I Played Every Turok Game And....Here's What I Think

- I played the whole remastered Turok trilogy, and Evolution.
This was a lot of fun, but also very mentally exhausting. I think all of the remastered Turok games are fantastic and Nightdive did an incredible on these. It really makes me hopeful that we might see another Turok game again soon. Hopefully an Evolution remake? Maybe a new game? Not sure yet, but so far these games are all the best we got. So hopefully you'll enjoy my analysis of these games.

My lord, this video continues to grow each time I check up on it. Appreciate you all for stopping by, and a big thanks to all of you who stayed and ended up subbing. Hope you all enjoy the content and there's much more to be made in the future. :D
Part 2 of the video: ua-cam.com/video/sI5EzLuxTwc/v-deo.html
Rage Wars isn't precisely multiplayer only. There is a single player mode ("1 Player Trials"), but obviously it's not the main focus because multiplayer is the first option in the main menu. It's also not just a barebones deathmatch-but-with-bots -- though the only enemies are bots (AI-controlled player characters) in this mode, there's a whole progression system, unlocks, and separate campaigns for each character. Sort of like a fighting game, but each "stage" has its own preset parameters. Oh and there's also a two player version of the trials mode too.
Also, N64 emulation isn't in the same state it was over a decade ago. For most games, it's pretty much solved, and even with a 19 year old version of Project64 I have lying around (v1.6b) it's only got a couple things you have to change in the settings (which the "GameFAQ" included with the emulator tells you) for the Turok games, it even worked fine with the default plugins out of the box. Though I find the N64 FPS controls to be godawful for these games. Of course it's hard to go back to anything after mouse and keyboard.
Turok is an underrated series, and it's fun to find a video that talks about the lore and the comics. Congrats and hope you can do another video like this.
Adon is Cortana before halo.
I played every one of these as a kid, loved all 4. You should do a video over the 360 reboot.
Turok is so nostalgic for me! I'm 38 and these and the golden eye and 007 games were the founding fathers of shooters
One of the big selling points of the original Turok game was the specific area/limb damage to enemies. So them asking you to shoot certain spots makes sense against the bosses. We take this thing for granted in todays games but back then this was a new feature.
Actually this feature didn't appear until Turok 2. In the first game, it didn't matter where you hit an enemy, all damage would be the same regardless of whether you shot them in the head or the foot. Even the bosses worked the same. The death animations afterward were random (for regular enemies anyway).
Even so, the original Turok was considered groundbreaking for its time due to the quality of its graphics and animations, the unique and fun weapon arsenal, and the unique setting.
Turok 2 upped the ante on the technical front in massive ways - though it was criticized for its difficulty, obtuse level design and monotonous mission objectives. Was still one of the most impressive games for its day, especially for a FPS on a console - and back in the day, rivaled even Goldeneye in terms of appreciation.
yeah but imo turok 2 is the best clearly
God, I love Turok 1. That game rocked my world when I was a kid. And my dad really enjoyed playing it while drunk one time.
The cheat code "Beware Oblivion is at hand" is forever burned into my memory from playing Turok 2 as a kid.
Same here.
Shit was crazy. Final boss was underwhelming
nthgthdgdcrtdtrk
Lol I remember this too.😅
Same here, we rented the game ALOT and it was in the rental case. I always wondered how they figured out about it im guessing Nintendo power or something
As someone who played 1, 2, and Rage Wars to death on the N64- I can confirm they controlled really well with the N64 controller at the time. Even just playing the single player Rage Wars vs bots was a great time for child me.
Ah, good memories.
*Takes a brief hit*
Turok 1, I cheated that game to death. Pretty colors mode, free flying, no clipping all weapons/ammo, you name it.
Of course, I meet the Campaigner who I totally wrapped too, have no idea what this place here, and this guy screams at me in a tiny high pitched voice, "Whaaha! The universe is mine!"
Hysterical really, it was more of a death animation/cutscenes when you died. It was so hilarious I gave myself lives just to see his tiny head face shriek at me as he attempts to club me in a wee little _"Huiigh!"_
Seeds of Evil ...Turok, that is.
Was that the one where you were also rescuing kids, and they'd say, _"Thank you Turok!"_
I seem to have less memories of this one, I fear. I particularly remember the eye ball boss. Besides the above I mentioned, I lack the memory capacity for it. But I do recall being disappointed in what I hopped would be a skirmish pve mode, but was actually a pvp.
