Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (Remaster) & Turok+ Video Review

[@Gggmanlives]

Dude, the amount of quality videos you pump out is legendary. I know you've probably heard it a bazillion times, but you really do deserve more subs.

[@Gamingpastime64]

You, sir, are an inspiration and we appreciate the kind words. Thank you. I, personally am a huge fan of your work.

[@GORYAWARRIA]

Gggmanlives yes co signed by one of the greats !!!! Keep up the great videos

[@prezidenttrump5171]

He's a lot better than you are Gggmanlives, he has constructive criticism while the majority of the time all you do is whine and complain about the games you review.

[@odinsire3879]

The quality is lacking here. For some reason he turned off blood(or made it pink), which makes the action look weak.

[@Gamingpastime64]

[@Snyperwolf91]

Great review . No unnecessary fluff , on point and especially no fast assumptions . This channel deserves more subscribers and views than it now has .

[@RaPtOr9600]

So true.

[@DigitallyDelirious]

I played hte 64 version a lot when I was a kid. I love this game. My 64 copy is signed by the dev team The remaster is a godsend, though

[@Ronnie1992]

I actually own the n64 version with the box and manual,the manual also has a little comic book in it. Turok and Turok 2 seeds of evil were always my favorite shooters in the n64,alongside 007 Goldeneye of course,but Turok always had a special place in my heart you know?The soundtrack,the graphics,those awesome enemies death animations,they amused me since i was a kid,but the controls were a pain,but like you said,with time i kinda mastered the shity control and adapted to its crap factor😁 Regardless,Turok is a amazing Fps ,and is a shame we don't get any shooter game like this anymore like the ones from back in the 90's with those crazy arsenals. Cheers from Brasil!!!

[@CruelestChris]

As I recall, doesn't the manual think the player character is Joshua, per the box art?

[@Ronnie1992]

CruelestChris Yes,I just chequed it again,and it is Joshua Fireseed. The comic in the manual shows him as well,but in the game we play as Tal'Set.

[@Loner762]

Ronnie Orsano thoose games were my childhood...fuck

[@HaqqAttak]

The controls really were horrible. And the best part was all the jumping where your camera is actually far ahead of where your feet are. It was brutal.

[@ZinhoMegaman]

I don't know if most Turok players know this but if you hold down the jump button our view automatic goes down so you don't (always) need to look down. Cheers from Brazil too!

[@Hiandbye95]

6:25 That's a raptor wielding a gun... Guess I'm gonna have to buy this game now.

[@Gamingpastime64]

Exactly.

[@bernasplays7892]

This makes me so happy. The n64 version was my first shooter ever!

[@jeromebanks9045]

Bernas Plays! Mine too

[@NathanJennings1222]

Turok was the first game my brother got for his N64, followed by MK Trilogy. This remaster is by far the best version of Turok, and the Plus mod tosses in the weapons from Turok 2. I love Turok 2 Remastered, but the first Turok game has less confusing level design.

[@drdwkelley]

I have to say the most glaring difference between this and the n64 version is the view distance. Because of this the enemies will see you a lot sooner. You will be shot from nowhere and can take a lot of damage before you locate the target.

Staying home sick from school, high as a kite from cold medicine, vibing out playing Turok. Those were the days.

[@bernasplays7892]

Your channel is still SUPER underrated!

[@papuchomio]

Hi there! I just discovered your channel a couple days ago but I already love your work, great reviews, good image quality, good sound and believe it or not I love that you are a fast talking guy, I don’t like when people speaks too slow, keep it up, you’re a great reviewer. You jus got a new subscriber!

[@Chips185]

I grew up playing the turok series on the 64 in the 90s. This game and the second are my favorites. Some of coolest enemies on a M rated game with awesome weapons, as well And man oh man oh man the soundtrack is kick ass.

[@comyxcon4gaming860]

Ah, the memories of one of the first FPS games I've ever played. Hopefully, with enough sales, we can see a TRUE continuation of this venerable franchise; that although still born, even with the stellar job of the remasters, can re-emerge anew. Great review!!

[@Dargone007]

I am loving these videos! I'm currently installing/modding a bunch of classic games. I discovered these videos as I started doing this. These videos have been a perfect compliment to my project. I just downloaded the Turok Package from Steam and now have two more games to play! Your point of view on these games is exactly like mine. My multiplayer days are long past and now I simply want to enjoy single-player fun with some offline bot deathmatch/teamplay where able. Thanks to your videos I now have Unreal Tournament 2004, Quake 3 Arena and Battlefront II in addition to these two games all modded and ready to go. Thia project started with just the Doom series and Quake 1 and 2. I'll be busy for a long time! Thanks again!

