/vr/ - Retro Games

Yep.

You seem gay

>>7198562

the tone of the game is grim, visceral, intense, and lonely. the enemies are intelligent, relentless, merciless, and as you said, have an air of cruelty about them. it's a brutal world where things die brutal deaths. all of these things were intentional decisions made by the developers. that's what makes it a well designed game.

"the dinosoids have a more sinister and personal agenda of their own. to see human kind wiped from the face of the earth."

>>7198562
Turdcock is fucking cringe, I don't know how you could even see anything to he scared of in FOGFOGFOGFOG

>>7198562
isn't this a meme about mario 64?

Does the sequel have Pen & Ink mode?

>>7198612

>woah! Check it out dudes! Gather roun! Get a load of this: He posted it again!

>>7198678
The truth never changes, dumb piece of shit.

>>7198589
I like this post.
>see human kind wiped from the face of the earth.
Yea thats what they did in the first map.
But what does the liar of the blind ones have to do with this?

>>7198612
You are obessed with the fog. And its only in the first turok.

>>7198589
Its the first fps game ive played where one level felt like it took hours to beat.
They don't make em how they used to

>>7198723
All of the levels in Turok 2 (except for the stage select) exist in The Lost Land. Which is a pocket dimension on/in Earth IIRC.

>>7198615
I'm a completely different person, but I have posted that Mario 64 is like a sad tormented spirit trapped in purgatory. HTH.

How does Turok doesn't get hungry after all that running around inside the mantid hive.

>>7198723
Lair of the Blind ones swore fealty to the Primagen. Same with the Mantids and Purrlin.

>>7198792
Primagen=prime generation to holocaust you.

>>7198589
>lonely
I love lonely games.

>>7198562
Have you tried playing Glover or Shadowman?
Creepy ass N64 games (intented or not) are worse than anything they make nowadays.

>>7198562
>children locked in cages crying.
Especially this fucked me up as a kid too, probably because it's easier for kids to empathize with fictional kids.
the gbc version also fucked me up with how bad it was.

>>7199518
Shadowman was fucking horrifying, it scared me far more than it should have for how old I was when it came out. Turok is definitely unsettling as well though, something about the environments is so unwelcoming.

>>7199556
The asylum playground area still creeps me out to this day.

>>7198562
Turok 1 wasn't scary to me, until the literal jumpscare part. What the fuck. Most of the game is just an action shooter and no where else in the game does it have jump scares.

The 45° fov and small draw distance certainly add to a claustrophobic cramped atmosphere.

The cave music and reverb in 1+2 still give me chills. It is creepy. Add to that the echoing high pitched screams of those little fucking cave monsters and fuck that shit!

>>7198562
I wish they would release 3 on PC like the other 2. I know it's not as popular and has a load of plot points that will never be resolved but it was still amazing to me as a kid.

In the past few days Turok autists made me realize how unique this game was, especially Turok 2, in a console like the N64. Truly underrated game.

>>7199518
No. What is glover like ? Is it a happy game?

>>7199939
Glover feels weird cause most levels are in this huge ass void.
Good music though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEustI1l0s

>>7199685
Remember renting it as a kid and i made it to the liar of the blind ones. The day i had to return it. I felt like something was taken from my soul. I was exhausted and scared.

>>7199939
It's super creepy to the point I believe it's on purpose.

It "seems" to be a happy game at first though.

>>7199959
Hmm. What about sonic cd. They said they didnt make that creepy on purpose either and it was a joke.

>>7199727
All the Turok threads lately just had me searching to see if it's on sale on Xbox and I was let down to hear that Turok 3 hasn't been re-released.

It's the only one I never beat as a kid even though I rented it a couple of times.

>>7200175
You can emulate it with mouse and keyboard controls. Same goes for Rage Wars.

>>7198562
>This game scarred me for life as a child
If only there had been a way to avoid that

>>7200406
But anon I'm a moron and only play console games. My only computer is a MacBook Air.

>>7200175
I dont think ive ever played turok 3 either other than the multiplayer. Ill have to put it on my to play list.

I like turok but im not a fan of the driving/riding dinosaurs sequences.
In the ps2 turok when you have to fly on the dinosaur i always lose.

>>7200467
>I like turok but im not a fan of the driving/riding dinosaurs sequences.
The gun dinosaur riding in Turok 2 is very fun, OP as fuck, but fun, and it's completely optional if it's not your thing.