Rage Wars ... --Turok-- Raptor, that is.
A joke son, it's a joke.
Well, okay, not really. I loved playing as that damned raptor. Loved it. Who needs a Cervical transplant gun or high powered plasma rifle when you can flail your flanges and toss talony fisty-cuffs at any passerby?
Got all three skins for 'em because I wanted special bois.
Also there was a character you could be in Rage Wars...Mite? Mites.
Well, they start off as a swarm of bugs. Their second skin are tiny dinos, they probably have a name.
But the third skin is just the cherry on top. They turn into a swarm of teddy bears.
Still...I always had a thing for those thrown booby traps.
Bruh my copy of rage wars was bugged. It was impossible to beat a chase the monkey lvl on split screen making the game unbeatable with friends 😢.
I always enjoyed watching the Raptor bots fight each other, some cases they ended up running in a circle trying to catch each other
My version was bugged that I couldn't unlock the Teddies skin
I played them back then too. After playing nightdives rerelease im sorry but no, the n64 controls are terrible.
What was your way of playing? I remember i had to switch the control layout to be able to move with the C buttons and aim with the controller. That was the best setting for me to play.
as a kid I always though that when he revived and went " I am Turok" was the coolest thing.
I just want to write here and tell you, I was in 4th grade when Turok 1 came out.
It was LATE. It was delayed SO MANY TIMES. I waited like 18 months longer than it was supposed to be, (and N64 was the first console my parents ever bought me, this, after intentionally not being allowed to have a console to that point. I had saved my money for this game, and had to keep saving it because the game kept getting delayed. It was an eternity. I eventually spent the money on Shadows of the Empire, and had to settle for renting my dream) and when it finally did come out, _and_ _it_ _showed_ _up_ _at_ _Blockbuster_ (which was another 3 months later), I *finally rent it,* get in the car on the way home and I say out loud, as I read the box on the way home "M for mature... _huh!_" and my parents simultaneously Eye-Of-Sauron to the back seat and _snatched_ _that_ _shit_ _out_ _my_ _hand_ and went back in and just dropped it in the return bin.
I've still not recovered.
This game was everything to 10 year old me.
Man, I remember the days of renting games for my GameCube and PS2. So crazy now how we have any game we want right in our libraries. Thanks for sharing your story. :D
Learned to have inside thoughts after that lmao
That's exactly what happened with childhood me and Halo: Combat Evolved. Wasn't allowed to play it until I was 16.
@@ClarkKentaibro halo? lol I got lucky with my mom. She didn’t care unless there was nudity. But god of war changed that 😂 she quit caring
@@mileshawkins6225 My mom was very much a non-violence hippie. I wasn't even allowed to have Nerf guns.
Fun fact, in evolution you can one shot the final boss with a falling tree :)
I think I remember hearing about that, but if I did, I sure as hell didn't remember when fighting the boss. 🤣
Lmao, i remember fighting tooth and nail with the him
And i only learned about that insta gib ny accident.
Aftee that, it was always "TO THE TREEEE"
I remember getting a 64 in 97 and turok was the second game I owned. The graphics for me was mind blowing! 97 was a badass year for gaming history!
Turok 2 feels so good to play. Awesome shotgun and blood. But man I've never beaten it because I always get to a point where I'm missing something somewhere
I have the Turok game manuals proudly displayed on my wall, love this series
All the turok games are masterpieces. Some very memorable weapons, music, enemies, and good graphics for the time.
My biggest complaint is the Big Confusing labyrinth level maps As well. I was also so confused and lost most of the time. Hoping a Remake comes out in the future. An open world Turok would be awesome 🙏😎
FWIW from someone who started gaming in the mid-90s, the lack of story in Turok 1 was just because it was the style at the time, at least for first person shooters. There usually was a paragraph or two in the manual you'd get with a physical boxed copy of the game where the overall setting and premise of the game is explained and after that you're just on your own.
This only really changed after Half-Life came out in '98 and showed people that storytelling is indeed a thing you can do in an FPS without taking control away from the player.
