @@Omnigear
YES. Haha. Keep up the good work!
I did not like this game, not because of what it was, but because it replaced what I really wanted. I wanted a sequel to Turok 3, especially since it ends on a cliffhanger. Instead we got a prequel that nobody asked for.
It starts off fun, then right off the bat, Bird levels. They keep going on forever. I can't stand them. The overall flow and atmosphere of the game are nice. Simply put i wish it reintroduced some of the most iconic weapons and had more enemy variety. More ground levels, at the cost of flying levels.
I was actually looking around online for some TK4 cancelation or something. But I couldn't find out if they even had in mind making it. I would definitely love it if Nightdive Studios would take over and finish this old retro story with its sequel.
Yeah...when you have cliffhangers this old, it *REALLY* stings.
I wanna see what happens to Adon upon betraying the Council of Voices in hopes of resurrecting Joshua. I wanna know more about that shadowy figure girl the Council brought in to supposedly hunt Adon.
This exactly. The story of Turok 3 was great and really built up anticipation, then this prequel that no one cares about. Then they just scrapped the series whole story for some space marine trash?
@@Falkner09 They clearly weren't the same people when the reboot was made.
Now that Turok 3 has been remastered, hopefully evolution can get a Nightdive remaster next.
I've heard from the community they are done with Turok for now... We will probably get an announcement in 5 or so years, who knows...
Honestly i feel one of its biggest downfalls was the beginning levels, as a kid i never got passed these, i either got lost or just didn't know how to progress. Besides the flying levels i feel the rest are way better for bringing the player in. Just my 2 cents great video!
This game changed my life when I was a kid
Same here
Same Bro.......
me2 brah..
This game and red faction were so underrated
In my opinion the largest mistake the devs made was rewriting the engine circa turok 3. It lead to poorer quality animations and more linear feeling levels. I enjoyed the snappy quick portals in Turok 1 and the vastness and scale of Turok 2. I just wish they had taken their lessons from those games and applied them instead of trying to fix what wasn't broken.
Despite all of this. Evolution has grown on me, as Turok 3 did before it. Because although flawed I can see what they were trying to do, and it seems like most of the issues had to do with Acclaims mismanagement and poor leadership.
In my opinion Turok 1 and 2 was just one of those ''Where the f*** do I go kind of games'' with random annoying back tracking and finding keys all the damn time. It's NOT FUN! Atleast Turok Evolution stuck to true action FPS stuff. Sure Turok 1 and 2 does that a little bit too.. But in general they are boring Key searching games.
@@swemx7403 Turok 2 was a nightmare, never liked this game.
I dont mind the first flying level while i hate the controls but yeah they get more obnoxious with terrible checkpoints as games goes i really love the ground levels though
The game starts off fun, then right off the bat, boom Bird levels. They keep going on and on. I can't stand them. The overall flow and atmosphere of the game are nice. Simply put, I just wish it reintroduced some of the most iconic weapons and had more enemy variety. Instead of those lame flying levels, some more ground levels would amplify the quality and fun of the game so much more.
@@TheGamingChad. also a flaw of this game is the absurd fall damage lol talset can break his ankles getting off his bed...and it doesnt even have consistency,sometimes you get hurt bad with simple jumps sometimes you dont
Now that I've watched it, i kinda regret it because it ruined all the mystery if i were to play it for the first time. I hesitated but i couldn't resist. I wanted to make a first impressions video but now the mystery is gone. I didn't wanna watch it. Damn. @@Tamikiry
@@TheGamingChad. im sure there is even more for us to discover buddy so dw too much if anything im even more hype now it looks ridiculously amazing
It's probably already been said but... 0:48 That's a Styracosaurus, not a Triceratops :P
And I too, personally, would give an arm and a leg for a remaster of Evolution. This game actually had a PC port, so it wouldn't be quite as much of a chore for Nightdive to remaster it as opposed to Turok 3. I'm hoping that in 2024, we'll at least get a teaser/announcement that it's in the works. There was a 2 year gap between the remasters of Turoks 1 and 2, followed by a 6 year gap between 2 and 3, so I'm hoping that we'll get an announcement for Evolution sometime this coming year, with a planned release date for sometime in 2025.
