The dinosaur hunter is getting physical on Nintendo Switch, courtesy of Limited Run Games. During their E3 2019 Showcase, Limited Run Games revealed that both Turok and its sequel, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil will be coming to Nintendo Switch in physical form in Q3 of this year.
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.
From the Nintendo 64 to the PC remaster, the legacy of Turok is intertwined with the history of ports.
This game came out at the perfect time for me as a kid because was still big into dinosaurs so I played Turok religiously at times. It was also the first 3D FPS I ever played.
Easily the best shooters to be had on console before Halo came.
I know Goldeneye is the one always brought up, but this just played well by comparison.
Dinosaur-themed games like Dino Crisis and Turok were everywhere in the late 90s and early 2000s. What happened to this once popular sub-genre?
How is it different than any other genre? They milk it for everything it’s worth and oversaturate the market, kill the interest and move on to the next. Then they bring it back after a hiatus.
Nice! I was almost gonna buy the Xbone version too
No digial on Switch ?
Both games are awesome and worth a purchase.
