I don’t usually allow myself to get too hyped up on a game. It generally leads to me being really bitter about the end product (Colonial Marines, Too Human, etc). However, there’s something about Evolve’s concept, and idea that makes me want to hype it up, but also in the back of mind I have a feeling it will be phenomenal.
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.
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.
if lm not mistaken it started the asymmetrical pvp matches. Evolves logo was a nod to their concept.
Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.
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."
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.
I just hate that so many new games don't have a true SP experience, but instead are going some hybrid that is supposedly a "better experience" when played with others, or have the "story" built into a MP-only experience, like Titanfall. I'm still on the fence about Destiny, because I've got a feeling they're being dodgy about the SP portion of the game, because it's limited in scope/content somehow.
Evolve looks great. The Game Informer coverage was awesome.
Innovation FTW... I love the idea of a few vs. many approach in a new environment/concept.
I still have an idea kicking around in my brain for a totally dynamic, small environment 1v1 or 2v2 FPS. Possibly even a 3rd person mode. Win I win the lottery or come into a massive influx of cash, I will make it happen. Until then, I'll enjoy Evolve.
I'm really excited about this game really like the concept. Now my friends need to hurry up and get a PS4
I'm glad so many people are interested in this now. Huge turnaround from the day almost everyone completely shot this game down without knowing what the game was even about.