Might not end up happening quite like that, but a man can at least hope lol
If i had to bet money, i'd say we will get a teaser in 5-8 years. They even said they are done with Turok for now... I've recently been told that the PC version was not even ported by Acclaim, also a Night Dive developer told me the source code is missing as well, but the fact that it has a PC port is a big plus, he said remastering Evolution would have been a "better" project than T3. T3 was a total mess to remaster.
I forgot how cool the weapons looked.
There’s lots of potential for an Evolution remaster, they could restore all the cut content, add proper secret areas and add a dlc episode with a Lord Tyrannus boss fight. I like to think we get an evolution remaster either this year or next year, could you see this happening?
I hope they remaster this game, because just saw a video call Turok Evolution Director’s Cut, basically the game was suppose to be a much longer gameplay with extended levels and cutscenes. But, who knows, right?
And there were some Glitches that prevented you from Continuing the Level, like Doors that Don't Open, an Alarm that somehow causes it and you can't progress on this 1 Level where you are aboard a huge Walking Base. You can turn off the Alarm but you can't turn off the Glitch. You are Stuck in a Room with no way to Progress.
What we really need is a Cliff Racer Simulator to experience what it's like to be such a glorious being
You missed that the shotgun had load multiple rounds using the second function button. I think you can load up to 4 shots in one blast. It is probably my favorite weapon in the game
I remember as a kid going to blockbuster and PRAYING i got the working copy cuz id always end up with the funky one. Turned 26 and got me and my kid a ps2 and this was the first game i saw my store had and knew i had to play and finish it this time
Turok evolution is my childhood introduction to gaming , my dad got for me and he helped me beat the game , good times
This along with the N64 trilogy, were my favorites of the Turok Series, i grew up with these 4 games, so they have a lot of Nostalgia memories for me, now hopefully Night Dive can remaster Evolution since they remastered the 3 N64 games
Here after the new Turok announcement..
Love the video buddy, new subscriber here!
@TheHairyHero As I'm reading this. I'm making a video about it lol. Unfortunately I don't have much to say. It's basically Fortnite with dinosaurs. What have they done...
@ I haven’t looked into into much yet matey. Hopefully that isn’t the case, but now you’ve got me worried.
Reckon I’ll revisit the old gems for some nostalgia!
@TheHairyHero Just uploaded. Have a look xD
The war in the city levels near the end of the game where phenomenal and really felt like you where in a war. The jungle levels are amazing too I just dont like the amount of flying levels 2 or 3 would have been enough
The single player for this game never interested me that much, but the split screen was a ton of fun.
You missed the best part of the fletchet gun. the alt fire mode fired the entire magazine at once with SEEKER darts. That blew my mind as a kid
There is no such thing, the Flechette turns into a Minigun. That's it.
9:36 Lmao the AI was so dumb in this game. It was hilarious how they all stood still and just waited to bet crushed instead of moving out of the way
i tried playing this but the pc version is completely broken, does not save, crashes, the aiming is broken, is there a mod that fixes it?
I have it on the PC too, it is what it is, sometimes it saves, sometimes it doesn't. Some levels are missing music. It's a mess. Just use all levels cheat at this point.
@@TheGamingChad. it never saves for me.
I heard that the GameCube and Xbox versions are the best versions of the game the GameCube port has compressed textures and audio due to the size of the disk but runs at a smooth 60fps and the Xbox port runs at 30fps with the occasional framrate drop but has the best textures and audio and is actually content complete and nothing has been cut out ( though I heard the Xbox version can run at 60fps if the RAAM is upgraded especially on Xbox 360 sinxe it's backwards compatible to it haven't looked into it much to know ) basically both versions have there advantages and compromise's
After getting used to the GC's butter smooth 60 fps it was impossible for me to downgrade to a miserable 30 fps. I had it for PS2 too, although it looked better, i still couldn't do it. And a remaster would offer both! @@alastor-yw7og
@@TheGamingChad.Fair
If nightdive gives this game a remaster, it would be great if they somehow could fix the issue that allies mostly die from other allies bullets, these guys die mostly through friendly fire than through enemy bullets and sometimes they just walk against a wall or something, that's one of the things what bothered me the most and of course there are many other bugs and glitches like getting stuck or something.
