Here is an overview of both games:
Turok
Turok is back and no dinosaur is safe! When it was first released in 1997, Turok introduced gamers to a world teeming with cunning enemies, traps, puzzles and deadly weapons all within a vast 3D environment ready to explore. Now the classic game has been restored and enhanced with a new visual engine and exciting new features to sink your teeth into!
The Lost Land…
A world where time has no meaning – and evil knows no bounds. Torn from a world long gone, the time traveling warrior Turok has found himself thrust into a savage land torn by conflict. An evil overlord known as ‘The Campaigner’ seeks to shred the fabric of time and rule the universe using an ancient artifact known as ‘The Chronoscepter’. The Chronoscepter was shattered thousands of years ago in an effort to keep it from falling into evil hands. The Campaigner has constructed a massive focusing array which he plans to use to magnify and pervert the power of the Chronoscepter in order to shatter the barriers between the ages and rule the universe. Turok has vowed to find the eight pieces of the Chronoscepter spread throughout the Lost Land and put an end to The Campaigner’s evil plot…

20 bucks each? Get it out of my face right now
They come to PS4/Switch I'd by them both in a heartbeat.
This is not a remaster, but a slightly upgraded resolution and texture port. Geometry is the same. And is that N64 fog?
At first I thought this trailer started with showing the original version. But then the trailer ended. :-P
It's nice to see these on Xbox One, however, $20 for each??? Daaaang!!! It should be $20 for both games.
Is this an option for people who want a game like Ark but at 60fps?
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
oh boi
No compromises !
(I really hope people see the humour in this, don't mean to offend!)
My god this is good news I loved these games on the N64 and even thought am a Xbox player I hope PlayStation get it to so if it sells well they might even make a proper sequel
Hopefully these get released on PS4 eventually. I wouldn’t mind playing through them again.
Way to expensive, but I'm guessing it will release on Game pass the same day so that won't be an issue.
It'd be kind of cool if these games came to the Switch, since they were popular on the N64.
$20 each is pretty expensive for a up resolution port of N64 games in 2018. If this was a olive branch to try to revive the brand among the game industry they chose the method poorly.
Aaaahh, the memories :)
At the very least it would have been nice to see a graphics upgrade like Perfect Dark on 360. Still a lot better than playing on an actual N64 though at 10-15 fps or whatever they ran at during action.
It actually ran pretty fast on N64. A lot of that was due to the fog covering the draw-in though.
I remember when i was 6 and a friend let me borrow Turok 1.
At the time i was amazed by it, may have to buy this.
I had fun with these on the N64, especially Turok 2 which was fairly big improvement over the original. I have to wonder how big the audience for these is though. Best of luck to the dev team.
But no PS4 version?
Awesome, I have both Turok games on N64 and Steam and will definite pick these two up again. Great franchise, unfortunately its dead now. They were the pinicle the FPS at the time and the first games to make killing robot dinosaurs cool. Like Half Life 3, I am still waiting for Turok 4.
Yeah they were and they were up there with the best of them. Unfortanly no one could compete with Rare at the time and took most of the spot light.
