CGM:
The premise is promising enough. You play as either a member of an elite team of Hunters sent in to track and kill a Monster that has devastated the most valuable colony world, or your play as said Monster and get your shit wrecked. Allow me to elaborate slightly. The player playing the Monster has two victory conditions; kill all hunters, or “evolve” to a point where you’re powerful enough to destroy a power substation in the colony. The hunters simply have to hunt and kill their bounty. Sounds like a great premise for some frantic cat-and-mouse style gameplay, no?
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’m not even one of the countless people who had to pay more than $70 to find this out the hard way. Sadly, Evolve stumbles onto the scene and right into the unmemorable category of unremarkable mediocrity. That’s the real crime, given the number of laughs and near heart attacks Left 4 Dead has left me with, and that’s $50 cheaper with no DLC gouging to boot."
This is exactly what the game really is. Mediocre at best.
