Turok in February News

Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

16 August, 2007

The next game in the Turok series will be released on 8th February 2008, Disney Interactive has announced this morning .

The long-awaited dinosaur-hunting FPS was originally slated for this autumn on PS3 and 360, but developer Propaganda Games has decided the title needs a bit more work to get it up to scratch.

Turok is set 200 years in the future, and tells the story of Joseph Turok (you) as he fights to take down his old mentor-turned-war-criminal Roland Kane. But not everything goes to plan. On your way to the planet he's hiding on, you're shot down and find yourself in a prehistoric world fighting off dinosaurs as well as baddies.

It's a rethink of the N64 original, and is being built using Epic's Unreal Engine 3. Highlights include 16-player online play, where you'll have to avoid your opponents as well as roaming escapees from Jurassic Park. Don't end up like that chap who tried to hide in the portaloo.

We recently had a chance to sit down and talk to Propaganda co-founder and studio manager Josh Holmes about the game. Pop over to our Turok interview to find out more.

Turok has a lot of ground to make up after the last outing. I am too excited with Bioshock to be remotely interested in any other Unreal3 powered game right now.

Considering how crap pirates of the Caribbean is I don't expect much from this either.

I've sat here rubbing crystal balls and come to the conclusion that this will be shite.

Im quite looking forward to this. I was always a fan of the previous turoks.

A return to form im hoping.

Though quite bemused by Disney being involved? I remember them being quite violent. (turoks not disney)

I loved Turok 1 on the N64. A non linear FPS where you could actually get lost. I like that - there aren't enough FPS like that anymore. Only games where there's one way to go.

The trailer looked a bit promising as well. The last Turok I played was the cube one which was quite bad actually (don't know if it was the last Turok released so far). Still I'm interested in this because at least the 3 N64 Turok games were really good.

Stalker?

Indeed, Bioshock?

Metroid Prime (and two sequels)?


They're going to have to flog Turok's carcase very hard indeed if they want that horse to run again.

There are exceptions of course but they are all very scarce. Also the Bioshock demo was very linear with always only one way to go, no idea about the full game though.

Was his name always Joesph Turok?! It just seems... unlikely.

"I AM (joesph) TUROK!"

The knife kill on the raptor looks pretty cool. They showed that a lot during E3 coverage of this game.

I'm a real turok fan. I even loved Turok Evolution and played it on ps2, gamecube, xbox and pc. Although I'll admit I bought the pc version last and lost interest someway through. Also played the four n64 games but didn't get on with the mainly multiplayer cart but enjoyed the 3 main games. I'm looking forward to this but surprised Turok is still a viable franchise as everyone I know hated evolution apart from me.
