I remember getting a N64 console as a teen and playing the Turok game for the first time and being amazed by the graphics and sounds as I played the game. This was the first time I ever saw amazing water and solar glare effects in a game, plus the fish in the water looked so real. Later I obtained Turok 2 and again I was blown away by the very smart A.I. of the enemies and the graphics/sound was definitely taken to the next level along with the environments, weapons and story.

[@evangel1460]

This was the first game I got on my PS3 when my sister bought for me when I got it back in 2008. I know it's not amazing but it's actually really cool and had some awesome concepts and animations (I always loved watching the dudes get eaten by the Raptors when you put the flare/thing on them). I wish they continued this game because I would DIE to see something like this done well on modern systems.

[@MerlautJones]

I played Turok: Evolution, but I liked this one too.

[@able.3566]

I can agree the game has it's ups but (and I'm speaking from the experience of playing the other games.) This one is mostly for visuals and completely steps away from the lore of the original games. In my opinion it's the lowest out of the turok series.

[@Gruntvc]

I grew up with the N64 Turoks, they have not aged well. Except for a few cool weapons and great death animations, you're better off playing Perfect Dark. Turok Evolution tried to be more like Half Life, wasn't a bad game but pretty buggy. Turok 2008 was Aliens with dinosaurs. Wasn't the best FPS, but it was a fun game. It sold well enough to get a sequel, but sadly Disney shut down all their game divisions except for the devs behind Disney Infinity.

[@able.3566]

Yeah perfect dark did have a much better atmosphere compared to this game. Though through the time of it's evolution it is and will still be nice to see it made it this far to say the least despite the waterfall it fell down.

If it didn't have good voice acting, stealth mechanic (with glory kills), and dinosaurs. I'd probably hate it. That being said I am sad it's kinda kept Turok in the dark for so long and no ones picked up the franchise to make another.

[@guitarboyjeff]

Chris Nelson No, because with COD you aim down your sights!! This game relies heavily on the past and could not come into the future. And yes the awful controls on console just the same as PC in different ways but still awful. I have Turok 2 and for the time it was better than this for its time!!

[@ptrap]

Chris Nelson the only thing good in this game honestly was the voice acting, the stealth was actually quite bad IMO.

[@Larry]

Played the Xbox 360 version at launch, and for some reason the console ports have no aim assist in them. I know that's a laughable comment for PC players, but it rendered the game a massive pain in the arse to play on a joypad.

Your personality, consistency and attention to detail is all really top-knotch. More importantly, you seem to be one of the only major game reviewers who remembers that there were actually games released in years 2006-2012. This was when I was in college and actually had time and money to play a lot of the middleware (a category that's all but disappeared now), so it's really nice to see reviews for the lesser-known titles of an increasingly distant era. Thanks!

[@felman87]

If there's one thing I hated about the early HD era is how gray everything is. Even something like Turok, that takes place in a jungle, environments just have this Gears of War gray to it. It's so boring. I used to think it was just the Unreal engine, that's what it was good at so that's what developers created but then something like Guilty Gear Xrd comes along and proves that Unreal can do some super awesome stuff graphically. I grabbed it on the PS4 and was amazed but even the PS3 version of that game is beautiful. I guess color is for pussies or something because these dude-bro games never seem to use it aside from ketchup crimson for the blood effects.

[@ZinhoMegaman]

@Dragoon-BB I have Turok Evolution and finished all of then. Evolution is the harder one, enemies could headshot instant kill you and they use this. Maps are large and sometimes confusing, there is not any collectibles this time, the only reason to explore is new weapons or some weapon upgrades. And there is the fly segments, which is the worst part of Evolution. How It compare to the 3 before? Is the weaker of the original series, but never a bad game, it still is Turok in all of it's essence, still have awesome weapons, the gore is superb (they shot at meat for the sound, it's amazing!) and is atmospheric coeherent with the previous installments. And for the record i have It on both PC and OG Xbox, the 2 best versions. If you wanna try It, Xbox version is the complete visuals version, even the PC version dropped some effects that are exclusive to Xbox, which is a shame, but on PC you can use any resolution (even 4k), it support widescreen (vertical -, sadly) and doesn't have framerate cap, you must turn v-sync on via driver. It support anisotropic filter but AA must be via driver too. So it's a matter of preference. It also support KB and mouse properly and gamepad.

[@Gruntvc]

I prefer Evolution and this reboot. The N64 Turoks aged terribly. Level design and AI suck. Story is nonexistent. The only positives are a few stand out weapons and the death animations. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are by far better, especially Perfect Dark. The 90s Turok comics were great though, actual story and characters. Kept the more mature rating too. Doesn't seem the remasters revived the franchise. There was even a new Turok comic in 2017. Must've not sold well though as it only lasted a few issues.

Great review! Once again, you pretty much nailed how I felt playing this game back in the day. I never played the first or second games until the remasters came out on GOG. I bought them both, played and enjoyed the first (which was surprisingly awesome), but never even installed Seeds Of Evil for some reason. I think now would be a good time for me to rectify that. Happy New Year!

