gyro on, do the look-down as you jump manually (the one that metroid prime does automagically).

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter & Turok 2: Seeds of Evil HD on Nintendo Switch |OT| Cerebral, Not Boring. #TeamFog vs #TeamNoFog
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
I grabbed Turok 1 on a whim after not playing it since the N64 launch all those years ago. Never did finish the game back in the day, I was't that great at it. Funnily revisiting the game in these days and I have a deeper appreciation for the game. Fast paced combat and huge levels with a nice emphasis on exploring. Quite refreshing for a FPS game in this day and age. Even the platforming is easier than I remember. I'll definitely be grabbing the Switch port of Turok 2 once I finish the first game.
Is this some kind of fuckin' joke?
Is this someone's idea of a sick joke?
Damn, Nightdive, go easy on me! I can only handle so much!
Ps. Omg level 4 is a maaaaaaze!

I posed a super detailed breakdown of the staff in the early pages of this thread. There's one single art person from T2 who worked on Prime. Nobody else. All the Prime people come from Rage Wars!
->
little fun addendum: Iguana's VP of Technology Craig Galley ended up co-founding Panic Button!
only thing we could be missing is some uncredited people who worked on the canceled prototypes like Danny Matson, who was lead animator on Ravenblade from 99-01 (no Turok-relation here, just a random tidbit).
from Matson's personal site

Man I wish I knew if it was coming to Best Buy or not. I'm guessing no, but I'd hate to buy it now only for it to pop up later.
Level 5 is once again hilariously mazey.
I need to know what Iguana was smoking when they designed these labyrinths lol.
The level design is actually fine, but they desperately needed to find a way to make them less mazey. Visual flair, a better map, I dunno.

Turok 1 on hardcore is fucking insane. Is this even playable?
I got through level 1 but it was tough as hell. I can't believe how strong and fast the enemies get.

It was great to finish Turok 1 all the way for the first time in like 20 years.
The T-Rex fight is different from the N64 isn't it? And boy was it easy.
Campaigner was even easier. I don't remember the Chronoscepter (sp?) being THAT strong. Hell, even fighting him without it is pretty damn easy.

Yeah, sorry there's been no real announcement yet and that it's taken so long with mostly silence. We'll hopefully have a full write up as to what's been going on and why soon enough, but the results should hopefully make up for it more than enough.

at least one dino game is getting some love, right? :( :)I thought the dream of MP was dead

I mean this clearly is here to show is you need to fix your network connection. That ping is ...let's say "retro" :D
I live in New Zealand, am already on fiber with commercial grade networking hardware (RouterOS is a must for my job given the many network services I need to use and bridge), the host was in Sweden. Unless you are suggesting I change the speed of light, that ping isn't getting any lower.
It's actually surprising how low it is given everybody is connected over a relay server.

Clearly the next logical step is to move to Sweden :D
(this was just a weird 240° throwback jab since back in those days I used to be the 56k person among a crowd of early DSL adopters and ISDN people where I stuck out with my 500+ pings :D)
108 ping looks pretty good to me as an Australian even before I heard the backstory

Sweet!
I forgot this had a German localization despite growing up with that version :D
The teasing in my LTTP Turok 1 thread. :)
Fantastic news. I got Turok 2 and was itching to play it over other games in my backlog but I suppose it's Turok time again, baby.
Thanks for bringing these wonderful games back.
I've sneakily made the Turok2 playfab crossplay beta on Steam public. It is available in the beta options and is called "playfab beta". You can use this to play multiplayer with the Switch and PS4 users.
Note that:
- This is only available for Windows.
- Don't use this beta for singleplayer progress, as it will break your saves if you try to go back to the base version
- Splitscreen and chat are disabled (there are still ways to do them, please don't try in public sessions, they are disabled for a reason).
- Mods still work but you won't be able to see modded lobbies on PS4 or Switch.
- Given that the Switch and PS4 is live, I may disable this branch at any time if there is an issue with this beta being present along side them.

I'm just here to point out that one of these is now real.
