Resident Evil
Dinosaur Planet
Eternal Darkness (I think)
Turok Evolution

4 BRILLIANT games I REALLY want to get and play, and there all coming out in the same month!

How am I gonna be able to afford em all?

Well luckily I'm getting Resi free from SR and as for the others... I'm gonna have to try and get a job in a games company over the summer me'sa thinks!

This was just a bit of a rant as I ain't been in the forum much recently!

Faaaaarrr too much work! But almost finished it ALL! YAY!

What other games are people looking forward to?

There the main Gamecube games I'm wanting!

There's still a few PS2 games I want to get :-
GTA3
FFX
and you know what!

But I'm gonna have to hold off buying games for a bit I think. I've bought LOADS over the past few months, and I want to try and finish some of em!

Can't wait till I get home and can finish off Shenmue 2 on me Dreamcast, FF9 on Playstation, loads of games on my N64 that I've bought! And then there's my new Gamecube to play on! Tempted myself with that earlier, because I was writing the controls to a game based around the Gamecube pad, so I got my pad out and was playing with it so that I can get the control method right. I REALLY want to play on my Cube now!!!

Well that's enough of a rant. Back to work!

I have no interest in Eternal Darkness or Resident Evil but I am SOOO looking forward to Turok Evolution.

The first FPS to test the pad of the GameCube. And hopefully as good for its time as the first Turok was for its time.

Turok 2 was great but nothing on the first one. And since Evolution is going back to its roots, it should be absolutely stunning.

I can't wait for Starfox Adventures either. And Super Mario Sunshine is also down for a 29th September release on Play (the same day as Turok).

I love Nintendo!

TUROK!! That will be no filler! You never played the original Turok when it was first released did you? You plauyed it later when Goldeneye was released and when it was pretty dated. Turok 2 was never as good for its time as the original but Turok Evolution will be!



still, i want zelda OOT

I can't wait for this either. Ocarina of Time is my favourite game of all time! And when this is released, it will be my new favourite game of all time!

yeah, i did play turok, it was one of the games that my friend bought (along with SM64), although i never bought it because i didn't get my n64 until Banjo came out because i was spending all my time playing Super mario Allstars and Starwing on the SNES.
Turook Evolution doesn't look that great at the moment, the enemies look shabby, and it may suffer from being developed simultaneously with the PS2 and XBOX versions, as the PS2 will graphically drag it down.
the origianl turok had too many precision jumping sections for my liking.

Doubrt the PS2 will drag down graphics... they are developing it with GC hardware in mind aren't they? Well, I thought so anynhow, and that'd mean the PS2 version would get slightly shabbier graphics, while the GC would still have great graphics... good eh?

I'm pretty sure Turok Evolution is being primarily developed for the GameCube and then being ported over to X-Box and PS2. Either way, the GC version will be better than the PS2 version thanks to the 4 holes in the front of the machine.

Resident evil, Turok, Mario, Starfox, Eternal Darkness and Pikmin are far from shelf fillers.
