Getting absurdly lost while killing dinos with possibly the most fun arsenal of weapons assembled in history: the game

I always liked Turok 2 but it hits it's tedious parts a bit quickly. I think turok 1 was a little more approachable. Good luck OP

I can't go back to fuzzy super duper low res n64 graphics so I would have to do it on PC somehow EVEN if it's emulation.

Not OP, but why exactly is that a bad thing?. What does he even mean by that?. Does he have a console that can display higher than standard resolution?.

PC version can run at 60fps in 1080p

>>3540645

Shit is moving like super fast. Won't enemies be coming at you faster?. It is like a Goldeneye Turbo mode. Do people actually want to play through like that?.

>>3540654

What the fuck are you talking about? Everything looks normal

What the fuck are you talking about you stupid fucking faggot?. Calm the fuck down. Goddamn. Alright, It looks normal I got confused for a fucking second you dumb faggot. Sorry faggot.

>exiting edgy teenager mode

OH shit I remember playing that all the time, and being the only kid with that super kickass game and all of my friends being jelous to the tenth degree. I guess I shouldn't have rubbed it in the face all the time. It was an inside joke that I got to choose what to do sometimes because I owned Turok 2.

Then with the gameshark there was a way to play the game in co-op sort of way, it crashed at some part, but besides that, you could start a multi-player game then transfer it to single player.

This included monkey mode.

You really have a nice setup for your N64 OP, do not fall for the muh steady FPS meme, back in the day I didnt give a shit about that, game is fun as hell.

Also if you have an hour free of your precious time check this comparison video

RGB and a Broadcast professional monitor he can play the game in its purest picture quality and increased resolution with the expanssion pack, however this causes more slowdowns , nothing gaming braking

>>3540645
Win 10 fag here, does this even run in my shitty OS
?

>>3540640
It's the same resolution, the picture is just extremely more crisp. Composite cables give a blurry image and the n64 has bilinear filtering which makes everything more blurry. Having RCA (the gold standard of analog signals) with a Sony BVM (the gold standard of crt displays) gives the best possible picture display possible. Some people like staying with crt displays for the authenticity. Take a peek inside the crt these and you'll see the madness

Wait for the remastered version.

I know that it fails as a sequel, but it deserves way more love than what it gets.

>>3540902

Do not fall for his lies. Framerates have always mattered, and being ignorant as a kid is no excuse for ignorance at your age.

>>3540645
Problem I had was it running much faster than 60fps.

Buy playing with a mouse at a decent framerate is absolutely the way to go. Its honestly hard to even aim on the N64 because it is so sluggish.

Turok 1 on the 64 runs much better.

>>3541629

1 and 2 were announced at the same time, and i haven't found a peep about the second game since.

Did the remaster of the first game really sell well enough to warrant completing the remaster of 2? Nobody I know has the thing and steamspy says it only sold 30k.

>>3541884
Just use vsync.

Do the games hold up to modern scrutiny?

The only experience I have with Turok is with the first game. I remember playing it on a friends N64 and I remember being able to get past the first level no problem, but I could never find all of the runes in level 2 or 3. I then cheated to the end of the game and fought the alien boss with every weapon, which was pretty cool. And that's about all the memories I ever had of 1. I never even touched 2.

I ask again, do the games hold up to modern scrutiny? There's an HD remake of 1 on Steam but it's $20, so...........

>>3541903
Kind of? The animations and weapons are great, but the level design loses its charm after about the third one. They progressively get more generic and tedious..

>>3541882
> PC fag detected

more than one million carts sold, these people disagree with you. People just exagerated over framerates that are lower than 60, even newer games today suffers some drops even in minor situations, nothing gaming braking.

I'm tired of this retards that keeping using tolls to measure framerates and get paranoia and spend hours tweaking drivers and in game setting in computers to get the desirable playable frame rate they want. Fuck That!

Also the PC por of Turok 2 received average and mixed scores.

Enjoy your butchered soundtrack and super fast 120 FPS

>>3541884
> I cant play using controller because I sucks at aiming

I can headshot enemys easily with auto aim OFF, just check your analog condition, after beating Turok 1 you get really good at moving and aiming with the superior best controller ever made

>>3541864
how is it comparable to 2?
First person I see liking this one, I've always seen people blabering tons of shit about this game

>>3542529
Basically is like if the N64 got a half life port.
In a good way tho.
If you want to get in depth, this guy has a review I agreee with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvuSAinsAI4

>>3541864
3 is a great game, multiplayer isn't as good as the previous 2 but it has a super fun campaign. Biggest flaw is that it's called Turok.

>>3544236
i played 3 recently and half-life was the first thing to cross my mind, the contrast to 1 is so stark.

The first boss was at least a fun idea, but up to now I'm not feeling it. How far in do I have to go?

>>3544236
Holy Shit this is almos Ps2 level graphics!

>>3544579
you better believe it

>>3544580
Impressive, too Bad devs could Only push the hardware like this in the end of console lifespan

>>3540926

you could try.

N64 Pros: better music, comfy retro vibe
N64 Cons: sluggish controls are unresponsive at times, framerate can drag in the heat of battle

PC Pros: best resolution, better framerate
PC Cons: gimped music

either way you decide you're gonna have a lot of fun with this one, one of the most underappreciated gems in the FPS genre

>>3545951
>N64 Pros: better music
when will people stop posting this bullshit?

N64 music sounds like through a can and string. Repeating notes (like in Port of Adia) sound as if a computer froze.

