Turok screenshots (360/PS3)

[Everlost_MI]

Worthplaying (http://www.worthplaying.com/) has posted new screenshots (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=34587&mode=thread&order=0) of Turok for your viewing pleasure. The title is being developed for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and is slated to drop either in Q4 of 2006 or Q1 of 2007.

ugh--everytime i summon the courage to post a thread it gets replaced and i get no love! anyways, i think there are some sweet ideas, they sure are pretty, but it all seems so generic.

"After the ship is shot down while approaching the planet, Joseph Turok must use his instincts and elite military training to elude an army of well-trained soldiers, and the ravenous, unpredictable creatures that populate the dangerous environment. Joseph Turok's mission? Survive at all costs."

hilarious.

hilarious.

Further more, JOE Turok! ROFL!

[jeffbax]

I have no idea of how to take this game. It seems like they threw everything Turok about it away. Why can't people leave the Space Marines to the ones who do it best and most consistently :(

It had such a cool atmosphere as a Native American.... too bad the Turok on Xbox sucked so bad.

[Deadend]

I would prefer Turok to be funny. With ridible raptors. It would be awesome to ride around on a raptor while shooting things with a rocket launcher.

Or something like this...

hilarious.Hilarious AND an almost carbon-copy of Far Cry, where here "ship" replaces "boat."

[ezra]

This smells like a total bastardization of the turok franchise. I remember that game being quite good at one time. This is basically (as KarmaGhost mentioned) far cry with the turok label slapped on it.

[monkeyidol]

First thing I thought of when I saw the pictures.

FarCry+Quake = New Turok.

Thanks for the unoriginal space marine game. Bastards.

[Rook34]

I loved the original Turok on N64, and even liked the second one, though not as much (Monkeymode rocked), but since then I'd sooner wipe my ass with steel wool than spend money on Turok. It used to be such a cool license...

They should just go back to the basics. Cool weapons that were WAY over the top and dinosaurs. That's it. Well, maybe a few humans, too. But THAT's it. This game seems to have none of what made Turok so damned cool in the first place.

[Watership]

umm.. Where is the fog? This can't be Turok without thick, dense, close fog.

[Blue]

Good Lord does that look awful, and I'm not even near what I would call a graphics-whore. Whew. Why is it that a good deal of the graphics for up-coming generation titles appear to have this bizzare plastic gloss sheen to them? Is it just me?

And I agree wholeheartedly with the raptor-riding comment.

[VolantDave]

Great! They turned TUROK into a space marine. I have a feeling that PREY is going to out-Turok .. Turok.

[Adam Blue]

It's seriously odd the direction they went with this...but who knows. I liked the N64 games. They were backed by a pretty good story.

[Rival]

No Native-Americans wearing designer jeans?! This does not deserve the Turok name.

Exactly. Turok is no white man!

[hund_]

this is on the unreal3 engine.

guess we should call it gears of turok ;)

[HALO 32]

well now lts not be hasty, no one has seen this Turok in action, ok so the name is stupid, and it seems like a rip off of Far Cry and perhaps Quake but it may be good. We just dont have all the info or a trailer to automaticaly come to these conclusions, we will just have to wait...or maby i am wrong and this game sucks ass

[gzsfrk]

I just can't imagine any Turok being good at this point; as others have mentioned, it just seems like a desparate attempt to milk a license that expired two or three iterations ago.

Of course, I hear Tomb Raider Legends was actually pretty good, so maybe there's help for Turok as well.

[robotfighter]

The stench of "the suck" is pretty heavy on this one. When I heard they were doing a new Turok and trying to flush away the taint of the Xbox version, I was thinking it might be cool. But the new "stranded space marines" story is so tired. I'm guessing the only real "Turok" left to this game is dinosaurs and the guy's name. Figures somebody like Buena Vista would hose this

[Nominal]

Stabbing dinosaurs to death with a knife in the first N64 Turok game brought me a lot more joy than was probably safe.

The other Turoks... not so much.

[Lon Lon Rabbit]

Turok 1 and 2 were decent, Rage Wars was above average multiplayer fun, and Turok 3 was crap; it was also when it became full of mutants/space marines/robo cops.

I never played the xbox version, but seeing this phrase as a feature for the new one, "Humans are your primary enemy - highly-trained soldiers challenge players with sophisticated AI and advanced tactics" = no dinos = no sale.