I'm actually really impressed with your production quality, description, intro and in-depth analysis of the nuances regarding your psychological experience through your playthroughs. That kind of thing isn't spoken about enough. It seems like some people don't really get how much of a toll it takes to undertake these... adventures. You're basically throwing your psyche into another universe, that requires hyper-vigilance... threading needles at 50 meters using a tiny joystick or mouse... Your emotions take on the characters to a certain extent.. there's a bit of psychological imprinting. If that isn't happening, the games usually aren't that fun. You'll get adrenaline rushes sometimes at least in PvP titles, which is your body actually having a full flight or flight response.. like it thinks it's going to die. Your whole body literally believes it's going to die, and your heart will pump, extremities will get cold, etc.
So I say all this just as pretext to my honest expression of gratitude for your contribution to the gaming community here. Us gamers don't get enough credit for the work we put in, and gaming in and of itself is actually proving to be incredibly important in the context of the sciences, and psychology.
It's not just all fun and games, and even so, this was extremely entertaining.
Great to see your viewcount reflecting the quality of your content just 4 weeks in.
Great job.

The guns in evolution were so cool. The rocket laucher had a nuke and another weapon that would slowly kill enemies
Turok franchise needs another reboot
I honestly hope (unlikely) that retro studios gets the franchise so it can be in good hands aka the OG hands
Actually the remaining people that worked on Turok 1+2 through 3 and Evolution are a tiny amount. Iguana became Retro Studios who made (the) Metroid Prime (Trilogy) and the 2 great modern Donkey Kong Country games. vast majority of devs for Turok 3 and Evolution in particular were Acclaim themself
@@lilyeet1980 no, Turok 1+2 were 100% developed by Iguana. Acclaim was publisher
T1 through Evolution were all the same 'team', technically. Although the team got rebranded by the time of T3, it was still the same group, they were just given a different name.
Granted, I'm sure there were some devs who came and left during that period, but overall, it was mostly the same talent.
But yeah, the original founders of Iguana would go to found Retro Studios, who would go on to be bought out by Nintendo and are famous for developing the Metroid Prime trilogy, which could in many ways be seen as a successor to both the 2D Metroid series as well as Turok.
Turok was such a good game. It was revolutionary for its time in my opinion. We need a remaster.
I didn't play Turok 1 when it was new, but I ended up with an N64 and a copy during the mid-00's after a garage sale run. The controls were surprisingly modern, though backward from modern twin-stick setups: the C buttons controlled running, backpedaling, and strafing, while the thumbstick was used to aim. The framerate of the first game was surprisingly stable, too, though that was down to a very low render-fog distance.
Turok would make a great movie or series. 😁
26:45 the chant that is also in borderlands is also in that one muliplayer Turok game as well.
So I'd say Turok had that chant first since it was originally on the N64.
I got a Nintendo 64 in 1999 for my birthday i was 3 lol & I remember in 2000 my parents got me Turok 2, only way i remember it was because it was an such an awesome game for me even though I only played the first stage because i didn't know how to progress lmao. I didn't even get tired of it either.
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil used to scare me to death as a kid. I remember trying to save some kids in cages and one yells "Turok help me!" and some dino dude ran me down.
what was scary was the flesh eaters portals
I grew up playing these games, and it's rad to see someone younger than me giving them a shot today. Keep making videos. You're very good at it.
Turok Dinosaur Hunter was one of the first games I got that really showed what a 3Dfx Voodoo 1 could do
the first Boss in D.H. is called Longhunter
the 2nd shotgun in Turok 2 is called Shredder, not "Scattergun". thats the name of the shottie in Timeshift (lol)
It appears I mixed them up very badly. 😅
@@TruePatriotGamingfix it
fix it
it fix
Dinosaur hunter was my first M rated game and I still have the 1st edition comic. Great vid you brought the nostalgia.
Was my first M rated game too, lol.
It's funny, my mom wouldn't let me play or watch anything with course language (and especially anything remotely sexual), but violence and gore was awwwright.
In fact, my mom used to play the game too!
Dang i didn't know it was m rated... I have no clue how i got it then because my mom would definitely not have bought it for me lol. I wasn't even allowed to watch good burger! LMFAO
Haha same very Christian household. My parents thought pokemon cards were the devil lol.
Dude my parents were exactly the same. Vulgar language or a boob no way Jose but Gladiator and Doom, no problem lol.
I LOVED the original Turok when i was a teen it came out and my dad bought it for me from media play in denver CO. I loved turok such a slept on franchise
Played them all as a kid when they first came out and was great for its time. I still got them all in a box
Turok 1 was only 8MB in size due to limits of the N64 cartridge at the time of its release. Turok 2 was put on a 12MB cartridge, which is why you get more game. Shadow of Oblivion used a 32MB cartridge, the developers had 4 times the space to add features to the game. I just started binging this game 2 days ago, and found your video. Glad to see a younger generation play this series!
