I didn't play this on N64 and I'm playing it on PC. It's got some pretty huge early 3d, N64 FPS AIDS but you know what, I kind of like it. It moves fast and the soundtrack is deece, and the world is designed all deranged and there's supernatural poo poo popping off left and right that don't make any drat sense but it's kind of awesome. Like portals that just appear in the world sort of randomly that have otherworldly bonus dimensions in them. What are your thoughts on this N64 classic, now on Steam for 19.99 and perhaps on sale.

Does the PC version have really bad fog so you can't see further than 10 feet in front of you?

Remember when this gmae came out Acclaim had a promotion where they would give parents $10,000 if they named their baby Turok

it needs the fog because lots of the secret areas are hidden just outside of it

they faced the choice of either updating it to act like a pc shooter or staying faithful to the original and they picked the worst of both worlds

I think you can turn on fog or something if you really want to.

Though on PC I guess the fog has to be black.

And the fog is in a gameplay option and I think it changes how enemies act and when they can see you, believe it or not.

It's sort of less annoying with the fog on actually since the enemies aren't swarming you since they don't see you across the map.

Well it's easy to hit stuff but the enemies are still hitscan and have weird animations and crap for the most part so I don't know. I never played the original.

It has a huge cheat menu built in. But I don't feel like cheat ATM. I got to a pillar platforming part so I'm gonna take a break.

The first secret I found was in a pool of water there was a little hole under a wall that was about 6 inches high but Turok squeezed in there and it became about 10 feet high and my balls blew off from the non euclidean nightmare awesomeness.

Oh and going by the console in this it looks like it's on Unreal engine.

It's reminding me a lot of the first Quake, but the levels have all smoked a thousand pounds of speed and are 1000x as big.

Until someone gets around to writing that case study, it is enough to say that a highly driven group of Tantalus employees developed an original game on PC, PSX, N64 and DreamCast. In seven months. Understandably, the end product was underwhelming, and when I arrived at the company a couple of years after it shipped I said to the guys, “well, I guess at least you would have made a few bucks out of it.” Not even. The budget for all those SKUs was less than nine hundred thousand dollars.

I don't like the respawning enemies though. Well I guess I do because it makes you want to finish the level faster so you don't run out of ammo on respawning enemies, but the levels are huge and don't make a lot of sense to navigate all the time.
