Night Dive Studios, specialist in updating and remastering classic games, has announced that it’s taking on classic dino-murdering shooters Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil.
Though it seems like nowadays they’re best known as N64 games, both titles were actually also released on the PC, in 1997 and 1999 respectively.
Night Dive is going to restore and publish ”modernized versions” of both, with enhanced graphics and other improvements. Details on exactly what to expect are pretty thin on the ground, but we do know that the finished products will be available through Steam, the Humble Bundle store, GOG, GamersGate, Greenman Gaming, and via the Night Dive Studios website.
“When Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was first released it was nothing short of revolutionary,” says studio CEO Stephen Quick. ”To that point, no game had ever offered the combination of graphics and an open world environment that Turok featured. We are very excited to have the opportunity to bring this great franchise back to life and to be able to share these great titles with today’s gaming audience.”
You know, I think I’ll have to give Turok another go, after the rubbish 2008 shooter kind of soured the whole franchise for me. I’ve just missed the Cerebral Bore too much.
