IN the N64 MP each character had some gimmick, like Adon who had low hp and and fast health regen, etc.

This should be added as an option for multiplayer.

For me, the more options, the better.  One can't have enough choice when it comes to giving a game a long online MP lifespan.

Personally, I really hope to see all the options that are in the PC multiplayer and then some. 

Though, perhaps they plan to keep some stuff back for a Rage Wars release.  That way they'd have some selling points that they might otherwise not have...

I've chosen Turok 2 as my favourite simply because that's the one I've put most hours into.  I don't know how much of my life I've thrown into that game but it's a lot!

The first game is super cool and I love it as much as SoE but I just haven't spent as much time with it.

I'm ashamed to say that I've never completed Shadow of Oblivion (so please don't spoil the ending!).  I got it at the end of my time with the N64 which I then traded in to get my 'Cube and then eagerly awaited Evolution. 

Evolution was fun enough but I must admit I was a little underwhelmed...  I suppose, at the time, I just presumed that it would push the GameCube as hard as the first 3 games pushed the N64.  And those bloody loading times... Grrrr!  I also really, really missed the wobbly camera when Turok climbed things.  In the earlier games Turok felt like he had real heft and weight behind him.  The GameCube game just didn't have that weighty movement.  Evolution has a really lovely soundtrack though.  I love it and still listen to it on a regular basis. 

The Game Boy (Advance) games were just too hard for their own good.  It's a shame because I think there was a lot of potential for a great 2D series of Turok games.  GBA Evolution isn't too bad though.  Again, the music is great.

Turok '08... Well, I don't really count it as much of a Turok game.  It's just too generic and feels like a me-too kinda game.  Even Turok's haircut screams Gears of War.  Why couldn't Turok look like bloody Turok!?  Disappointment aside, I suppose the game's okay but as has already been mentioned it's just not a good Turok game...

Thanks, and, it's okay, I do have two eyes.  Though neither are as good as they used to be!

I have never played T2 multiplayer on the PC.  I mainly played the game on the N64 only getting the PC version a few years later.  To be honest, I'm terrible at multiplayer FPS and my only real experience is playing Halo 2 with some friends for a few months and Doom back in the Skulltag days.

Looking around here it seems that the PC game still has a bit of a player base.  How active is it?  How do people get on with the less than fluid frame rate!?  Is it fun?

I understand your ambivalence towards the T2 remaster.  It's exciting that new life has been breathed into something you love but at the same there's always that sense of a missed opportunity to have "done it right".

Still, better a flawed remaster than no remaster, eh?  Perhaps it'll lead to a great Rage Wars PC port.

Ah, I just presumed that you were in on the decision as you seem to be the main maintainer of the wiki.

Thanks for replying.

I'm toying with the idea of helping out.  My knowledge of the series isn't great but I enjoy tweaking formatting, grammar and other menial tasks.  My reticence comes from it being on Wikia.  I just don't like their content ownership rules and the overuse of huge ads.  Both kinda go against the whole wiki philosophy... perhaps I can reconcile this stuff in my old brain...

Still, enough self righteous whinging from me.  You're doing a great job.  The wiki contains so much useful and interesting stuff.  It's really pretty impressive. 

Between your work and this forum it seems Turoks future is in good hands.

I entered the giveaway in the hopes of getting in on the multiplayer and beta testing though I'm not sure how it works.  Do you 'pull the name out of a hat' once the timer runs out?  I've never heard of that site before.

Also, just curious, how popular is the multiplayer turning out to be?  Do you guys think it has staying power?
