Robert Workman (Prima Games): Valve helped define online multiplayer with its fast-paced co-op zombie blast-a-thon, Left 4 Dead. That said, it’s no surprise the developer behind that mega hit and its sequel, Turtle Rock Studios, is at it again with the forthcoming Evolve.
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.
Last months Game Informer had a really good article on Evolve, it looks like a really interesting concept and game, looking forward to it.
I just remembered hearing about this game last year during the THQ bankruptcy thing. I was paying attention 'cause I wanted to see what would happen to the Kingdom of Amalur IP, unfortunately it turns out nothing happened with that.
Take-Two did outbid Turtle Rock for this Evolve IP though, not sure what that means but at least the game's still being made, so that's a good thing.
