Title: Turok still sucks
Post by: Smooth Groove on January 19, 2008, 02:21:21 AM
Anyone else tried the crap demo?

Poor Bishop.  :lol

I never really bought into this game being good. Turok has been awful for a long time, and what do we know about the developers of this game? Nothing. Other than Bishop's shameless promotion of it every chance he gets, I don't know why people were so hyped for it. Although I haven't really followed every detail of it's development, so maybe it looked promising at one point. And I still haven't played the demo either, but I heard so it sucked so I probably won't bother. Got enough good FPSs to play through at the moment without playing all the sucky ones too.

you would think there would be no way in hell that you could fuck up a game which features shooting dinosaurs which are trying to eat you, but, well, there it is.

They didn't even do a good job of trying to fool us with a good demo.  Way to kill off any excitement by starting off in a dark cave where you try to find the way out for 15 mins because you can't see shit.

yet another generic fps with a twist -- dinos.  played the ps3 demo tonight and was not even remotely impressed.  the controls feel too loose and graphically unimpressive. major props to the virals for making this game seem like it was going to be some reinvention of the franchise. too bad the demo fucked up all that hard work.

I just have a bad feeling about the new Turok.  I mean squad mechanics?  stealth kills?  That's not the Turok I know.

There better be:

a) those little golden triangles you pick up to gain health that make that awesome noise

b) a grenade launcher

c) portals to the otherworld

In the sense that there would be no more entries in the series. I thought Evolution's reception was proof enough that nobody cared about the franchise anymore. Apparently, I was wrong.

My Lord, I have the Ps3 demo, and now that I see the Xbox demo, what the fuck? Looks like a washed out PC game with a poor vid card on the PS3. At first I thought it was your cable, but theeeeeeeeeeen. It became clear.

Still though, the game itself was trash.

I wonder why :rofl

IW has done it.
My studio pulled it off.
So has Epic.

At some point, you have to remove the blinkers and look between the lines at what's not being said. If it's excuse-making to cover up the lack of portability in your engine, so be it. But when other studios can get the job done, those words ring hollow.

Sony's architecture may be more difficult to work with in comparison to the 360 and PC, but it has provided a wonderful litmus test in separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to coding.

No excuses.

You do realize that the demo was put together months before optimizations on the finished product, right? Like it or not, there are going to be differences in multiplatform titles, and getting an equivalent-playing UE3 game up and running on the PS3 takes a lot of effort.