The level Assault where you have to move through the chasm city is my favourite in the game, i love the aesthetic of the city and its soldiers defending it, a lot of fun fighting street to street with your ally soldiers, reminiscent of the halo 2 level outskirts in new mombassa
Maybe it's because i played the Gamecube Version, but i never had any problems with the aiming, and the shot gun was a room clearer
I really like the flying levels, they just needed a lot more work. You could say that about the how game though.
I never liked the aliens and demons in the other Turok games, so I do like just haven the Dino’s and Dino-men. I just wish it had more variety in them.
I also prefer the duel weapons because it made it was less cluttered when going through your weapons, which has always annoyed me in doom shooter games. I like having variety, but alway having 10 or whatever weapons on you is a drag to deal with.
The game would be better served with a remake to add in more stuff and fix everything
This game needs a remaster and expansion of content. I like to see this game be on steam and also increase the gore and blood amount, and bring back the classic weapons
I’m still crossing my fingers for a Nightdive remaster. Of all the Turok games, this is the one they could do the most with, improvements wise. I have BY FAR the most nostalgia for Evolution, but even I can admit this one wasn’t great.
@@Tropical_j_ Are you aware of the new turok trailer? Watch it if you haven't. And once you're done go watch my review on it that I posted yesterday 😂
@ that trailer got the biggest reaction out of me. Will I play Borderlands 4 and Dying Light the Beast more? Yes absolutely, but I knew those games were coming. But a new Turok game was an absolute pipe dream. And yes dude I’ll check into that review !
Nice review. I think the bigger problem I always had with the game was its unnecessarily long loading times on the PS2. I don’t know how they are on other systems but that combined with the story kind of being weird even when you compare it to the other 3 games that came before and the extremely long duration of the game with the same repeating enemies like you mentioned, never really made me the biggest fan of Turok Evolution. It should definitely be remastered by Nightdive Studios absolutely but I have to admit I think it’s the least good of all 4 of the original games. That could change easily though. I actually wouldn’t mind if Nightdive added things onto the game. Just make it flow better with the other 3 as far as story and progression go. Add in unused enemies and level ideas. Also yes the flying levels are bad hahaha
The only reason I want this remastered is because of the modding community. The possibilities are almost endless: more weapons, more levels, new mechanics, more enemies. I know modders, and I'm one myself. I know what we are capable of. I couldn't care less about the actual game. I want to mod the sh!τ οut of this game. I will be bringing back weapons from previous titles. I have my own weapon pack that I created myself. This game is going to break the internet once Night Dive Studios re-releases it. Hopefully we'll get one in 5-8 years, if we don't, we know what to do, bombard them with requests like we did with Turok 3 lmao.
also about the weapons : the alternative usage of every weapon is amazing and for the grenade launcher you have the rochet launcher and similar to scorpion launcher of turok 2 witch is more powerfull than grenade launcher you have the grenades witch can you put them as mines on the ground with the alternative use witch is also amazing if you have to play the game more defensivly when you lack on ammo
Yeah, that doesn't make the cut for me. Every Turok game has a grenade launcher, but not Turok: Evolution. Turok: Evolution has only 3-4 main weapons if you think about it. If you exclude all the side weapons such as the spider mine, dark matter cube, the flamethrower that can only be used once, the nuke, and the gravity gun (which acts more like a tool than a gun), you pretty much end up using the bow, shotgun, and flechette. That's it. Weakest arsenal in the series in my opinion. Turok 1 & 2 had a much better arsenal BY FAR.
I have no problem with the flying levels, overall I still loved this game ever since I first played this as a toddler.
the best turok ever, if they remake it i hope its not a childish looking 12k game
Real Bro, Real.......
Honestly, due to how undercooked this game ended up being, I think a full remake would be the way to go. Like they did with System Shock. And since it's a prequel, it could be a neat way to reboot the Turok series. As a concept, I like the pterosaur levels, I just wish the maps were more open and that they had more checkpoints. Navigating through tight spaces, crashing, and starting all over again, SUCKED!
