Turok: Evolution, a Twenty Year Reunion

WayTooManyGames' Leo Faria: "That’s the shocking part about revisiting Turok: Evolution after all these years. I expected a lot worse. It wasn’t entirely bad. Without a doubt, the worst “classic” Turok, but one that still feels legitimately like a Turok game, unlike the reboot released a few years later. It clearly feels rushed and incomplete, but signs of Iguana’s talent are present throughout the game. Will Nightdive Studios ever decide to bring this bad boy back from the dead? Considering they’re not even willing to remaster Shadow of Oblivion, an actually good Turok title which absolutely deserves some extra love, I highly doubt it. Honestly though, I think Turok: Evolution deserves a second chance, if you’re curious about the franchise. As long as you ignore the dumb-as-hell storyline and its insane loading times, you’re in for some mindless fun."

Turok: A Game Series in Need of a Reboot

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.

BriBri361d ago

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.

GoodGuy09361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

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.

While the N64 Turoks were well-received and influential games, they didn’t really need to be much more than playable to find success.

So Bad it’s Good- Turok: Evolution was Intense!

Banished to the bargain bins and almost universally condemned by critics, Turok: Evolution is remembered in the public’s eye as the retarded stepchild of the Turok series. Released in 2002 for the PS2 and GameCube, the Xbox port was eventually canceled for North America after reception of the game reached developers. However, some of us …

Zjet2897d ago

I loved and still love this game, played through it on Gamecube about 4 months ago, pretty solid game too be honest, few difficulty spikes here and there but really fun and neat setting.

Hoffmann2897d ago

Why did you shoot the harmless Stegosaur :(

Tedakin2897d ago

Not afraid to see I played it and beat it. They need to make a new Turok and do it right. Something like Doom.