[@Gamingpastime64]

Enjoy, my friend.

[@drag0nchampi0n]

Now we just need a Turok Rage Wars remaster. That was the hidden gem of the series!

[@theshield1613]

Turok evolution is my childhood game back in 2002 when I was 7 years old, good old days

[@501stJackal]

Back in the N64 days this game (Turok: Dinosaur Hunter) for me felt like next level shit. Small details like the music changing when you went underwater, the big maps, the exploration, that soundtrack. This and Killer Instinct Gold blew my mind when i was a kid, there's also Goldeneye but it didn't cause that initial shock that Turok caused on me.

[@sibylsaint]

I loved the N64 control scheme, and even found a menu option in Goldeneye to have the same. Yellow arrow buttons to move, and the stick to look around. It was so intuitive and way better than using the stick to move and not being able to look around very well.

[@jessep7464]

i love loved this game when i was a kid i always loved the music and sound effects, it had such a great atmosphere for the time....that generation of video games was so amazing...

[@TheChibiGingi]

Between this game and Goldeneye 64, my brother and I would often miss the bus to school... we were too busy sneaking it in while our parents left for work. Ah, good times.

[@MadfellaDuke]

The 2008 reboot game is highly underrated in my opinion, i still wonder why they havent made any more of these games

[@AliBazz]

Nah it was lame

[@SRGIProductions]

Funny thing I was actually born in 1997, the same year this game came out, the same year Fallout 1 came out, and the same year The Lost World: Jurassic Park hit theaters. I never watched a Jurassic Park film until I've seen Jurassic Park III back in 2001. On the subject of Turok, I haven't played any of the games but I have seen box out of it, that was until recently when I picked up the night dive versions of both games. I love Turok +. Such a great mod and now my preferred way of playing the original Turok.

[@carlbrown1000]

I swear this was the game me and my cousin played on splitscreen as kids on our Xbox and there was this gun that seemingly did nothing, but looked cool as hell. And like a month later I accidentally used the weapon and it shot a rocket or energy beam that chased down my cousin halfway through the map and blew him up and we realized we were sleeping on this monsterly powerful weapon.

[@Freedomlander_101]

This thing was my entire childhood

[@Turok1134]

For the N64 version of Turok, if you set the controls to left handed mode, you move with the d-pad and aim with the control stick. It essentially works just as dual analog works today. Just in case you ever wanted to give the N64 version another shot.

[@Gamingpastime64]

I might. I have alternative controllers I want to try with a few games.

[@dun0790]

I think people may have forgotten when this game released the n64 was a better 3d processors then most pcs on the market

[@onearmedbandit84]

Hey, GP. Remember that ambitious mod I bought up in your Call of Duty 2 review? It finally came out and I highly recommend that you along with everyone else reading this to check it out. Its called the Hardcore Tactical Mod (HCTM) on Moddb. Just make sure you read the manual first.

[@arhickernell]

I loved this game on n64. As a kid though I remember I couldn't get past the second level so I never beat it withouthl cheats. Picked up this remaster last year and beat it start to finish in like 3 sittings. This game is still awesome and I know they did turok 2 already and I really with they'd remaster turok 3

[@SandroSensei]

Great review man, subbed to your channel. Would you please make a Turok 2 review? Also, is there something known about a PS4 release? I cant find anything for it online.

[@Gamingpastime64]

We actually reviewed Turok 2 (remaster) some time ago. Not sure about a PS4 release.

[@DieHardjagged]

They are only on PC and XBox One.

[@luismiranda8944]

I'm pretty sure you can swap between ammo types. On the N64, it was with the down arrow on the D pad. Not sure what the PC equivalent is.

[@Rountree1985]

Why do you have the blood turned off?

[@Gamingpastime64]

I think I was going through the options for a recording and never turned it back on. I didn't even realize.

[@Rountree1985]

Gaming Pastime just wondering, thought it was odd since you play some pretty violent games. Figured it had to be an accident.

[@MegapiemanPHD]

I can never find the dang key's in this game.

[@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus]

Takes me back to 1st grade! My little brother and i would turn on cheats and lay waste because it was too hard back then :)

[@samz8691]

Classic TR had some good dinos

[@SharonisCarin321]

I grew up with this game as a kid I never played 2, but my brothers did Gaming Pastime have you played 2 3 Rage Wars and Evolution?

[@mayoluck]

Damn 12,000 subs, 10,000 views thats damn good

[@will4127]

I might have had the same backpack as you. You could move the graphic on the backpack and the raptor would look like it was opening its jaws, I think.

