The Turok Demo Hit North America today and one writer from Sarcastic Gamer has had it's way with Turok, dinosaurs and crappy graphics.
From the article: "Therein lies the problem. They want you to be all Rambo on these guys, except, there's no HUD, so you have no idea where the bad guys are. They tell you to rely on sound, but unless you have a phat 5.1 surround sound system, you ain't gonna hear squat, except footsteps coming from…somewhere. I can't tell you how many times I'd be stalking a baddie, then suddenly hear foot steps. I'd look around quickly, only to realize that the footsteps were my own! Real stealthy…"
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.
Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
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.
I liked the dinosaurs. the graphics were just okay... I guess I kind of agree, but disagree with this review.
The stealth knife kills were really cool though. IMO.
I'm downloading it right now. Yet another game I had high hopes for. Crushed.
I agree with the review.The concept was very nice but at the end...another bad Turok game.High hopes for nothing.
I liked it too, and the bow and arrow was awesome. Whats a Turok game without it.
That title is like an Understatement. Turok Demo was a dissapointment.
