"Turok Evolution"

So whose getting this next week ? :-) I'll be getting it and from what I've seen it looks good so far. The E3 DVD shows some nice footage of it and whats in the game. That swarm bore weapon looks pretty tasty - having played the other games I have fond memories who I killed with the old version of that weapon. ;-)

Thing is, I keep thinking how good it would have been if a little extra was included in the game. What I would have loved to have seen is a dinosaur hunting mode - no cyborgs or evil bad guys, just a mode where you can sit back, hunt and even take trophies (skulls or claws maybe ?)
The idea of the bushes and stuff moving and making noise is great, so a hunting mode could be excellent. :-)

I know you can go around killing normal dinosaurs in Evolution, but this would be even better as far as the hunting goes. Maybe even a Co-Op mode where 2 players can have a screen each or something and just roam around trying to kill a bigger T-Rex than they've bagged before.
Thats where the trophies could come in - you could display your biggest kills of each breed just like you get records in fishing games and stuff.

I think it'd add some longevity - especially when things can turn around and your soon having to leg it from a pack of raptors. ;-)

It won't just be the graphics. There'll be plenty of bugs ironed too - possibly including AI tweaks.

Either way, it'll still be no Halo, but the Gamecube isn't so rich in FPS at the moment.

Although TS2 is said to be coming along nicely...

I must admit I've totally lost interest in Turok - which is unusual for me.
If a game is decent (which Turok is), I normally finish it, but I just think it's missing something - there's no spark.
Turok 1 & 2 had a mysterious "out-there" vibe.
This reminds of Turok 3 - made just for the sake of making money.
I can't see myself continuing to play it.
All I can say is roll on Blinx, Splinter Cell, Hitman 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Crazy Taxi 3, and the like.

Turok isn't a wonderful game no matter how much patching up is done. It could have graphics 3 times better and I'd still feel theres stuff missing about the game.

I think that Turok is more or less worth me buying (besides, the late Gamecube version will be mostly patched up), and if it doesn't quite deliver, there's always Timesplitters 2...

Yeah ive played loads of multi-player 4 way games. One of the local independant games shops had a compotion 1 day before the release of the game. We had a huge projector screen up. It was a tournement and the winner recieved a copy of the game a day early. Guess who won.!!?? YEpp aahhh! i am please that i didnt have to pay for it at 34.99 cos i dont think it was quite worth that much, but seeing that i got it for free i was happy. The multiplay is pretty good, Though it doesnt really touch halo. Its quite simular. It has quite a few multiplayer options like CTF and such.

I reakon you should rent it first. Play the single player and the multiplayer, and then.. only then make the purchase.

Well I sat down and just finished the rest of Turok. Its an ok game, but I don't think I'll keep it. The multiplayer seems promising as theres no radar to find other players and its pretty easy to hide in jungle areas. But the multiplayer isn't really enough to warrant me keeping the game.
So it'll be going back for Conflict Desert Storm on friday.

Has any tried a proper round of multiplayer yet?

That guy must have had a good time tho for a while, games companies and other companies were giving him all this free stuff to while away the days. if i was him i would have just knicked the tvs and game consoles he was given.

BORED!!!!!

Do you need the shotgun, cos i missed it once, and it was the only i managed to get off the bridge, then there was soo many enemies at clse range and it would have done nicely i reakon. and the pistol is s**t. I always end up making silouetes around the enemies with bullets. HHMMM ill give it a go in an hour or so.

Cheers anyway.