Oh man I remember getting turok for the 64 as a kid. Thanks for the nostalgia blast.
26:44 those sounds (samples) are already made. They come in sample packs which are either bought by the company, studio or producer that will handle the soundtrack. Think of an album with soundbites and sound effects instead of songs ❤ love the video btw
As someone who played Turok 1 & 2 originally on the N64, I am so glad they added a hint system to seeds of evil.
Bro I love this game I really need to play it again.
I like the Turok remake, its like a blend of Halo, Gears of War and COD. It could have used more enemy varity but still cool
Great vid. Turok is one of my favorite series and it makes me happy to see people still enjoying it.
WOW MAN!!! thats great that you went so far into this as to play all of these. I used to love these games when i was a kid.
I played OG Turok when came out! The graphics blew my mind! 🤣
I remember Turok 2 coming out on the N64 and playing it over a friends house who had an expansion pack, damn that was a fun time. For the time and my age, the cerebral bore was brutal.
Good video and thanks for the nostalgia!
I miss the times when men of culture made games of culture. When it was some harmless physics to add some spice to a game.
Turok 2 was by far my favorite, played the crap out of that game back in the day
The first five Turok games were fun. Not perfect but really fun. Seeds of Evil is my favorite because I like the setting alot. Evolution was also really fun but it was really unfinished and had no real end.
I hope Rage Wars gets an Remake with online MP. It was fun back than. Or if they could finish Evolution.
Like most games of the time the original Turok story was in the manual. It had story, characters, and both weapon/area descriptions. If my memory serves me correctly the n64 manual actually had parts of the comic too.
Yup!
Playing turok with no hints/markers is the best way. !
Just played Turok 1 and 2 for the first time, and I can't believe I slept on these games when I was a kid.
In the first Turok there was also an enemy Triceratops with friggn’ missile launchers on it’s back.
The Games when they came out had a comic book that came with the game in addition to the manuals. There was a 4 part novel series as well that serves as a back round of the Storyline and history. The one thing I want to mention is that The Lair of the blind ones was a lot bigger but with the remaster some of the level was reworked so lair of the blind ones wasn't as confusing
Nope, the maps are pretty much the same. Long term Turok 2 player. There was a minor difference but the general route way is the same
The novels are hard to find but do give a better storyline aspect for the games. I have them all.
To answer your question about the "assets" In three. Yes they were vibrant in the original game.
Great video! The cat dancing during the Turok 2 OST demo was a nice touch. : ]
Thank you. It was also quite the coincidence that the cat matched with the beat too.
19:15 - They are called Flesh Eaters and not Demons btw, but you know this already.
Eh, same thing in my book. :)
@@lilyeet1980 dude you go ahead and make a video since you have such impeccable knowledge on the series. This guy put effort into making an entertaining and informative video and 14 of your comments on this channel are you just being a nitpicking douche
@@lilyeet1980Bro has decided to become a professional hater 💀
Me and my brother loved playing that game on N64. We were twelve and ten back then in the late 90's and the game actually was owned by my stepbrother who let us play it until we bought our own later on. The N64 controller can be quite tricky as you need to use the C buttons(the yellow arrow buttons) to move Turok while using the joystick to look around and some players didn't like that very much. While it's annoying, it can get easier once you get used to the controls. Heck, Turok was the one that got me into dinosaurs and ancient history of civilizations. :3
Man the Dinosaur Hunter remaster is so good looking. The original had a horrible fog to help performance, and being like 5 when i played, i never got far
Great vid but i love turok evolution so much and i can never go back and play it because it'll ruin it for me lol
One of my favorite glitches to abuse in the multiple was on one if the ruins maps, the one with opposing temples, theres a pool in the center and if you went into it as a raptor and held both triggers, you just fly up into the skybox, i remember calling it "the great oreo in the sky" because how the skybox would squish down
I honestly don't blame you. Before I played Evolution for this video I was blinded by rose tinted glasses with that game. I still don't hate it but I can't love as unconditionally as I did before.
