*THE N64 GAMES DID HAVE A MAP. I DIDN'T KNOW. NOW I DO. STOP REPEATING YOURSELVES.* Thank you for your time :)
I feel you
XD
And you call yourself a fan XD
I was just about to comment that there in fact HAS a map. Guess I wont do that now that youve seen the error of your ways. Also I prefer the terrifying robots of death.
What was good about the map in turok the dinosaur hunter was that you could use the arrow on the map that shows you where you are as a crosshair because it was right in the middle.
Dinosaurs and Guns, it was a simple combo that made me a happy kid.
Dino. Riders. You're welcome.
@@h.plovecat4307 you must be an 80s kid to remember those sweet toys.
*Cadillacs & Dinosaurs* by Capcom.
Great Arcade side-scrolling brawler.
I agree, same here!
Honestly some of my funnest memories and I was absolutely terrible at the games! Being that I was like only 5 when the first one came out.
I used to laugh my ass off at how enemies would be launched screaming into the sky when you blew them up even after they were dead as a kid. Life was simpler back then.
Frr explosive arrows all the way mane
@@cesar6479 "BRAAAH! OoMff. Awww..." [Rinse Repeat]
The things that used to be funny. Man, I wish I could go back to that. Now I see kids laughing at the dumbest shit and get irritated, before remembering it was exactly the same for me lol
"Seeds of Evil" is the pinnacle of the franchise. Never looked or played better after that.
I thought the level design was frustrating and that seems to be a pretty common complaint leveled at it even from long time fans. It was more impressive from a technical perspective but I honestly think Dinosaur Hunter held up a bit better in the end
F̡ac͜e͡l̨e̶ss͟ seeds of evil with forever be the best game of all time
@@faceless2302 Yes I remember back tracking a lot because I couldn't find switches to open doors or sometimes where to go next.
Turok Dinosaur Hunter is really the better game. Plays much better. Smoother, faster, easier to navigate.
I have so many great memories from this game, I was a kid on that time. Today I'm producing a game called Parallel. Hope to add some good content inspired from the good old days. Have a nice week. 🙏
The hardest thing I've ever done in my life was complete Turok Evolution.
Same here. I beat evolution in 2020 for the first time and all I was saying was FML 1000 times over and over again.
My brother and I beat it together he was playing on gamecube I was on ps2 and the gamecube runs so much better but has some longer load times 😂
@@timlangreck9685 Try the og Xbox version it is the best of the bunch in all aspects.
@@wisedragon3359 that's funny you say that I just found it at goodwill the other day complete and all for xbox !
@@timlangreck9685 The Xbox port has improved audio ioned out bugs tighter controls and overall better graphics and perfomance.
But at the same time it is still Turok Evolution so it does not change the fact
Evolution is A below average game. To fix it we need A remaster.
Turok Evolution was insane! I didn’t think anyone remembered it! Definitely hasn’t aged well in 2 decades however I have some fond memories of this game.
Me too. I have a lot of fond childhood memories with that game. I know it's not perfect and has flaws but I still love that game to pieces
This has probably been answered, buuuut:
-corridor: no doors on the sides, just 2 entry points at either end
-hallway: has numerous points of entry, both ends and atleast 1 on the side
Wow. Learn something new every day!
Not all heroes wear capes.
@@RedScotGaming can you make a retrospective on X-Men Mutant Academy trilogy
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil is my favorite game of the series.
Its the only one i've played of the series. I guess its my favorite as well.
Playing it now! Just finished River Of Souls. Took me 2 hours lol.
I love that game.
Mine too!
@@Wootguy238 BEWAREOBLIVIONISATHAND
I rewatch this video every now and then just to hear you boom out the words *GUNT, THE COLD ONE*
My Dad flippen loved turock evolution, it was the only game i've ever seen him play all the way through.
Love that game
The Alex Jones references killed me. DESTROY THE CHILD!
I know how is it that his insane rants actually fit with a turok game
CORRUPT THE MALL!
someone needs to put timestamps for the Alex Jones references, I came back to find the parts but I can't.
@@FaV1 39:13 and 47:04
Destroy the Child!
Turok: Evolution will _always_ hold a special place in my heart regardless of quality.
Same! Loved that game.. the war in the city is intense! And the T rex battles
Ok. Thought it was just me.
Multiplayer had kickass moments
Same, played the shit out if the multiplayer with my cousins
Same, ive played it so many times
17:26 "It's time to face...Shao Khan???"