Getting this game asap, nostalgia wins this round lol
I remember skipping this game when it came out years ago. Once the 6th generation really got rolling this game was so behind the curve it wasn't even funny. I mean this game was a very poor answer to games like Time Splitters 2, Medal of Honor, Unreal Tournament, Battlefield 1942, Tribes, Metroid Prime, and the mighty Halo. It isn't even in the same ballpark.
This coming from someone who loves FPS's and Turok. I wanted this game to really make a great showing. I even remember thinking that with Turok's pedigree it could have very well turned out to be a true competitor to Halo. However, once it dropped...even in 2002 it didn't take much time before people were ripping it to shreds. Save your money they said and they were right.
Addendum- Perhaps with the Turok Trilogy Remaster finally being available something can be done to fix this mess. If anyone can do it it's Nightdive Studios.
I remember the multiplayer being fun, you can play as a raptor
This game needs a serious overhaul, its rough, like really rough but lots of potential, and that shotgun would kick a lot of ass with mouse aiming because it lacks bullet magnetism.
So for games, this is impressive in some regards, atleast it tried to have a story unlike Turok Dino hunter which one ask "what the fuck is going on", even Evolution had some weird story connectors. Speaking of the shotgun, the shotgun does excel at destroying the balloons of parachuting enemies.
Also, when it comes to enemy variety, I do not mind seeing the usual 3, 4 enemies (technically 5) because I imagine them as simple grunts. Though that Club axe (its a mysterious on what it is) is very devastating beginning to end, here is a tip, use the poison arrows on the larger slegs and hack at them while they are puking up their guts.
As for the flying levels, I do not mind them, infact, I say they are the most consistent maps because I have the MGs and the launcher, not wondering what weapon I will have when I start a level.
Ladders suck and holy fuck, those Gunships having one thrusting on the side? Gross, that is disgusting.
Texas, Emerpus, Madman.
I still know them to this day.
150% Agree with you. As you said, the aiming sucks, the weapons suck, very bad weapon design, weapons don't cause as much damage as they should, its really god damn uncomfortable to shoot, there's not grenade launcher, there's not enough or average plasma weapons, there are not enough strategies for the average gamer to put into place, there's not that much of an adventure. I had great high school memories from it, however I can't not longer digest it. Thanks for this great review. There you have a Like & Subscribe.
Yeah I'm definitely hanging out for a remaster.
I like to play the city Arc/Saga from start to end. Escape from the falling city was fun. Buildings crashing down everywhere and giant escape pods launching. Great experience.
I just wish they kept it brief. Instead of 50%. And focused more on ground levels. Enemies. Weapons.
and this exact same day i was playing this same game! (i could take it as a simple and fun coincidence or go in full conspiracy mode about Google knowing what im doing, lol)
I remember had a lot of fun with this one back these days. Then I got a new set-up und the game dosn't woke anymore till this day so I couldn't finish it. After I played the crappy but well remastered Turok 3 last week a remaster of Turok Evolution would be great. And if it dosen't give me the fun at least I can close these door for good. 😁 Fingers are crossed Nightdive!!!
Turok 3 Remaster is great! Although I'm starting to realize the game is quite short, the shortest in the franchise to the point where I don't see myself playing it every day for hours. In my opinion T3 has the best atmosphere.
This game becomes somewhat decent if you use savestates. The music is quite well done as well I felt the theme actually fit the game very well. The lack of a way to switch weapons easily is another huge flaw.
Turok was never a 'dino hunter' .. it is always a platformer shooter game against monsters with some few dinos in it
@@DESamDE On the same note. It never was a flying simulator either.
@@TheGamingChad. Of course it was a flying simulation.. you start your pterdodactyl with flaps all the way down and lights on and breaks off and heading against the wind from new york to berlin lol
Your video editing reminds me of a United24 style Ukraine war video on RUclips 😝
As for the game, I played a lot of multiplayer of this when I babysat a family friends kid. There is so much potential in that part for any remake as long as they also keep local multiplayer.
I remember actually enjoying the flying levels and thinking how great the next star fox game would be… which was star fox adventures… which also has dinosaurs 😂
Flying levels was a nice addition but they should have kept them brief.
