Man I'm freaking excited for this game, I'm really liking the next gen attempts at being different, now of course in the past games like this have been made but come on now not to this extend. Now if they show a collectors edition I'll be all set!

Same, I dug around and now I'm hyped for this game.

What I've found indicates a skilled combat game with the 3 men versus 1 monster. Each monster is unique and evolves over the length of the hunt and that each hunter has his own unique play style/gear.

Gonna be a nice change of pace for an FPS.

I cannot wait to be the monster >:D

For games like L4D that require close co-operation, 4 is a perfect number. Any less and things would go straight downhill with as little as one bad player and any more and you'd face the danger of matches that aren't full often enough.

I'm actually really interested in this game. People shouldn't be dismissing as just another shooter. Read the GI article and you'll see why.

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.

jznrpg219d ago

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator219d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal219d 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.

MeteorPanda219d ago

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

The_Blue219d ago

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

‘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."

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

Germaximus1309d 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.

LordoftheCritics1309d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