>In the ps2 turok when you have to fly on the dinosaur i always lose.
Yes, that was bullshit, difficult to control, instadeath crashes everywhere and long levels that will require the player to start over if he dies, since there's no saving nor checkpoints. The lowest point of the whole Turok series, arguably. But the game wasn't just PS2, it was also on the other 6th gen consoles and PC, with the PS2 being the second worst port, behind only PC (the absolute worst)

>>7200494
Did they even test play that ps2 bullshit. What were they thinking.
And the game was fine until you get to the flying part. I remember magazine ads saying ps2 turok was going to be amazing. It had good atomsphere. The little animals jumping around. Maybe it was a cash grab.

>>7200534
Evolution, like many games, was probably ambitious at one point, but cut everything to make a deadline

>>7198562
same here anon

Turok 2, Doom 64 and Body Harvest are apocalyptic kino

>>7200406
>And Rage Wars

Ah yes, the mediocre arena shooter.

>>7198562
Are these still fun to play on the N64?

>>7202737
I don't think so because of
-low frames per second
-fps are so hard to control on consoles with a controller
I didnt notice these things as a child
Its werid. I dont remember fps on consoles being hard to control.
Now its like hard to aim and move.
This is what the pc did to me.

>>7202737
Not really. Just play the remasters or the original PC ports.

>>7200534
Wildlife in Turok Evolution is exclusive to the Xbox and PC ports. But the former has serious framerate issues, and the latter is completely broken, one of the most unstable games this side of Big Rigs. The only decent port is the Gamecube version, it's recommended to play that if one really wants to play this game.

>>7203136
>the original PC ports.
No. These are inferior to the N64 versions. The remasters are the only feasible option today.

>>7203152
>The only decent port is the Gamecube version, it's recommended to play

Good. They probaby did all of this on purpose to make nintendo look good.

>>7203152
I played it on pc without crashes years ago

>>7203187
Crashes are the most minor issue about this game.

>>7203172
Can you get the remasters on xbox 360 or only xbox one ?

>>7203214
Only Xbone, Switch or PC

>>7202737
Not really. Just play the remaster, it's superior in every aspect.

t. played Turok 2 on N64 at release

>>7203249
I will play the pc remaster through a crt monitor.

>>7203252
The remaster is 16:9 only.

Now what?

>>7203262
No it's not retard.
Also, people have been watching 16:9 stuff on their 4:3 TVs probably before you were even born.

>>7203262

Turok remaster with smooth fps and keyboard and mouse control on an crt probaby feels more soulish than on a flat screen led. I think i already own the remaster. I will have to check when i am home. Do you use a controller on your pc? I dont know ill see what happens with the 16:9. It probably still fills the screen pretty normal.

>>7203262
Im confused why People think resolution and pixels matter ? I ran from an hdmi cord onto my crt monitor and i picked 800x600 but the game looked like was hd. How does this even work?
I know back in the day if you picked 800x600 it would be all blurry.

>>7202912
No, Turok always controlled like ass on n64
t.grew up playing the 3 non-stop on N64

>>7203467
If you never had a pc in your life and you were a child with consoles only. Fps with a controller might feel natural. But maybe i was distracted by the violence and graphics. I probably wasn't doing that well in the game. I was just thinking wow this is awesome. Even if i died early in the game.
>>7203454
I bet the hdmi to vga cord is bypassing all the crts controls

How do you beat Lair of the Blind ones? I get lost in the water section and can't find where to go

>>7204094
>what is using the fucking map?

>what is setting gamma higher so you can see entrances you might have missed?

Lair of the Blind ones is getting memed so hard I almost want to try it

The remake is for casuals though right

>>7204126
I will try. However, I'm playing the n64 version. It's so hard and the spiders come from nowhere and make a lot of damage

>>7204150

What the fuck is this trend of saying every game before the 7th gen was somehow "spooky"? Were you guys all just complete pussies as kids? Its a game about shooting dinosaurs & aliens until they spurt fountains of blood and explode. Thats badass, not spooky.

>>7199937
It seems to be the next step in fps evolution after quake.

>>7204150
You can turn off all the casual shit in the remake.