The Sound Track of Turok 2 is a total banger
Turok 1 still my favorite. It doesn’t waste time throws you right into the action and just let you have fun.
nice but as content overall i d say turok 2 is best of all
Growing up turok evolution was one of the first games I owned on ps2. Me and my siblings use to love playing multiplayer. The story mode was hard but adventurous. I really wish acclaim finished the game, i think it wouldve been something amazing.
i vividly remember playing a weird dinosaur hunting game as a child on the original xbox and then switching to PVP split screen. I never remembered the game and thought it was a fever dream until stumbling upon this video and googling the different turok titles. (It was turok evolution)
Since you’re younger than thé original Turok game, the N64 controller was a little rough on the game. It was mind blowing at the time though. Tge frame rate was rough too. The remasters control so much better.
Good times playing Turok 1 on N64.
26:45 Yes this sound existed. Although I didn't play Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, it appears on Turok: Rage Wars, which is a multiplayer arena-like Turok game on N64. It actually comes with some other 'tribal' sounds too.
Great overall review. Will check out your other videos
Appreciate it man. My older videos might not be as good though. 😅
New turok game needs to come out
i only played 2008 Turok and loved it, space Indians against space dinozors were great idea. you should also add that game to the video
Honestly if 08 wasn't such a pain in the ass to get the pc version working I would've. And I sadly don't have a 360 so I can't use that. I hope one day we see it on pc where it isn't a bitch to setup.
@@TruePatriotGaming yea you are right about that
I can second this, multiplayer was forgettable but it had a pretty good cast with fun weapons. I say the only annoying part was the final Trex fight, and Ron Pearlman's character gets tedious to listen to when he's all "you traitor, hurr durr". Not perfect, but a earnest attempt to put a new spin on the IP.
It's just a shame Disney won't rerelease the game anytime soon since it understandably didn't sold well and the game is an anomaly for fans of the OG.
Edit: Got the actor name wrong for some reason. Really goes to show that getting little sleep can make your system do the raw blink on Hara Kiri rock.
*I NEED SCISSORS! 61!*
Awesome video, thank you for making it.
I’ll be 35 soon and Turok 2 will always have its place in my heart as one of my favorites! Played it as a young buck, how time does go fast!
I absolutely loved Rage Wars also.
Thank you for watching good sir. Glad the video brought you lots of nostalgia. :)
Im 32 and had Turok 2 and Rage wars on N64 as a kid too, top tier games!
Good content. Very nostalgic ❤
the dino hunter remake from 2015 is fricking spectacular, been loving it in the past week since spring sale gog started and i picked it up. haven't played many old fps but doom and st elite force but I know this is a gem.
I think that instead of Joshua dying,the demons should have just captured him,this would make more sense storywise especially when it come to the later part of the game,plus it would give the siblings another reason to fight the main threat since they would also have the goal of trying to save Joshua. (with the surprise twist at the end too.)
Fun fact: Turok 2's Aidon was my first video game crush ....... yeah I was a little dork back then
I think the booklet for Turok 2 on N64 had a short little comic showing how Events of the first game influenced the second, and how Joshua met Tal Set and became t he next Turok.
The Nuke was far from useless but like the cerebral bore it had a windup... only the cerebral bore had a wind up WHILE you were shooting and the nuke had it AFTER you shot it (basically it had to fully explode for its effect to take place)... With the primogen jumping and flying around a lot it certainly wasn't the easiest weapon to kill him with but it was doable
For sure. And you can even see in the clip that it does big damage to him when it hits his hit box. The clip of course doesn't show the full fight and I found it be somewhat inconsistent most of the time. Plus he does that stupid shit where he heals back some of health. I think the nuke weapon was more supposed to be something to supplement damage on him rather than completely kill him outright like the chronoscepter.
My favorite memories were watching my uncle play Turok, resident evil, and shadow man.
Turok 2 seed of evil still has one of the best soundtrack in games
I played this when i was around 9-10 years old. One of my favorites of all time for n64 as well as starfox, Diddy kong racing was great as well.
Funny story. If you try and beat the final boss of Turok 1 using the cheat to get all the weapons. Whenever you fire the Chronosceptor at the Campaigner it'll automatically switch you back to your knife and the Campaigner will laugh at you. I didnt find out you could actually use the Chronosceptor against the Campaigner until I got older and actually found all the pieces.
