There was also Rage Wars on the N64 which was a deathmatch-centred game and focused mainly on multiplayer modes:
I've heard good things about it
Didn't have the chance to play much of it, but I remember liking Turok Rage Wars. It wasn't a game I was interested in at first since I didn't really want to play a multiplayer only Turok, but me and my friend had some good moments with it.
I hope somehow these games can find there way on Steam or someplace.

I still find it weird that Disney had a hand on the last game.
Some cerebral bore action
'Twas so good.
I still remember my jaw hitting the floor when i got my £70 N64 game home and played it.
Most PC shooters were still using 2D sprites and Doom style block environments at the time, to say Turok put them to shame is an understatement.
Such a shame it has come to this, the IP had tons of potential, i mean who doesn't like dinosaurs?.

Rage Wars was fucking fun. I had as much fun in that game as GoldenEye and Perfect Dark.
You could play as a Raptor!

Yes. That was good. Played a lot of that with my brothers.
Ah, yes, the niece and nephew. I liked that stuff.
I never played Turok on GBA. Damn, Im going to try to find that. Play it on my micro. The only game in the series I didn't play... I think.
Raptor and they really had fun with guns...Cerebral Bore, Emanicipatator, Freeze Gun, Alien Embryo Gun, super hammer, all the classics, and I know I am missing another goodie.

I wanted to hate you, but I laughed so much at this that I just couldn't. Well played.
Also, the '2' is because my favorite Turok game is Turok 2. Not because the pesky dinosaur_hunter1

Can someone explain to me what Bish has to do with Turok?
I'm just saying that an attempt to capitalise on the name would, in all likelihood, be contested due the pre-existence of Turok games.
Copyright.gov's database seems to only have listings related to Prima's guides, so my guess would be whichever state assumed Acclaim's debt (Wikipedia says New York, but there's no citation).
He worked on the 2008 game way back when.
GBA title looked good:
They made a GBC title for almost every Turok title.
-Battle of Bionosaurs
-Seeds of Evil
-Rage Wars
-Shadows of Obilvion
-Evolution (GBA)

He was still a native american in the reboot. He simply didn't have the Hollywood semi-racist caricature look to him.

Same here. Both games were awesome. Series went downhill starting with Turok 3.
I haven't played the first game in years so i could be wrong here but i'm pretty sure the game was set in the eighteen hundreds when Native Americans did wear stuff like Turok.
I believe Turok was taken through a portal or something.

Yeah. That's why we identified with him. Because we are all racist. SMH.

It is hard. After a while, I would just use the stun gun on creatures then switch to the shooty or assault rifle to finish them off. I think it was mostly the framerate that was responsible for my erratic aiming. I loved it though, in all of its hi-def, expansion pak goodness.
God dammit we really need N64 games on VC. So many games I'd love to replay.

Dinosaur FPS games usually aren't great, but man the old Turok games were an exception. I'm sad we never saw a sequel to Turok 08.
So, what Dinosaur games do we have to look forward to now.. Dino Crisis reboot..? New IP?

All of the original Turok games on N64/GC/Xbox/PS2 was a born Native American from olden days going through a portal to the Lost Land. 2008 Turok was super future Native American soldier but would there still be pure blooded Native Americans that far in the future?

New IPs at this point.
Not even a pip about that rumored reboot has come out. Maybe something based off jurassic world if its huge like were all hoping.

That image link is messed up, but I looked it up and it looks like something I'd play. $10 on ebay. We'll see. Might be good for the ol' Micro.
I had no idea about all those GBC games. Jesus. I can't play all that. And here I was thinking I had a good grasp on the Turok video game series. There are more I haven't played than ones I have!
It's entirely possible that DreamWorks/Random House/Classic Media does own the games, but owning a trademark doesn't necessarily indicate ownership of individual works (Bethesda doesn't own Wolf09, for example), especially in this case as Acclaim's comic publishing arm was sold off to a completely unrelated company. I can't seem to find any info on where the earlier games went following Acclaim's demise.
Edit: I've sent an e-mail to Classic Media's licensing address. If I receive a response worth posting, I'll do so.

Played the shit out of Turok: Evolution on the PS2, I was always holding out for a decent sequel.
Now it's whittled down to 'spiritual successor'

There's a potential JW Lego game inbound, but otherwise the only other game I know about is a JW park building sim for phones.
Hopefully the success of Alien Isolation and Shadow of Mordor will make games based upon film IPs more attractive.. but getting JP in game form would be rough.. it's never been about shooting/killing the dinosaurs, so it would have to be survival/adventure. I could see an Alien Isolation style working for something like the Raptors in the kitchen scene, so maybe there is potential somewhere..

Most people point to Goldeneye. I always point to Turok.

Yep hopefully something happens.
I'm still holding out for a Trespasser-esque game but done right.
Game had so much potential
Turok 08 and Dino Crisis 3 can barely be compared to each other.
DC3 was just all around terrible with barely a single thing redeemable.

it died already with the N64.
the gc/ps2 one was already bad but the ps360 one was just a unbearable mess

I remember when the N64 launched... Turok and Super Mario 64 blew my fucking mind!
I tried to go back and play Turok: Dinosaur Hunter earlier this year, but modern gaming has spoiled me and I just couldn't handle the controls anymore. I might give Turok 2 a shot and see if there's a control scheme in there that's do able.

It honestly could work. Perhaps add some platforming into it, some puzzles.. it could really capture the adventure and horror tone at the right places.

Turok 1 and 2 were my most anticipated games at the time. Never beat either of them except part 1 with cheat codes. Never played 3, but I did have Evolution on the GameCube. Was the 2008 game any good?
They each killed their series, that's what they have in common.

That's a shame.
I still have fond memories of playing Turok 2 split screen on the N64 and shooting arrows into everyone's arse.
Good times.
And the cerebral bore.
Goodness, best weapon ever.

He was wearing stuff like a headband which natives have never worn. It's a product of Hollywood misrepresentation.
I don't mind having Turok wear period outfits; the devs should simply make sure it's an actual historical outfit by doing a modicum of research.
That's one hell of a leap you did there.

Now I'm going to boot up Turok 2 with my sweet ass memory pak and blaze through level 1 again. Game was painful slow, but damn good.
I remember whooping Turok 1 mostly with a knife. Never played 3, but now I kinda want to. There goes my game budget for Q4.

They planned a Turok 2 but disney was done with financing big games so they pulled the plug. It was a victim of circumstance.
DC3 really did kill it's series for being a mainline sequel that had nothing to do with the first 2 games both in story and gameplay. The fact it was Xbox only didn't help as well. Though with all of the decisions related to it. Any series with the shift DC3 took would have died.

It's a bit of a left-field choice, but I'd love a Turok game developed by Tripwire.
