Watching Queen of Hunting's footage, the game plays so much quicker than I thought. It's really more like an arena shooter.
Turok 2 multiplayer will be awesome.
Also, it's happening
EDIT: 300 MB? What is this, 1997?
Feels just like bluray release week

Don't do this to me. That game was awesome.
Rage Wars is set to be ported of Turok 1 and 2 sell well and it seems to be off to a good start.

Can't wait to get T2 without slowdown. That game was too big for its own good on the N64. Just like Banjo Tooie
I think they would have sold allot more copies if they had it at $15 retail with a 10% launch discount. Only slightly less but the mind set would be of a $15 game instead of $20, which is a world of difference when it comes to "smaller" games like indy types or remasters of old games.
Can't get 144 FPS, the borderless setting might be my issue. (crashes if I have windowed set to 0, borderless set to 0)
I kind of get a little dizzy too.
I have weapon bob set to off, but the way the character moves and rotates causes me some issues.
- seta cl_maxfps "60" - I keep sitting this to different values, but it continues to reset to 60 upon game launch
- seta v_windowed "0"
- seta v_borderless "1"
- seta v_refresh "144"
I kind of get a little dizzy too.

I have to play with my Xbone controller because with the mouse it was making me too dizzy. I hope a way to turn off the leaning when strafing is patched in. Well at least with the controller it feels more N64 ish!

I can't imagine Kaiser to be the kind of guy who'd stringently oppose allowing no-strafe-tilt mods or similar, given this is a guy from the Doom community we're talking about; said community is all about modding practically every facet of games.
No, because the AI was adapted as well. They see you from further away now, too, and start pelting you with everything they got. It's almost a different game (an even better one IMHO), since you have to deal with close, far and very far threats now.
I am tempted to try it, but on the other hand, it is 15 down the drain if I would end in dizzy hell

Looks really fucking cool.
Never actually played a Turok game. I think.
My sentiments exactly.
The official answer seems to be maybe.
Any mention of Turok 3 coming/being ported over ? Loved that on N64, wouldn't mind having all of them on PC.
Yes, it has been mentioned along side Rage Wars but Rage Wars would be first from the information that has flowed.

They better have a loyalty discount once the other turok games come out.

Some people are having luck playing at 120 fps +?
I couldn't get it working, but the functionality is there.

I wanna try this with 144fps G-Sync. I hope the steam sale won't disappoint.
Fucking bought. Now give me Turok 2 ASAP Night Dive, ya hear me? Daddy needs to Cerebral Bore him some dinos
That sucks, I have zero interest in Rage Wars, but I'd very much like to play Shadow of Oblivion. I guess Exhumed/Powerslave is coming soonish too now that Turok is out of the way?

Are you drunk?
Watching it I thought "Wow the N64 looked good!"
So this is kinda like when guys use emulators on PC and get HD textures from the current texture maps right?

This is quite different than that. This is a reverse engineered version of teh game to run on modern hardware and use modern shading effects on top of running way better.

great to know T2 is coming, but I've always been curious about the ambitious and late-N64 life cycle Turok 3. I guess that's not coming, but I remember it being pretty impressive for the time. Just one of those games I never got to and now I feel a weird itch about wondering what I missed, considering how much I enjoyed the other games on the 64.

Played it on N64, but the definitive experience was on PC, even back then. Got a copy with a video card. I loved it.
Rights issues.

I dont understand how this can come out at all.. a small company bought the rights for the original code, and the Turok license? I guess off THQ? And if this is on pc with no trouble, it absolutely needs to come to console. Turok 2 @60fps with tidied up graphics would be awesome. Hell, even 30fps would be fine compared to the original.

Jesus, this game is fast. I mean, I replayed it about a year ago (the original PC port), so you'd think I wouldn't be that surprised, but the pace is absolutely relentless. Crazy to think it debuted on a console way back when, when twitch shooters like this were primarily the domain of the PC - it's speed could give Quake a run for its money. I think it's combination of the fact that enemies respawn every few seconds (meaning you can never really stop moving for too long), plus the increased view/attack distance this version has over the original.
So having played this a lot more and I'm finding enemy attacks are a bit laggy. They have an uncanny ability to hit you when seemingly out of range, while some enemies are able to connect with fire when facing the other way.
Glad to see the update sort the floating pillars, but the levitating rocks in level 2 also stand out. It would also be nice to actually unlock the framerate. While setting values at 144 in config fixed my tearing, like many others I am resolutely locked at 62fps.

I am talking about Powerslave, Night Dive is having clearance issues with the rights to that one, Turok is all free and clear.
Oh. I hope the masters of unfuckery can tangle it out of whatever web it's stuck in. All the more reason to buy the Turok games to support their venture then.
