Guardian Unlimited writes: "The post Christmas gaming lull ended this week with the postie throwing Burnout Paradise, Turok and The Club through my letterbox. Only one of those - Burnout - is released today. And the most surprising news, considering the tedious demo, is that Burnout Paradise is really enjoyable.
Not since the similarly free-roaming Crackdown have I had so much fun just mucking around in a game. Driving around the gorgeously depicted environments is entertaining enough and there are so many distractions that the lack of instant event restarts is nowhere near as annoying as feared.
But for me online is the way to really experience Burnout Paradise. It's easy to set up on the 360 - supposedly even easier on the PS3, which has to be a first - and gives the game that glorious Crackdown feel of a living breathing city."
After releasing remasters of all three original Turok games, starting with the first two games in 2021 and then Turok 3 in 2023, Nightdive Studios has quietly updated the first Turok game with a native PS5 update.
Beyond the bug fixes and general cleaning-up that comes with most patches these days, the big thing about the PS5 version for the original Turok is that if you have a TV that can support it, you’ll be able to play Turok at 120FPS now.

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.
I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.
I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.
Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.
And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.
I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.

I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.
We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.
Burnout Paradise is a blast. The online really makes it even more fun.
How the racing do you really have to keep constantly pausin the game to figure out what route to take because it doesnt give you designated tracks for a race just a start and a finish line? This is the factor that bothered me why i was waitin to buy it rather than day one purchase like i had first planned.
