My 16 year old self could never have imagined I’d have the entire Turok trilogy on my pc like 25 years later. Awesome stuff.

These days I get more excited over remasters than I do new games. Love that these classics are being revamped.

I love all these re-releases, especially night dives. I would love to see someone do this with time splitters

What the game doesn't tell you is that Brian's last name was Thundercock

You can play the game with the original N64 textures with command line argument "-useOldTextures". Create a new shortcut to the games .exe file, right click shortcut, add the command line in the Target field after the quotes. So "path to game\game.exe" -useOldTextures

It’s crazy seeing the difference between the N64 and remastered version. The new one looks like a whole new game.

I remember enjoying Turok Evolution simply because it was a dinosaur FPS, wish we got more games like that. Such an interesting concept that doesn't get used enough sadly

I actually love the fact that Joshua dies at the epilogue. The lore of the games is all about reincarnation, with "Turok" being more one title than a person. A chosen person must become Turok, the guardian of the world, who's job is to fight against the monster of the week. It keeps the series fresh and more interesting. It also tackles the fact that "Seeds of Evil" and "Shadow of Oblivion" were part of one tragic domino effect. It reminds me of how Gordon Freeman "saving" the world in the first Half Life, was the pivot point for the Alien Colonization in Half Life 2. Underrated gem.

Being able to complete the classic trilogy on modern hardware feels so good. Glad to finally have 3. Wonder if they'd humor us with a Rage Wars remaster with online, because why not?

If anyone can remaster Turok Evolution and actually bring it to the way it was meant to be (the original was clearly rushed) it would be NightDive Studios

I hope Nightdive decides to move forward with that Turok 4 idea. They said they would use the remaster engine for it. After seeing how much they improved 3, I have full confidence.

idk whats going on but i thought this video was deleted because the thumbnail wasnt showing up so i didn't end up watching this until just now

Nightdive becoming one of my favorite devs.

Super excited about Nightdive remastering the trilogy! My favorite game dev who remasters great titles!

I hope they do a remaster of Turok Evolution too! I gave a lot of nostalgia for that one. It’s one of the first PS2 games I had.

Night Dive are making a great name for themselves... Playing Turok II at 60fps 4k was a surreal experience, and it makes you incredibly OP if you're used to the original.

I played all three Turok games on my N64 and even the spin-off Rage Wars.. I still have them. And although I think Turok 2 is still by far the best of the trilogy (and one of the best FPS games period) I still really loved Turok 3. The opening cutscene was incredibly impressive back then. And the return to the Lost Land was a treat as a fan of Turok 1 I loved how Nightdive remastered Turok 1 and 2.. So its not that big of a surprise that I will buy the remaster day 1.

I'm glad someone is at least remastering boomer shooters, considering how garbage modern triple A is, it's always good to just play a simple game not filled with garbage

I had all those Turok games on N64 and I actually loved playing Rage Wars on split screen against my friends, but Turok 2 was definitely my favourite. Good times!

I used to play Turok sitting on my dad's lap when I was 5, he did the moving I was in charge of the shooting button, so many good memories with retro fps 💖

Wild how the 1st Turok remaster was in 2015, Nightdive are doing God's work.

This is the remaster I was most looking for from the original trilogy, as I never got to play it.The other two had great PC ports, this one didn't - I didn't even know this thing existed until almost a decade later. I have a hunch that Turok 2 will still remain my favourite of the bunch, but I'm still eager to play it.

16:58 Thanks for making me spill my cola from laughing. That one really got me good!

Man Turok: Evolution was my jam back on GameCube and OG Xbox. That will be a day-1 buy for sure.

Joseph seems like a good kid. I hope he does well in future endeavors. *if Turok 2008 is actually canon to the original, he ends up a prisoner, joins a militia group that imprisoned him, abandons said militia group, joins another one to help hunt his former mentor, and ends up on a planet overrun with dinosaurs with a bunch of his squad getting killed or eaten…oh and he’s also big, buff, has a deep and gruff voice, and has a small mohawk.

I remember getting this game uncensored from the electronic store in Germany and having so much fun! Two of my friends and me sat on the cheat code screen, pushing in random combinations in hopes to get god mode, unlimited ammo, anything really. Those were good less stressful times~

Gmanlives, as a fan of the turok games from nintendo 64 perhaps I did get the vision of sight back again, because you were on it about the flaws of the nintendo 64 version of "Shadow of Oblivion". I loved the first two turok games (along with rage wars) on nintendo 64 but maybe because I rented shadows of oblivion back in the day, I never checked out again after I rented it. But the remaster may give me a reason to revisit "Shadow Of Oblivion" again. So thank you very much for the review.

