"Earlier this month, Turtle Rock Studios and 2K Games released an Xbox One exclusive beta for their upcoming Evolve video game. This unique 4v1 first-person shooter generated several mixed reviews from both fans and critics alike shortly after the Big Alpha launched late last year.
After spending more time with the game, I now feel the need to chime in with my experiences and give you all a better idea of what to expect from the final product."
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.
I stayed away from the hype and finally took a look at a round of this game myself. I love the idea. Titles like this and Gigantic have me excited for competitive play. Definitely.
I remember playing the PC alpha (or was it Beta? idk).. It's a cool concept, but it gets boring after a while, and the enjoyment is all dependent on the other people playing.
This games sounds great and seems like it could have some potential when more content is added. But, we'll have to wait and see. Therefore, I'm gonna hold off on the game for a bit.
