Evolve's Worst Monster is its Marketing Team

gamrReview's Jake Weston: "Under any other circumstance, Evolve would have been seen as a beacon of fresh ideas and innovation, buoyed in a sea of monotonous shooters and their anti-consumer DLC plans. Instead, confused gamers were left feeling like they weren’t getting their money’s worth, and in this regard Evolve’s marketing strategy was an absolute failure. What should have been seen as a new IP with innovative mechanics and a consumer-friendly approach to future content was instead painted as the epitome of money-grubbing corporate greed.

Regardless of Evolve’s level of quality, or whether its upcoming DLC does indeed end up being any good, it should be presented as a case study of how poor marketing can sully a game’s reception despite the best of intentions."

Report: Evolve 2 Was Once in Development, Concept Art Reveals Scrapped Sequel

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.

Didn’t bother with the first one.

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

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.

MeteorPanda302d ago

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

‘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

Germaximus1391d 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.

LordoftheCritics1391d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
