February Cover Revealed – Evolve

Gameinformer " Few independent studios sport the multiplayer pedigree of Turtle Rock Studios. After years of working on Valve's Counter-Strike series, the California-based developer created Left 4 Dead, a post-apocalyptic shooter that redefined cooperative gaming and landed the number-one spot on Game Informer's Top 30 Co-op Games of All Time list.

hmm....

' multiplayer-focused shooter' - yeah thx.

but to give it a chance, i like the name & i am a fan of sci-fi... but i think its just a generic funshooter in 1st-person... i will wait for screens & infos

Abash4513d ago

I was expecting a much bigger reveal for this month's GI but I'm somewhat content, Evolve sounds awesome

raresteak4513d ago

Sounds boring.

"What next-gen is all about" and there you go, a shooter concept off L4D.

Flip out, people. Yay.

OlgerO4513d ago

This is from the developer that developed left for dead 1 and 2

redwin4513d ago

If they add a multyplayer component like counter strike this will be an awesome game. But I want that multyplayer . I just want the must return for my $.

nope1114513d ago

Even if it's good, the fact that it is multiplayer focused is concerning.
multiplayer games nowadays fade into irrelevance months after release, mostly due to dying communities.

I blame CoD and BF

truefan14513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

Well I happen to prefer online shooters so this fit right into the collection. Titanfall, Destiny, Evolve, and then Halo. I love it!!!!

SynGamer4513d ago

Was expecting something bigger as well. Just give us Left 4 Dead 3 already (even though Valve owns that...?)

kingfetish174513d ago

Damnit, I was hoping for the next Red Dead reveal. Sick of all these sci-fi shooters.

sobekflakmonkey4513d ago

Personally....this made me angry.

"The sci-fi multiplayer-focused shooter pits a four-player crew of alien hunters against a separate player-controlled monster that grows larger and more powerful over the course of matches."

That's a fuckn bullshit idea in my personal opinion...if I had to decide whether or not I would buy this game based of this entire article I would most likely not buy the game...

lolCHILLbro4513d ago

How can you ALL be so picky? we have a brand new IP being announced and we all cry about it, these guys MADE LEFT4DEAD! have a little respect, this IS not your typical Military shooter people, jeeez bunch of babies on here

FACTUAL evidence4512d ago

Thought I was going to see pokemon references.

Ares84HU4512d ago

This was the big announcement???

Hahahahahahahaha are they serious?

3-4-54512d ago

an FPS game?....No way not this gen

MRMagoo1234512d ago (Edited 4512d ago )

I cant "UGGGGGHHHHH" loud enough, i am sooooooooooooooooooo sick of FPS i cant express how much i want them to all die and go away.

Why not make a really exciting new open world game, with a name like evolve it could have been a game kinda like spore or something fun like that, but alas another f@cking fps.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ <-----that's the only flip they get from this announcement imo.

Biggest anti climax ever

Dee_914512d ago

Yea pretty much agree with everyone else.
Not really excited for another fps,and it being an scifi shooter makes it sound even more generic.Even if it turns out to be a good game, which it more than likely will.I am pretty much over FPS games for the next year or 2.Bring on the racers, tps and rpg games for me.

BattleAxe4512d ago

Steam purchase on day one!

N4OGs4512d ago

@nope111

this gen everyone with a brain will be getting the ps4. if everyone gets the ps4 multiplayer communitys wont die out just because the sheer number of people playing on that one system. ps4 destroying the xbox one, wii u etc in sales number. ps4 community will be even bigger and more versatile then any gaming community out there this gen. thats why I support it and hope people stop trying to get a crappy xbox one trying to live in the past. ps4 is what facebook did to myspace. its the new huge community on the rise that anyone who is anybody or a gamer will be getting. PS4 and steam ftw!

zeee4512d ago

http://media1.gameinformer....

Is it me or does it look like all the guys are in that monster's ass?

mikeslemonade4512d ago

Well it could have been worst if they are making L4D 3. Should be a fun game.

KAEM74512d ago

L4D is amazing. If they manage to make a quality product like that again with a new setting, I'm all for it! Not a BIG flip out reveal, but just good news in my opinion. If anyone ever announces they will have a big reveal do not, i repeat DO NOT start wishing/hoping for some fantasy game or sequel. 999 times out of a 1000 you are going to be disappointed. and even if you did do that, please don't start bitching about how it's not what you hoped for.

Autodidactdystopia4512d ago

So crisis 3 literally comes out with a game called predator mode, and it sucks.

This seems along those lines. boring after a few games.

it is pretty much the same thing. just different "shaped" characters

Dark114513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

But it does looks good.

sobotz4513d ago

Keep your expectation low dude, Colonial Marines did look awe-some too at E3 trailer before, I really thought it's gonna be a Dead Space-caliber of terror.

Talidan4513d ago

@sobotz
People need to stop comparing every good-looking preview to A:CM. Yeah, almost the entire population of gamers was burned by the crap that was released, but it's a rare exception.

Gearbox idiotically passed off development to terrible devs. It probably would have been good if they kept it, but they didn't care.

In this instance, we're seeing that Turtle Rock is actually the developer, backed by 2K, both have a good record. It could a subpar game, we won't know until we play, but I doubt we'll be getting an outstanding demo video, only to find the final product is nothing like we saw.

sobotz4513d ago

I'm not saying this one will go the same route as Colonial Marines, but after that $60 garbage promises, I learned my lesson. This looks promising, but I need to keep my expectation low, it's not like I won't buy it if it's turn out awesome

ginsunuva4513d ago

about 50% of games that sucked looked good at announcement.

antz11044512d ago

So only 5 person multiplayer? I hope not.

