IGN hands-on with new Turok

by John Bardinelli { Jul 4th 2007 at 4:00PM }

Over ten years after the Nintendo 64 debut of Turok, Propaganda Games is getting ready to roll out a PS3 and Xbox 360 update to the dinosaur-hunting FPS. Set on a mysterious planet in the future, Turok and a squad of elite soldiers are tasked with apprehending his former mentor, Roland Kane. Unfortunately things don't go quite as planned and Turok and crew find themselves stuck in the middle of a dense dinosaur-filled jungle.

IGN's recent hands-on with the Xbox 360 version of Turok shows that some of the technology and options in the game are "beyond sweet". For example, Turok really lets you get the gore on with creative ways of disposing of dinosaur foes. Sticky grenades on a raptor's back sounds pretty sweet to us. Combine that with an intelligent, living environment, and teammates that do more than serve as ammunition shields and "beyond sweet" sounds like a fitting phrase. Turok will be ready to storm out the gate in Q1 2008.

Mmmm.....cerebral bore.

I hope this game rocks. Jungle based FPS with dinos.

Hopefully the multi is playing as 12 dinos against 4 human players.

"Hopefully the multi is playing as 12 dinos against 4 human players."

OK, that would definitely be cool.

This game looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please take note people who made Crackdown & Shadowrun. This is GOOD art direction. Everything in this new Turok game looks cool as hell.

I will wet my pants if the multiplayer is small/medium sized maps. Humans on humans with dinosaurs randomly coming into the arena. That would be unique, and it would rock my world.

Please be good!!

I loved the first N64 game, That was my first taste of FPS greatness. I hope too that this one is as great as the first.

Shooting someone in the neck with a pistol and watching the blood spurt from their ear was possibly my favourite fps moment, it helped warp me into the desensitised person I am today.

The DYNO-MITE vid was SWEET!! The screenshots don't do any justice.
