i still think it's fucking insane this in the age of Doom 2016, Eternal and Ultrakill and all these cool insane boomer shooters coming out left and right, someone dug up the Turok license just to go 'lets make a generic dogshit over-the-shoulder lootershooter upgrade-tree slop game' - ThreadSky

I had so much more fate when I initially heard rumours of sabre doing turok because of the combination of how well they were doing space marine 2 & having some id talent there now. It initially felt like the stars aligned and then we got this…

matchlockfairy.bsky.social•79 days ago

a new turok game where you can glory kill velociraptors would go so hard

maipop.bsky.social•78 days ago

i get thats its not like old turok but having played space marine II i hope that saber interactive can make a fun game regardless. please at least include "i am TUROK!"

Bro where are the aliens and demons and weird shit? dinosaurs is like half of it AT MOST

veejay.bsky.social•79 days ago

Doom 2016 looked like a generic 7th gen military shooter when it was first announced, so I dunno, maybe they'll see the pushback and go back to the drawing board with Turok as well.

Or maybe I'm just coping, yea it's probably that.

grungle.bsky.social•79 days ago

I don't know if there's enough real Turok fans still out there to push back on this.

harupittan.bsky.social•78 days ago

Doom '16 and Ultrakill count as boomer shooters? I feel like they have a different DNA.

oshi.cafe•79 days ago

Just watched the trailer and not only did it not feel like Turok, it was just so soulless. If you shown me the trailer with no branding, I wouldn't have guessed it was Turok; maybe an Ark clone or something.

if i had a dollar for every time they dug up the Turok license to make a generic shooter based on the worst industry trends of the current era i'd have two dollars. it's not a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

disastermillennial.bsky.social•78 days ago

oh god, they made Turok a Borderlands-like? gross

masumivt.bsky.social•79 days ago

A real head scratcher, that

as an appendum, the absolute anguish in vinesauce joel's voice when he realized what it was was both tragic and really funny - vinny's subdued but palpable despair was also really good

If I'm being honest I'm getting tired of the "SUPER DUPER HYPER ACTIVE BOOMER SHOOTER WHERE YOU HAVE TO DO A 15 HIT WEAPON COMBO TO KILL 1 GUY!!!111" We need to go back to shooters like F.E.A.R

blacklight.bsky.social•78 days ago

may i interest you in trepang2

nonameo7.bsky.social•78 days ago

F.E.A.R without the horror elements was how F.E.A.R 3 happened

hdoomguy.bsky.social•78 days ago

it's almost as if FEAR-likes already exist and boomer shooters actually have a very wide array of options and gameplay flows. lol.

nonameo7.bsky.social•78 days ago

The only F.E.A.R, like in existence, is Trepang2, and that ripped out all the interesting asian horror influences that made F.E.A.R. so interesting in the first place.

sharpie.zone•62 days ago

isn't selaco a F.E.A.R-like?

nonameo7.bsky.social•78 days ago

Ngl Trepang2 pisses me off cause it's so sad that all the atmosphere of fps games have been ripped out in the name out "SUPER ULTRA MEGA BREAKCORE VOMIT BLAST!!!!!" Imagine if a new Blood game came out and it just removed all the b-horror elements

nonameo7.bsky.social•78 days ago

Now that I think about the only thing Trepang2 and F.E.A.R have in common is the slow down mechanic everything else is way different

ktheshykat.bsky.social•79 days ago

That Turok announcement was incredibly underwhelming with how unappealing it looked and played. Also, aren’t Saber doing Jurassic Park Survival? How are they gonna juggle between the two projects now?

demonproduct.bsky.social•79 days ago

It's wild that they did Turok 3, made it an absolutely wildly ambitious mid-apocalyptic science fiction shooter with dual protagonists that the N64 could barely run, and decided okay that's it were only doing prequels and reboots from now on

shallowva.bsky.social•79 days ago

You fight dinosaurs with lasers! How do they keep fucking this up??
