Turok Evolution multiplayer was fun when me and my friend played splitscreen versus.

I doubt it. The only thing we know for sure they're working on is xbox ports of turok 1 and 2. And possibly a mac version of 2 going by what I've seen said around here.

If they DO release evolution, I highly doubt it'd be any time soon.

I bought Turok Evolution for my PS2 (everyone considered it the worst port between consoles) when it first dropped and I was absolutely bored by it.

Coming from the amazing experience, that was Turok 2 SOE for the N64, which in my opinion is still the best Turok game to date, I was confounded by the developer's direction with Evolution. Even the sountrack would make my eye lids droop. :c There were very little tense moments. Most of the time, I found myself sniping enemies from afar.

With that said, I actually wouldn't mind seeing an HD remaster of this game. I think if it turns out anything like the HD remastered Turok 1 and 2, I might actually enjoy it a little more. I love using a keyboard and mouse for FPS anyways. The loading times between realms and deaths, were pretty tedious on the PS2. Cutting load times down significantly on a pc, would help keep me playing the game and maybe I'd appreciate it more than I did when I first got my console copy.

Seem to recall there WAS originally a pc version of evolution, it was just a REALLY ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port. So, if they get the source code like they did for Turok 1 and 2, it'd be a slightly easier port job than some games.

Turok Evolution was a pretty mediocre game when it came out, rough around the edges and didn't offer much new. I remember buying it on Xbox and I maybe finished it? I did not try out the multiplayer though, perhaps that was a more redeeming feature of it. Honestly I don't remember much, but I still own the console and game, perhaps I should attempt to revisit it.

Speaking of mediocre, did anyone here play the Turok 2008 reboot where they decided dinosaurs are stupid and we should shoot military people instead? That's the only Turok game I haven't tried, and I'm debating if it's worth getting a copy for PS3. I adore the series and I'm not sure whether I should skip it or not.

I'm still on the fence about that game. I might end up grabbing it later on. I've seen the game trailers and play throughs. For a generic FPS, it doesn't look terrible. But for a "Turok" game, despite it having dinos in it, it seems to lack pretty much everything else we loved about the first two hits.

The ps3 game was ok...the graphics felt nice and SOMETIMES you fought dinosaurs. MC was a beefcake with a mohawk so that's always fun.

I can't even play evolution anymore. The graphics at the time blew my mind but there is a load wall every 50 feet, often mid flight! That original trailer though...I must have watched that 500 times and was just in awe.

Then beat it once, never revisited it.
Evolution wasn't the best Turok game but was a pretty good one, owned it on the xbox and enjoyed playing it every time I play through it. Don't see whats wrong with besides the flying levels.

I always considered it to be da bestest. Granted, I am looking through rose-tinted-glasses (which is weird because I don't wear glasses).

I can relate with rose tinted glasses and I'm glad you enjoy the game. I'm not one to argue other people's taste in entertainment.
For me, Evolution was a total dissapointment. But then again, I owned it for the PS2, which I read was considered to be the worst port.
Here's what I didn't appreciate and again keep in mind, I love Turok 2 Seeds of Evil, so my expectations of Evolution, was something as good (or better tbh).

1.I find the start screen a bit boring. Looks and sounds like something off a nature show. Very calm, soothing and overall a soft presentation. Silly me for judging a book by it's cover, or in this case, a DVD cover, which displays a killer ferocious Raptor!

2. This isn't a jab at the game itself, but of the way the developers worked the software for the PS2....
Super long loading times. Every single cut scene and game start, takes sooo long to load. Longer than other PS2 titles I've played. This was especially tedious when I died repeatedly in the flight levels. I've given up playing the game quite a few times, because I couldn't take the load times any longer.

3. The action in the game, is really blah, imho. There was only one level, (a night time level) that I found to be somewhat fun and I'd purposely set off the alarms in order to get the action going, despite the game suggesting I'd sneak attack the enemies. For the most part of the game, it was all about sniping enemies from afar. Few required up close melee action. Not my thing.

4. The enemy AI aren't very lively. They just stand there until they see you coming. Unlike in Turok 1 and 2, where they're already moving around, searching for you.

5. The dinos are pretty tame, with the exception of the raptors, who come after you. I find the AI on the T-Rex to be quite robotic. It's like taking down an animatronic T-Rex. I was hoping for a raging roaring beast, coming at me at full speed (like in the first Jurassic Park) while roaring it's head off. The inclusion of a baby Triceratops with it's mother, threw me off. I felt like I was at a petting zoo. (as you can see, I came into this game with totally the wrong expectation).

6. The out of this world elements from Turok 2, are not present in Evolution. I understand this game is a new chapter, but I really miss warping into strange and wonderfully designed realms, etc.

7. The in game music.... A total snooze fest in comparison to Turok 1 and 2, imho. There wasn't any heart racing or memorable tracks to be found in the game, imo. Even during the boss fights. Everything was pretty ho-hum to me.
The music wasn't badly composed, per se. But just not what I would have chosen for an action adventure game. They did it better for Turok 1 and 2, imo.


Now, like I said before, I would be curious to see a remaster of this title, if only because I believe killing the load times and using a keyboard and mouse, may actually bring up the enjoyment a little more. Especially if it ends up being as speedy as the remasters of 1 and 2.

I really wanted to love this game. Just wasn't what I hoped for.
