Title: Febuary is going TU-ROK!!
Post by: Ares300 on January 31, 2008, 04:37:12 PM
The new Turok game is awesome! I just got a demo of it and, while short, is very fun. Its been a long time since we had a Turok game, this one sort of relaunches the franchise a bit, I suppose since Tal 'Set(spl?) or Joseph Fireseed isint in it.

Eh, I'm expecting a huge disappointment if I ever even get around to playing it. So far, all of the Turok games' 1-player parts have been pretty boring once you beat them. The first didn't even have multiplayer, so that sucked.

Evolution's multiplayer was probably the best so far, at least in terms of the weaponry you can use. But the 1-player part of it just wasn't that great.

And the story of the new one is completely...off-track. What happened to the whole Son of Stone scheme? The new protagonist isn't even Native American like the Turoks before always have been.

You fail. This Turok IS Native American and the new multiplayer maps look cool with the neutral raptors and the like trying to kill you.

However, I do agree where the....primitive, I guess, time period went.

I believe the storyline is that the main character is a descendant of the Native American Turok.

Which makes me wonder why they decided to go with making him look completely white. It's not a big deal, but it does annoy me a bit.

Well he must have the original Turok somewhere in his bloodline....

Maybe he goes all Turok sometime, all like "ARGHRAWR".

Thats not Turok you idiot. Thats Slate or Slade, or whatever his name is. YOU play as Turok. He actually looks a tad Asian and has a mohawk.

Settle down, stud. I'm just going by the videos I saw months ago.  Either way, I can't say I care too much about the game.

It got a 7.0 from IGN.

That's not that good.

I played the demo of it a few weeks ago at a friend's house after a few bong hits, and we didn't even finish the demo before quitting and deciding it sucked. The controls were really poopty and the game felt dry and scripted.

My XBL Gold ran out so I can't download the demo until I renew it.

This makes me hope that Turok: Dinosaur Hunter for the N64 comes out on the VC soon though.

It's rated M, so it probably won't.
