Preview  Turok: Evolution
- By Ryan Eid [Senior Editor]
You knew it was coming, but finally the first footage and information has been unveiled about the next Turok installment. According to lead developer David Deinstbier, the game will take place before the first 3 Turoks in the timeline. "Turok Evolution is actually the origin story, so it’s kind of an episode one. We decided that too many people didn’t know what Turok meant, how it began, whatever; and we really wanted to get back to the roots of what we started with" stated Deinstbeir. "We found that people didn’t ever really know what Turok meant – so we’ll tell them that now. So it’s actually an episode one."
The game will also be less futuristic, and focus mainly on prehistoric times, like the first Turok. "one of the things that the art team has done an amazing job with is establishing the look of the lost land and some of the different civilizations that live there – it’s all organic". And these organic enviroments are completely interective. See some wildlife climbing a tree? Why not shoot it? This interaction within the environment is really what will bring Turok to the next level, according to Deinstbier. "We can kill everything. But this time it’s not just monkeys. A little lemurs and chimpanzees and all kinds of fun stuff. But I mean, there’s life everywhere in the game, it’s just ridiculous! We’ve got fish eating insects that are then getting eaten by things that eat fish that eat get eaten by things that eat fish, it’s amazing!"
The game is currently at about 50% completetion, and is scheduled to be released sometime in mid to late 2002. No word on multiplayer options yet, except that they will be there. To read NGenre's interview with Mr Deinstbier, you can check it out right here.
