Thanks yet again to Night Dive Studios for another classic that has been given some much needed attention. :cool:

Very much looking forward to the second game in the series as well.

Price seems a bit high for a remastered game think i'll wait for a better sale.

Boycey0211 · 18 Dec 2015 at 02:42

yeah it wasn't *that* good then, while its nice to see thats more of a free mod than an £11 purchase

This is no Resident Evil to warrant such a price tag, frankly surprised this warranted a remake.

Man.... the memories... loved Turok, played it so much when the N64 was new.

Probably because I could afford so few games for it at ~£50 a pop!

Sorely tempted...

seems expensive to me at the sale price also

Is that really remastered, looks like the original graphics to me.

This game was mindblowing on 3DFX Voodoo when it came out. But Jedi Knight and Quake 2 and Unreal came out shortly after, Half Life year after that, and all those were vastly better than Turok.

loved turrok on n64; but as Paul points out Jedi Knight came out and pretty much my group of friends was done

we ****ed off a few people in deathmatch in that game.......I'd run around with c3p0 skin as a jedi and slaughter people......

I shall also be waiting until the price drops a bit. It's nice to see some of these older titles get a bit of spit and polish, though.

Nate75 · 18 Dec 2015 at 11:59

Seems they did loads but no new textures?

New features include:

Support for high resolutions, and widescreen
Improved gameplay and level design
OpenGL for video backend to provide portability and support for vertical sync
Dynamic lighting, bloom, FXAA, enhanced water effects, lights shafts and more
Ability to freely rebind all keyboard, mouse, and gamepad inputs
Steam Achievements

Goldeneye next rite!?

Yeah I was excited but the textures look crap still , probably excepting to much ;O

MooMoo444 · 18 Dec 2015 at 12:20

Way overpriced - a lot of work might have gone into it but it's still an almost 20 year old game.

arc@css · 18 Dec 2015 at 12:21

Hopefully, there'll be a festive sale soon.

ED209 · 18 Dec 2015 at 12:23

saw this in steam last night, didn't think much of it to be honest but then i never played the first one.

It's already on sale 20% off.

Don't see it getting cheaper in Xmas sale.

You're probably right, though one can hope.

Game review added to the OP.

lokiss · 18 Dec 2015 at 13:35

Tbh watching that video I reckon if you stuck the n64 original on a crt, you wouldn't notice much difference.

I remember it being cool at the time purely because of the mystic of dino's and ** Do not attempt to bypass the swear filter, all swearing should be starred out ** guns. Actually playing it was more to do with tedious platforms in a limited space.

Bit of a loss as to why they bothered redoing it, beyond making a few people happy.

Nate75 · 18 Dec 2015 at 14:17

Was a great game at the time, really enjoyed it.

Really liked the one big level format rather than the multiple levels on the second game.
