Fix your title and/or blurb. Is it 30GB or 3GB for the patch?

Wait, I'm confused... Is it a 30 GB or 3GB patch? The title and article itself say two different things. 30 would be ridiculous, lol...

bouzebbal4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

30GB for loading times?
i mean even 3KB is retarded. Day one patches are the worst thing ever. Just shows how done games are nowadays.

SamPao4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

it's an online only game, there will be tons of patches in the coming days/weeks/months.
this should be no surprise

GarrusVakarian4124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

Day one patches are made during the time between a game going gold and the game launching. After a game goes gold, the devs can't work on it any more, so they make separate day one patches instead to launch alongside the main release.

Would you prefer the devs just sat on their hands during that time and didn't make improvements? Because that would be the alternative. Devs have time restraints set by publishers, there's only so much they can do before the deadline comes, so they use the "free" time between going gold and release to further develop the game.

Why exactly is that "the worst thing ever"?

Ultr, It's not online only.

@ultr Its not an online only game there single player.... But adzdiine is 10000% correct... The devs are so rushed these corps to get the game and not refined and mastered....

But gamers like you will buy without even thinking about it bc you don't know any better...

You are right, typo fixed and it's 3gb

kratoz12094124d ago

Yeah this is awesome I love downloading patches

higgins784124d ago

@Ultr
That it should come as "no surprise" makes it even worse. Its not a current gen thing. This just doesn't happen - certainly on this scale - with Nintendo/Wii U.

SamPao4124d ago

"No surprise" because they want to improve the game. Especially since its an online game. What does it matter if its a day onw patch or a patch 2 weeks after.
Its not like the game wouldn't have worked (Unity) its just improvements. Can't see the problem especially since its an online only game.

higgins784124d ago (Edited 4124d ago )

Improve in these terms means fix broken. Too many games are being released clearly unfinished, this being another example. Its another unfinished game due to be patched for months and months, hopefully by the end it will have some resemblance of finished. You're niave if you believe otherwise or buy the propaganda.

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator308d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal308d ago

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.

MeteorPanda308d ago

if lm not mistaken it started the asymmetrical pvp matches. Evolves logo was a nod to their concept.

The_Blue308d ago

They should have because I played the first one when it was already dead

‘Evolve: Stage 2’ is back from the dead as peer-to-peer servers come back online

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."

^^this, I have so many awesome skins on Xbox that I’d rather not lose

Germaximus1398d ago

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.

LordoftheCritics1398d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