I love the way he delivers that line.
49:05
Joseph: "No Danny, there is another child, your child. The child is your-- child. You're preg-- child"
Danny: "It happen before Bryan ("Joseph: the child...) died. He never knew that the--"
Joseph: "THE CHILD!"
Joseph: "He will be-- child *dies*"
I dont know why, but that bit had me laughing hard
Turok needs a glorious comeback. Or atleast get a Turok 3 remake.....
well boy are you in luck
Your wish has been granted.
Wish granted
I really want to see Turok Dinosaur Hunter be remade similarly to DOOM 2016 (though, as we learn in Eternal, it's not a remake but a sequel, but my point still stands).
Turok: Dude looks like an indian.
Turok 2: Charlie Sheen with a red headband.
I remember that movie.
@Tylenol PM Yep, Hot Shots Part Deux. Great stuff.
Charlie Sheen in hotshots basically
War....it's FANNNNTASTIC! RIP Miguel Ferrer
🤣
"a feeling of our forfathers..." "KKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY" xD 10/10
Turok: Rage Wars was my entire childhood. I absolutely adore that game and always will ❤️❤️❤️
Same! Not enough people talk about it these days. Such creative weapons too with the Inflator and emancipator.
I love Rage Wars. Imagine they brought out a remastered version with online multiplayer. That would be the tops.
@@ramonalavigne5508 I wish we'd get a remaster so very badly!
Xyos212 I always loved popping guys with the inflator. It felt so darn satisfying, and it made me laugh seeing the enemy models stretched out and so fat haha!
fucking chest bursters and the cerebral bore.... bane of my existance.
Yeah but unless you had the grey cartridge you couldn't play coop multi-player past a certain point :(
Turok was absolutely nuts. I loved it, and I wish we could get more from this awesome franchise
I remember finishing Evolution, wondering how to get the 'true' ending. Yes, that cliffhanger actually left me so confused, I was certain that there had to be more to it. I played it over and over, even on hardest difficulty without cheats to try and unlock an ending that never existed. All this was during a time of magazines, a time without internet for me. I loved the game, despite its lack of quality in comparison to the predecessors. However, that cliffhanger forever left me unsatisfied.
plot twist, turok evolution didnt have difficulty levels. you didnt play it, right?? 😐😐😐
@@akaunderdog4223 Really now? Been a long time then, memory must be faulty. Perhaps I confused that part with Turok 1 or 2. However, everything else I said pretty much happened that way. Played Evolution using cheats over and over, eventually ending up believing that it was preventing me from getting a better ending. Sadly, beating it without changed nothing.
@@TheShadowCookie wtf, I just got the notification...
Well, evolution was a difficult game. They even included stealth missions.. Even with cheats was a mess. Also very long game. But I have to admit it had variety regarding locations.
The dudes in Turok 2 with Roman armor and a pump shotty.
i really enjoyed turok evolution, i was so amazed by the sudden shift to the city war/siege and suddenly having human ai, i became obsessed with trying to save as many as them as possible. For all its wonkiness turok evolution was one of my favorite ps2 games back in the day.
Glad I'm not the only one.
me to but i played on a game cube
The sound of the cerebral bore still haunts me at times
This is one of the most comprehensive and thorough retrospectives ever.
I lost it with “destroy the child”😂😂😂
I've literally only ever played this game once (there was some school fair and someone rented out their N64 and charged like $1 to play for 10 min or something) but it was the first ever N64 game I played. As soon as I saw the thumbnail, I just knew this was it. I've literally spent the past 20 years of my life wishing I at least knew what that awesome game I played once was called! Thank-you!
Nice which n64 turok game was it? :)
Came back to watch this again now that Turok 3 is finally leaving the unfortunate exclusivity of N64 and is going to be actually playable for once
Me to ☺️
Crazy how much better Turok 2 looks over most of the later released titles.....
I love all the "the child" memes in turok 3 😂😂😂😂 I'm still dying from them. Especially the ending
I have a lot of nostalgia for Evolution but after seeing this video, I no longer feel bad about not being able to finish it without cheats.
In a weird way I consider the original Prey a true sequel to Turok
What is with FPS games with Native American protagonists getting the shaft later in life?
@Corvo@AZ Prey got rebooted in a way that's completely unrecognizable and we haven't seen another FPS Turok game since 2008.
@@HorseDe-luxe I know that, but regardless they intended it to be a reboot.
