Co-op monster hunting FPS Evolve is in the dog house with its fans.
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.
Pre-order canceled and waiting for a $25.00 GOTY.
I'm done with this kind of nonsense.
I think a lot of dev studios need much better PR skills.
If Turtle Rock had said early in the development that they had a certain amount of budget that would allow them to create a set number of Hunters / Monsters for retail, and the rest would come later as DLC, then most people would have been OK with that.
Instead we get this sort of clusterscrewup, where it feels (even if it isn't true) that the dev / publisher is being a greedy soulless ass, especially at the prices listed so far.
They'll need to work hard to justify DLC. No DLC in L4D.
The problem is that many publishers tested the waters and saw that many consumers were gullible and dumb and even defended the dlc practice even when it was obvious they cut parts of certain games to sell as dlc and sold us less. Now they will keep milking until ppl wisen up and just dont buy this crap or support it.
Just how COD dlc doesnt get my money, Bs Battle Field expensive season passes doesnt get my money,and most dlc in other games (Destiny is another smh) I wont be even buying this mediocre game. As a matter of fact the last time i bought DLC was for Dark Souls 2 and that DLC was definitely warranted after i spent hundreds of hours on the base sp game.
The way publishers treat us like cash cows and the way they are always complaining about not making enough money after they sell us a 60 dollar game, 50 dollar season passes and dlc (raking in the money) they can go &uck themselves.
Whats crazy is that the biggest offenders are the publishers making the most money and profit like Activision!!!!, EA, etc.......
What's the problem? Buy the inevitable "complete/definitive/GOTY edition" a year later, half the price. Or if it flops, it will come to PS + later.
Since gamers eat this shit up, companies are so bold to release later "complete" versions not even hiding that they tried to sell you the game in pieces earlier.