[Krom]

That screen with the raptor things jumping on those guys looks awesome and you know it.

[popeye34]

I think they f**cked up after turok 2, but then again turok 2 was just confusing as hell with the long ass maze like maps, and they couldnt really conncet the first with the second and so on..
If they rea;;y want to bring back turok, they should just remake the very first TUROK. That one had everything and then some, and till this day i day it was just as good or even better fps shooter the goldeneye64.
Imagine fighting the T-Rex in the unreal engine3 and using the chronoseptor.
And who can forget the last fight with the campainer????

Turok 1 was by far the best turok game ever. Modern and futureristic weapons. with medium to hard to solve puzzles and maze. SIGH THE MEMORIES OF PLAYING THAT SWEET AS GAME.........OH TUROK where or out though?? TUROK JUST REMAKE THR FIRST TUROK DAMMIT

[Morratut]

I loved Turok 1 and 2 on the N64. I would love to see a good Turok game agan.

[DeadPixel]

The original Turok is the only FPS to ever actually cause motion sickness in me. I think it had something to do with the constant body wobbling, I guess emulating natural body movement, of a DRUNK!

[lost]

Maybe it turns out the space marine is a native american and Turok appears in a dream and gives him dinosaur hunting skills?

Evolution was crap, I didn't particularly enjoy the N64 ones either.

[phantomhitman]

i love hunting raptors with bow and arrows.

[popeye34]

LOst
you my friend is the definition of true lame ass.
For nobody to love the first turok, really has to be a complete moron, and by the sounds of it "WE GOT A WEINER"
Turok 1 was the only fps, besidea GOLDENEYE64 that truly paved alot of ways for future fps. Not doom or quake or half-life kind of way, but and adventurish fps kind of way.
Remeber the idea of finding the pieces to build the ultimate gun "the chronoceptor". All that is pretty original
The campainers henchmen riding rocket blating tricerotops. That was an awsome game. and your idea of the best turok game was the one on that LAME-BOX TUROK EVOLUTION-CRAP REJECT.
GET A LIFE YOU HOMO

[dimsumx]

Am I the only one that's thinking this game might turn out alright?

I kinda like the whole idea of rebranding the license...there's only so much you can do with the same concept over and over again before people start complaining that 'Oh, it's not like the original...it doesn't meet up with expectations'. With this new Turok, they don't even bother saying this is a sequel or anything. We need to look at this as a new game, with similar themes.

I mean, do some of you even know that Turok was originally a comic to begin with? The Turok comic itself was rebranded twice as far as I can tell, when it went from Valiant to Acclaim (or Akklaim, whichever). Nothing wrong with that. It's kinda like what marvel is doing with the whole Ultimate line, and it's doing great for them. Why can't it apply to this game as well?

edit: Turns out, the Turok brand has gone through 4 changes...Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turok) ftw.

[Xerxes]

They should stop production... Go back to the drawing board... I mean if next gen games cost so much more as they say, shouldn't a programmer or art lead or somebody just like protest against working on this crap. I mean fire the design lead already. He's what's known as a hack riding on the Turok name. And riding it into the ground.

Generic ass space marine... NEXT...

[Xerxes]

It's like Michael Pacman is GHOST HUNTER... Turn him into a black guy with vacuum back pack. Oh in the future and in space. Fighting alien ghost... Give me a gawd damned sign bonus, cause that's a good a idea and Joe Turok.

Edit: or would it be Ghost Hunter staring Michael PACMAN...
Get your Pacman screens...

Just keep in mind that "Joe" was something someone nicknamed him with in the forum. Joseph and Joe are completely different. Just calling this character Joe already just shows how much you just want to hate this game before even trying it out.

I mean, you guys might as well say the following about other games:

Gears of War - Marines fighting Aliens
Resistance: Fall of Man - Army fighting Aliens...in WW2.
Prey- Native American fighting Aliens...in space.
Halo 3 - Space Marine fighting Aliens...and Zombies

So what's wrong with one more Space Marine fighting Dinosaurs?

[Xerxes]

Turok has background... Like I said with Pacman, strip the yellow ball and paint him up is a new fad. I mean hell I'd even bite if was still a native american, and the shipped crashed into the Lost Valley. Dinosaurs don't have squat to do with the future.
