So much this!I wish acclaim would come back. The old Turok games were fun.
.
Oh shit, looks good.
Now I want to try the 08 remake, but I hear the PS3 version is really fucked up
Forget it exists and hook up your N64 or PC and play the Iguana games instead. Trust me, you will not enjoy knowing you spend roughly eight hours of your life on this shit that people said was "pretty decent". It's not.
Nothing of value was lost with it not getting a sequel.
I love Bish and all, but the product is what it is.
It really wasn't. It was a great game with aiming issues.
The 08 version wasn't terrible. I did play it and beat it twice, but it was nothing compared to the N64 ones. For starters, the weapons were just plain ass boring. I liked the more tribal/nature feel the first ones had going against the military, not being part of it going against a different army. I also liked the environments more. Also, Alien weapon, Fusion Cannon, and Chronoscepter. I mean c'mon, those were awesome guns.
Nintendo should get the rights to this and have retro make a game worthy of the N64 ones.
Yes, I was. It was going in a great direction when canceled. Btw, those cover mockups weren't part of the package, somebody must have put those together later.
Still, from pain comes something cool. Keep your fingers crossed for me, wouldja
I really liked Turok 2008. Bow and knife executions were great and fun to use. People complained about the science fiction setting that was similar to Aliens, but I really liked it. Only thing that I disliked were bugs. But it was obvious that Turok should have had longer QA phase. Some level design bugs and problems with scripting were awful. Nevertheless I looked forward to see a sequel of it But Miki Mouse decided to kill this franchise along with Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned. Maybe someone will create a spiritual successor of this series. Right, Bish?
I can only imagine what this game could've been like with the proper developer at the helm. I have zero faith in Propagada Games, but this concept and art direction are so fucking badass. Somebody really needs to scoop this up and salvage what's left of this.
BTW i am 100% sure these dinosaurs will be waaaay cooler than what we'll get in Jurassic Park 4.
BTW, the hands are pronated. This is one of the biggest problems with paleo-art. The palms on therapods actually face inwards.

Disney needs to get this project back on track ASAP, then. There is a lot of potential here.Propaganda Games kept getting better and better. Just like Grin if they had time to mature as a studio i'm sure they would've knocked it out of the park with Turok 2 and Pirates of the Carribean: Armada of the Damned. Though Disney's strict release dates didn't help them.
As for the game being salvaged who knows. Bishoptl said whatever current code that was complied for the game is definitely still at Disney though the rights to Turok went back to the holder. Best case scenario would be this Turok Universe being continued by another dev. Though i'm unsure how that would go.
I wonder why Capcom won't outsource Dino Crisis to Turok's devs considering they outsourced almost everything.

Damn, well that blows. Hopefully another developer will take a crack at the Turok franchise. There have been a lot of successful reboots recently, and Turok could be another one (even though the 2008 game was essentially a reboot).Disney's game section is basically dead at this point. They're mainly into mobile development and licensing their properties to developers.
Dinosaurs need to become the new Zombies to be honest. We need more games/media featuring our extinct predecessors.I know dinoGAF'd support it.

Oh man, that thread is exactly what I needed! Lol I just ordered Jurrasic Park 3D Blu-Ray a couple of days ago too.Dinosaurs do seem to be making a comeback.
Especially with Jurassic World on the horizon I think the time is drawing near.

I really hope so.
Good bye zombies, bows (sorta, I mean, bows are kinda cool), and other stupid fads. Say hello to dinosaurs.
If Turok somehow revives in this new dino era, bows'll stick around.
I hope bows stick around.
Imagine a Last Of Us meets Dinosaurs survival/adventure game..
It just sucks knowing that even if Turok gets revived this iteration is dead. =(

I like you Jawmuncher. You're alright. Mind if I add you on XBL/PSN/Steam? You getting an Xbox One/PS4??
For those about Turok...
I want more Dinosaur games this next generation.
Dose box arts. This looks really cool. I hope it gets revived.

sadly with Disney this is like hoping Pixar getting good again, you just know it'll not happen.
only chance for us now is if Disney sell IP to someone else.
They could still take a bunch of ideas from it. Plus, somebody could make it in Cryengine like another guy said. That would be pretty sick, I say.
Turok 08 was fun as hell at times. There were a lot of things that held it back, an instant kill knife that went into a small cutscene-style thing when you pulled the trigger next to another player in multiplayer almost single handedly ruined what was otherwise fucking fantastic. Co-op mode had matchmaking support, and was a fun Left 4 Dead-ish romp through dinosaur and soldier infested jungles, so that fared better. Single player was hit or miss, some missions were a blast, others, well, others just sucked. It was a game very much hurt and helped by it's design choices in equal measure.
Super bummed about Turok 2, seeing this just makes it hurt again. :c
Seriously, if you all ever want to have a fun co-op experience, consider picking up Turok 08, and doing a private game with your friends. It's dumb, not super deep, but it'll make you smile.
