Turok (2008) Underrated and Underappreciated

Ойындар

In 2008 we were blessed with the reboot of Turok. Upon its release Turok 08 was pegged as mediocre at best. Now, 10 years later we take a look back at Turok 08. Did it really deserve its poor reception? Or was it just misunderstood at the time? Like so many great works of art before it. Come along with me as I take you on a journey, from Turok's humble beginnings and its explosive finale.
Thanks for watching,

    Might very well be my favorite game of all time. I dont believe it was truly a perfect game at all, but I’ve never had more fun or nostalgia with any game. I do believe the game was underrated like you said though. That and a lot of games around that time were shadowed by the major releases of the time like halo, cod, and battlefield I still play it on Xbox 360 and PC to this day, got a few groups going actually if anyone wants to play (we still do as of summer 2022 btw!)

    Turok 2008 needs a remaster! I have this game on PC and it's near unplayable for me: - broken lightning - a fov that is too small and impossible to change without breaking the game If a remaster comes I would like it to improve some things: - checkpoints (like you said in the video) - 21:9 Support - Upgraded Unreal Engine 3 or 4 if it's possible - Human enemies should bleed and explode into pieces just like the Dinosaurs - minor improvements to the difficulty, gameplay, and AI I've always wanted to play some Turok 2008 Multiplayer but I don't have it for Xbox 360 or PS3 and on PC the servers are offline. I didn't notice that Turok looks different in the flashbacks and I never knew that there were so many big names in Turok 2008. I think it would have been better if you had some Turok soundtrack in the background. Fun Fact: I used to call this game Turok 4 because I thought Turok Dinosaur Hunter, Turok 2, Turok Evolution and Turok 2008 were the only Turok games. I never got to play Turok 3 and Rage Wars.

    This was an enjoyable video. I liked this new Turok and was pretty sad, that we never got the sequel. I'd like them to rerelease this game on Switch or other newer platforms. Or they could reboot Turok again and make it like the original stories with a good production value.

    I really liked your video, the game may not be very strong because its history is weak, the game is incomplete, and it has small linear tracks, but it's the best action sci-fi survival game of all time, with lots of good ideas and variety. That on an alien planet, dinosaurs and enemy soldiers with excellent artificial intelligence, must be killed with various weapons, including my favorite knife, which also has special tps animations. The game was even tossed up by the voices of Hollywood actors.

    I think it still holds up pretty well actually. It's kind of ugly to look at by modern standards, the near-death screen effects are awful and disorienting, the amount of times the player is knocked over is pretty unacceptable, and the quick time events are understandably polarizing, but at its core it's a good game I think. I haven't been able to find anything that can really even come close to its atmosphere, art and sound design. I still think about it a lot, which is more than can be said for probably the majority of 360/ps3 era shooters.
