Rage Wars isn't precisely multiplayer only. There is a single player mode ("1 Player Trials"), but obviously it's not the main focus because multiplayer is the first option in the main menu. It's also not just a barebones deathmatch-but-with-bots -- though the only enemies are bots (AI-controlled player characters) in this mode, there's a whole progression system, unlocks, and separate campaigns for each character. Sort of like a fighting game, but each "stage" has its own preset parameters. Oh and there's also a two player version of the trials mode too. Also, N64 emulation isn't in the same state it was over a decade ago. For most games, it's pretty much solved, and even with a 19 year old version of Project64 I have lying around (v1.6b) it's only got a couple things you have to change in the settings (which the "GameFAQ" included with the emulator tells you) for the Turok games, it even worked fine with the default plugins out of the box. Though I find the N64 FPS controls to be godawful for these games. Of course it's hard to go back to anything after mouse and keyboard.

One of the big selling points of the original Turok game was the specific area/limb damage to enemies. So them asking you to shoot certain spots makes sense against the bosses. We take this thing for granted in todays games but back then this was a new feature.
@N.i.E.M.O
8 ай бұрын
Actually this feature didn't appear until Turok 2. In the first game, it didn't matter where you hit an enemy, all damage would be the same regardless of whether you shot them in the head or the foot. Even the bosses worked the same. The death animations afterward were random (for regular enemies anyway). Even so, the original Turok was considered groundbreaking for its time due to the quality of its graphics and animations, the unique and fun weapon arsenal, and the unique setting. Turok 2 upped the ante on the technical front in massive ways - though it was criticized for its difficulty, obtuse level design and monotonous mission objectives. Was still one of the most impressive games for its day, especially for a FPS on a console - and back in the day, rivaled even Goldeneye in terms of appreciation.

Ah, good memories. *Takes a brief hit* Turok 1, I cheated that game to death. Pretty colors mode, free flying, no clipping all weapons/ammo, you name it. Of course, I meet the Campaigner who I totally wrapped too, have no idea what this place here, and this guy screams at me in a tiny high pitched voice, "Whaaha! The universe is mine!" Hysterical really, it was more of a death animation/cutscenes when you died. It was so hilarious I gave myself lives just to see his tiny head face shriek at me as he attempts to club me in a wee little _"Huiigh!"_ Seeds of Evil ...Turok, that is. Was that the one where you were also rescuing kids, and they'd say, _"Thank you Turok!"_ I seem to have less memories of this one, I fear. I particularly remember the eye ball boss. Besides the above I mentioned, I lack the memory capacity for it. But I do recall being disappointed in what I hopped would be a skirmish pve mode, but was actually a pvp. Rage Wars ... --Turok-- Raptor, that is. A joke son, it's a joke. Well, okay, not really. I loved playing as that damned raptor. Loved it. Who needs a Cervical transplant gun or high powered plasma rifle when you can flail your flanges and toss talony fisty-cuffs at any passerby? Got all three skins for 'em because I wanted special bois. Also there was a character you could be in Rage Wars...Mite? Mites. Well, they start off as a swarm of bugs. Their second skin are tiny dinos, they probably have a name. But the third skin is just the cherry on top. They turn into a swarm of teddy bears. Still...I always had a thing for those thrown booby traps.

I just want to write here and tell you, I was in 4th grade when Turok 1 came out. It was LATE. It was delayed SO MANY TIMES. I waited like 18 months longer than it was supposed to be, (and N64 was the first console my parents ever bought me, this, after intentionally not being allowed to have a console to that point. I had saved my money for this game, and had to keep saving it because the game kept getting delayed. It was an eternity. I eventually spent the money on Shadows of the Empire, and had to settle for renting my dream) and when it finally did come out, _and_ _it_ _showed_ _up_ _at_ _Blockbuster_ (which was another 3 months later), I *finally rent it,* get in the car on the way home and I say out loud, as I read the box on the way home "M for mature... _huh!_" and my parents simultaneously Eye-Of-Sauron to the back seat and _snatched_ _that_ _shit_ _out_ _my_ _hand_ and went back in and just dropped it in the return bin. I've still not recovered. This game was everything to 10 year old me.

