Alright guys. I just got my May issue of XBOX magazine, and I was thrilled when I opened it. First person shooters are always the best of games. But there is one game that has helped pave the way for these games. Before FEAR, before Halo, even before Goldeneye, There was Turok! The First person shooter that involved people fighting people fighting dinosaurs!
After the N64 the turok name slowly started to die. It seemed like the final nail in the coffin was when publisher Acclaim filed for bankruptcy. But now, nearly 10 years later, Disney has bought and dusted off the rights for the game. Set for release sometime in 2007, this promises to be one hell of a game. Some more info on it as from Xbox Magazine...
+ It will support 16 players
+ The maps are being designed by Threewave, the pioneers of modern capture teh flag from the old-school Quake (1996 Days)
+ It may support a Halo 2- style party system. We saw a note on a whiiteboard that said "parties" under a multiplayer heading, but the team wouldn't confirm or deny our spywork.
+ The modes will be all team-oriented and will includeTeam Deathmatch, CTF, and other miscellanious objective-based games.
+ A.I. dinosaurs will be included, and they'll be everyone's enemy. And they'll factor into objective-based games, too. For instance, we were told of the flag in CTF being tainted with a pheromone that attracts dinosaurs. So the falg-bearer will try to score with the flag while not being eaten in the process!
+ Another CTF level described to us features two bases and a central common area. In the middle are switches to open dinosaur pens that spill beasts into one of the areas. Youll need to think strategically here. If you release the dinos into the enemy base, you'll make life hell for them but also more difficult for you as you try to get into their base to the flag. Conversly, as a defensive tactiv, you could open the gates in your base if the enemy gets past you and reaches the flag.
Some of the weapons include a knife, which is a one-hit kill if you can stealth with it. A bow, because of course it is turok! A rail gun, which is a type of machine gun that can and will over heat. A shotgun with the usual close-quarters punch, but with a flare attachment. And a flamethrower to BBQ yourself some dinosaur!
P.S. I would have shared this with everyone, but I can only post this in the Syn news section, so feel privelaged!