@@TheGamingChad. imagine if star fox adventures had all the flying levels and turok evo had all the ground missions… if only…

Well. It got a lot of flack for a reason though.
NEW TUROK IS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I dont understand the hate for Turok Evolution. The flying stages were awesome. Sure, I had hoped a true Turok 4, but this wasnt a bad title.
Majority didn't like them. If i wanted to buy a flying game i would have bought Star Trek. Big L for going this route.
I feel as if I am alone in loving the flight mission, out of three brothers the other two always handed me the controller when there was a flying mission 😂 I'm sad this game wasn't all it could have been but I'm so happy it was a large part of my childhood, a few years ago I picked it up again and finally beat the entire game without cheats!
Yeah, my father handed me the controller cos he couldn't stand them, i remember i was only allowed to play videogames on weekends and i was like fuck it, flying levels are still better than not playing at all lmao.
i loved this game as a kid. Wish it had a remake .
Contact night dive studios and ask them if we can get a remaster, we the community need to show them interest first.
i put hours into this game as a kid never saw any of these flaws love this game to death
I hope if they remaster turok evolution they can try to fix the animal AI. Especially the raptors. Thy are sluggish in this game and their attacks are just lame. Hopefully they make the raptor AI act more like the turok 2/3 variant with the animal moving/attacking faster and doing more long jump attacks. Also the compies too. Make them more faster frantic too.

Turok 3 is amazing, i just wish it was longer. It felt kinda short.
@@TheGamingChad. I prefer short then too long
I must say you have a excellent voice and a very eloquent way of speech in these reviews. Looking forward to your Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion remaster take. Have been playing it myself on the Switch since yesterday and let med tell you, ND knocked it out of the park yet again. Pure magic! If ND retrofitted and applied some of these assets into the old Dinosaur Hunter and Seeds of Evil remasters, I would do backflips.
As for Evolution I was never really a fan. The prequel idea is neat and I like how this is Dinosaur Hunter juiced up (in theory at least) but the execution leaves alot to be desired. Tedious gameplay, lackluster level design and hideous pacing bring everything down. ND would have to do some serious overtime to make this work to an acceptable degree. Rewrite entire level sections, layouts, structures and do some massive tweaks pretty much everywhere. I don't know if it's really worth the effort. Now... a Turok 4 that continues after the fall of Oblivion would truly be amazing! I would easily pay $70 for that.
The flying levels are great in my opinion
Bro if they remastered or remade this game, I’d pay ANYTHING and play the ever loving **** out of it!!!
Bro we gotta do our part too, go send Night Dive a message. Telling them how much you want a remaster, we gotta show them interested. Talking to each other wont solve anything.
@@TheGamingChad. yes sir🫡 on it!
The pterosaur levels with minimum checkpoints, fragile build and light rail shooter structure with janky controls can feck right off
For that time frame and for what the game was it was legit af! Turok Evolution was my favorite and I liked flying on the pterodactyl I thought it was pretty cool idk maybe that’s just me
Exactly!!!!!!!
dude i loved this fing game as a kid me and me dad would play the crap out of it on my ps2 we would take turns playing the campaign and would even 1 v 1 each other... good times man. my dads too old now for video games :( I really hope they remaster this game and put it on steam one day that would make my world. great video
Still my favorite Turok game, warts and all.

My bad G.
@TheGamingChad. It's aight. I'm used to people only knowing the names of like, 3 dinosaurs lol
EXCUSE ME , To the HELL online multiplayer , its the local mode the iconic aspect of the franchise .
Ask Turok 2008 for more information
I would be happy for a remaster, the question is who owns the rights to it...
i couldn't really get into this game mostly because of the flying missions the first two turok games will always be the best if any turok game is underrated i think it's the 2008 reboot that game didn't deserve all the hate it got and it should've gotten a sequel but if you ask me the best dinosaur fps game i've ever played was the king kong game back in 05
I never understood why they took the exploration out of Turok after 2. It became way too linear!
I personally like the linear design, never liked T2 map design.
