"Turok enjoys an extra dimension that no other shooter can match."
More than 10 years ago, Nintendo 64 received its first major first-person shooter. Golden Eye 007 is remembered as the leader in MOA (Multiplayer Obsession Addiction), but before Rare's classic landed on store shelves, a game arrived that was based on a little-known comic and inspired by the success of Jurassic Park – Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.
Though its future looked bright in 1997, there was a time when we didn't know what would happen to Turok. Once Acclaim (the game's original publisher) couldn't survive any longer, it was feared that the series would be lost forever.
Salvation came when Disney Interactive picked up the rights to continue the Turok franchise. With a stronger financial backing, PS3 and Xbox 360 technology, and a dedicated development team at the helm, the series appears to be back on track to reclaiming its crown. To find out just how well the game is coming along, GameZone spoke with Associate Director Tim Lewinson.
The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.
I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.
I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.
Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.
And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.
I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.
Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.
We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.

Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