FWIW from someone who started gaming in the mid-90s, the lack of story in Turok 1 was just because it was the style at the time, at least for first person shooters. There usually was a paragraph or two in the manual you'd get with a physical boxed copy of the game where the overall setting and premise of the game is explained and after that you're just on your own. This only really changed after Half-Life came out in '98 and showed people that storytelling is indeed a thing you can do in an FPS without taking control away from the player.

Granted, I'm sure there were some devs who came and left during that period, but overall, it was mostly the same talent. But yeah, the original founders of Iguana would go to found Retro Studios, who would go on to be bought out by Nintendo and are famous for developing the Metroid Prime trilogy, which could in many ways be seen as a successor to both the 2D Metroid series as well as Turok.

13:08 Getting lost is the key to immersion. Forcing the player to map out the game world in their mind, literally puts the game world in their mind, and therefore the player into the game world. IMO, the navigation is a part of the challenge, not a flaw. Modern games consider it a flaw, so I have almost no fun games to get lost in, because the lowest common denominator is the target audience I guess. Nightdive did make it easier though, in a select number of tricky spots.

I didn't play Turok 1 when it was new, but I ended up with an N64 and a copy during the mid-00's after a garage sale run. The controls were surprisingly modern, though backward from modern twin-stick setups: the C buttons controlled running, backpedaling, and strafing, while the thumbstick was used to aim. The framerate of the first game was surprisingly stable, too, though that was down to a very low render-fog distance.

Hot Take: I love Turok Evolution. It does seem rushed but I think one thing they were sure to get right was fun action. When I'm shooting and fighting someone in that game, it's more enjoyable than in Turok 1 and 3 and I'm not really sure why. It might have to do with the damage animation, which is best in Evolutions and Seeds of Evil. I really just wish they would have made the flying levels a bonus game you unlock afterwards. Making them necessary levels to beat in order to progress in the main story really killed that game I think. My least fav chapter is chapter 7 when you go back to flying for the second time.

I'm actually really impressed with your production quality, description, intro and in-depth analysis of the nuances regarding your psychological experience through your playthroughs. That kind of thing isn't spoken about enough. It seems like some people don't really get how much of a toll it takes to undertake these... adventures. You're basically throwing your psyche into another universe, that requires hyper-vigilance... threading needles at 50 meters using a tiny joystick or mouse... Your emotions take on the characters to a certain extent.. there's a bit of psychological imprinting. If that isn't happening, the games usually aren't that fun. You'll get adrenaline rushes sometimes at least in PvP titles, which is your body actually having a full flight or flight response.. like it thinks it's going to die. Your whole body literally believes it's going to die, and your heart will pump, extremities will get cold, etc. So I say all this just as pretext to my honest expression of gratitude for your contribution to the gaming community here. Us gamers don't get enough credit for the work we put in, and gaming in and of itself is actually proving to be incredibly important in the context of the sciences, and psychology.

It very well could be a reference? Borderlands whole shtick is adding references of pop culture in their game. Though it's a very odd and obscure one at that.

I'm guessing the chant comes from a sound collection. I bet Gearbox used it thinking it sounded pretty cool and didn't know where the chant was used first (or at least where it was most well known). The chant is altered a bit in BL2. And you hear it in BL2 in the area near the first secret boss - a worm. So I dunno, I haven't heard of anything else linking it to a reference. Either way, I'm glad it wasn't just me who noticed lol. BTW did enjoy the vid!@@TruePatriotGaming

Since you’re younger than thé original Turok game, the N64 controller was a little rough on the game. It was mind blowing at the time though. Tge frame rate was rough too. The remasters control so much better.

"These games were released before I was born" I would have been 11 in 97 when Turok DH released, I got to play it in the spring of 98 when I was 12. Turok 2 released in late 1998, I got it for my 13th birthday in March 99. By the time I discovered 3's existence I already had all 3 6th gen consoles and wasn't as into FPS I was before or after. Cared more about RPGs, survival/horror, whatever the hell genre Devil May Cry is, and open-world/GTA at the time. One of my brothers did rent the GCN version of Turok: Evolution, I had some fun with the cheats, but the game was too broken for me to play seriously. I really can't comment on how the N64 originals played, I always played through them with cheats. By the time I'd played Turok 1 I had already adjusted to the N64 controller thanks to Mario 64, Kart 64, and Star Fox 64. By the time I got to 2 I had already made my way through Doom 64, OOT, Banjo Kazooie, Shadows of the Empire and GoldenEye. By Turok 2 using a N64 controller was second nature. The OG PC ports are trash, so don't ever bother with those.