PC version is the proper sounding version, richer and clearer than N64

>one of the most underappreciated gems in the FPS genre
it's not underappreciated

>>3544554
Take it another level, it differs quite a bit.

>Turok on the catalog

FUCK YOU OP, I'M TAKING OVER THIS THREAD.

https://mega.co.nz/#F!rkx3WbZC!elr6cn_6PQahPNJFzxutow

All the Turok music as well as the PC ports of DH, 2 and Evolution with working everything except for Evolution which is a bitch to run.

NOW GO FRAG SOME FUCKING DINOSAURS YOU MAGGOTS AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU HAVE BEATEN ALL TUROK GAMES WITHOUT DYING AND WITHOUT CHEATS

>>3546138
Its all yours , now excuse me I have some Dino Slaughter to do.

>>3540456
I'll tell you the best version

>>3540645
This looks very good, it hasn't aged at all.

>>3542529
>how is it comparable to 2?
It's not.

>>3546375
weapons and enemies are good

levels were and still are crap, too blocky

>>3546257
What is this?

A picture for compies?

I'm a huge Turok fan but I've entertained the idea of selling T2 64 as it is absolute trash.

I played the shit out of T1 and T2 blew me away (I'm still impressed by the Joshua model in cutscenes, looks better than next gen) but years later going back T2 was a joke. Hi-res mode shouldn't even be entertained and lo-res mode still suffers, Oblivion gates become powerpoint presentations.
The gouraud shading cheat will give you maybe 5fps extra at the cost of the game looking shit, turning off the music probably helps too but c'mon...Port of Adia..

I got the PC version for 2 quid and never looked back. Hopefully the guys behind the T1 remake (Steam) deliver the goods with T2 too.

For the record, I play N64 erry day and plenty of games get choppy; GoldenEye's explosives, Body Harvest during large battles, even Tetrisphere suffers- but Turok 2 is a different beast altogether. The PC version makes the N64 ver obsolete. The best thing I can say about it is the black cartridge and matte/sheen scale details on the box are slick as fuck.

>>3547352
Its a page of the comic book, Turok actually is as old as Tex comics

>>3548461
Is that comic (the one >>3546257 here) scanned?

I don't recall ever seeing that page anywhere in the scans I have.

>>3548467

It's inside the manual for Turok 64 friend.

>>3549250
arigatou senpai, have this as a token of gratitude.

>>3546056

You can play the different tracks for yourself on youtube side by side and see the difference. Its quite obvious the n64 tracks are better. PC port is better in most respects but claiming it has the better music of the two is just dumb IMO

What happened to the old Turok from 1

>>3541891
Proud owner of one.

>>3551437
>You can play the different tracks for yourself on youtube side by side and see the difference.
exactly, and see/hear that the PC version is superior
also the fact that PC has no sound or memory constraints (cartridges lol) so soundtracks don't have to be limited to canned game effects and instead use proper audio recordings

>>3551735
Don't get upset about personal preferences anon.

>>3540456
PC version all the way, if you manage to run it correctly and with CD audio.

>>3551735
>refusing to accept other peoples opinions

The N64 music is a sequenced remix and it sounds pretty good although not the same as CD. I can understand why some people would like it more.

>>3551781
it's not a preference or opinion, it's fact that PC has better sound quality

>>3551781
>>3551786
>calling PC music 'gimped' when it's objectively higher quality
>hurr it's just opinion :^)
nintendrones, everyone

>>3551787
>>3551791

Sameposting aside, while PC has higher fidelity sound, the composition is literally different on N64 since it's a remix.

Some people may prefer the remix. Why is this so hard for mustards to understand?

>>3551806
>the composition is literally different on N64 since it's a remix
got a source for that?

>>3551809

I've never seen that game look so good before!

Nice to see them drop by.

BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS THE LEVEL EDITOR FOR TUROK 1?

Obligatory best song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF7YZIyPtwc

>>3554618
In legal hell. Sadly, nothing can be done about it at this point.

>>3554917
So, I take it a level editor for T2 is also out of the question too.

>>3554954
We'll see. But I can't promise miracles.

I love you Kaiser, I sent you fanmail once just thanking you for your work on Doom 64 EX. You're the man.

first level is an hour long labryinth and it only gets worse from there seriously WTF? Turok 1 didn't have that shit

>>3555504
thats what I loved about it famalan

Also your memory must be fucked, Turok 1 level design was also confusing at fuck at times and the spaces were huge.

>>3555504
Dont you mean the 2nd level Catacombs? Mabe thatsbthe one

>>3555006
Good, but guess I shouldn't hold my breath for it.

Love your work regardless.

>>3540456
saved

>>3555504

if you don't like old school corridor crawling and key hunting then turok probably isn't for you

>>3557413
I like turok 1 just fine. Turok 2 is shit

>>3557415

they are incredibly similar in gameplay, the only thing 2 did differently was add objectives. in terms of level design there's little to differentiate them other than 2 having more variety in locales

>>3542520

Aside from the fact that the PC gaming marketplace was a fraction of the N64's installed base, PC Turok 2 didn't sell very well compared to the N64 version because it came out months later than the N64 version, and got very little promotion and distribution. It didn't help that Half-Life had just come out, and the Quake 3 Arena demo was a month or two away.

Framerates have always mattered, no matter what game-playing device you had. I can sit down and play something like Mario 64 right fuckin' now because it held a steady 30 most of the time. Zelda....kind of rough with a steady 20 but I can manage. Goldeneye? Perfect Dark? Turok 2? Forget about it.

PC version is pretty busted on new Windows, but this one has a load of fixes.
