Dealspwn: So far, Evolve hasn’t made the best of impressions. The Kraken is a clunky creature to control and it’s frequently unclear what it’s supposed to be doing when the objectives change. Playing as the medic is sadly boring unless you’re diving in under the monster’s feet wearing your invisibility cloak to revive another teammate who got too brave.
I can also see how until everyone gets really good at playing the game in the other roles, the medic is going to be the most important player in the team –or the one that clears up their mess and suicidal charges. If you’re going to play Evolve online with randomers, the possibility of having a moron in the medic’s shoes means you’re also probably fucked from the start.
I want to be more excited about Evolve than I am right now, but the great idea of four players taking on a massive boss character badly needs polish, or ironically given the name, a few more rounds of evolution as it’s currently slipping down the food chain.
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.
The premise of the game is just,
4 players against a monster and vicecersa and thats it, I won't waste a single a dime on this game, is destined to repetitiveness and boredoom.
The only thing good about this game is that it looks pretty damn good but is a shame such visuals are wasted with this mediocrity of core gameplay.
Game is fine. Been playing it for like 6 hours during the Alpha. Player just needs to not suck at the game.
I've played it several times now at various events and although I found the core gameplay to be pretty refreshing and the gunplay to be solid and entertaining, I think that logistics will be the issue. Human teams will be screwed without communication as teamwork is absolutely essential, and without hopping on with a group of five players, it'll be really interesting to see how matchmaking works.
I've played it and I thought it was amazing!
