Did any of you ever beat Turok 2: Seeds of evil?

I hated how there was absolutely no ammo for the torpedo launcher anywhere and if you use all the ammo, you couldn't even equip the weapon. That wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't need it's speed boost to make it through one underwater section before running out of air. I also got stuck for a month or so in the Hive of the Mantids. There was like a portal or something that was hidden behind a destructible wall that I never could seem to find.

Sadly, I never beat it without resorting to cheats. They shouldn't have unlocked cheats after you kill certain bosses.

The main thing I remember about this game is getting a boner when that one boss would use the move where it uses its tentacles to pull itself toward you and smash into you ass first.

I think most people who played this game had to use that Bewareoblivionisathand code

Would say that Turok 2 is the Battletoads of N64

My favorite Turok game. I never found it that hard at all, but it has its challenges.

But isn't it very hard when you have to go back to find the last Primagen keys in each levels?

Turok 3 is the only N64 Turok game that the average person actually finishes.

>>3303005
I never got a memory pak for my N64 so i mostly ended up replaying the first few levels a lot.
Eventually i got around to beating it piecemeal with the unlock cheat though.

>>3304196
The average person struggles to even finish the first level in Turok 2. In Turok 1, it doesn't get hard until level 4 or 5.

So since this is a Turok thread I might as well ask. I downloaded the original Turok PC version and I'm playing it on a computer hooked up to a CRT monitor. I'm enjoying it but I was wondering if I should pick the remaster instead.

Obviously I don't care about the resolution since I'm playing on a CRT monitor, but what about the rest of the changes? What should I do?

don't bother with it

I finished it. I can't remember if the game has difficulty levels - if so then I probably just did it on easy, maybe normal but not hard.

The game was a tedious slog. I only persisted because I paid so much for it (mostly on the basis of Edge magazine's kickback-tastic 9/10 score).

Apart from the Mag-60 the weapons all felt feeble and underwhelming. What really fucked me off was how the game appeared to rely solely on a random number generator to decide whether a hit on an enemy did damage or not.

I remember this one time I fired a grenade into the blackness and some gorilla-type thing just happened to be in its path (I couldn't see it) and the grenade exploded and killed it in one. Then another gorilla thing came at me so I fired a grenade at it, expecting the same thing but it had no effect. So I fired again and again, each grenade doing literally nothing. The gorilla eventually came right up to me and beat me up. Despite me firing about 7 grenades at it.

Fucking stupid game.

nice level design
sick music
nice weapons
nice gore

I really miss retro fps. Doom 4 tried but they fucked up the level design, it was so fucking linear. Liniear hallway followed by arena style fights.

>>3307405
I agree. I loved the cerebral bore

>>3307405
The atmosphere is unparalleled. It's how FPS games should have evolved after corridor style Doom games. The main reason it failed to catch on is because babby doesn't like getting lost and not being told what to do immediately.

The level design is absolutely horrible, the linear structure of the third game fit it way better.

I hated Hive of the Mantids - took me weeks to finish that level.

>>3305304
Buy the remaster.

Worth every penny.

>>3307349
Explosive weapons were bugged in that more often than not they literally did zero damage.

Only with cheats to skip stages. Not even because i found it hard, i just couldn't ever finish the first fucking level. I'd clear all the enemies and wander around aimlessly looking for whatever fucking switch or hidden path it was i kept missing that prevented me from reaching the energy totem.
Never had so much trouble even in backtrack hell games like Hexen. Whoever designed the first level is scum.

>>3308880
first level wasn't so bad
lair of the blind ones - now that was fucked up to navigate. then again, it actually fit

>>3308839
Really? So this was a known issue?

Yeah, cheated my way through it. I think I never even beat the cave at all because it sucked so much.
I haven't played it in 10 or so years, but from what I remember my biggest problem with it was the too large and too empty levels - you were running around with all that no distance black around you, shoot a mook from time to time (except when they chose to gang up on you) and have some kind of objective... Of course, back when it came out, I also fapped about the graphics, and the weapons were really fun, but somehow it dragged on and on and on.

