Just a personal opinion on the Evolve alpha, listing the good things, bad things, and the massive amount of content that Turtle Rock gives us!
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.
Images of a toilet come to mind.
Going to try again this morning. Played two games yesterday, one as hunter one as monster and both were over in 2-3 minutes. I was hoping for a more epic experience, so will try a few more games in search of that.
It's well made.
The only thing that could let this down is the actual concept.
I tried two matches. I had absolutely no idea what to do. There was a giant dome around us the first match. I couldn't figure out how to find the monster. Second match I played as a monster. I could only hit even though I thought you could throw rocks and breath fire. It ended when a dome appeared that trapped me between the edge of a cliff an the dome and I couldn't move. I was really looking forward to this game but not anymore.
I think the only thing that could hold this back is if you get someone playing the monster that is not very good and just dies too fast.
Here is a cool 60fps video showing a game that lasts about 10 mins, although they do spend a lot of time running around looking for it...