Yes.

Another great review, I love it when you review games from this era that were on the PS3/Xbox 360

[@Brainhorn]

I made it to the final Trex boss and died repeatedly. Never was able to beat it.

[@ishamura3547]

I actually loved this game as a kid and replayed it recently and still enjoyed it. I think it is better without relating it back to the other games in the series. The knife being the best weapon in the game is something that the devs were going for - and actually pulled off which is hard to do in an FPS. In pvp you would hardly see other people walking around shooting, and if you did they would get their throat cut pretty quick. The constant dinosaurs added another exciting dimension to the game imo and I loved the setting - trapped in the jungle with a group of people surviving against all odds. I think it was good as Turok had generally been ridden to death and was heading toward being outdated after Turok 2. This is different to the general theme game companies go for - same thing over and over until it fails to sell. Where they said - let’s try something different. It definitely had its shortcomings but I would actually recommend it. Focusing on stealth gameplay as opposed to shooting to accentuate the knife.

I've been wanting you to do a review of this game glad you finally did it

[@thejonathan130]

So... In 1997 Turok started out as a console game, which later had PC ports. But in 2008 they had to "dumb down” Turok to have it work on consoles. Nah man, that's not fair enough. It's lazy developers.

[@solarstrike33]

thejonathan130 Garrett in general does not think fondly of console ports.

[@EternalDahaka]

We lost the ability to scroll through weapons, after weapon wheels became popular. The only thing that dumbed-down were the devs.

[@Hirnlego999]

Massmarketing, make it mainstream. Not that the original Turok games are masterpieces either.

[@eren7kruger129]

Oh lazy developers lul, said by someone that probably has no idea about the game development

[@Immorpher]

That era of FPS games were so rough for me. They were all generic corridor shooters with weapon limits (like Duke Nukem Forever). So many FPS games flopped, but it was necessary because we're getting good FPS games now which learned from the mistakes of that era.

@@FatfighterXD1 and pop-up textures that still happens in UE4 games like recent Darksiders3

[@NoExplosionsMcgee]

Later iterations of Unreal Engine 3 didn't really have these issues and was a hell of a lot more optimized than it was in it was in it's early years.

[@Nothsa-mt4yo]

@PUPPET MASTER Jesus, your computer must be incredibly old or something... Also, optimisation depends on the game lol

[@Nothsa-mt4yo]

@PUPPET MASTER Indeed Unreal Engine 3 had its problems, but optimisation wasn't one of them. It completely depends on the game, take Unreal Tournament 3 for example, incredibly well optimised

[@TeddyOnTheSpot]

Call me a nitpicker, but one thing that bothers me just looking at this footage is how slow Turok moves compared to the other games in the series. I’ve never played a Turok game before, but the previous games all looked like they had a pretty sweet movement speed. Here, it honestly looks like Turok is moving at the speed of Ethan Thomas from Condemned: Criminal Origins. Compare this to other reboots of older FPS games like DOOM and Shadow Warrior, which, even though they came out later, had a brisk movement speed. Here, it just looks like you’re moving through molasses.

[@Big_Gulps_Huh]

His slow movement speed becomes more apparent when you're being chased down by a T-Rex. If you have no solid objects to circle around, you will be caught almost instantly. Btw, that means instant death animation (being eaten).

[@Hirnlego999]

T1 and 2 levels are huge though. And they have very boring missions where you need to find switches and "keys" in maze like environments. The remasters also add notifications on where to go so that the player won't be completely lost. They were still entertaining because they looked rather good at the time and the music in at least in the first two games were good. The original PC conversions actually cut down the music of some levels for the PC, this was before mp3 were used, but at least the remasters fixed this.

[@TeddyOnTheSpot]

Hirnlego999 After writing this comment, I actually went back and played the NDS Remaster of Turok 2, and I have to say that I enjoy it wholeheartedly. The gore system is nice, the guns feel satisfying to use, and the levels, while confusing at times, feel varied and expansive with lots of little secrets that encourage you to explore.

[@Walamonga1313]

I remember playing the Turoks on PS2, so when I saw that there was one coming out for PS3 I really wanted to play it. I literally bought the game before I even had a PS3. Didn't like it that much but didn't hate it. It was just 0K. But for a while it was the only game I had. I still remember the final bossfight with the T rex. Glad videos like these exist, can't believe it's been like 14 years since this came out.

[@SashaFYI]

Turok in Russian means "turkish (man)"

Gears of War ruined the gaming landscape for a good while. Characters all had to be big meaty space marines who could barely grunt out a complete sentence, everything was in shades of gray and brown, and it seemed like anything lighthearted or colorful was avoided at all costs. For all the problems the industry has right now, at least we're finally getting away from all that edgy bullshit.

[@JoeSchmoeBro]

Gears of war?!lmao your fucking around right? That game is one of the best

Turok 3's protagonists were Joseph and Danielle Fireseed, Joshua's younger brother and older sister. Yes, Joshua was in the game, but only as a part of the story (and as a playable character, but only through cheats)
