IM PLAYIN takes a look at Evolve, the up and coming FPS / Survival game from Turtle Neck and 2K Games.
"When I made the change from 360 to Playstation, there was one title I thought I really would hate not to see again, and that was Left 4 Dead. I had spent hours, if not consecutive days, on the game. With a great deal of that time being played as a part of the now IM PLAYIN crew. Yes, I know if they had brought out another one it would be available on PC or possibly the previous gen, however, not having a good enough spec rig, I didn’t want to even go down that route. And now being a next gen sucker, I would find it difficult to warrant buying it for my previous console. So I made the change accepting that. Now I couldn’t be happier with the recent news of Evolve, and boy does it look sweet, both in game play and in the graphics department."
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.
looking forward to this game. looks like something me and my friends would play a lot of
This is the one where 1 player controls the boss monster right? I really hope they add much more than just attacks and specials or whatever for the 'monster'. What I mean is I'd love them to include certain types of emotes like growls, roars and even taunts.
Anyone who's played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate might know what I mean, there's a monster called Zinogre that stops attacking for a bit and just prowls left and right while looking at you, its like its sizing you up and trying to figure out its next course of action. So damn cool.
