Played Turok early on during my childhood, the franchise was one of the best first person shooters in the 90s, I don't care about goldeneye or doom. It was Turok that changed the genre.

Turok 3 has boss battles that are hard to stop, I have to give them credit on the difficulty. With Turok 3 they accomplished good level design, provided enemy variety, and new characters like Danielle into it.

Brain drilling gun.

Turok 3 is capable of holding its own and yet its sitting on peoples shelves, I was really impressed with the gunplay.

Turok 3 Remastered Sees Unintended Early Release on Nintendo Switch That Contains Several Major Bugs​

Now Turok 3 is being given some respect and being remastered this will give people an opportunity to play the game unlike paying 30+ for a cart.

Proper score.



All I'm saying is this game shouldn't be ignored, for those who have played it what do you think?

I liked it when I rented it. Seemed more of a half-life direction which was cool. The FPS was distractingly bad. I'm looking forward to playing the remaster.

That gif looks like its from Turok 2. Turok 3 was easily the weakest of the 3.

 

[Exede]

Turok 2 > Turok > Turok 3 > Rage Wars

 

[Apocryphon]

Gif is Turok 2. Cerebral Bore is in both but looks different in 3.

Turok 2 was top tier, Turok was great, Turok 3 was dreadful. Rage Wars was fun for what it was, mostly because of the weapons.

Didn’t these games get remastered recently for current gen consoles? I’ve been thinking about playing through them. I haven’t played Turok 2 since I was a little kid.

Yes, the 3rd game was just remastered. The first two have been available in remastered form for some time. Available on basically everything. Turok 2 holds up. Fantastic game.

People saying Turok 3 is out but I couldn't find it in Switch e shop ...

Miscommunication withe Europe and Oceania branches caused the game to release early with bugs. Delay was meant to fix and apply bug patches. Article implies that the NoE and NoO staff are on vacation or something.

Worst of the series but I'm gonna buy it regardless. I am Turok!

It's not the worst. The worst is Turok the Reboot.

Almost forgot. Never played Evolution tho.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I remember feeling Turok 3 was good, but I’ll have to experience it again.

People rank the original too highly. It was the amazing graphics for the time. The game itself is pretty dull.

 

[subsmoke]

I've started and stopped it several times, most recently in 2018 but never finished it. I didn't exactly lose interest but got distracted by other things. When the remaster comes out on the 30th I'll finally beat it once and for all.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I remember renting Turok 2 with a buddy and playing that over the weekend. I still enjoyed Goldeney/Perfect Dark more but I thought Turok 2 was awesome as well. I never played the 3rd, but remember checking out whatever the first Turok game for PS2 was released and thought that was pretty cool too.

I really wish we'd have a more modern take on the franchise as with todays tech, the possibility in both single-player and mp could make for some unique flavor in the AAA space.

During COVID I played and beat for the first time (in original n64 hardware) Turok, Turok 2 and Turok 3.

I loved, really loved the first two games (specially turok 2).

I hated Turok 3. Such a letdown, it became a generic fps, gone was the exploration, I'll never play it again.

Must've been quite a shock how those games run on original hardware.

Yes.

I couldn't play Turok 2 with the expansion pack, the framerate was so bad that it made literally dizzy, I had to stop playing, so "low rez" for me. Turok 1 wasn't so bad, it ran fine but with lots of "pop up"

Nevertheless I had a blast playing and beating them, I love retro gaming and I love the n64, just now I'm getting all the medals in rogue squadron for the first time (also N64 version), lots of fun.

You play on a CRT?

 

[Ulysses 31]

HDMI modded N64 on modern QLED, baby!

 

[Serge85]

You play on a CRT?

Yes, RGB modded N64.

I also can play on a modern tv (in my case, oled CX) using a retrotink 5x (upscaler) which is great, but I beat turok 1 and 2 on a CRT.

You good then, 64 games fps are less noticeable on CRTs to me.

 

[subsmoke]

This was a pretty short game, under 5 hours for me. Not bad but it doesn't hold a candle to the first two games.
