Turok: Origins

[Techwright]

I first encountered Turok the Dinosaur Hunter via the early 1990s Valiant Comics.  The Native American character was one of my favorite in the Valiant portfolio, which is saying something because I'm not a fan of man vs. dino stories, yet I liked his.  Sadly, those comics are gone, but Turok survived them (many comic houses have owned the character over the years) to create a popular cartridge game from '97 or '98.

 

He's back now in Turok: Origins.  The difference is that the new game is Co-Op, and...he has a DNA-evolving power suit?  Not sure that really fits into his lore.  Turok was always appealing because he was a Natural Origin hero: skill, courage, and classic Native American weaponry vs. speed, size, power, and savagery.

 

Here's the trailer:

Thanks. I was vaguely aware there were multiple games, but the late 90s game was the only one I was really familiar with.

 

Did any of those games have this crazy power suit that was mentioned in the new game?

i remember Turok 2, i played a TON of that monkey multiplayer mode in college lol, good times.  it would be awesome if COH had some version of that with the Rikti monkey form you randomly turn into when using the secondary mutation temp power.
