Our friends at Xboxygen have gotten a hold of some new shots from the upcoming Turok. In case you don't like to familiarize yourself with interesting franchises that slowly died, Turok is a shooter centered around dinosaurs. It's essentially one of those dream game ideas you had when you were a kid: "I want a game with big guns ... and DINOSAURS!" After a few sequels, Turok got pretty bad, but this entry looks to revitalize the series with new gen pizazz (and the Unreal Engine 3). The above shot showcases a dinosaur getting roasted by a very pretty flamethrower. The game definitely has the looks, now it just has to back things up with a little personality. Hit the "read" link for more shots.
Anyone have hope for this once great series?

I have nothing but hope.
Frankly, this game ought to do for Turok what Tomb Raider: Legend did for Tomb Raider. Not only fix all the things that have been wrong with the sequels, but fix the things that were wrong with the game conceptually from the start.
I played a lot of Turok, Turok 2, and Rage Wars on the N64, and while they were good games, they were always kind of buggy. The execution was never quite there, and you couldn't tell if it was a failure of the hardware or of the team doing the game.
The last attempt on the Xbox was a flat out disaster, where all those bad execution problems not only flared up again, but outdid all of the mistakes to date.
And that game NEVER looked good. Hopefully Unreal Engine 3 will give them a stable engine that won't have the problems of the ones they used in the past, and will let them get to work to fix the other problems that they never really addressed previously.

gears of dinosaurs?
I say this as a proud 360 owner: 360 games need some f-ing color.

that guy on the left looks like he was ripped straight out of GoW.
Never really known much about the Turok series, but I hope this game is good.

@3
There are a few pretty colorful games ... Viva Pinata, Just Cause, DOA 4, ...
But sometimes vibrant color doesn't work very well. Big hot pink and neon yellow dinosaurs might be cool, but its not turok-ish