Turok Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2008 are legendary
So turok does have a story and in the N64 boxes they came with a manual and while explaining enemies and weapons there was a comic in them to giving back story to the games. Maybe it's nostalgia maybe it's bad memory but I own the remastered and theres missing areas and secrets that I remember playing as a kid also. Long story short, if you didn't read the manuals or go find the comics yeah there was absolutely no story in the game itself
Edit to add. You didn't know how hard campaigner was without the scepter. I can tell you. As a kid I spent so many reload saves because I couldn't find all the parts and he was an absolute bitch to fight. You had to be maxed with all backpacks of ammo and armor and make EVERY SINGLE shot hit. Otherwise you would run out of ammo with him a sliver away from death and just have to let him kill you or hope by some grace ammo would show up on the floor in the form of tech arrows.
Turok Evolution is one of my favorites, also I loved the flying sections. The flying sections were one of my favorites actually. Evolution is underrated imo.
"These games were released before I was born"
I would have been 11 in 97 when Turok DH released, I got to play it in the spring of 98 when I was 12.
Turok 2 released in late 1998, I got it for my 13th birthday in March 99.
By the time I discovered 3's existence I already had all 3 6th gen consoles and wasn't as into FPS I was before or after. Cared more about RPGs, survival/horror, whatever the hell genre Devil May Cry is, and open-world/GTA at the time. One of my brothers did rent the GCN version of Turok: Evolution, I had some fun with the cheats, but the game was too broken for me to play seriously.
I really can't comment on how the N64 originals played, I always played through them with cheats. By the time I'd played Turok 1 I had already adjusted to the N64 controller thanks to Mario 64, Kart 64, and Star Fox 64. By the time I got to 2 I had already made my way through Doom 64, OOT, Banjo Kazooie, Shadows of the Empire and GoldenEye. By Turok 2 using a N64 controller was second nature.
The OG PC ports are trash, so don't ever bother with those.
I had 2 on n64, good game but worst controls on the planet
My Turok ranking..
On N64;
Turok 1>2>3
Turok 2 and 3 run at like 5fps, ruining them.
Remastered;
Turok 2 > 1 > 3
Turok 2 takes the cake at 60fps, with 1 close behind it, and 3 a distant third.
Turok 1 = Jungle Quake
Turok 2 = Jungle Unreal
Turok 3 = Poor Man's Half-Life
there is a comic that comes with some of the copies of the original first turok game. the campaigner is an interdimensional conqueror who wants to invade our reality through the exploitation of the lost lands. which is where the game takes place in. The lost lands is a pocket dimension which connects through various random and sometimes permanent gateways into our reality. Tal set was pulled into the lost lands by the campaigner because he wanted to kill tal set to ensure his invasion is successful.
In the OG Turok 2, bosses weak points would flash white. The homing weapons were useless on them but they did she you where to attack.
I had evolution as a kid too and only played the first hour or so over and over bc I could never get past or I just never had time. I can’t remember but I do remember loving those animated cutscenes or whatever. sheesh. This game is as a big reason why I got onto dinosaurs too lmao
had a similar experience with evolution as a youngster, i remember renting it for the playstation 2 multiple times and not getting very far. but then my friend had it on gamecube, and we put many hours into playing splitscreen deathmatch, i think thats where evolution really shined.
That chanty yell you mentioned is also present in the title menu of Rage Wars, and is the exact same sample in that regard.
I remember me and my brother literally playing all these games on day one release lol makes me feel old asf
Turok evolution was one of my favorite games growing up and unlike the other Turok games, it is not easily playable without a GameCube, original Xbox, or Xbox 360. More importantly though, it was my entry into the series and I love it. Me and my brothers spent countless hours in multiplayer fighting eachother or unleashing the raptors on one of the maps. I think it is way too heavily scrutinized. I love this game so much I bought a 360 today just so I can play it. And those bugs are emulator specific. Xbox isn’t bug less but haven’t had any of the ones you listed.
Turok 1 has no game specific comic tie in as it is based on an existing comic of the same name; Valiant Comics Turok Dinosaur Hunter. This is why the Acclaim comics sometimes refer to Tal'set as "the Valiant one".
Watching the enemies fighting each other was fun, the older games one species would've had to hit another for them to fight (felt sorry for the smaller green mantids when they turned around and went after the bigger brown mantids)
In Evolution the enemies depending on what they were would attack other enemies on sight
This was a great video, and although Turok 2 is by far my favorite of the trilogy, I can respect and agree with your criticisms of it. Lair of the Blind Ones is especially a long haul pain in the ass. But anyways, great job regardless. One of, of not the best Turok retrospectives out there. Also good to see another man of culture 🫡
I remember playing the first Turok game for the 64 in my early teens. The soldiers running out of the fog to be slaughtered. And the first time you draw the bow and hit a dude in the neck…. Traumatically awesome.
