I almost fell for the Halo hype when I first played it. I can't stand reading that Halo was the one that did it, it's bullshit. Goldeneye and Turok were what put console FPS on the map. I will always resent Halo at least a little bit.
#TUROK 2 MODS FULL#
This is part of the reason Halo will never have my full respect. Especially considering how poorly their own multiplayer for Prime 2 turned out. So the actual Metroid Prime lineage goes back to Turok: Rage Wars mostly. Also found two people who ended up at working on DOOM 2016.įrom Turok 3 there is Don Hogan (senior artist on the Prime trilogy), Neil Hill is now at Ubisoft programming Far Cry games, Joe Ries animating for Rockstar (Payne 3, GTA V, Red Dead series) and that's about it. Oh hey, random fun discovery, additional programmer from Acclaim, Stevan Hird, ended up at Arkane and contributed to all the Dishonoreds and Prey stuff since then. 2 and Halo 4, Andy O'Neil who was technical lead on the Prime trilogy (most recently worked on Titanfall 1), are the only three guys to jump over to Retro Studios.

Along with him, Francisco Javier Lafuente (engineering), and Jason Behr (who actually was the audio guy on Turok 2!) who is credited for design on Rage Wars and went on to work on the entire Prime trilogy and afterwards did F.E.A.R. The ears-perking up names come in with Turok: Rage Wars which was lead by none other than Mark Pacini, for example. Most of the peoplefrom Turok 2 still working in the industry up until at least recently landed at Disney/Junction Point, Blizzard, Bioware Austin, and places like that. Actually nobody but one person from Turok 2 ended up at Retro working on everything from Prime 3 onwards (Andy Schwalenberg left after Tropical Freeze).
