wow, these dinosaur animations are surely of a very good quality

but wtf, Turok was an arcade 3D shooter, why are they aiming for a Gears of War clone now? just look at the way that the dinosaur hunter stealth kills the reptiles... what a goddamn bummer

Because they need to reinvent Turok since the series sucks.

Arcade-styled first person shooters are seriously hard to pull off commercially, even on the PC. It's actually a niche market compared to the Gears of War-styled "story" shooters, large scale multiplayer shooters (UT,BF), and tactical shooters.

People are looking for more perceived sophistication in their products. I think on the PC/360 you can pull it off with a eastern Euro team because of the reduced cost for the niche market, but a top-flight US dev team making a straight run-and-gun shooter is probably a losing proposition.

Yeah, I and many others are tired of the clutter and generic stories and stealth elements in modern FPS games. Playing a game like Painkiller was such a breath of fresh air. Any games that plays like it is welcome.
