The Turok series has had something of a tumultuous history. Once held up by Nintendo fans as an N64 headliner, the Turok games steadily declined in quality, with Turok Evolution seemingly putting the final nail in the coffin. That, obviously enough, wasn't to be the end of the story. Buena Vista Games picked up the license and put Propaganda Games to work on a new instalment. From what we've seen this is shaping up to be the game Turok fans have been craving, with lush Unreal Engine 3-powered environments, some seriously massive prehistoric predators, and an emphasis on believable AI that makes the world of the game feel like a living, breathing ecosystem. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the game, however, is the fact that the player is an interloper in this primeval world, on the tail of a war criminal named Kane. Dinosaurs are both a threat to the player and a tool in your arsenal that can help you gain the upper hand in the fight against Kane and his troops. To get the low-down on how the game is progressing, IGN caught up with Josh Holmes, the VP at Propaganda.
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
This series is why i got into shooters and was the first time i gave FPSs a chance and actually got me into Xbox because Halo seemed so simular in gameplay and to this day i still think Xbox's style is close to older Nintendo's feel. Bring it on.
I never played the series before but I did put it on my watch list when gamespot originally had it listed for last holiday season. The story sounds decent, I hope the gameplay will match it.
brings back memories. One of the early FPS's I remember playing on a console, aaaaah memories. Then there was Goldeneye 007 that really ate up my hours of college. 4-player split screen, after classes, just priceless. The guns in Turok were very creative at the time, I wonder what they will have this time around.
Imagine the Crysis Engine with this game....anyhow I'll probally get this, since I've seen and played the last ones and this is Next-Gen, I can't wait.
I forgot about Perfect Dark and Golden eye.
Why would somebody dissagree with my post #1 thats the way it was/is for me, thats somthing that can not be dissagreed with lol. Dam you #3 you beat me to my edit, DAAMMM YOOUUU fine chick talking to me, DOUGH!.
Because it made me realise how limited the PS2 was and I traded up for an Xbox and Halo.
I remember loading up Turok on the PS2 and was greeted with some ok visuals but then I moved my character around to find choppy framerates, small draw distances and foliage that reacted like it was made out of rubber. Mind you, Killzone wasn't much of an improvement when it was released a couple of years later...
People may moan about FPS games but at least the Xbox got them right more often than not!