>>3303005
I found that the single digit framerate was more than enough artificial difficulty for me.

>>3309158
Nope.

>>3310046
Fuck the frame rate. I had to restart the game sometimes cuz the explosions was too much for the frame rate to handle

>>3310046
>>3311521
The remaster can't come soon enough.

>>3303005
Nah, I always get bored at mantids hive.
Shame really, lvl comes with most awesome weapon (yes, RazorWind).

Really fun game.

>>3305304
> I was wondering if I should pick the remaster instead.
Now worth it in my eyes. As far as I know they just added functioning map, light effects from fire, changed certain sounds for more retarded ones and made it so my potato cant run their version of the game.

>>3310046
>>3311521
I never understood complaints about shit framerate of Turok 2. Dunno about n64, but I have no problems with pc port at all. Maybe its just because of my old pc Im able to run older games pretty good, dunno.

I fucking hated the underwater section in Lair of the Blind ones. Don't know where to go and enemies keep swimming in my way but I can't kill them cuz if I did, I would not be able to equip the Torpedo Launcher

>>3314103
I Think just the N64 version had these framerate problems.

>>3303196
>absolutely no ammo for the torpedo launcher anywhere

I kinda remember there being torpedoes in the underwater tunnels in the Lair of the Blind Ones.
Heck, I think it even respawns there!

Is it true the makers of Turok went on to make Metroid Prime?

Beat tons of games as a kid including all the other classic FPS games on both PC and N64 but I never beat Turok 1 or 2. Not because of enemy difficulty, rather I couldn't navigate the levels. I never figured out how to get past Lair of the Blind Ones in Turok 2. I explored so fucking much but just couldn't find my way to the end. My N64 memory cartridge eventually got fucked so I played through it and reached it again, and again my N64 memory stick got corrupted and I never tried again.

Had no trouble 100%ing both Perfect Dark and GoldenEye, and beat all the other classics like Doom, Blood, Quake, Duke, Shadow Warrior, etc. Always got lost in Turok.

>>3318005
Turok games aged like poopoo

>>3318005
I love how, instead of using it to perhaps boost the frame rate, the Expansion Pak just gives you higher res, but the same wanky framerate.

>>3318162
the framerate was actually worse with the expansion pak

>>3318162
The framerate is worse when the game is in high resolution.

Having more RAM doesn't directly give you more performance

>>3318169
No I suppose it just means you can rely more on lookup tables. So what did the Pak do in this case? Just increase the video RAM?

>>3318175
>So what did the Pak do in this case?

More space for a larger framebuffer and corresponding larger z-buffer.

>>3317856
>That really need a big [citation needed] every time anyone says that.

His intent may have been fine but his methods weren't. Sure he just wanted to go home but in order to do that he'd have to destroy multiple planets and countless lives.

Good stuff as well : p

Isn't there a way to force turok 2 pc to run a 60 fps? I remember seeing it around.

Does Joshua die in Turok 3? I remember Adon saying that she knew how to revive him but game ended before the player found out if she really intended to do that or not.

>>3319163
Yes. Then Oblivion parades around in his corpse. Then you kill him.

TUROKEX was a project originally started back in 2011.

It's gonna be ready sometime this century.

Haha i found the voice of Oblivion scary when I was young...was very afraid the first time I went into one of those fake portals

The version of Turok on Steam is made by Kaiser. He and his team are currently working on Turok 2.

And if I am not mistaken, he started working on T2 back in May.

I take it the game is going to be released this December at the earliest.

It should be illegal to end your game on a cliffhanger, if you're not committed to making a sequel to resolve it.

>>3324445
This. It's a shame we'll never find out what happened

This came out the same time as Zelda OoT (in the UK)
Played a bit of it, soon got fed up of being lost, gave up.

Tried playing it again a few months back
The damn look spring makes it unplayable

This game was definitely not for kids. Did they expect kids to navigate through levels like Lair of the Blind Ones or Hive of the Mantids?

>>3326227
It was rated M, so no.
