Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Log entries
- This first person shooter controls weird with the Nintendo 64 controller, right C-buttons to move, the joystick (which is controlled with the left thumb) to look. And just to make it harder, the vertical look is inverted, seemingly with no option to change it. The game seems very inspired by Quake, from the weapon selection to the sound effects, but distinguishes itself with some really great animation.
- I got a bit nauseous from playing Turok. I wonder if it's the field of view, the control scheme, or the hangover from yesterday...
- Completed level 1/8. I still get naseous, it might be related to the subtle head tilt, which actually looks really good. All the camera animation seems really modern and well done. However, the game is full of first person jump puzzles, and its super frustrating.