-Foxtrot4513d ago

Well at least co-op people have more games so they don't whine on to tack them in single player games like Elder Scrolls or Hitman etc

MestreRothN4G4513d ago

Yup. Another shooter in a sea of shooters.

How long until they call this "the CoD killer?"

MRMagoo1234512d ago

They need to just kill FPS in general for a few years at least imo, i cant be the only one completely sick to death of shooters all the time.

Shabutie134512d ago

So don't play them. Not that difficult. There are more non-FPS games released every week than these games you despise so much. Why should an entire fan base be left without something because you are upset that the industry isn't catering to your specific needs? You are what is wrong with gaming.

Also, why is it that a developer that makes first person shooters, with a fantastic track record mind you, needs to go into a different genre? At least these aren't CoD rip offs. I was having a good morning, but your ignorance bothered me.

MestreRothN4G4512d ago

Ok, sorry, try not to cry. More.

The problem is not "shooters exist". It is "mindless shooters dominate".

And you know why they dominate. You do know specifically which franchise they are following, right?

Derekvinyard134513d ago

I think he meant your suppose to FLIP to the next page

frostypants4513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

I'm excited if it is in the spirit of L4D.

That said, this cover didn't warrant the hype.

Amplitude4513d ago

at first i thought it was a new Resistance game. Then i remembered there isnt gonna be any more Resistance games. Then i remembered the servers were going down and now im sad.

kingduqc4512d ago

I had ton of fun in l4d, I'm sure they'll do a great job. Probably worth the 7$ I'll pay for it on steam.

Angeljuice4512d ago

@Sackboy

Yeah, four human hunters versus a giant, ever growing player controlled monster is sooooo generic. /S

DeadlyFire4512d ago

This is Turtle Rock. One game from these guys created a wave of Zombie shooters. I am very interested in seeing how they top this game off and the Sci-Fi shooter wave that follows it.

Kayant4513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

:( Another Shooter nevertheless it does sound interesting. Let's see how this develops...

Love that this is Co-op focused.

DeadlyFire4512d ago

Couch co-op or just online co-op. Cause I personally believe its pointless to have 4 player co-op without some living room buddies.

Crossbones4513d ago

This was to make us flip. *SMH*

frostypants4513d ago

Yeah. I'm intrigued by the game, but this isn't earth shattering.

iamnsuperman4513d ago

Now because nothing really major was announced. I am a little annoyed at them but more myself for believing their trash

torchic4513d ago

when Stone Cold Steve Austin arrives on his quadbike and throws a few beers your way.

that's when you "flip" everyone.

-Foxtrot4513d ago (Edited 4513d ago )

Wow...kind of of disappointed

Not something to flip out over, another 4 player co-op shooter where you battle countless enemies, nothing special to be honest. He made it sound like it was going to be an old school sequel or something

Oh well...should of known better.

Dark114513d ago

Turtle Rock is amazing studio and L4D is one of best Co-op game ever .. so this a great news.

-Foxtrot4513d ago

Didn't say it wasn't but it's nothing to get hyped over

Shabutie134512d ago

You did say that actually, just not in the same words. It is something to get hyped over, if you are into those type of games. A lot of people are, hence why L4D (even before the free Christmas day special) had a constant 10,000 people on at any time of day. That is a pretty good amount for a several year old game.

ajkula4512d ago

@shabutie it's something FOR YOU to be hyped over, @#%$@!
It wouldnt had annoyed me that much if you just didnt comment a bad way above to someone else to keep his opinion subjective before you stupidly did the same just now,,,

Report: Evolve 2 Was Once in Development, Concept Art Reveals Scrapped Sequel

It has been recently revealed by an artist that a sequel to the 2015 title Evolve was in the works. However, this project wouldn't last long.

jznrpg299d ago

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator299d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal299d ago

Was this game ahead of its time? A few years later games like Dead By Daylight, Friday the 13th and other asymmetrical games exploded onto the scene.

MeteorPanda299d ago

if lm not mistaken it started the asymmetrical pvp matches. Evolves logo was a nod to their concept.

The_Blue299d ago

They should have because I played the first one when it was already dead

Evolve or Die: The final days of the follow-up to Left 4 Dead

Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.

‘Evolve: Stage 2’ is back from the dead as peer-to-peer servers come back online

From NME: "Evolve: Stage 2 had its multiplayer servers shut down back in 2018, but today players are once again able to matchmake and join peer-to-peer multiplayer games.

Several months ago, peer-to-peer functionality was lost for Evolve Legacy, which was the only way fans of the series could play with friends. Upon a multitude of players reaching out to publisher 2K, the issue was eventually fixed earlier in July. It seems 2K have gone a step further now, and reinstated peer-to-peer and matchmaking functionality for Evolve: Stage 2 after four years."

MIDGETonSTILTS171388d ago

^^this, I have so many awesome skins on Xbox that I’d rather not lose

Germaximus1388d ago

Yes so far because it's just the servers alone coming on and the console version never had the free-to-play update.

I imagine if they find people playing the PC version and enough players are enjoying it then they'd probably reconsider opening console as well but I wouldn't count on it.

The game was epic as a monster. Hunters were really boring to play as to me.

LordoftheCritics1388d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