[@Gamingpastime64]

Yeah, that sounds accurate.

[@jordanwright2313]

Remember playing all 3 Turok games for n64, would be cool to get them on ps4 haha

[@Kadajliger100]

very well done review!

[@brentonhobson]

I just used the map to help with jumping

[@OuhPii]

Somehow I really like war chiefs as vg protagonists + Turok also captures my amiga nostalgia with it's level and sound design » good sh!t

[@incudust953]

are the blue flashes as bad in this version? when i play the 64 version i can only go so long before the blue flashes from item pickups starts really bothering my eyes

Imagine the hubris it would take to actually hunt raptors.

Nice! i love the music on this game.

[@GamerMinilla]

[@mogensschmidt2498]

better review than classic game room

[@thiagovidal6137]

1:40 Your information is off here. This is not based on the original PC version. It is it's own beast developed from the ground up in a completely new engine, but the N64 version was the starting point. The PC port was identical to the N64 version. The slightly different levels are exclusive to this version as an intentional redesign to give the game a better flow. The original (both N64 and PC) could be frustrating due to extremely 'labyrinthian' levels in which some of the keys required to proceed were way too hidden almost as if it was a secret. This version re positioned a few of these keys as well as one of the levels got heavily redesigned to cut down to the amount of repetitive corridors.

[@Gamingpastime64]

If the originals are both identical, this is technically based on them then, no? Just recreated with a new engine. But I didn't know about the redesigned levels and I could have swore I read somewhere the original PC version was slightly different. My mistake then. If they did the same with Turok 2 then wow. Because those levels are insane.

[@thiagovidal6137]

Yes, they were both identical. You probably know about Kaiser, the developer who single handled reversed engineered Doom 64 straight from the rom, and ported into a new engine to release on PC called Doom64EX. He was doing the same with TurokEX based on the N64 version when Nightdive scooped him up and turned this into an official product. A straight up port would have not allowed them to actually change the game and the levels. N64 and PC were the same. This version was the first time that any improvements on level design was made. There is a bullet point on the Steam store listing that out and there is a few topics of discussion in the community in which Kaiser himself talks a bit about it. Check it out: steamcommunity.com/app/405820/discussions/0/494632768631804391/

[@Nohahio]

awesome review!

[@MrAwsomeness360]

For those who prefer playing with a video game controller like myself, do these game come with that option?

[@GamerMinilla]

11 months later, but yes, they do. I use my Xbox one controller, personally, and it works great once I binded the buttons to my liking. Turok even has some auto-aim to it for smoother gameplay (even when using Mouse and Keyboard), most likely a carryover from the N64 version.

[@tiefighter3445]

I played Turok 2 and Perfect Dark on N64 back in 1999-2000. Still remember going into Toys R Us and my mom buying them for me. I rented the first Turok game after playing the 2nd one to see what it was like and I remember not liking it as much. Good review though.

[@Gamingpastime64]

I think Turok 2 is an overall improvement but the level design gets to be a bit much.

[@CampinSteve]

Maybe you could do an updated review on SWAT elite force?

[@Charizard215]

Fully automatic assault rifle is the only reason I want Turok+. I got the Switch version. Fuck.

[@ZinhoMegaman]

I had Turok 1 and 2 for N64, even preordered Turok 2, i'm a great fan of this series and looking foward to see Turok 3 on PC if it ever happens. One question, why you play without blood?

[@Gamingpastime64]

I was recording the menu and playing with settings. Forgot to turn it back on.

[@ZinhoMegaman]

I understood, but you have to agree that it's pretty bland without it. Anyway, great review and keep up your good work, it's really awesome to see you playing with the mods so we can decide if it's worth.

[@jackiesantos2121]

I hope they bring his game back again you never see a first person shooter with Dinosaurs in it there are major Isaac Parker first person shooter probably did

[@saulb2488]

Oh this brings me back

[@Basszilla350]

This is super late, could you do a review on a new mod called "NEW WEAPONS & TEXTURES". It surpassed Turok+ in popularity. Looks interesting, would love to see your take on it.

[@DjOliScrewed]

Can i get achievements if i install these mods?

[@justinmcare814]

So in the original Turok on the n64 you cannot throw grenades despite being able to pick them up ?.... I hope someone can tell me because I never could use them

[@TarantuLandoCalcuLingus]

Theyre only for the grenade launcher originally. It sucks but 'tis what 'tis.