All the edits are hilarious, I'm dying at work. The chris tucker one sent me through the roof

Now, we need a Turok Evolution remake.

I grew up on the Turok series. I was in junior high when the first one came out, I almost shit my pants there was nothing like it on console before. I didn’t have a memory card then, so I left my N64 on all weekend so I didn’t lose my progress (I rented it) Turok 3 was so underrated. Glad it’s getting a second life now, thanks Nightdive for all the amazing, hard work. And thanks Gman for the awesome review and getting more eyes on the game! Phenomenal remaster.

I did infact ascend and leave my mortal body behind after navigating the lair of the bind ones as a child. Was massive bragging rights as a kid

It was a very successful remastered trilogy, if you want Nightdive you can continue with Turok Rage Wars and Turok Evolution. 🙂

I loved playing Turok on my N64 back in the 90s. Watching the IP slowly be destroyed by Acclaim by the early 2000s with them rushing Turok Evolution was like slowly watching 343 ruin Halo. Dark times. Nightdive studios needs to remaster Turok Rage Wars and allow us to play the multiplayer online. Would be amazing

TUROK 2: Seeds Of Evil was my childhood. So much to this day that I still have the godmode cheat code memorized: BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND. Too many hours were spent running through that game. You're right, looking at the original graphics, it IS unplayable. But I then offer that to us, at least back then, our imaginations smoothed those polygons out and we immersed ourselves in each level, blasting apart raptors and blind ones and hordes of other monsters. I'm glad this remake was done with love and care.

7:30 I realized slowly that a good part of Joseph's kit (and quite possibly the character as a whole) is more or less directly inspired by Adrian Shephard from the HL Opposing Force expansion. Both characters have NVG, a combat knife, laser guided pistol, and sniper rifle, and both also experience a segment of the game entirely through the nightvision goggles (in OP4, that's some of the maps comprising Foxtrot Uniform). Regardless, I played the original 3 Turok games years ago thanks to my Uncle having stashed away copies of N64 games he used to own (amusingly, he kept all the good ones when he sold off his N64 decades ago) and honestly this remaster looks very promising. I'm definitely going to check this one out, as I liked the original Turok games and seeing Turok 3 without the infamous N64 texture blur is like removing the smudges from your glasses.

I remember reading in an issue of Nintendo Power back in the day, Acclaim was proud of their "living world" and that Turok 3 was running at a steady 30 fps. So they were aware of the FPS issues of Turok 2, but didn't quite solve it at the time. Though it was awesome seeing lip synced cut scenes on the N64 back in the day.

Love your videos, been watching for years. Thanks for the consistently kick-ass content Gman

Another great video. It's impossible to count how many times I also come back here to review old games looking for nostalgia. I love your channel. 

I swear, whenever you drop a new video it's like a mini-event for me. Like, I'll be at work, get a notification, look at my phone and be like, "Oh shit! Gman just dropped a new video!," then have food and shit prepared before I watch once I make it home.

For the longest time, I was convinced I would never see the day this was brought to PC outside of emulation. The day has finally come!

I have been so hyped for this ever since it got announced. Turok 3 was my favorite one from my childhood because it was the only one I was able to beat. Can't wait to get this one.

Can't wait until Turok Evolution is remastered. It'll be sweet.

Thanks for reviewing this game. I knew ND studios was developing a T3 remaster to finish out the series, but the release date flew right under the radar for me. I love that you compared N64 footage next to the remaster. IDK if it's just me, but ND remasters always feel like how I remember the game (if that makes sense), until I actually try and replay the games on their original hardware. I always have the same reaction of "OMG how did I ever get through this?". Anyways, I love your content, keep up the good work.

Ah yes the N64 days, back when bringing Perfect Dark to a slideshow framerate felt cool rather than frustrating

It’s nice to see this one playing above 20 frames, I replayed it last year to completion and man performance was rough

loved how through you are with the comparison shame more people dont do this, I have now subbed to u based on this 1 video

8:27 - That's a liminal space if I ever saw one. N64 era had that early 3d where you would get huge blown out rooms like this that didn't match reality. Just weird you'd never see a restaurant be setup that open and scarce like that in real life. It looks like a 3d world, but its not ours. We can tell.

i LOVED this game as a kid and always found it severely underrated. cannot wait to get my hands on the remaster

Gosh I hope they do this with Turok evolution.

I honestly didn't realize Turok 3 existed. I played 1 & 2 back in the day when they eventually came to PC, but 3 never made the jump, so I guess I never cared to look into it. Once the trilogy goes on sale, I'll probably be picking it up for my Steam Deck. Thanks for the great recap!

nice to see all this hard work being appreciated again

I always felt like Turok 3 was a ps2 game trying to run on the N64 and seeing this footage in 60fps sort of confirms that for me. When I first played it I was very impressed with how they managed full mouth to voice synchronization in some scenes, something I've only ever seen Conker do on the N64 before.