As an oldschool Turok fan, your take about the level design in SoE is 100% true. Especially in Hive of the Mantids. The og game had way better level design.
as someone who played Turok 3 to death when I was little, choosing between Joseph and Danielle only really changes 1 cutscene at the start of chapter 2, showing who splits off while the other investigates the blood drawing of 'The Child'...and even then in the original N64 version, the cutscene was the same regardless of who you chose. as for the vocals in the main menu, those were there in the original version too.
As weird as this is I do remember how it felt playing Turok on the N64. You moved with the yellow C buttons and to aim around you had to hold down the Z or R button to aim with the stick which felt clunky. At the time it made sense but that's also thinking back to when I was a young kid. Seeing it on PC with WASD movement and aiming around with the mouse it looks a lot more fluid gameplay. Quake is a good comparison.
The Indian Yell/Chant actually came from Turok Rage Wars which came out BEFORE Turok 3 Shadow of Oblivion. Borderlands 2 might have actually Stolen it aka Plagiarized from Acclaim/Iguana, but those Companies went down or merged with Different Companies. But last I checked the Turok IP is "Owned", loosely, by Universal Studios.
Yeah I was looking for this comment lmao I'm like pls tell me someone knows about this and says something before I do 😂😂
@@wavykay3228well I did play Turok Rage Wars like way back in the days of the N64. But Turok 2 Seeds of Evil was my First ever Turok Game. Later on I got Turok Dinosaur Hunter. I regretted trading in Turok Rage Wars though because when I wanted to Play it I didn't have it. Lmao
But Turok Evolution was my 4th Turok Game before Turok 2008, then finally got Turok Rage Wars back and Turok 3 Shadow of Oblivion. Never owned a GameBoy though so I didn't play the GameBoy Versions.
But yeah, Turok Rage Wars was the First Time I heard the Native American Yell/Chant and it had a Killer Beat, before T3 SoO came in and the Music was kinda Meh and Mid.
"never having beaten the Campaigner without the Chronoscepter"
Hoo boy, you were in for a tough fight if you failed to get all the Chronoscepter pieces and went toe to toe with him. Even the second strongest weapons like the Fusion Cannon (the thing that takes forever to fire but launches a slow-moving fireball which nukes the entire room after a few seconds) is useless as if you tried to use it, he'd laugh at you and force you to put it away while turning on a magical barrier... So you'd be forced to slowly chip away at his health with everything else he isn't immune to while constantly dodging his fast and varied attacks.
Also, a fun fact about the Primagen, the final boss of the second game; Apparently according to I think the instruction book, he was unintentionally unsealed after Tal'set destroyed the Chronoscepter by tossing it in a volcano after it served its purpose in defeating the Campaigner... kinda crappy of him to leave that mistake to be cleaned up by his descendant Joshua.
Speaking of Joshua, I know his death was kinda meh in 3, but I'd probably chalk it up to him being ambushed at his own home and not really having his full arsenal he had since his Primagen mission.
As for that sound in 26:40, it's a pretty common sound clip of a native cry, I remember it being used in Pinball FX's Shaman table's BGM.
Ive only ever played Turok 1 on N64, i got it whrn it first came out, cos dinosaurs, ling story short, i lost EVERYTHING, so dobt have it now, but now watching scenes in this video, the nostalgia is strong, i can feel exactly how i felt inside back then.. so much i gotta go look for a full playthrough.. (i dont have a pc, im lucky i got a roof over my head)
The big ogre looking mobs are "Purr-Linn" for some reason that name has stuck with me over the years.
This brings back hella memory's i remember when this game came out my brothers and i over night grinding trying to 100% clear the game. crazy how times fly's
As a super big Turok fan I enjoyed this video. Also side note I have every single comic for Turok and even the ones with his cameo like Man-O-War and Sahdowman and others such as gold key the sovereigns. And the original Turok Son of Stone. Watch out for Honkers lol.
You forgot the one for the PS3 but I remember the games fondly and I want to play them again I used to play them as a child thanks for this it was a whole nostalgia bomb
The Sound that was in Borderlands, was the Intro in Turok Rage wars on N64
