This I believe is the first footage seen of Nightdive Studio's remastering of Turok 2 and no before you ask no date or price announced here sadly.

 

[Rymuth]

Looking sick!

 

[moltonasty]

Cerebral bore in HD and good performance, I'M SOLD

 

[Digital Snake]

Remember when these were announced for Xbox One like a year ago? I wonder what happened to em.

Looks pretty neat though.

This is your answer, Nightdive has been focused on getting Turok 2 for the PC done first.

It's out March 16th, 2017. http://store.steampowered.com/app/405830/

 

[Arttemis]

Yeesh. I was hoping for a modern engine with graphics that at least appeared like they came from this century. It looks like someone playing in a N64 emulator with higher resolution.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Turok 2 is one of my favorite FPS of all time, what i would not give for a real fully upgraded version

 

[Social]

I was expecting the picture to change to this awesome crisp new HD version, but it didn't.

But I guess it's ok, it's not a remake afterall.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Nightdive did good improvements on this.

Online MP
Splitscreen MP
New enhancements to better the gameplay

I wonder why they didn't just put that in the trailer?

 

[BD1]

The nostalgia!

Turok 2, Rogue Squadron and Zelda 64. Oh boy what a Christmas for a kid in 1998!

a framerate in the double digits goes a long way

 

[Beegeous]

Still doesn't look as good as hi-rez mode back in the day.

 

[Mawile]

Oh my ARCEUS! I've been waiting for this remaster after the GLORIOUS remaster on PC of the first game. Fuck yeah! Day one.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

According to the legalese at the end of the trailer, Penguin Random House owns the rights to Turok. I always wondered who owned the rights now, and since it's a book company, many they'll re-release the comics at some point.

Yup!

Loved Turok

 

[PantsuJo]

Oh boy, day fucking one

It's not done yet.

Pretty much. I tried re-playing it on N64 a few months back and the framerate is ROUGH.

Good performance + I can play this with my xbone controller = definitive version

 

[Mawile]

Somehow I doubt this but I don't have a comparison on hand.

 

[Kiru]

Port of Adia was my shit.

 

[Shard]

I am sure somebody will make the obligatory comparison video at some point.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I had the Game Boy Color version of this as a kid and could never get past the first stage.

 

[Nzyme32]

Awesome. Hope they are going the full distance again and throwing in workshop support and level editor for some extra fun!

 

[Mohonky]

Who actually asked for this? The art doesnt stand up, the game design will definitely not stand up.

I feel like this has been a generation where publishers are just remastering shit because they arent botheres to invest in new IP's.

I can understand going back and remastering some ofnthw bigger titles of the PS2 / Xbox / GC gen, but this early 3D stuff just looks terrible and it was when developers were struggling to make games in a 3D space and they were all kinda of clunky.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Sweet. Had a lot of fun with the remaster of the first game.

[Walker_Boh]

Nightdive is doing God's work. Too bad they couldn't get No One Lives Forever.

Port of Adia was my shit.

River of Souls is mine.

It was more a rose tinted glasses type comment than a literal one.

 

[Erin S Kittens]

I hope they do Turok: Rage Wars next. That game was fun and ambitious and (slightly) ahead of its time, but it's borderline unplayable today.

 

[Fury451]

Night Dive Studios has such a sweet logo.

Also, this looks so fun to actually play with a good framerate!

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Damn man, I miss this franchise. Put so much time into Turok 1, 2 and Rage Wars.

There is a surprising amount of demand for the N64 Turok games or so I have been told.

 

[iavi]

This game was so fucking hard as a kid. I never got anywhere in it

In to try again

 

[OldMan]

GIMMIE THAT

 

[thecouncil]

This game made me physically ill. I always used to have to play in short sessions.

I think it was the movement... or the field of view? I don't know.
I beat it but boy was it sickening.

That's what that trailer reminded me of.

Same. Loved the multiplayer.

[Hamster Plugin]

What's the point of this? It doesn't look any different from the original and the original plays just fine on modern systems. Could have just released that on Steam.

 

[Salty Hippo]

Man, every N64 game should be remastered. Every single one. Even Superman 64.

 

[loudbill]

This is cool...but, Turok Rage Wars 2 when??

 

[Lebon14]

I don't even need to look, I'm already sold.

 

[Seik]

AT

ALL

COST

Spoiler

DISTRESS BEACON.................ACTIVATED

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Gotta disagree with most - this looks terrible. I remember getting this game for Christmas and the extra RAM pack for the N64. The game ran and looked pretty terrible even then; this looks like a sick reminder of 90s-era N64 gaming.

Why would you want to play this over any modern first-person shooter?

 

[Granjinha]

night dive is a great studio.

 

[Walker_Boh]

Did Turok 3 ever come to PC? I always wanted to play it but my local video store never had a copy.

 

[Markitron]

The nostalgia!

Turok 2, Rogue Squadron and Zelda 64. Oh boy what a Christmas for a kid in 1998!

And F-Zero X too, N64 was where it was at back then. Metal Gear Solid and Half-Life can go suck a bag of dicks.

To be honest I've been enjoying early shooters from that era more than most of today's FPSs. I find they allow for more freedom and don't get in between you and the action as much.

I'm probably not going to play Turok 2 at full resolution anyway. What's more important to me is just having the game available again, especially on PC where I know I won't have to re-buy it for some future piece of hardware. That's the whole point of GOG, they'e just putting this game on Steam too.
