Patrick Posted September 16, 2008 See 2:25 The resemblance with Wolf3d is there, I just dont know if there was any "official" link between the two, other than the similar look and gameplay. 0 Share this post Link to post
Inferno Posted September 16, 2008 I remember this game for SNES. Oh man that was a while ago... But yeah the FPS parts do resemble Wolfenstein because of the rooms, but that's pretty much it. The combat parts in Jurassic Park were shitty (regarding the FPS scenarios), and since the movement was incredibly choppy it SUCKED ASS. As far as any link between the two is concerned, I woulden't be suprised if Jurrasic Park took the idea from Wolf3d for FPS parts in the game. 0 Share this post Link to post
magicsofa Posted September 16, 2008 It's not just the rooms that resemble wolf3d, the doors seem to operate the same way (occupying one whole wall space), and the AI although almost non existant seems similar. Those yellow guys seemed to be doing the zig-zag motion I remember being revolutionary in wolf3d :) 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah many of those elements resemble Wolf3d. One of the more notable things were the ceiling lights that lit up the floor as part of the sprite. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted September 17, 2008 Holy shit, I remember that game. Some friends "borrowed" it from another neighbourhood kid and I don't think ever returned it. I remember thinking the 3d parts looked like ass because I had played Doom by that point and I was just thinking "man this is outdated". That and the dilophosaurs (I think) made HURR faces after spitting at you. 0 Share this post Link to post

geekmarine Posted September 17, 2008 Come on, dinosaurs + FPS = instant win... Unless you're Trespasser... Or one of the Turok sequels... Or the Carnivores games... Okay damnnit, there's a void here that needs to be filled - we need a friggin' dinosaur-killing FPS! 0 Share this post Link to post
Patrick Posted September 17, 2008 I think a dinosaur doom mod is in order. Time to find a way to rip these sprites. 0 Share this post Link to post
Death-Destiny Posted September 17, 2008 I remember playing this really sweet monster hunt map for UT where your team has to fight dinosaurs. Your team had to travel back in time to stop the Skaarj from changing history. To access the Skaarj base in the past, you had to travel across the landscape fighting all kinds of dinosaurs to find a bunch of relics. That map was a blast, but I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. =( It may be some good inspiration for a Doom mod if anyone else here plays the original UT monster hunt mods. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted September 17, 2008 There was a bad-ass Shadow Warrior "mod" called Park that was based on Jurrasic Park, it rules face. 0 Share this post Link to post

Okay damnnit, there's a void here that needs to be filled - we need a friggin' dinosaur-killing FPS! Turok was awesome. Aside from having many bugs, every single weapon kicked serious ass. Turok also had a strong sense of movement, like how the camera angle swayed into the direction you were moving in, the screen bobbing up and down gave a 'running' feeling. Turok was one of the best games that come to mind that gave that feeling. If Turok wasn't loaded with bugs it would definitely be at the top of my list of favorite games. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted September 17, 2008 Bugs? I thought Turok (at least the n64 version) was very stable. Turok 2 was really great but they progressively got dumber and boring. 0 Share this post Link to post
Coopersville Posted September 17, 2008 I forgot how awesome the music in Jurassic Park really was. And Turok's only fault was only being an early 3D* FPS game, and not knowing the perils of putting jumping puzzles in them. That, and maybe the fog. *Edit 0 Share this post Link to post
MmM Posted September 17, 2008 I've got that JP SNES game, but I never really got very far in it--I found the gameplay to be pretty frustrating. I agree the FPS segments are very Wolfenstein-like. Personally, I preferred the Sega Genesis side-scrolling JP games to the SNES one. I'm also a fan of Turok. Turok 2 was too ambitious for its own good--the levels go on-and-on forever, and if you get to the end without completing your objectives, you've got to go back and do it all over again. The thing crashed on my N64 many a time as well, especially with the RAM pack installed. Turok 3 and Rage Wars are a lot of fun though. I've got the PS2 Turok too, but I never finished it, got past the Pterodactyl flying segment and then got involved with another game and never went back to it. 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted September 17, 2008 Watching that video, not only is the Wolfenstein 3D "influence" clear, but the top down views also bear a rather uncanny resemblance to Chaos Engine. 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted September 17, 2008 I didn't say that Turok itself was bad, just the numerous dreadful sequels that followed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Death-Destiny Posted September 17, 2008 Turok 2 for the N64 was sweet. I loved the line-up of enemies and the environments, and the weapons and combat were fun. It didn't even have that many glitches. I thought the levels were so nicely done that I didn't really mind replaying them to complete an objective so I'd get to explore them more. Turok 3 sucked. It had unplayable lag on it's own system, the N64, even with the RAM expansion pack, which is pretty much an auto fail. Turok 1 wasn't half bad either, but wasn't nearly as good as Turok 2, IMO. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted September 18, 2008 I think it was turok evolution that I have somewhere for Xbox, buggy animations happen regularly, and its possible to get stuck underwater in some maps, or stuck between a tree and a cliff, the movement was pretty faulty. But at least it looked cool. I've played the PC version of Turok that was originally for N64, i tend to remember jumping from platform to platform being pretty frustrating. I dunno if it was just hard or that it was actually not letting me land on platforms that I was directly aiming for. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted September 18, 2008 Yeah, Turok was pretty awesome. Sadly, the second one was just annoying. I mean, running through an entire level for several hours of gameplay, then reaching the end and the game saying you can't go forward because you missed something WAY back near the beginning...what the fuck is that shit? 0 Share this post Link to post