The Nuke was far from useless but like the cerebral bore it had a windup... only the cerebral bore had a wind up WHILE you were shooting and the nuke had it AFTER you shot it (basically it had to fully explode for its effect to take place)... With the primogen jumping and flying around a lot it certainly wasn't the easiest weapon to kill him with but it was doable

For sure. And you can even see in the clip that it does big damage to him when it hits his hit box. The clip of course doesn't show the full fight and I found it be somewhat inconsistent most of the time. Plus he does that stupid shit where he heals back some of health. I think the nuke weapon was more supposed to be something to supplement damage on him rather than completely kill him outright like the chronoscepter.

So turok does have a story and in the N64 boxes they came with a manual and while explaining enemies and weapons there was a comic in them to giving back story to the games. Maybe it's nostalgia maybe it's bad memory but I own the remastered and theres missing areas and secrets that I remember playing as a kid also. Long story short, if you didn't read the manuals or go find the comics yeah there was absolutely no story in the game itself Edit to add. You didn't know how hard campaigner was without the scepter. I can tell you. As a kid I spent so many reload saves because I couldn't find all the parts and he was an absolute bitch to fight. You had to be maxed with all backpacks of ammo and armor and make EVERY SINGLE shot hit. Otherwise you would run out of ammo with him a sliver away from death and just have to let him kill you or hope by some grace ammo would show up on the floor in the form of tech arrows.

The flechette gun was at the start of chapter 4, go to the tree that is leaning over, stand on top of it and jump over the wall and land on top of the box to get it, I would like to add that the cheat code to unlock all the levels and additional cheats is fmfb put that in and you can play through the game with ease, but you forgot to mention the unfairness of the final boss, you start with barely any ammo, second there's no safe way to fight the boss on the ground, and in order to win you have save every bit of ammo you can carry, stand on top of a downed aircraft which allows you to stand on a rock so that you are out of reach from the boss insta killing you, and unload everything you have and pray that's it's enough to kill the final boss. apart from that I enjoyed Turok Evolution, it was also funny how stupid some of the deaths are, like when Tal'Set does a back flip randomly when he dies, I never experienced any glitches, and I played it on the original Xbox, but the levels after chapter 5 got repetitive and boring.

I played Turok on N64 and the movement was done by the C buttons on the right, with the joystick you turned around. It was challenging to get used in the beginning but then it was inevitable of the best controllers Ive tried.

All the ones on 64 were super fun. The graphics were good for the times, and the gameplay felt good. Seeds had some super fun cheats like tooty fruity that made the game more fun. Rage wars was great. It simulated playing online before online play was really a thing. Fun fact, you had to play southpaw. Your movement was on the yellow buttons on the right side of the controller, and aim was achieved by using the stick.

I absolutely loved the og turok games on the N64, and thought the creative controls for the controller were well implemented, using the C buttons to move and the joystick to guide where you aim. That being said I definitely feel the mouse and keyboard controls of the remasters are the definitive way to play the games; As they harken back to the old school boomer shooters for PC of yesteryear, like Quake, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D etc. That paired with the updated graphics, while still maintaining it's retro aesthetics, and added faster frame rate, makes these games the best type of remasters, imo.

16:50 the nuke weapon is excellent. Way better than the chronosceptor, because you can take it to any level after you get it, and you can even pick up more ammo for it. It kills the strongest enemies in the game from like 50 feet away. The only way to do the same in Turok 1 was to cheat.

26:47 This has probably been pointed out but just in case, that native/tribal cry is also used right at the start of the menu theme in Turok Rage Wars (song title “Rage”). IDK if it was in the original Turok 3 but it definitely predates Borderlands. As for what it means, or if the series "borrowed it” from somewhere else... that I’d like to know. "Jay-maaan, hey!"

there is a comic that comes with some of the copies of the original first turok game. the campaigner is an interdimensional conqueror who wants to invade our reality through the exploitation of the lost lands. which is where the game takes place in. The lost lands is a pocket dimension which connects through various random and sometimes permanent gateways into our reality. Tal set was pulled into the lost lands by the campaigner because he wanted to kill tal set to ensure his invasion is successful.