Jebediah Oldenheimer I know what you mean. Shit Arkane’s prey might as well have been called System Shock instead. Even though it also had nothing to do with that series it was waaaaaaaay closer to that game
@@Pin3C0ne I don't hate Arkane's "Prey" it looks like a good enough game, but it has no business bearing the name.
Dude, your editing is perfect, snappy, not introsive and just funny! Keep it up, really liked it!
Intrusive
"Should have evolved into cockatiels like the rest of them when you had the chance!"
In Turok 2, The River of Souls was my favorite. And as confusing as it was, the Lair of the Blind Ones was awesome.
I loved the narrator with her Neverending Story voice...I wanted 3 to be way different between characters, but it was one goes under a wall and the other climbs up it.
Kinda like Resident Evil 2. I hoped the REmake would change up the paths to not overlap and make it 2 different quests. And hoped they could be played simultaneously?!?
Wish not, want not
"Genuinely curious. How do these react to poison?" *explodes* "Oh."
This is my favorite review of all tin time. I've lost count to how often I've come back to this video.
It's a lifetime goal to beat these games.
Thank you.
This is amazing and so funny. Brought back a lot of old memories. I hope one day we see a new Turok and NightDive remaster Oblivion.
Rage wars was great back when multiplayer meant 4 friends had to actually come over and play on the same screen.
I loved it too tbh
Ya that one was fun, 4 players a long with bots.
The trials are still fun
“Stop screen peeking!”
17:14 “you didnt even USE the knife”
Lol subbed
I need the “You passed the first test” As a meme format
WTF....you raised the bar regarging gaming reviews! 😮😮😮 i cant even imagine the editing etc. instant Sub. thanks
YOU can't escape ME!!! I'll chase you to the ENDS OF THE EAAARRRTTH
I AM INVINCIBLE.... GET BACK HERE SHOCKER.... SHOCKEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!
Ah Spider-Man in the 90's .. The nostalgia
Pizza time.
Oh no, Dr. Connor's Class!
Ah Turok Evolution, the development of that game is one of the most interesting things I’ve ever read about. The game itself had many of its wildlife and other interesting things cut from it. (Even though a lot of it remains in the code) The interesting thing is I know a guy who owns a beta and from what I’ve seen of it and according to him it’s got more content than the finished game, which is strange. Also the Slegs voices are apparently normal (they have no gargling in their voices) This game personally has a lot of sentimental value to me being one of the first games I ever played, I can recognize it has some major problems. But I love it anyways, flaws and all.
It was the first game I got with my PS2. I've got the same sentimental feelings for it, even though I know it's a pretty bad game.
Was a lot of fun to go back to, even with it's problems.
I've actually toyed around with numerous prerelease versions of the game; the differences are pretty interesting.
Drahsid Oh! It’s you.
@@dethdad123 It took me longer than I'd like to admit for your alias to click. Howdy!
@@drahsid2 Is the beta better?
This game was the shit, one of the best during my childhood.
This whole video from start to finish was just fantastic! You had me dying with all the Half-Life references. I played a ton of Turok as a kid, although I mostly used the GameShark cause it was just too hard for me.
DooM, Turok - Alex Jones rants fit into the narrative of so many games it's not even funny...
It's hilarious, I love it.
He maybe be a bullshit artist and overall shit of crap but you have to admit the man is supremely entertaining
Tal-Set laughing like He-Man is killing me xD
This is frankly the oldest series I played and kept playing. It has a special place in my heart, and I hope beyond hope that we get more from the series in the future.
Also can someone please tie up the loose ends from Shadows of Oblivion dear GOD! I will dress as Joshua and hunt down Acclaim's old staff to get any info out of them personally if that is what it takes for an answer.
Im wearing very uncomfortable clothing too so you can tell hes serious
Wow. I figured i was the only one that saw the He-Man reference!😂
FUCKING SAME!!! God, I need closure on that ending so bad!!
The image is exactly why I clicked
You are the son of stone. Your mission is to find the acclaim Austin staff and get them to make a new Turok game.
I could've swore Turok - Dinosaur Hunter *Had* that same map system, I vividly remember it when I was younger and thinking " Wow, a game that actually as a map I don't have to buy at a store. "
it has a map system for sure...the L button
The Turok games were amazing, especially the first two. It had almost everything a kid could want in them. Dinosaurs, robots, cyborgs, aliens, it was fucking awesome! I hope they bring back Turok to it’s former glory.
