As part of Gamescom Nightdive Studios has announced a remaster for both Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion and Star Wars: Dark Forces. Both remastered versions have loads of upgrades to bring them forward into the modern era of consoles and PCs. This includes things like 4K gameplay and support for 120 frames per second.
Of course, there’s updated support for modern controllers too. Which was a must-have since both games are coming out on multiple current platforms. Including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Neither game has a confirmed release date. But you can wishlist the Turok 3 remaster on Steam right now if you want a heads up when it becomes available for PC players.
For Star Wars: Dark Forces, there’s a handful of improvements according to the trailer. One of these is updated cutscenes that look like they come from a much newer game. Nightdive even shows off comparison shots to display the differences and really drive home how much of an improvement they’ve made. The remaster also includes updated content. Star Wars: Dark Forces is a first-person shooter originally released in 1995. So this remastered version should feel like quite the revival when it releases.
The Turok 3 remaster includes new features
Dark Forces may have updated cutscenes, but it sounds like Turok 3 may be getting more feature updates. According to IGN (via engadget), there will be new features for the game that include updated lighting and rendering, a new heads-up display view, and a new area in the game to explore.
There will also be features included that are specific to certain platforms. Additionally, players can earn trophies or achievements depending on the platform they buy the game on. The Turok 3 remaster is coming soon just like the Dark Forces remaster, and it’ll be launching on all the same platforms. Which includes PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
