Tempers flare in today's video! This episode is mostly just traversing from point A to point B, but we do meet back up with Whiskey Company. What's left of them, anyway. :X 09: Heroes End Fish Noise posted:118 combined. Is the game trying to put the brakes on its own knife train?

For how poorly the original Turok N64 games have aged, I would've never imagined that they would evolve to become something so stunningly mediocre!

Turok Remastered is a god-send and revitalized the original game. It's been the most fun I've had playing an FPS in a long while. It feels like the breath of fresh air Serious Sam was when it was first released. That said, though, yeah, the actual N64 version didn't age well. I look forward to the Turok 2 Remaster.

I'm really impressed that the game had such a solid voice talent but still managed to make that as mediocre as possible. That said, Gregory Cruz does a good job of voicing Turok, even though it is mostly in a stoic monotone. I just find it weirdly soothing somehow.

Now that I think about it, I've seen the minigun deploying into a turret in another game before. Possibly Shadowgrounds? I actually WOULD like to see co-op in this just for the knifekill racing. If 2013 was the Year of the Bow, then Warframe goes on the list. Admittedly, the bow started out as a kinda-poo poo novelty there, but now it even has a character who's basically the cover of Robin Hood Men In Tights. Episode: 3 compsognathus, 17 large raptors, 2 dogasaurus Total: 24 small raptors, 68 large raptors, 12 Helghast, 18 dogasaurus, 7 compsognathus, 10 baby rex, 1 adult rex 140 combined.

In between that and how familiar things are in this, I can only conclude that Turok is in fact Shoot Man, The FPS Protagonist. Being intercepted off of a transport to a military prison to be recruited into a black ops team, ditching the team for their actions, getting assigned to a marine company that's hunting down that team, getting shot down and repeatedly working alongside a guy who hates him because of that black ops team while everyone else dies and a former bow buddy from that team stalks him and dinosaurs and scorpions and spidertanks and scorpion fart bioweapons and volcanoes and giant mosquito things... for Turok, this is Tuesday. I must commend whichever twisted genius put together this scene, however:  That loving mouse cursor Episode: 1 Helghast, 7 large raptors -not counting the regularly knifed one Total: 24 small raptors, 75 large raptors, 13 Helghast, 18 dogasaurus, 7 compsognathus, 10 baby rex, 1 adult rex 148 combined.

I especially like the complete lack of urgency that still somehow drives the plot forward. Like, in every cutscene Whiskey Company is basically just moseying along. "Gotta go here to get a comms link," "gotta go here to rendezvous with another member of the team," "oh look the redshirt just got shot to death, that's too bad." Stuff just happens and there's no effect on the team. My favorite? "Oh look, a volcano is erupting. Nah, don't worry, that lava isn't going anywhere. Better just march on up to the [GENERIC SCIENCE FACILITY]." Maybe my memories of the original Turok64 are blinded by nostalgia, however I remember there being some really insane, fun weapons. That game had personality, man. (don't correct me on this, I like my warm blanket of ignorance) DJ Fuckboy Supreme fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Mar 20, 2016 |

(don't correct me on this, I like my warm blanket of ignorance) Nah, I'd agree completely, and I just played them recently. It's sad to see the series fall this far into mediocraty. I watched that last video and other than the nerve gas demonstration I can't remember a single notable thing that happened in it.

(don't correct me on this, I like my warm blanket of ignorance) No, that game is fun. Also, thanks to the remaster, it still holds up today. I've said it before, but Turok Remastered is the best FPS I've played in several years. In fact, I've been recording the Remaster to throw in the Casual LP thread just to show it off.

In today's video, I cut an hour's worth of footage into 20 minutes of somewhat-competent gameplay. Also Turok shoots a helicopter with a rocket until it dies.

Perhaps if this game had a dinosaur who is also a doctor and a recurring nemesis? Also if the Helghast masks come off and they turn out to be dinosaurs. Regular shaped dinosaurs, even, not people shaped. And nobody questions it. I appreciate how the minigun turret's reticle implies a huge spread, but in practice it's almost laser accurate. Episode: aaaallllmost 1 Helghast but then your allies showed up and yeah Total: 24 small raptors, 75 large raptors, 13 Helghast, 18 dogasaurus, 7 compsognathus, 10 baby rex, 1 adult rex 148 combined, still.

Thanks for the LP Phenwah. With any luck the next you tackle will have personality, though Turok sets a really low bar. to be fair to Turok, the existence of dinosaurs doesn't really need to be explained, since it's not Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, it's just Turok: Extreme Mediocrity Edition DJ Fuckboy Supreme fucked around with this message at 20:32 on Mar 26, 2016 |

And so we have to go back cultural dickery by grunge-man first saying "I pulled you out of the gutter by teaching you about your heritage" to "you were lesser because you didn't mindlessly follow orders of your superiors as is the way of the WHITE GUY". What the gently caress is wrong with video games and using first Americans? Why couldn't you just keep Turok as just the best of the Space Marines and the one who makes it to the end to kill Bad Guy for being Bad Guy with no attempt at a history between the two as who gives a gently caress in a bog standard shooter?

I notice that the t-rex we fought had a distinctive scar over its eye. Is it supposed to have been the same one following us throughout the game? Because if so, I didn't catch that at all.

This video contains the bulk of Turok's in-game cutscenes. Although much of the narrative experience is relayed through mid-mission dialogue, I played it very fast-and-loose when creating this reel, only including moments where camera control was actually wrestled away from the player-character, Turok. Don't worry, you're not missing much. Theater Mode Fish Noise posted:Episode: 6 large raptors, 1 Kane, 1 same adult rex from before

Dang what a mediocre, unremarkable game. I know Gears of War was popular, but it always felt very more of the same to me, and this game felt even more so.

 VIDEOS 00: Attract Mode 01: Part 1 02: Part 2 03: Part 3 04: Part 4 05: Part 5 EX: Theater Mode Jurassic: The Hunted is a 2009 first-person shooter developed for sixth- and seventh-generation consoles by Cauldron (Soldier of Fortune: Payback, Gene Troopers) and published by Activision (Fast & Furious: Showdown, Gun). In it, players assume the role of Dylan Craig, a survival expert working with a team of researchers to investigate an S.O.S. transmission from the Bermuda Triangle, where an expedition disappeared thirty years prior. Also, it's got dinosaurs in it. DISCLAIMER: Jurassic: The Hunted is presented entirely without the aid of subtitles. My comrades and I did our best to avoid talking over important dialogue, but there's a fair amount of mid-mission chatter that we didn't see coming. Once the LP is finished, I'll be uploading a "Theater Mode" video with all of the cutscenes strung together. I'm Phenwah, joined as always by Lobst and DemoWeasel. Welcome to Jurassic: The Hunted!

I looker it up, and apparently Cauldron was a Slovakian dev team. They did some crap back in the lates 90s/early 00s, after which they started doing mostly History Channel and Cabela's games. They were bought out in 2015 and everybody there was sent to work on DayZ. e: I should watch to the end of the video before posting

For dinosaur games, are we counting chickens as some sort of intensely stupid miniature T-rex? Because if so, there's always gif-generating goon game Signs of Life.

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis was a good dinosaur game, at least for its time. The plot was basically "what if the first movie had gone right", and then it's a park building/tycoon game.
