00:07I'm Josh Bridge, and I'm the lead level designer on Turok.
00:14I think this time we've made Turok a lot more dramatic.
00:18We've been able to use next-gen technology and really push the visuals,
00:23really focus on creating believable dinosaurs, believable environments, and believable everything.
00:30Our AI system and our dinosaurs, we were able to bring them to life through an incredible amount of detailed
00:37animation
00:37and a really detailed AI decision tree.
00:41You know, you can have really great AI code, but if it isn't represented with dynamic animation, who cares?
00:47You know, it's a spreadsheet walking by.
00:49We have multiple AI that are part of, like, an ecosystem.
00:52They choose who to fight and who to avoid.
00:55When you're playing the game, you actually don't have to kill everything.
00:59If you agitate them, they'll actually start fighting each other, just dynamically.
01:03You know, like, if you want to go in and dual-wield your guns and just go in and guns
01:08blazing and run and gun the scene,
01:09the AI will react appropriately to that.
01:12The enemy soldiers take cover, they flank, they try to circle you, and they're really, you know, they're a force
01:16to contend with.
01:18But if you want to go in really slow and then you use a silent weapon like a bow and
01:22an arrow or the knife,
01:23there you go, the AI are reacting appropriately.
01:26They didn't hear that kill.
01:28Putting all that together really allows for you to play how you want.
01:32My favorite level has anything to do with the T-Rex in it.
01:36He's this huge creature with these big teeth and chomping at you and chasing you,
01:41and you feel like this little pea running around.
01:44And flip that from being hunted to hunter is really empowering.
01:48I love those moments in the game.
02:01I love those moments in the game.
