Interesting thread. You should take up blogging some time. I'd read it.
I've ohly played the original Turok on my bros N64 way back.
THe only thing I remembered about it was "I AM TUROK!"

how could somebody turned an original game into another Blockbuster retail games about a stupid marine with big jaw that has NOTHING TO DO WITH TUROK.

WHATS THE POINT INTO USING THE NAME TUROK IF IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGNAL GAME AT ALL,
AT ALL


Ooh ooh, I'm going to play the part as the annoying dumbass apologist.
(Everytime I open up one of these threads at other forums. I almost always get confronted by one of these dumb fucks who act like they know what they're talking about. When really they're just playing amateur economist.)

Dumbass apologist: Well you see gaming is a business. We have to cater to the most prominent demographic in order to insure sales.
As long as the money keeps pouring in we will continue to serve you with high quality products that we know you enjoy.

Forget the past. This is the future. Where all games happen to be cookie cutter FPS's trying to bank off of the popularity of Halo which in itself was also a cookie cutter FPS.
The point still stands, gaming is a business, and this marine bullshit is making us tons of cash.
Supply & demand. Nobody wants to play as some shitty ass Indian.
We all want to play as some ugly ass Space Marine with no fucking neck, and an even bigger gun. Hell the guns are so awfully designed that I highly doubt they would have the logistics necessary to properly fire their oversized ammunition in real life. Oh yeah I ferget though. When it comes to video games we're supposed to eat the shit the investors throw at us, because us gamers are stupid & we don't care about such trivialities.
*Though the successful sales of Fallout 3 does prove their point. FO3 had one of the most retarded guns I've ever heard of. SO I guess I should shut the fuck up(._.) *

(I often wonder why everybody complains about the proportions of the women from Soul Calibur 4. Yet nobody says a damn thing about Gears of War. Nobody is naturally built like those steroid freaks. NOBODY!! I've actually seen plenty of women built like taki. Not so much with Space marine no.3 from generic FPS/3rd person action shooter no. 401.)

I fucking hate it when an apologist drops in, and tells me some common sense bullshit as if I didn't already know.
My only point, as well as yours is that I see no point in reviving old franchises if the new property has nothing to do with the original games at all.
It's always been my argument with the Megaten games. Everybody tells me to wait for SMT 4.
I'm like wtf!? I'm a Persona fan. I want a new Persona that plays, looks & sounds like Persona. I don't give a fuck about SMT. Just give me the old Persona back, nah mean?

BTW kick ass Silva sig.
You know who pulls off some of the most badass shit in MMA?
Lyoto "RYU" machida

Machida is such a pimp he even pimped out Zoe.

Aight, I guess that's not much of a feat. Zoe's a slut.