Nightdive Studios remastering Turok Dinosaur Hunter and Turok Seeds of Evil is definitely a good step in the right direction towards this goal :) .
im still playing the og turok here and there.. its so good strafe run and gun is fun. I also like how the ultimate weapon is just a nuke on a stick
Bro im dying with nostalgia and laughter. I miss these series so much and the edits. Lol "The CHILD"
18:56 Song is "Welcome to the house" of fun, by Madness.
tanks
Joshua: "You're too loud."
Also Joshua: **shoots LOUD-ASS gun**
The map overlay was in the original n64 version. I used it all the time.
Man, i remember putting Turok Evolution on my ps2 and just staring at that title screen just viving to that sick orchestra.
I'd like to say that Adon and Danielle were really cool and lovely characters
I'd love to see a remake of the series
*Tal'Set has died*
"You passed the first test!"
The N64 version of the game also had a map
Shhhhh, no one knows the N64 has an L button on its controller.
Yes it did played the hell out of the N64 game back in the day
I'm glad someone else said something lol
@@checkerknights4 Same here. I always loved using the cursor for your location as my crosshair :D. But I remember that the dark area in the first level wouldn't appear on the map on the N64 version.
drove me nuts everytime he claimed that
Rage Wars was a super fun multiplayer game with friends!
Just having such reverence for this series, you've got a sub, sir. Your humor and presentation are bonuses. Keep doing it right, man.
One of my favorite things from Turok:Evolution is that you can shoot soldiers with a poison arrow in the stomach and they’ll start throwing up. Literally the #1 thing I remember from that game
Big cookie for whoever counts my screeching cameos.
Yeah nobody cares enough to do that dude
@@tylersmith9868 Oh wow, an arsehole in the comment section, how original.
I imagine you were there to nut over the keys and were there for turok 3?
@@goldskarr that is essentially it. If you hear screeching in one of Stevens videos chances are its me
@@bendeigidRoMandLoL well, every time a key was found I laughed hysterically so thanks for that.
I'd love a Turok game that was set in modern day, in the Oregon territory and just one day dinosaurs show up and Turok just has to escape a small town Tremors style.
My dad got me Turok: son of stone as a young lad, and I feel in love with it, loved it from the violence, the dinosaurs and turok himself. I went online to find out more about it and when I found out about the whole franchise from the books, video games and carton I loved it all.
One of my most loved things when i played some of the Turok games is the gruesome enemy deaths
This would've been killer with a more modern engine.
The remasters are beast on pc. Just get some modes to smooth out textures and shit and it would be god tier
@@user-nb8yt2il2r Classic Turok games with updated graphics, models, and sound effects could be a sight to behold.
@@user-nb8yt2il2r mods
I think those "army guys" are identified as Poachers in lore. I'm not sure though.
yep, they are.
My dad used to put apl house plants around me while I played on n64 so I felt like I was In a jungle. What a dad and some great memories there. Loved turok
My U.S. Infantry Marine little brother took his life last year and we played Turok a lot around its release. I would often play it in the morning before school while we watched cartoons on a second tv, both small tubes. Pokémon and what-not. Miss him a lot, we slayed the game later in life but yeah.
Happy to see another of these retrospectives. They're always fun to watch and learn about series I've never played is really cool. Well done man.
Tbh I'm not surprised I was actually waiting for this
You brought back my youth! This game was so much fun... Swimming! I remember the music and the sound! Thank you.
This is one video I repeated come back and watch through at least once a year. Your presentation and cadence here are such a pleasure.
My entire experience with turok is a streamer slowly taking off his rose tented glasses to dislike turok 2 and finding this random turok video. Good video
“A millennia of evolution”, in evolutionary terms, is like a microsecond of baking, in cake baking terms. Lol.
r/iamverysmart
Well, let’s do the calcs. The first life appeared on Earth at least 3.77 billion years ago. Since then, evolution has been constantly working. A millennia / 3.77 billion = 2.65x10^-7, or 1/3,770,000.
Now for baking. The usual time to bake a cake is under an hour, but I’ll round up. 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds. 3,600 / 3,770,000 = 9.55x10^-4 seconds, or basically a millisecond.
So a millennia in evolutionary terms is almost quite literally a millisecond in baking terms.

@@guilhermedalmolinpereira7812 Who is using Plebbit lingo outside the containment site? It ain't me.
gonna say im having the major nostalgia feels watching this , the editing and clips and music was on point
Cool video. I was too terrified of this game to play it, so your in-depth discussions satisfied my curiosity I have had for years.