1. Ledge grabbing. Original didn't have this. It's for fags that can't jump.
2. Notification icons to let you know where key items are. Turn it off faggit.
3. You can now teleport from station to station. Not really all that casual. More like quality of life change to save time rather than wasting time running to the end of the level to leave or resetting the game.

>>7204094
There's a part where you jump off one of those two bridges to grab some dynamite and I 100% bet you missed the little cave entrance in the wall.

We all miss that.

Everyone's here talking about Turok, but do anyone here remember this game? Or played it?

>also by Acclaim
>also based on a comic book franchise
>running on the Turok engine
>multiplatform (N64 and PS1)

>>7204207
It was shit and gay.

>>7204187
N64 games have giant voids that create autism. They also have low textures so it makes it more creepy for the imagination. They also use creepy music and sounds.

>>7198562
>le negative aura energy

>>7204202
You can also save anywhere, and there isn't a way to put back the fog, and certain maps were simplified from the originals (Lair of the Blind Ones especially)

>>7204210
Yeah, I've played it recently. It was terrible, had to force myself to finish.

>>7204187
>Its a game about shooting dinosaurs & aliens until they spurt fountains of blood and explode.
you're interacting with people who are terrified of haunted pokemon cartridges

Hive of the Mantids is too hard and too long, it's impossible to finish all missions

>>7204219
Here's the proof of the casualization on the "remaster", in comparison with the original N64 version. As if the added handholding quest markers wasn't enough, no, modern "gaymers" are too pussified.

Worst part is that you have to go back to all levels and collect primagen keys

>>7204240
No one forced you to play on Hard/Hardcore. Now suck it, faggot.

>>7204240
Imagine being a turok dev.
Giant levels

>>7204253
Yea gaming is ruined now.
I loved having free time in my childhood.
You should have enough time in life to explore these giant maps.

>>7204279
If they were going to make only 6 levels, they better make it count. Every map is the size of a whole Doom/Quake/Duke 3D episode, and can take even longer to beat.

>>7204285
You can perfectly have plenty of free time as an adult, as long as you aren't working on a shit job, nor fall for the marriage meme.

>>7204253
>Removes two pointless loops that serve no purpose other than to probably dump and load data
Oh noooooooooo it's soooooo casual!

I played this on n64 when I was a kid. I finished Port of Adia but it took me 8 hours. And then I couldn't even beat River of Souls. I didn't find all the sisters of despair and the enemies (lord of the dead) hit you despite being far away from you

>>7204294
>nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
>sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

zoooooooooooooooom zooooooooooooooooooom

>>7204297
Buzzwords at the last bastion of someone that has no argument and likely only has a sub90 IQ

>>7204286
How often can you save in the n64 version ?

>>7204349
>bastion
>argument
>IQ

>haha, I used adult, complicated words, I'm so smart!!! I'm totally not a zoomer!!!

>>7204253
Imagine being a kid who wasn't even born when that game came out, discovering this "hardcore retro game" and then thinking it's some kind of accomplishment to play the game on N64.

>>7198562
Game is scary unplayable.

>>7198562
What a coincidence

>>7205004
what a bargain! my wife's son loves dinosaurs so I bet he'd get a kick out of this childhood favorite.

>>7198690
Only the first Turok has fog you literal retard.

>>7205096
???? 2 has fog just as bad as 1. Maybe even worse.

>>7204214
Yeah you faggots are the reason we're in a second lockdown now so fuck off and die with your gay meme.

>>7205228
>STUPID PEASANTS, THIS IS YOUR FAULT. YOU CAUSED THE FLU IN THE WINTER SEASON
Wew, I'm not sure there is a crying soijack big enough for the likes of you.

This game creeped me out more than Resident Evil ever could
I played all 4 N64 Turoks and only 2 had this feeling. The others were gory, but not creepy. 2 is all about exploring these haunted, forgotten places and facing bizarre, twisted creatures.
There was one place I remember very vividly, a giant staircase and something like a valley with raptors, on the very first stage that made me very scared. Then last year I watched a playthrough of the game on Youtube but there were no such places. I probably dreamed about the game as a kid and my memory mixed the dream and the game together.
Shadowman was also scary as fuck

>>7205291
That sounds a lot like a section from one of the early levels in the first Turok.

>>7200417
kek /thread

>>7205309
I played the first to the end, nothing comes close.
Also, I distinctively remember the architecture being that of the port of Adia and the raptors being the Turok 2 models.
Memory does play tricks