This was one of the N64 games i had and loved back in the day. Looking forward to playing this tonight

I kind of want them to remaster turok rage wars because if they do this is what I want for it 1. Trial mode how it was on the n64 2. A full character roster 3. Create a profile mode how it was on the n64 4. Online Multi-player mode 5. All maps unlocked

ah, i remember playing torok 2. the poison crossbow, the minigun, the dark matter cube (black hole grenade), the nuke, and and the funniest weapon of all: the swarm bore launcher. watching each part of the enemy's limb explode off, one by one, until its just their head and torso left, then that explodes into a pool of overcooked ground beef. great times with my dad.

Holy shit, watching this reawakened memories I forgot I ever had. I knew this game looked familiar. I was just a bumbling 4 year old when I played this last time. 😂

If they ever actually release it. I’ve been waiting hours.

13:44 Chief Redfoot with the Forest Whitaker eyes. 😂

this and turok wars were my childhood!. Good video!

Thanks for the review, Gman, I love Turok series, and also I am now your new fan.

This is what I am doing this weekend. Love it. Thanks for the real, actual review...so many channels doing reviews of basic tech and acting like they're comprehensive.

Great review, @ggmanlives - loved this game as an early teenager. Hiring it locally here in NZ for the N64 was a trip. Loads of people wanted it for about a week, then no one wanted it.

Didnt even know this was being done until your vid popped up been hoping they would do 3 as I have never played it before but loved 1 &2 & it's remasters from nightdrive so will deffo be jumping into this soon.

I remember not really liking this as a kid but I think it's time for a revisit.

I would trust these guys to make a new Turok game.

I like it when remasters give you the option of flicking back and forth between legacy textures and new textures, like the Halo MCC

thanks nightdive for your great work!!! im gonna buy the turok bundle and btw nice outro

I played this game so much as a kid. That part where the guy climbs up the ladder in the sewer and gets ripped in half scared the shit out of me and made me put the game down for weeks though.

I AM TUROGGG

I grew up towards the end of the Nintendo 64 era and it's central to most of my childhood memories of time spent with friends and long summer holidays. Whether it was Mario 64, Extreme G (Wipeout clone), Diddy King Racing, Quake 2, Perfect Dark, Forsaken, Pilot Wings, Jet Force Gemini, Shadowman, Rogue Squadron, Lylat Wars (Starfox 64), Shadows of the Empire (flawed but still hugely enjoyable), Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Majora's Mask, Blast Corps, Wave Race, Banjo-Kazooie, or the sheer multiplayer joy of Goldeneye and Mario Kart. The N64 was a seminal and iconic console. This video is great timing because I've just downloaded the remastered Turok 2 which is probably my favourite N64 game. Turok 1 is average to good, Turok 2 is on Perfect Dark and Goldeneye level. The console generation was over by Turok 3 on N64 so not many have played it. I can't wait to get stuck in. Thanks Gman, really appreciate your content.

your videos are super great!!!! i love the lost arc and shredder joke XDDD super cool, dude!!!

Gen Z who watch this video: What's a Turok!?!?

Idk if you should support this game gman, it has dinosaurs dying and thats offensive to the dinosaur preservation community.

I played this when it first came out on N64, always felt it was really underrated. More aliens/monsters than dinosaurs, but it still feels and plays like Turok 2. Way more high-tech modern setting, feels like the levels in Quake 2 a bit. Love the compound level with the water boss, I never see footage of that.

What you have to remember is that they had to port this game from N64 where as Turok 1 & 2 had PC versions to work off of.

Man you are so good at this now, love your content as always!

It's so cool to see this game running at more than 10 frames per second. Also, for anybody who hasn't played the original, it was also impossible to dodge most enemy attacks. They would miss you by about 20 feet and you'd take damage anyways, so the whole game was pretty much trying to shoot everything before you got hit and just expecting to die a certain number of times to reach the end.

I loved Turok Rage wars and playing against the bots on the Multi-player style maps, with the cerebral bore and the bear traps and sentry turrets man I loved that

I remember waking up at like 5am on saturdays, lights off playing this for hours...just running around shooting things..I loved that arrows would stick out of people..Never beat it my brain was to ADD riddled to ever complete anything. Im def going to try the remaster out now.

