GamesRadar writes: "If ever a series lost its way, it's Turok. After a couple of brilliant N64 games, it combusted. First it went darker (d'oh) added zombies (gah!), then went back to dinos only with added mediocrity (sigh). It looked like a sure candidate for extinction. But all that could be reversed if the new Xbox 360/PS3 iteration lives up to its potential. We were given exclusive hands-on access to a near-complete build of the game recently and it's looking... surprisingly Halo-like. Check out the vid below then we'll get down to the nitty-gritty".
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.
got the demo what a piece of crud game I mean boring to the nines. Anyone who spends cash on this without trying the demo is gonna get soaked for 60+ bucks.
Rushed the development on this one.... This game could have looked Beautiful! I'm talking Uncharted beautiful.... but, then again, that takes time and money.
Something i'm guessing they didn't have a lot of.
just got to play the demo today , mygod.. WHAT A LET DOWN!!
:(
I played the PS3 demo and was initially underwhelmed. I really wanted to love this game as I loved Turok on the N64. Some of the graphics looked a little bland, especially for a next gen game coming out at this stage of the console's life cycle. I understand it's a demo, so I hope the finished product looks a little more lush. The reviewer in Play magazine really liked the game and gave it 9.0/10. The problem I had with it is that dinos tend to come at you from every direction with little to no warning. Your buddy just stands there with a scowl on his face and warns you that he'll leave you if you fall behind. That's about all he says. I'm going to play the demo some more and see if it grows on me. If not, I might hold off for a while.
