Slaying Dinosaurs in Turok, totally Unreal


Xboxyde got a handful of screenshots for the upcoming next gen Turok. The game is running on Unreal Engine 3 (then again, what isn't?) and looks awfully nice. The game pits players against humans, dinosaurs, and -- if previous iterations are anything to go by -- robot dinosaurs. The game supposedly mixes up GOW style cover and some intense melee combat as well. The game isn't coming out until 2007, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Anyone willing to place their confidence in this ailing franchise?

After catching a glimpse at E3, I'm actually interested in this game. It doesn't look half-bad.

Not really. The last turok was such a turd that I have a hard time seeing the point of a reboot on the franchise. That said I wish them the best and hope they totally prove me wrong.

Place my confidence in the Turok franchise? Hell no. However, I'll be willing to at least play a demo/rental of this game, the screenshots I've seen (and the fact that it's a different developer) have my curiosity piqued...

This looks amazing. The last Turok I played was for the N64. I'm really starting to think that games with impressive visuals can really pull in quite the crowd of buyers.

I think some of you guys should give this game a chance. Take a look at tomb raider. It made a good comeback.

Dinosaurs? Check. Guns? Check. Explosions? Check. Based on those three things theyve got me on the hook for at least a rental. I dont know if any of you know this, but dinosaurs are awesome. Since they are awesome, killing them is also awesome.

I know dinosaurs in a video game isnt a really super original idea, but Im just happy to have a shooter that isnt Zombies, Nazis or Aliens. I love killing Zombies, Nazis and Aliens, but its nice to kill something else every once in awhile.
