This ain't Acclaim's Turok.

[Joseph Fireseed]

If anyone has any doubts, i wanna inform everyone. This won't have anything to do with the Acclaim titles. Sabre Interactive already said you won't need to play the previous games to understand this one, and that it's an all new experience. Expecting any connections to the Acclaim series is only setting up for disappointment.

I don't like that this is yet another reboot, and Sabre Interactive really needs to clarify some things, because the information they've given us so far does not give any confidence in this game.

That is true, though around the time of Rage Wars and Shadow Man, Acclaim and Iguana had a bit of a merging, resulting in Iguana Entertainment becoming Acclaim Studios Austin

Oh right. I am wondering how much of the company stayed when they merged.

Hard to say, i know a lot of people who worked on Turok went on to work on Metroid Prime, so at least they kept making some good titles.

I remember reading this and this may explain why Turok 2 had some "Prime-esque" feel with the upgrade.

Of course there was also Powerslave/Exhumed on the Saturn and PSX that also was a more open adventure FPS but I'm quite glad that the first person genre managed to diversify itself than having Doom-likes.

I'm wondering if we could get indie FPS more inspired by games like Quake II, Goldeneye, Turok 2 among others.

No this isn't Acclaim/Iguana's Turok. But neither is it ANY Turok. It's Space Monster Fortnite Hunter. And it will BOMB with ACTUAL Turok fans. This ignorant ♥♥♥♥ would be like making DOOM third person,,,

[Joseph Fireseed]

Yep, and unless Sabre Interactive change their direction to be something more towards what Turok actually is, we might be facing another decade long gap before the Turok series gets picked up again. That's even if the IP will get touched again in the gaming sphere.

Who cares? The first game, Dinosaur Hunter, was Valiant's Turok, who upended the original Gold Key character but at least they kept his look consistent, despite changing his tribe. I love Turok 1 and 2, (1 a bit more than 2) but I never cared for Acclaim completely upending the Son of Stone to be from some made up tribe, his name now becoming a title and then being dubbed Tal'Set, more equally made up nonsense.

Too many are getting far too worked up over thirty seconds of footage and going off half ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over nothing. Nobody knows anything about the game and going down some doom spiral is of no help to anyone.

Yes, the game could very well end up being bad, but equally it could end up being rather good. If we can survive the monumental disappointment of Evolution and the equally boring 2008 reboot, we can all unclench a bit about this game.

This game looks absolutely garbage

Yeh no kidding Sherlock. Saber Interactive don't need to clarify jack, they've done more than enough in showing off the game this early. If you haven't played the new Space Marine 2 I highly recommend doing so, it will give you at least some semblance of what most of us are in for = a good time.

♥♥♥♥ me gamers man any wonder y'all making a name for yourselves as the saltiest things on the planet.

From a Turok fan sincerely wait till it releases, give it a chance.