Turok Rage Wars was a staple party game when I was a kid alongside Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart, and Ridge Racer. The extra unlockable characters, missions, 2 player co-op (that was literally impossible to beat unless you had a grey cart), and multitude of maps and modes made it a great addition to the library back in the day. That being said, I don't think I would pick it up again if there were a re-release.
And the next game in the series will be an open-world FPS. Where you make your own character in character creation. And hunt dinosaurs and other creatures, using materials to craft and upgrade weapons. And/or sell or trade marks for better gear. Turok Dino Headhunter. After Turok 2008. That actually sounds somewhat decent. On paper.
So Monster Hunter with more guns.
Ark Survival Evolved is the closest thing we have to what you described, unfortunately it’s run by shitty devs.
Lair of the Blind Ones is easily my favorite level. One of the most atmospheric fps maps ever made, imo. It's intentionally meant to be claustrophobic, maze-like and confusing. It's like the movie "the decent" in video game form. That being said, I totally get why some people would hate it.
This is such a good video, Thanks for the hard work.
Turok 2 was an amazing game and imo easily one of the best singleplayer shooters of all time.
Preach it brother
True !
I loved this game as a kid. I still remember the master cheat... Had to get that Cerebral Bore. And don’t even get me started on the Nuke.
of course...its not even up for debate...its one of the greatest games ever made....eveyone knows that by now...it's a masterpiece for the ages...T2 isnt perfect...but it doesnt have to be...all it has to be is TOTALLY BADASS in almost every concievable way..which it is
"I have to praise the map system added in this rerelease", wait, what? There was a map too in the original N64 edition of the game, and it worked just the same
thank you, i tought it was just me, if i remember right the button to display the map was the left bumper on the n64 controller
I wanted to check it myself but I couldn't find the cable for my N64, but I'm pretty sure you're correct here
Aye, I used it as such quite often
That worm section with the voice was the cake for me!
Hope to see some new retrospectives from you this year! Happy New Year, this is one of my most watched videos this last year. Love your stuff!
59:55 He passed the first test by showing his bravery and willingness to help others. That's presumably why the seer refused to help the villagers, to push Turok into making a decision about the villager's fate.
Agreed, if you apply the context of his previous line “it is not my place to decide whether men live or die”, he’s telling Talset, it’s not MY place, it’s YOUR place. You decide whether they live or die. And as you say, since Talset chooses to help them, he “passed the test”
Would love to see these turok stories recreated in modern games. No not like 2008, I means a brand new from scratch remake that follows the originals. So much potential that was never properly tapped
LOL, there is some hilarious editing here
OMG, love this!!! thank you for all you did and endured!!
I remember seeing Turok 3 at a local video store way back, it was on sale and there was only one copy sitting out in a security case on an endcap. I didn't have the money for it but I told a friend about it the next day and as soon as school was out he scooted over there to get it and it was gone. He thought I made it up for years. I never saw another physical copy of it again.
28:30
Level design and map layout at its finest.
10:48 NEEEEEERD
This is great. It's always fun looking at inaccurate depiction of prehistoric creatures.
ALl the lil falling screams you put into this vid makes the entire thing addicting to watch. My Grandpa was in LOVE with this game series and you did this thing so damn well.
Turok was awesome when it came out. Every other shooter out at the time was a corridor game, and Turok introduced the outdoor jungle environments. That alone was the big feature that made me love it, not to mention it's fun as hell.
yes sir
Turok was ahead of its time. Character designs that made it first before many other movies implemented them.
As a fan of the games the the comics and tv series I wish some studio would buy the rights to Turok and give us a full on 2020 gen game
tv series?...there is NO tv series....only an animated film...which kicks major ass
@@celeste1324 in Australia they released it in parts like 10min episodes
You make me laugh please continue to make these videos they are an absolute blast to listen while I work
This was great ! Love your work! I'm 28 and I remember how awesome this game was
God damn it man where's my next retrospective?! You've got my sub from the sheer quality of your work and fantastic method of approaching subjects and games but it's been a year! I need moar! Also more dino crisis. But still more.
This video was freaking hilarious and I totally agree with all of it, thanks for putting it together!
I remember the xmas game I was most hyped for as a kid was turok 2. Partly because my mom got me the strategy guide and gave it to me well before christmas (had to wait til Xmas to play the game tho). Having so much info about the game before being able to play it just increased my hype. Something I think modern gamers can relate to