Every now and then i get the urge to play this game, so I'll load it up on ps2 but then get a few levels in and just get bored. The same enemies and clunky gameplay get old fast. Sucks because i remember the later levels being cool but i just cbf getting through those early levels
Yeah, they took a back seat when it comes to enemy variety. They created a handfull of them, added a backpack and a helmet to one of them (so that it doesn't look blatantly copy/pasted), and said fuck it. That'll do! Even Turok 3, a significantly smaller project than Evolution was more creative in that aspect. And don't get me started on the half-assed weapons. I was being too generous with my ratings because I didn't wanna trigger people. Instead of creating double the amount of weapons they slapped an attachment and called it a day. You know things are bad when the iconic grenade launcher got replaced by an utterly useless hand-grenade. LAME!
Definitely not a perfect game but certainly one of my favourites for it's theme and style...it's like a more realistic version of Starfox Adventures in some ways as that had a very similar setting.
This is still my favorite game of all time
It would be awesome. But you know what would be perfect? A reboot of the ip in the unreal engine 5.
This is way too hypothetical and unlikely to happend, a remaster with Online mp is more than enough.
Me and my brother used to go ham on this game on the GameCube shoot the smallest lizard it will throw blood everywhere 😆
I have listened to the complaints about Seeds of Evil and Evolution and what i am hearing is " Wha Wha Wha , i want easy games to play mommy " .
I love your review ❤
it's the best for this game out there for sure.
Yeah, i wasted no time. I tried laying it all down. I feel like other reviewers don't really get to point.
@@TheGamingChad. I think most of them never played the game cause it realy takes some time cause of no Checkpoints and they just followed the critics of the big players
@@theyuki-fay-multiverse9086 I wanted to say more, but ended up reviewing the weapons for the most part, my bad. And i was being too generous with my ratings coz i didn't wanna trigger people. Minus one more star for the actual rating of the weapons lol. Worst weapons in the franchise. Can't wait for a remaster in what i predict will happend in 5-8 years.
@@TheGamingChad. Oh no!
Make it happen in 1 year at least xD
Cant wait 8 more years for a remaster 😖😂
Even if it ain't the best game of the series and even though i havent played it actually when i tried it out on a friends ps2 before but atleast this game was a early memory of my first encounter with turok maybe
But then again and while i dont have anything against this game like other people do but also see what issues people have with it but atleast it aint as bad as turok 2008
I wouldn't know 2008 was Turok if it wasn't called Turok, that game was ass, played it once and never missed it ever since. Turok Evolution needs the remaster treatment the most, i predict in 3-5 years we're gonna get one, if not, we bombard Night Dive Studios about it lol. Not to add pressure, just to remind them that clients are on the line, waiting for it.
You say "no one asked for flying missions" but flying games were EXTREMELY popular in that era and the flying missions were some of my favorite levels. So personally I think in your reviews you should resist the urge to speak on other people's behalf.
When did Turok become a flying game? The endless flying missions in Evolution didn't sit well with the majority of the fanbase. Your personal favorites don't define the entire Turok community. If those flying levels were kept short, maybe nobody would have had an issue. A significant portion of the Turok fanbase didn't find them as enjoyable, and for most, it felt like a major departure from the core Turok experience. Like i said. All that time and effort dumped into those endless skies could've been used to amp up the actual Turok experience. More weapons, enemies, levels, mechanics, actual boss fights. You know, the stuff that makes Turok what it is.
@@TheGamingChad. Turok Evolution is a pretty long damn game and I feel the few flying missions did not take away the experience and in fact added and expanded on it in a better way. Whether or not reviews at the time railed on it or not it was a good change and people are always resistant to change. The flying sections were extremely well and during the release window of Turok Evolution arcade flying games were extremely popular. On top of that it was extremely common for games to have mini games that strayed from the main gameplay loop. Also the time Turok Evolution came out was dense with other titles, its graphics were not the greatest, and had very little effective marketing. Back in the day Turok Evolution was indeed a house favorite for my friends and I and never once did I ever hear them complain about flying. The flying missions are just a scapegoat internet reviewers commonly use.
While I get that Turok Evolution was a long game and the flying missions didn't ruin the experience for you, let's be real. As refreshing as they might have been, they just dragged on forever. Dedicating a whopping 40-50% of the entire game to flying.
