‘Turok’ Makes His Remastered Way to XBox One
In all honesty, I was never into the Turok series on the Nintendo 64. I was still in the midst of Quake (and later, Half-Life) to be bothered. Plus I never liked that controller. But now, thanks in large part to Night Dive Studios, I was able to revisit the PC versions of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter and Turok 2, and I can see that I missed out on some pretty fun shooters from the late 90s. And for XBox One users, now they too can enjoy these remasters of retro gaming goodness.
That’s right, both Turok and Turok 2 are now available for $20 USD each for purchase on the Microsoft Store. As mentioned, these are the remasters of the original games. Night Dive have gone back and given the games a graphical overhaul, as well as tweaks in the controls and in the framerates. To get an idea of what this overhaul entailed, you can see the differences on the PC version here for Turok, and here for Turok 2.
Unfortunately, you can’t purchase the games in a bundle for the XB1, but hopefully Microsoft will rectify that in the very near future.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
