  • For the 10th anniversary of the Game Awards, Saber Interactive treated fans around the world to the long overdue return of a gaming legend: the Dinosaur Hunter himself, Turok. In this video, Kyle, a Turok super fan, provides his analysis of just what's going on in the brief announcement trailer, drawing comparisons to classic entries in the franchise such as Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, Turok Evolution, and yes, even Turok 2008.
    Is this the Doom-esque reboot we all hoped for? Or a misguided trend-chaser? Kyle weighs in.

    I hope it's Oblivion, in Turok 3 it's explained that Oblivion is after the bearers of the light burden because it's the only thing that has hurt him before.

    Turok should have been a boomer shooter at the least, at most something that perfectly matches the feel of the 1st and 2nd game with the remastered visuals of the Turok 2. Not sure how to feel about this one.

    • @kyleandjomo

      I think this still has potential, but yeah, not the obvious choice. A boomer shooter would have been less controversial, for sure.

      @@jorgemendizabal3069 Much like Turok 3, Evolution's ending looked like it was leaving the door open for a sequel. Otherwise, why let Tyrannus escape? Unfortunately the game is over 20 years old and wasn't well-received, so a follow-up seems unlikely. The best outcome would be a Night Dive remaster, maybe with some tweaks to improve the storytelling.

      @ personally, I get nauseous few mins into FPS games. I never really got to enjoy the older N64 Turok games for that reason. As much as I rocked with Golden Eye 007, Armorines, Perfect Dark, etc., they did a number on me 😅 that being said, I’m already happy with the 3rd person direction they chose for this. Hopefully, everything else works together well, and it turns out great

  • @loganwhitney4005
    @loganwhitney4005 Місяць тому +4

    I'm not a fan of the 3rd person perspective, but even more I really really don't like the idea of the exo-suits or whatever they are. As for the lore, I imagine all the stuff we know about Turok from the old games will be filed off. Seems likely to me that the rights to all the Turok (TM) stuff outside the name, like the Tal-Set, the Fireseed Clan, Oblivion, etc., are still held with the rest of the comics they tied into. Kind of like that cutesy Turok game was designed around the OG Gold-Key comics but....cuter. This will likely be Turok in name only. I get it. I'm just not sure I want it.

    • @kyleandjomo
      @kyleandjomo  Місяць тому +1

      Fair enough. If there's a legal reason why they can't use more of the material from the Acclaim games, this direction suddenly makes a lot more sense. Still, this was a pretty brief trailer, I do hold out some hope that the alien threat will at least invoke the old games in spirit, if not outright using the same characters.

    Unfortunately Turok 2 (1998) is till peak Turok I was so excited then so let down. Bruh! Turok doesn't need an exo-suit, just a decent shotgun and can-do attitude. I hope others love it and ill keep watch but it's not shaping up to be the return to form I'm excited to play yet.

    my problem with the whole game is if they made a online co-op game why didnt they remake Rage wars and put some more story in the fights because there would be so much to explain or extent
    but no we got a generic third person Dinosaur shooter with Hightech stuff that looks like Ark meets Horizon Zero Dawn with mission types from Warhammer 40k

    • @kyleandjomo

      While I'm maintaining some optimism, this direction does seem to be more controversial than just making a standard FPS. Perhaps if it looked more like classic Turok from a gameplay perspective, fans would be more open to the new visual style, or vice versa. Since they've only shown a little so far, I'm hoping subsequent trailers will maybe ease concerns.

      ​@@JPalinkas1993 Has it been confirmed anywhere that it's open world? Definitely, I can see that being a turn off. My impression was that it would still be somewhat linear. Crafting would also be an unpleasant surprise.

    this is just another attempt to make it E for everyone. they want new people to play it. imagine if they didnt have all the fast pace, 3rd person, flashyness, co op or exosuits. game would flop for most just cuzz it doesnt have any of those things i listed. Most kids dont want to play games that are slow and tactical . not to mention this game will most likely have MICROTRANSACTIONS, COSMETICS, and LIVE SERVICE ONLY! . no off line gameplay at all. the only thing turok is the name. way to ruin yet another great game IP. you can litteraly name this anything else and it wouldnt matter. call the game Hunter: Origins and ppl wouldnt even know it was turok till someone said the name turok

      I do fear they'll go for a teen rating, unfortunately. As to your other point, call me an optimist, but I think the monetization model will look more like modern Resident Evil games than it will free-to-play live service PVP titles. I think this game will function as a single-player type campaign experience that's more fun if you bring friends along, and not some endlessly updated Destiny-type looter shooter. Hopefully I don't end up with egg on my face for saying that!