[@Agito56]

Brings back memories of the 64 lol

[@QMMarc]

Im really looking to get this one and the second one. I wonder are you going to review all of the games? honestly, ive played most of them except that remake, dont even know what it looks like, kinda scared to find out i know they say its awful hahaha.

[@Gamingpastime64]

I remember it being not great and the final boss being a real bitch. But it's been about 10 years since I've played it. We did review the second game (remaster) a while ago. Haven't reviewed Evolution yet. It'll happen eventually.

[@thebeluvdtrex]

You cant use the Chronosceptor to beat the Campaigner if you use cheats. You'll auto switch to knife and campaigner will laugh at you. At least thats how it was on the N64. I actually had no idea you could use the weapon on him until I got older and played the remaster getting all the peices during my first playthrough.

[@CienCarasWC3]

TUROK!!!!! SON OF STONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@odinsire3879]

Why did you turn off the blood?

[@Gamingpastime64]

I was going through the menu messing with settings for a recording and just forgot to turn it back on.

[@captawesome42]

I'd love it if more of this video was about the actual game instead of the 85 mods you downloaded to change it into something it isn't

[@pippo17173]

I only manage to get halfway threw this game.

[@DieHardjagged]

Played through th N64 port and the remaster without a problem, you shouldnt get lost at all.

[@Gatirecords-]

they should really remake this game

[@Immorpher]

Growing up with Turok indeed we got used to the controls. But the modern FPS controls are always superior and the original controls made the platforming not fun.

[@Gamingpastime64]

I can imagine.

[@CruelestChris]

Turok controls wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the side-hop (double-tap C left or righht) that makes you accidentally jump off ledges a lot, and the incredibly aggressive lookspring that you can't turn off. The jumping is made a lot easier when you realise you can jump in mid-air.

[@HaqqAttak]

You couldn't jump 'in mid air' its just that the camera was comically far ahead of your legs.

[@CruelestChris]

No, you really can perform a jump in mid-air long as you haven't jumped already.

[@HaqqAttak]

Well that explains why I was never able to catch those vines.

[@decommissioned_redact3d183]

ha, recently referenced this game in a comment... thought it was obscure but hey look posted one day ago I bet they couldn't make this game today due to the native thing.. Gameplay is different due to render distance lol

[@franzpattison]

I really like your reviews but why do you talk so FAST?

[@nerdman67]

“Realistically depicted”

[@Gamingpastime64]

Based on the knowledge we had at the time. Jurassic Park now is very outdated in that regard.

[@nerdman67]

Gaming Pastime Spielberg made a lot of decisions for the sake of making the movie feel more intense to him. They knew many of the dinos had feathers and were more colorful but he didn’t think that was scary so he ignored the advising paleontologists working with him to make what he thought was a better movie There was a good amount of accuracy when it came to the dinosaur behavior and how they would react to things, but visually(and when it came to the size and shape of many dinos) he took a lot of creative freedom. The book is much more accurate

[@Gamingpastime64]

Despite the innaccuracies, I don't know of any other movies before JP that depicted dinosaurs in a realistic sense, visually speaking.

[@dearhorse085]

[@PhillipOnTakos]

[@Gamingpastime64]

Raptors, Triceratops, Dimetrodon, and a cyborg T-Rex. Better than nothing.

[@Dsmbr03]

I was just pointing out that you don't directly hunt them. They're just something you're killing because they're in your way. Thought it would be worth a laugh.

[@Gamingpastime64]

Middle Dark Actually, that's true. You're not really "hunting" anything. Just killing everything in your way.

[@HaqqAttak]

"Realistically depicted" BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Gamingpastime64]

For it's time, in 1993, yeah, realistically depicted. Unless there's another dinosaur movie released at that time with better effects that I'm just not aware of.

[@owenlindkvist5355]

Then you should have stated that the movie boasted superb visual effects. Realistic depiction infers something entirely different. As in, they are depicted in a manner and visage that seems to be realistic to those creatures when they roamed.

[@Gamingpastime64]

And it is compared to any other dinosaur film that came before it. Their appearance, movement, etc. Realistically depicted. Yes, I'm aware of the film's inaccuracies discovered since its release. I also mentioned the effects.

[@owenlindkvist5355]

Yeah, dinosaur movies prior to its release doesn't make it more realistically accurate in depiction, mate. They were all shit on that front. And admitting to their being even greater amounts of discoveries only furthers the point that it is not a movie which can be held up as having a realistic depiction of dinosaurs. Still a good movie.

[@Gamingpastime64]

I would argue it does make it more realistic. More realistic than anything before it. I agree it doesn't hold up in terms of realism. But for its time, 1993, many of the discoveries weren't made yet. It's all about context.
