Turok 3: Shadow Of Oblivion Remaster Announced For Switch

Wow... that's a terrific remaster for a N64 game while keeping the retro feel. Wish there were more like this one!

Now imagine Perfect Dark like this

I never played Turok 3 back in the day after being let down by Turok 2 (N64 Magazine was well off in their review!). Nightdive made Turok 2 playable and I really enjoyed playing it on Switch so will give this a go when it launches.

@YoshiFR2 oh dear,Perfect Dark would be a dream come true.

Great to see Nightdive remastering this one, nice to have the entire trilogy on Switch.

Im currently going through Doom 64 on Switch, just finished Quake on Series X and now on Quake II 64. Nightdive is awesome.

Blake Stone please!

Actually looks like a really nice visual balance between the original and what we can do today to make it look relevant.

Side point: I'd like to see old games like this get the same level of treatment and ported to VR in roughly the same state, which should mean current VR systems have no issue running them and still looking modern enough to be visually appealing there too, because these more obviously polygonal games tend to look lovely in VR in stereoscopic 3D at proper 1:1 human scale. See Resident Evil VR on Quest 2 for a great example of this done right.

If this one runs at 30 fps on Switch, everybody will lose their minds.

Whoa, go Nightdive! The N64 trilogy will finally be complete.

After watching a DF Retro playthrough of the first hour, I was really hoping NightDive had this on their docket. This game was very ahead of its time in terms of level size and structure. This Fall, man..... My poor wallet!

Wow, I loved the first two games on N64 but this one I only played briefly but was always curious about it. I have to pick this up I think!

Finally! Been waiting years for Turok 3! 😃

Cool it's finally getting remastered
Turok 3 is one of my favourite games
Hope it go's on cartridge but will download this one.
Now just need rage wars to be remastered and then it will be complete.

@YoshiFR2
I am dying for perfect dark to eventually hit the switch in all its glory. Now if only nighdive could handle it that would be the dream.

On topic I have great memories of turok 1 and 2. Never tried the 3rd one but I remember it had the better multiplayer options out of all the three so yeah, I hope they plan on keeping this aspect of the game and improve upon it.

After having a blast on Quake 2, my love for deathmatches was rekindled. I checked the online on Turok 2. It was dead. And they never added split screen functionality. I never got to play Turok 3. I’ll definitely pick it up.

Speaking of dead. Doom 2016, Eternal, and Duke Nukem all have dead online play on the Switch. Unless theres this magic happy hour I don’t know about. I know games go dead, however, I’m surprised these reputable titles are. I figured they’d have stronger followings.

Nightdive doing a sterling job with their remasters.

@VR32X they do, just not on the Switch, Unfortunately. Particularly Doom Eternal, that game was dirst announced for a March 2020 release on all systems, then couple of weeks before the game dropped, they removed the Switch release to an unknown date and took away all mention of a physical copy.

Then in December 2020 game finally dropped as a digital only game requiring like 30-40 gigs of storage to play.

Most people skipped it after that.

Fantastic!!! I’ve been waiting for this one. One of my favs. Now to end with rage wars ❤️🤞

As with the first two, this is instantly joining my library.

@Reztobi Eternal came on cartridge eventually thouh, even if is was Limited Run

Turok 2 has the best FPS single player campaign ever after Metroid Prime.

I would like to know how Turok 3 compares to that? I never played other entries than the second and I really loved the music, different weapons and the labyrinthine level design.

@Stamina_Wheel Unfortunately Epic nowadays doesn't care about games not named Fortnite. They actually delisted all of the Unreal games from Steam and GOG, the same games that made the company and one of the most popular game engines nowadays.

Nightdive take a bow!

I've heard Turok fans say that while 2 is most remembered, 3 is actually the best game in the series. Curious to see how I like it.

Hopefully with renewed attention on Turok means Turok 1 and 2 will go on sale again sometime soon? They haven't been on sale in well over a year.

@lacaras4 perhaps, and maybe a trilogy package to boot?

I hope they keep multiplayer on Switch this time. It was absent in Turok 2, even split screen.

Remaster BattleTanx next, please.

I consider myself fairly knowledgable about gaming but somehow I had no idea this title existed. I thought Turok Evolution was Turok 3.

I'm glad this game finally is coming as unlike the other two Turok games before this, this one was originally N64 exclusive only. It'll be really awesome to have this for on the go play. Thanks Atari and Nightdive for bringing this to the modern era.

Somewhere between Turok 2 and Turok 3 alcohol became a serious problem for me and I didn't really game again until 2009, when I got (and stayed) sober. I love playing games from my "lost years". Looking forward to this one.

I wonder if we'll ever see Armorines since that was basically running on the Turok 2 (or 3?) engine...

Anyway, this is awesome. I actually never really played Turok 3 much, if at all. I absolutely adore 1 and 2 so this will finally give me a chance to give 3 a go. Plus, I will support Nightdive 'til the day I die.

@VR32X Expecting an active online from a console known to have bad online connections from games that aren't made by Nintendo shouldn't be surprising.

Now if you moved over to Steam, you'd see more active communities with at least a couple people playing some older games.

@mlt Be prepared for the Switch Online treatment like GoldenEye because that's what most likely would happen if Perfect Dark came to Switch.

Microsoft and Nintendo really wanting that subscription money.

People expecting an exponential increase from Turok 2 should be prepared for a brusque awakening. Turok 3 was far more linear and had much smaller maps than the T2 labyrinths.

I played both games more than 20 years ago (and I was a non english speaking 12 year old kid playing mature games thanks to inexistent parent supervision), but while I was never able to clear a single Turok 1-2 level, I was able to finish the whole of Turok 3 in a single weekend (not at 100% of course). And since back then we rented most of our N64 experiences, that made Turok 3 a far more enjoyable game than the first two for me.

Now do the TimeSplitters trilogy...

I wish they added an epilogue chapter so we could finally plug the sequel hook.

İ have only played Turok 2 on the Nintendo 64 and it was very hard. Turok 2 was a awesome game. Happy with Turok 3 announcement.

@russell-marlow
I'll be honest there. Even that, the NSO version of perfect dark I mean, would make me quite happy. At this point I start to worry that the rare games have not been anticipated at all for the n64 NSO which honestly would be pretty terrible if it is indeed the case. No trace of jet force gemini, perfect dark, Diddy kong and conker. How can they imagine releasing an n64 service without these. It's honestly beyond me.

So give me perfect dark on NSO, no problem here. Anything that would at least give a sign that they did not completely f this up.

This is exciting news. I only was able to complete Turok 2 with the Remaster. Back in the N64 era that game was a nightmare for me. I would always get so hopelessly lost and saves were few and far between. I loved Turok 1 but Turok 2 got put to the side (loved the black cartridge though).

I never played Turok 3 because I believe by that time I was really getting into online PC gaming with Unreal and Aliens vs Predator games. I may have to put this one on the backlog list. There's too much coming out for Switch before the end of the year!

120 FPS?!? I though 60 is the highest you could go.

@AG_Awesome Yessss, hopefully Rage Wars is up next for the Turok remasters.

About time. Love me some Turok.

"You're too loud." Such a badass game, can't wait.

STOP, not remaster anymore, new games, dont anyone have now new ideas to new games?, come on.

C'mon Just give me rage wars.

Be great if they did a physical release with all 3 games, Limited run is fine for people in USA but a hassle for us in the UK, well for me at least

Probably my favorite of the Turok games, and my second favorite FPS on the N64 (Quake II is my fave), i loved this game back in the day. I also think it's the best looking N64 game. Been waiting for this one from Nightdive since the day the Turok 2 remaster came out.
