GR-UK writes: We sat down for a chat with Turtle Rock Studios' Phil Robb to learn more about the work that has gone into Evolve and the recent delay.
"Coming out of all of our events and coming out of the alpha we saw a lot of things that were underscored," says Robb. "So we said 'you know what, people are confused we're not really doing a good job of communicating how this certain feature works'. We wanted time to be able to address that... at the end of the day it didn't really buy us a lot of time, because time flies and there's a lot of things that we want to do, but we felt like the extra couple of months would really allow us to put that last layer of spit shine on it and make it something that we can really feel good about."
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.
Fall 2014 is beginning to loose it luster with all these delays.
i all readly buy the game just have to wait for it to come out but i'm ok if they delay it they are making it a better game
That's fine by me. Just make a quality game.
