Turok

Turok is back and no dinosaur is safe When it was first released in 1997, Turok introduced gamers to a world teeming with cunning enemies, traps, puzzles and deadly weapons all within a vast 3D environment ready to explore. Now the classic game has been restored and enhanced with a new visual...

I remember turok, it did the cool gun thing before Doom go see “Rage Wars”.

No need to use Lossless Scaling for 120fps anymore.

I just played an hour and a bit of it. It's great, but it already was great. Switching ammo type like in Turok 2 is a simple yet amazing change.

Hope you enjoy the new update. These are only some of the new features and changes. There are many more such as level and model changes but the video would be too long to get into all the details.

I love the Turok games. Praise Nightdive

I tried it on XSS. Binding multiple weapons to unused buttons is pretty good. Turok 1 runs 120hz on XSS now, which is noticable when going to Turok 2 which feels more sluggish in comparison.

These games run circles around modern FPS. I play a lot of Turok 2.

New trophy list, still no platinum

Nightdive doesn't seem to care very much about trophies. I recently finished The Thing Remastered and most of them were crap. There were also large parts of the game without any actions related to earning trophies.

I can't quite explain it but playing this port just feels wrong compared to the N64 original. Like the soul has been sucked from the game. It's too clean. I did a test run where I ran through the tutorial on the latest update, then loaded up my N64 emulator with Parallel-RDP to simulate the native console graphics as accurately as possible and compared. The original is still better. If I wasn't a busy dad I would probably sit down and compile all the little things this port does wrong to prove it, like a Crowbcat video would, but I just don't have the time. If you care about the aesthetics and immersion of the original, then this port isn't for you. If you just want to say you played it and you need high frames per second to do that, then go ahead and stick to this. Personally I don't see me playing this again over the original.

So you play it with N64 controls for that authentic experience right

I played this on PC when I was a kid. This felt about how I remembered it.
