Turok 2 Remastered - PC - Hardcore speedrun in

Follow me on twitch at / behemoth87
For this speedrun I used patch 1.4 which makes certain speed tech from earlier patches not possible. There is a later patch (1.5) that allows you to skip cutscenes so this particular run is suboptimal in terms of the time but it was a strong run for 2017.
[note] My game suffered a bad pause in the Hive at 32:29. I don't know what caused it but i've had similar things happen before with this game. I was prepared to stop recording if it didn't manage to recover. Later on at around 36:45 the video suffers a similar pause but this was only evident during playback because I was still playing that part during the run.

That soul gate shredder trick is brilliant

[@1guypvp644]

I like that they remastered all the visuals and raised the framerate to a consistent 60 fps, and they managed to make a version of turok 2 that 1999 computers wouldnt dream of running, and on top of that, all the sound effects are the same and the enemies still look very similar to how they did in the original. I really like that they did that. Also it seems that there is no longer any fog like in the n64 version which is the only way I ever had a chance to play this game. I'm happy with this remaster.

[@1guypvp644]

Btw great job on port of adia, I remember that taking me like an hour and a half and you did it in less than 20

[@dirtydingoringo3121]

@Jyde K te render distance was limited cause of the n64 at the time everything far was foggy. Now they extended the distance so you can see a lot farther.

There's a reason most people give up after the Death Marshes - Lair of the Blind Ones and Hive of the Mantids are just bad design - everywhere looks more or less identical. Navigating around them was an experience in tedium.

This game was very often delayed, i waited over almost two years for Turok 2. Man, i was so hyped and when it was finally out it feels almost like playing the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-Game from GSC. I was surprised that Turok 2 is not more only collecting Keys, this time we got Quests to solve in the Levels and i was frustrated in my first playthrough in 1998.

[@louis-philippenault8741]

I've recently completed hardcore and seeing a speedrun of this on hardcore was so satisfying good job brother , you probably know this by now since you uploaded this vid 4 years ago but the switch in the village in level 1 the one you have to go inside the building before the bridge i think , might be wrong but you went inside to activate it , it can be activated OUTSIDE through the wall, i don,t know it might be faster to go inside , it is the switch that gives you the ladder, to go up, i just wanted to tell you might help you out if you are still speedrunning this, also maybe not on hardcore but a well placed explosive shredder shell one shots the primagen's antenna , so again GG bro that was sick.

Other than a few times where corners could be cut a teendy bit better, a skip in the port of adia to bypass a lever, and a few points of getting stuck on enemies this is overall a great speedrun, especialy looking at the GDQ Speedrun of 1:14:whatver on Easy vs this of 1:15 whatever on Hardcore, still a really great run, nice work!

the only thing that mad me not like turok 2 as much as i could, is the fact that there is no indicator on where you are supposed to go ! also there is a little bit of back tracking!! that took some of the fun away.. but after a x ammount of hours, i finally beat it :P i must add that it was on n64 XD

[@critical6798]

Yea that was the point XD Man today games are so straight forward, holding your hands where only gameplay and action is of importance. The level design and difficulty is mind blowing for it's time. You mist have missed the point of the levels themselves being the puzzle you have to solve, not some room with pieces and that's all, like skyrim.

[@LyraniaLothar]

I've heard that the levels in the remaster were slightly modified to be less confusing, personally i can't tell the difference BUT and this is a big but, i don't get as lost as I once did as a kid. Or maybe i was just a kid who could not play the game. What do you think Behemoth, is the game's layout more friendly to a modern audience?

[@Giganotabehemoth87]

Yes most levels had slight alterations to level design, to make parts less confusing. Most notably in the Lair of the Blind ones a part was added to make a section near the end not so complicated. I think the improved movement like just how fast you run, and framerate etc can also contribute to make it an easier experience and being able to navigate/remember where you're going.

[@iljay7669]

do you have the option to manually set your field of view? i remember in the original pc version from '98 you could press '^' and enter set fov=90 in order to make the game look better

[@ignissz]

Is it normal that you notice such a difference between hard and hardcore mode? Now I normally go with 8 or 9 lives, the enemies take little from me and I get the feeling that I killed them before. I'm trying to see that I have not made a mistake choosing the difficulty ... But in this game you cannot see what difficulty you have chosen.

[@zemoyerz]

For me, the difficulty lies within certain level layouts themselves and not the difficulty of the enemies. Even playing on normal, i find myself strafe-sprinting past reset enemies I've already fought simply because I'm warping in and out of certain sections trying to find a key or switch that I've missed. 9 year old me would have never been able to complete some of the bullshit in this game on a n64 controller, and even 30 year old me gets frustrated at trying to find the one objective I missed even with the added map. Enemies though? Piece of cake with mouse and keyboard.
