Re: New Turok already out?

I would have thought that its just misinformed retailers again thats all. Although from what people have been telling me about the demo they might be right to release it before any reviews come out.

Darn, I thought my thought bubble , time transport experiment worked, wait what year is this and where is my pitch fork :)

Crikey. If what Kotaku reports is true then I'll bet Turok's publishers won't be too impressed. ^_^

I'll probably be skipping out on this latest Turok game, though. I loved the ol' N64 Turok games but I wasn't all that fond of the new Turok demo I downloaded from Xbox Live the other day.

Turok = crappy.

Dunno what the old games were like but it looks like they haven't improved. This is one shockingly bad game from the demo...and your sidekick is about as useful as a chocolate teapot too...

Thats the problem the old games were classics with some of the most impressive weapons ever seen in a game and this title looks like an abomination.
 
Re: New Turok already out?

IGN actually gave it an ok score, from what id been hearing it sounded like a 5/10 game but IGN gave it a 7.3. However the AU IGN gave it 6.5... their ratings always confuse me.

IGN: Turok Review

After reading the review and the comments, how it achieved a decent grade i dont know.

IGN said:
Textures are all uniformly ugly and low-res, while the sophisticated lighting that we've come to expect from modern titles is conspicuous by its absence. There's no doubt there's been a conscious decision to stick to a realistic colour palette for the game, but the result is quite murky much of the time, and we can't help but compare it to the hyper-realistic jungle environments achieved in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, which absolutely wipe the floor with this game.

IGN said:
Not only are they amongst the most generic looking enemies we've come across in a while – straight from the 'oppressive fascist soldier' mould, with their identical dark liveries and humanity-obscuring helmets, but they're some of the thickest too. Oh sure, they may try and flank you and they may take cover, but at no point will you believe that these guys pose an intelligent threat. Observe their movements for a short while and you'll be able to spot all the cover points they move between, as well as the fact that when not in cover they keep moving simply to make themselves harder to hit. It's all disappointingly arbitrary. And once an enemy takes cover (for the sake of taking cover) it's just a matter of aiming at the spot you know he's going to pop out to and plugging him. The dinosaurs operate on the same basic principles as well, so while you'll occasionally watch (or encourage) a dynamic encounter between enemy soldiers and prehistoric predators, for the most part the dinosaurs don't present an intelligent challenge, just a fast-moving one. They also move between designated points - after we shot one dino out of a tree, for instance, another one scuttled across and took the exact same position.

That's by no means the worst the AI has to offer either - there were countless moments where we were reminded of the artifice of the world. Stabbing a Wolf Pack soldier in the head with a knife barely a metre away from his squad mate who simply continued on his patrol. Moving on after a colossal shoot-out only to find a soldier still at his post, staring off into the distance a few metres down the path. Strolling up to an enemy crouching down behind cover and introducing our knife to his throat via an eye socket. Friendly AI standing around getting shot. You get the idea. There's no sense of cohesion – just a whole lot of AI routines running separately, only occasionally overlapping.

I mean all that about how bad the AI is in the second quote. :lol:

Turok, or not Turok. That is the question.

Sorry, it was just so easy.
