Look at this map for just one of the levels. This is what I've missed!
By the way people, that's one level.
Oh God you're right, and Turok 2 is especially labyrinthine. Some of those levels take hours.

There are a fair few games that I'd like them to remaster. One of them being Fur Fighters.

The level design in this game alone makes it worth playing for those asking why.
Also, the feedback/enemy damage in this game was fucking great.

Nightdive already brought Shadow Man back. Rereleased for Steam & GOG. You can kinda remaster it yourself with texture mods out there.
To answer the question Nightdive has access a select few Acclaim titles with the next remastering project being Forsaken. The lion share of Accliam games are owned by an outfit called Throwback Games whom have actually started putting old Acclaim games like Gladitor: Sword of Vengence and Trickstyle onto Steam and they are currently remaking a "beloved" N64 Acclaim title.

Forsaken you say? Omg, how does one stay ontop of news like this? I adore the Acclaim library.... can't wait for this and Forsaken.
In my case, I know both Nightdive and Throwback and they told me these things.

Are they planning to do more Turok games after this?
The word has been maybe depending on how well the first two games sell. There is the added issue that Rage Wars and 3 never had PC versions.
Wait. I knew they did turok one. I heard they might do turok 2 (now Jumping for joy)
...and now you tell me they're doing Forsaken!?
I could cry.
I was trying a few months ago to play both of those on the pc and couldn't get them to work

One of my favorite things about Turok 2 was starting a multiplayer game with my brother and then doing a level select cheat. You could then basically play any single player map co-op style which was very fun. If this somehow managed to keep that in with the online multiplayer it would be an instant buy for me, but I really doubt that they did any netcode for the AI 
YES
Loved their work on Turok 1 but Turok 2 was my absolute shit on N64.
Was still pretty good, just came late like others said. I remember being blown away by the cutscenes back in the day, never thought I'd see face animation in an N64 game.

You guys may be interested to know that they confirmed they're using the N64 soundtrack:
On the other hand, it sounds like they went with the PC version of "The Death Marshes" for this trailer:

They're already offering shadowman. It's cheap and comes with a bunch of bonus stuff.

Yes, day one!
Shadowman is already available on GOG and Steam, and the PC version is luckily the best version of the game:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/251770/
In my memory the PC music is better (Redbook CD audio instead of lof kHz samples), but they are pretty similar, so it's no big deal.

That is correct but there is even more, Forsaken could see new content produced for it as Nightdive actually owns the game and the trademark and everything like System Shock.
Also, Nightdive is also working on this game as well from Acclaim.

Yo I cannot wait for this. Turok 2 was so much fun even with the awful frame rate.

Yes, and it is even online.
For those asking who played Turok 1 but not 2, Turok 2 is much more Half-Life-esque in terms of structure and level design.
There's still a hub area where you go back and forth through six worlds, but those worlds are a tad bit more linear and have some semi-theatrical set pieces in them. It's almost like a half step between Turok 1 and the post-Half-Life, pre-COD era of shooters.

I had no idea they were doing this game too
Nightdive have done some good, good stuff so far

Faster gameplay, better designed gameplay, and just overall better concept than the dudebro shooters of today.
I mean, you get to play as an aztec warrior fucking up dinosaurs with all kinds of crazy weapons. What's not to like?
I am also Spartacus!
Loved this game as a kid, and it got me in a great amount of trouble as it happened to be during a violent period of mine. But still. I'm glad they took the same approach to it as with the first game. Remastering it 'almost' as close to the original as possible.
Furthermore, I am of the opinion that Unreal (98) should get a proper remake.

I played Turok 1 for the first time last month and fucking adored it. Gunplay is a lot of fun, movement feels shockingly good for an FPS to the point that most of the platforming is enjoyable, lots of secrets to find, it holds up shockingly well.
And even if it didn't, it's important to preserve the history of the medium. That's why I love Night Dive Studios, because they are dedicated to making sure the weirder, lesser known games of yesteryear are still available and playable.

I have a reckoning with this game. Always wanted to finish it, but never could as a kid. Now it is time.

So happy that there's a company like Nightdive thats willing to give these old games a chance. I pick up anything that looks even remotely interesting to me that they release to show support for what they do.

I really really hope this leads to 3. I liked Rage Wars also but 3 was a poor running late gen game-it'd be nice to play it all the way through.
Also hoping this means power slave and the others will be available before too long