Sure, flying games were in at the time, but it doesn't change the fact that the balance was off. The core Turok experience got sidelined, and for many of us, it felt like an overindulgence in something that didn't quite fit the franchise. Just because it was a trend doesn't mean it was the right move for Turok. And let's not brush off legitimate critiques as a scapegoat - the flying missions took up a significant chunk of the game, and that's a valid concern for fans who expected more of the classic Turok vibe. Do you know what the first thing modders are interested in doing when a remaster comes out? Replace all the flying levels with ground levels...@@AlternateKek
@@TheGamingChad. Ill just have to agree to disagree because in my opinion the flying missions were great, well designed, and fun, and belonged in the game. Whether or not its a popular opinion is not of my concern at this point because those levels exist and im glad they do.
Sure, but once we get a remaster, we'll take matters into our own hands, and throw these flying levels straight into the trash can where they belong. That's why I want a remaster the most, to create more ground levels. Add more weapons and enemies and turn it into the game we hoped it would be.@@AlternateKek
I mostly remember it not being very fun. I had it on the GC and even had it pre-ordered. Man I was so disappointed when I finally got to play it.
I totally forgot about this game
Me my brothers sis and cousin would play this all the time
Rigth now, who owns the Turok IP?
All of TE's flaws from its bugs,to its cut or unfinished content all points to one culprit
That it was simply a victim of the time it came out..acclaim was simply too constrained by projects ,ontop of them putting a time restraint on turok meant that the true vision for the game would have never come into fruition.
With more dedicated time it could be re released in the mannor it was intended.
Turok: Evolution was a tremendous disappointment to me. After completing my favorite Turok game, Seeds of Evil, I was so stoked to bring home Evolution, back when it first released. The cover art had me hyped. lol
But then....3 or so hours into Evolution, I found myself feeling quite bored and lethargic. The music was nowhere near as strong as that of SOE. It was too chill and relaxing... like what? In a Turok game?? The dinos were also nowhere near as scary or aggressive. It was like a petting zoo. The reptilian enemies were also more intimidating in SOE than the ones in Evolution. But the worst part of it all, was the pterodactyl flight sequences. Controlling that thing was a nightmare and I couldn't stop hitting the sides of rock formation, due to the reverse flight control. It was so awkward.
Then I'd have to wait about 15 seconds or so, after each fail, just to reload it again. It was frustrating and I hated the game then.
Took me well over 2 years to finally power through the entire game without cheats and finish it. Fighting Bruckner was such an underwhelming experience.
Not a fan of this game. I don't know how anyone could praise it or want a remaster but... well different strokes for different folks.
I want Turok: Ascended 😜
I guess im in the minority when it comes to the flying levels. I actually grew to enjoy them as a kid and adult
Would you not rather have more ground levels, mechanics, weapons, enemies at the cost of sacrificing the bird levels? They make up 40% of the game. So yeah...
@@TheGamingChad. honestly i would but i still enjoy the flying
Ok but it's still a major departure from the Turok core experience, they should have implemented operating a mech or an armored vehicle similar to T2 or something. They went out of their way and invested a big portion of their time into something completely different.@@Blin240
@@TheGamingChad. completely valid reasons. I just like the flying levels though I agree with alot of your points
Shotguns are close range combat weapons? Ofc it wont be great at range😭
Minigun is fine, the spread shouldn’t be changed
Dark matter cubes should be 5/5 are you high?
Plasma cannon is 5/5 are you high?
-Shotgun is utterly useless after 10 feet. I'm not expecting a shotgun to act like a sniper rifle, but it should still be somewhat effective in mid-range combat. Just like it was in Turok 1.
-Dark Matters cube's are 2.5/5, i changed my mind. It's nothing more than just a grenade that explodes on impact. And you can only carry one at a time. It just looks fancy.
-Plasma Cannon is mediocre, its very ammo-hungry, and doesn't deal a lot of damage. The Pulse Rifle from T1 was significantly better.
For all its flaws, a brand new Turok game under the name "Turok Evolution" would probably be better, and it can include the original Turok game as a bonus so that players can understand the history of the game.
0:47 is not a Triceratops but a Stiracosaurus.
8:38 You did not play Turok Dinosaur hunter? It looks like the cannon that is as powerful as the Nuke but launches a red bomb
