It's a long time I was wondering what does make Turok games so 'special' that their prices never fall.
We are talking of 2 very old games (1997 and 1998) I played on N64 for the first time.
But on all platform (GOG, Steam), they are always around 20$.. even during sales they are about half-price discounted...
And in anycase 10 euros I think it's a bit too much for such old games... there are much 'better' games which cost way less..

so just wondering if there's a prticular reason I'm missing...

You can find the answer in the store description.

"Turok 2: Seeds of Evil returns to the PC! The sequel to the hit game Turok is now available, featuring a host of enemies, weapons, missions, and locations. Remastered for today’s computers using a new engine with improved graphics"

Same business practice as with other HD remasters and remakes.

I can partially agree... but imho they cannot cost like Bio-Shock/Bio-Shock 2 remastered...

Of course they can, the games can cost whatever the consumer is willing to pay.

The games are on sale often enough so you could get both of them dirth cheap with a little patience.

One of the guys from Night Dive answered this on the Steam forums some time ago (around the time the remaster of Turok 2 was nearing release, I believe).

Basically, the prices are high because they have to split the revenue from all sales across multiple companies who have a stake in the Turok IP (amazingly it isn't just Night Dive but Valiant and even Acclaim as well if I remember correctly).

As to the discounts - wait it out if you don't intend to pay asking price. Turok took years to drop below $10USD but it did happen.

They also won't sell as much these games so they have to recoup the costs and turn in a decent profitmargin for the investors.

Edit:
I still hope Nightdive will bring out Turok 3: Evolution and Turok 2008.

And this makes me fear a rerelease of N.O.L.F.
Even GoG was not able to get through that licence hell yet.

somewhat nostalgia, and also because nightdive fucking nailed it when it came to modern computers and consoles. wasn't a fan of how seeds of evil performed on more than one computer but maybe I set the graphic settings wrong? might just end buying the turok bundle on xbox just because.(also, someone mentioned in a thread here on GOG about them putting turok 2 on a different engine?) even so, I still have nothing but praise for nightdive. not even a fan of system shock but I want to see what they do with it.

different note, imagine playing a N64 and using the c buttons, then using a mouse for aiming. shit is night and day. also you can play it on a toaster/potato computer.

Both remasters were done on Samuel Villareal's KEX Engine.

then why did seeds of evil seem terrible on all my computers? it had to be something I did...

No idea. Performance issues weren't uncommon with it in general though.
