Turok Patch Will Remove Controversial Team-Kill Feature

The controversial feature in the upcoming Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game Turok that rewards players for killing their teammates will be removed with a patch, says publisher Touchstone.

While Turok will ship with the "Grab Bag" achievement (or accomplishment) intact, the patch will be available online on February 5, the day the game hits store shelves.

The PlayStation 3 patch will also add support for rumble controllers like the upcoming Dual Shock 3 and for 1080i television displays.

"The "Grab Bag" achievement was to reward players for killing "at least 1 creature, 1 enemy, 1 teammate, and yourself" in a single online match of the first-person shooter."

It's only one kill. It would be a different story if it said kill 5 teammates in a row or something but come on. There are plenty of other lame achievements out there (Clothes Horse in Dead Rising and True Identity in Vegas are examples) Why is this one that bad? One team kill is all it's asking for, and if it's THAT hard, just think of it like a home run, kill the other 3, then kill a teammate last.

There will probably be jackasses who want to just go kill all their team mates.

Iron Man 26610d ago

It's a good thing that this achievement will be removed,I f*cking hate people who kill their own team mates;)

ben8066610d ago

it needs a patch to support 1080i?

BrianC62346609d ago

And the patch adds rumble support. That's pretty dumb to need a patch by now. The DS3 has been out a while in Japan. All new games should have rumble support from day one. No reason for this garbage. I'm not impressed with what I've been reading about Turok. It will probably be a mediocre game.

eddierivera6610d ago

and so I dont care about the patch, I only use 720p so, but besides that, I shouldnt even worry about it cause I played the demo and was turned off, I'm not getting the game, so yea, no problems here

Nightdive Studios Quietly Uploaded A Native PS5 Version Of The Original Turok, Now Runs At 120FPS

After releasing remasters of all three original Turok games, starting with the first two games in 2021 and then Turok 3 in 2023, Nightdive Studios has quietly updated the first Turok game with a native PS5 update.

Beyond the bug fixes and general cleaning-up that comes with most patches these days, the big thing about the PS5 version for the original Turok is that if you have a TV that can support it, you’ll be able to play Turok at 120FPS now.

Turok: A Game Series in Need of a Reboot

The Turok series has been languishing without a new title for more than a decade. It's about time we got a reboot.

closed_account1018d ago

I'm all for it, I loved the originals... I just don't think, just like w the original Prey, that the main character can survive in this current political climate. Native characters seem untouchable at the moment. I think it can be shown the right respect, but there's always someone getting upset about something these days, they would find a way to cancel it.

BriBri1018d ago

I can't think of a game that's been cancelled because of the race of the main character.

Vits1018d ago

Honestly, I would prefer if they just ported/remastered Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion to modern platforms. So we could have access to the "original 3 games". Because I don't see how to really reboot Turok. It's a product of its time being a mixture of platforming/fps and puzzle.

And I really don't see all those elements being preserved on a Reboot.

lukasmain1018d ago

I would prefer Dino Crisis remake from Capcom. Still, a remade Turok would get my attention.

Forgets about the 2008 reboot*
I'd rather have a sequel to Turok 3, tbh.

GoodGuy091018d ago (Edited 1018d ago )

We unfortunately do not have enough quality dino games. Theres Horizon but they're robots, and Monster Hunter that I can only think of. I'd like to see Turok make a comeback some day.