18:38 Damnit, I was looking forward to multiplayer with the family like old times

9:37 The Firestorm Cannon from Turok 2 is awesome, but I love that they modeled it on the original Turok Dinosaur Hunter minigun

I grew up on the Turok stories, from 1 to evolution, and then that abomination in 2008. The stories from the first three alone were really good, and while I liked playing evolution, it didn't click as well as the first three. I already bought and played through the remasters of 1 and 2, and it's such a huge game changer when you modernize those controls. Someone in the comments said it's almost godlike going from the N64 to modern, and I couldn't agree more. They've fleshed out everything, runs very smooth, and I more than enjoy my time again with these classics. Can't wait to buy this one, and see more awesome work from NDS

Growing up I absolutely adored the first Turok game on N64 and was eventually gifted Turok Evolution - this led me to believe that it was the sequel to the first game. I wasn't actually aware that Turok 2 and 3 existed until Night Dive remastered the ACTUAL second game lmao. I love this studio and everything that they put their effort into. So with that being said, I'm all aboard the Turok Evolution remaster train. Please Night Dive!

Now i only need one more Turok to be remaster, the first i played.....Turok Evolution

Just finished the remaster and started it again. I had lots of fun. Back in the day I missed out on that.

I played the game when it came out on N64 and there was 4 things I remembered specifically. 1. The bad framerate 2. The city level 3. The opening cutscene 4. The great facial animations(for the time) Rented, beat, and moved on. It didn't leave a lasting impression on me like Turok 2 did. Having just finished the remaster earlier this morning my attitude hasn't changed. It starts strong but fizzles out roughly in the chapter 3 / 4 region. While the game itself may be average at best, the remaster attempt is top tier. There is a reason why nightdive is on my top list of developers. Bring on the next project.

*7:33* You should've also added Bricktop saying "Of course fucking Of Course!!"

I love that so many games are being preserved through remasters

Love the synthwave outro

Played all 3 Turoks on N64 recently and I have to say, 1+2 are pretty much playable today. Yeah, it's a little hard to get into if you are a spoled gamer of today, but I think most of the time it was between 20-30fps and maybe my old muscle memory helped (I'm old, you know!). But Turok 3 was a different beast, even in low-res the framerate was so bad that most of my shots didn't hit and I was out of ammo in many instances. So looking to play the remaster, first time I'm gonna finish part 3 since even my younger self wasn't able to play through back in the day :D

I played all three upon original release on N64 and I while I enjoyed the first one, parts 2 and 3 REALLY CLICKED with me! I played those through and through many times! Along with the multiplayer on I think it was part 3. Before they released the multiplayer split screen only fourth game. But man oh man 2 and 3 just rocked back then! Another amazing video mate!

Wow it is beautiful! I have the Turok 2 remaster, and definitely need to get this as well. I do wish it had multiplayer though 😢.

The multiplayer in this game gave me & my older brother so much content to mess around with in this game as kids since we had so little to play at the time. Yeah, we had Goldeneye, but we had a lot more fun with this game because of all the game modes, maps & the bots. Also, didn't realize this was out already. Need to get it. I grew up with Turok & still enjoyed this game in its own unique way even though singleplayer wise, I preferred 1 & 2. I wonder if all the fun glitches still work though.

Man, the hit feedback from older games just slaps way harder than most of what modern gaming has to offer. The snappy animations and gore work a whole lot better than health bars and hit markers. The former will always be a lot more immersive, too. The gameplay-focused kind of immersive. Not the "cinematic" one we keep getting as of late.

I played the Turok games to death back in the day the original Turock was amazing. Would love to see a full reboot of the game series with today's capabilities

I freakin loved these 3 games and played them countless times on the N64. I should get into playing the remasters too!

I had no idea this had launched already! Thanks for the tip on the Switch version, I'll sleep on that one for a bit and get the PC release first instead.

Remember playing this one on the N64 back in the day, was very excited when Nightdive announced it.

11:26 The Turok games had bad performance on the n64, but Perfect Dark takes the cake I think. I remember a couple years ago I moved into a house with a mate. It took a few days to get internet installed so I broke out my PS1 and N64 so we could play some couch multiplayer retro games. We had heaps of fun playing Turok 2 and 3 again after so long. They were all chuggy but we could play through it, I can say, with a straight face, that despite being rough as guts they're still playable. Then I decided we should play Perfect Dark as that was me and all my old primary school mates' favourite back in the day. We'd all bring our 64 controllers to whoevers house we were staying at and just play Perfect Dark against each other and bots until the sun went down and came back up again. So we tried it again and that game runs at like 15 frames per second so long as nothing is happening on screen. The minute you have even a single enemy on screen it becomes a powerpoint slide show, and god help you if you fire any explosive weapons. I can't believe I never noticed it as a kid, or at least wasn't bothered by it. We could only stomach a few matches before it was just too much lol.
