Acclaim Entertainment will soon be releasing a new installment to the first person shooter series of Turok. The game will be released on the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. Current set release date is February 5, 2008. It is also set to be released for the PC around the spring. The game is developed by Propaganda Games and will be published/distributed by Disney Interactive Studios using the Touchstone banner.

Gameplay
Turok will follow similarity of most first person shooters with a basic focus of survival in the prehistoric times. You will be fighting animals and humans that are under the leadership of a man named “Kane”. The dinosaurs will be a neutral threat in the game as they will just be wandering through the game not as a direct enemy. You will even have the ability to use the dinosaurs as a tool by luring them towards battles and enemies. You can lure the dinosaurs using things such as flares and gunshots. The dinosaurs will practically attack any person in the game. A new feature in the game is “stealth mechanic”. Using this new feature you will be able to silently kill enemies without being detected. You will be able to use such weapons as a bow or a knife. This new feature is completely optional so do you do not have to use them to complete the game. The game promises that players will have creative weapons that will keep the player attracted to the game. They have decided to create this release of the game using the Unreal engine for its flexibility and multiplayer capabilities.

Multiplayer
In the new release of Turok there will be the ability to have online multiplayer matches. The online multiplayer mode has been confirmed as only utilizing the “Team Deathmatch” mode it is however expected to include Deathmatch and Team Dinosaur Hunting. The total players will be up to 16. They have added random spawning dinosaurs throughout various locations in the levels into the multiplayer modes. This adds the factor of not only your online enemies but dinosaurs at the same time. The multiplayer modes will also include a Capture the Flag mode which will also include one that has dinosaur attractants in the flag. The game may disappoint manyplayers by not featuring a split screen multiplayer mode.

Demo
The demo for the game can now be downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace as of January 29th. You can also find the demo in the February issue of the official Xbox Magazine.
