Knew the game was gonna be good while you haters hated on it when first revealed lol

FamilyGuy4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

Whaaa the fuuuu...

I never heard of this game or at least never paid attention to it but damn that looks fun. I just went from oblivious to interested in one video.

I really wasn't interested in many other multiplatorm titles, glad there's another good looking game coming to both consoles.

OC_MurphysLaw4483d ago

Game definitely jumped up a few rungs on my "anticipation meter".

iiorestesii4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

This looks ultimately satisfying. I was sold when the birds rustled out of the trees.

AngelicIceDiamond4483d ago

It definitely capture that "next gen intensity". The lush of the plantation, rustling in the bushes and trees.

Spotting the monster at random. L4D seem to do similar things but seems like on next gen its more real time and random than L4D.

SilentNegotiator4483d ago

Looks like L4D without pouncing/grabbing, which I'm not sure how to feel about (because pouncing/grabbing was an effective method of balancing the game).

Well, anyway, cautious optimism.

They had me at "creators of left 4 dead" when they announced the game.
Now, after seeing the gameplay videos, pre-order locked down.

ABizzel14483d ago

Me too, but the 4 v 1, makes this looks like Survivors vs. a Tank.

And Tanks are easily dispatched with no other infected around (especially a w/o boomer) or no cars / etc...

The monster has more attack options, but the hunters have more maneuverability as well. I would have liked it more if it were 4 v 4, but we'll have to see.

Rivitur4483d ago

Long arms, Haymakers, and curve rocks that's all you need to wreck shit with a Tank on l4d who needs support.

OT: The Goliath is only one of the player controlled monsters you can choose from so can't wait to see the other options.

ABizzel14483d ago

@Rivitur

A tank on L4D gets murdered without support, or cars. Which often results in the tank finding something to climb up on and toss rocks, eventually lose control, or the survivors running back to an open field where the Tank gets murdered.

FamilyGuy4483d ago (Edited 4483d ago )

Pro-tip:

The first thing you do is kill the medic.

Also, the "tank" isn't alone in this game. There are other creatures seen that could attack the humans with you.

Rivitur4483d ago

Den if survivors. LOS the curve rock always come in handy also the number of times I've seen a tank go in and wipe on confogl is a ton.

You pre-order games that easily?

You know there's no need to pre-order games anymore these days. They don't run out of stock like they used to a decade ago.

aviator1894483d ago

Well, evolve does have pre-order bonuses, I am a huge, huge fan of the original left 4 dead, and I love the idea behind evolve, so yeah...I pre-ordered.
If I see something I like, I'll pre-order it. I can always just cancel it if I end up seeing the game becoming something I don't like.

iiorestesii4483d ago

Why do you pre-order? Was an incentive announced?

GortJester4483d ago

What incentive does he need other than he knows he'll pick up the game when it comes out. Some people just like to put money on stuff they know they are going to buy. What's the deal with people hating on pre-ordering? It's his/her money, who cares!

chinlu4483d ago

People pre order so they can slowly pay off a game without dropping a huge chunk of change at a single time. Why you need that explained to you I'll never guess.

tigertron4483d ago

I pre-ordered it because the gameplay videos and the trailer looked awesome and also Shopto were including extras.

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.

jznrpg304d ago

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator304d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal304d 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.

MeteorPanda304d ago

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

The_Blue304d 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."

MIDGETonSTILTS171393d ago

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

Germaximus1393d 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.

LordoftheCritics1393d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
