Evolve Gets Price Slashed To $5 At Microsoft Store

2K Games and developer Turtle Rock Studios’ monstrous asymmetric multiplayer first-person shooter may not have made a hugely lasting impact when it smashed onto the scene back in February, but it’s still a unique experience in a genre fraught with “me too” titles.

Still too much for this DLC fest

dead_pixels3864d ago

It's funny seeing just how fast these hugely hyped MP shooters like Evolve and Titanfall seem to have stumbled over the past few years. It makes you wonder if the asymmetric multiplayer shooter formula has already worn out its welcome.

OneLove3864d ago

??? Titanfall sold over 10 mil last I heard.

Bobafret3864d ago

Only difference is Titanfall is a huge success, and I look forward to the next one.

Yi-Long3864d ago

They really shot any potential this game could have had in the foot by their insane DLC-greed.

They only have themselves to blame.

cfc833864d ago

I though Titanfall was very useful. Don't be suprised if Titanfall 2 ends up being the best multiplayer out there.

2pacalypsenow3864d ago

Where did you hear it sold 10 million? as of august 2015 its sitting at 4.46 million across all 3 platforms

ABizzel13864d ago

@OneLove

There was a huge debate about that 10m, because it didn't say 10m sold, but simply 10 million.

"Celebrating 10 million! Thanks to everyone, we love you all!"

TitanFall was also a part of EA Access, which can easily explain why the sales are only tracked at around 5m, yet there are apparently "10m somethings".

Fireseed3864d ago

Titanfall was a massive success.

kreate3864d ago

Titanfall is only $5 on x1 and $4.99 on the 360 right now.
So it should sell well.

user99502793864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

Titanfall isn't asymmetric and there are still a good number of people playing on Xbox. Pretty damn good for a first outing from a small team.

Funny because I have seen people around here try to lump Rainbow six Siege into the "asymmetric" category in order to make an argument against it.

For the record: online only =/= asymmetric

There will always be a huge market for online only games. Just like there will always be a huge market for single player games. The two are not mutually exclusive. Get used to it.

edit:

article said $25 but now says $5.... if it's 5 bucks ill snag it today. game isn't THAT bad.

styferion3864d ago (Edited 3864d ago )

I hate these full-priced-but-designed-to-on ly-last-a-year games.
I get it, it's fine to make a multiplayer online only games, but make it so that it'll last for a long time with steady patches, like CS:GO for example, not this dumb shit upgrade here and there a bit and slap a full-priced tag for it next year.

Crimzon3864d ago

I thought asymmetric multiplayer was where the players didn't need to be online at the same time?

Examples of this would be the Autolog feature in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit in 2010, and the RiderNet feature in SSX in 2012. You played these games online against other people, but you weren't online at the same time. It was really cool actually. DriveClub tried to copy AutoLog as well but didn't do a very good job, still confused as to how they screwed that up five years after Criterion Games pioneered such a feature.

dead_pixels3864d ago

@martinstrings - The article has said $4.99 since it was published.

It wasn't 10m sales, it was 10m users.

gangsta_red3864d ago

Wow, I appluad these guys for making a different type of game but man...they should have just made another L4D.

dead_pixels3864d ago

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I think L4D2's servers on 360 still see more action than Evolve's do on the Xbox One.

dumahim3864d ago

I don't know about 360, but I think you can look up stats for players on Steam.

Christopher3864d ago

Or just not piecemealed the DLC the way they did to try and make a $60 turn into a $300 game.

tamriilin3864d ago

Evolve was such a cool idea but the way they handled it post release was perhaps the most hamfisted launch for a videogame recently.

fallacious3864d ago

and yet somehow it's still disappointing like they're stealing from you.

Software_Lover3864d ago

I didn't like running around as the monster. Too sluggish.

I did like the game Evolve Hunter Quest though lol.

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.

jznrpg310d ago

Didn’t bother with the first one.

TheColbertinator310d ago

All I wanted was Left 4 Dead 3 instead

Abnor_Mal310d 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.

MeteorPanda310d ago

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

The_Blue310d ago

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

Evolve or Die: The final days of the follow-up to Left 4 Dead

Back in 2016, Turtle Rock announced that support for its 4v1 monster-hunting shooter Evolve would end but fans wouldn't let it die.

‘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."

MIDGETonSTILTS171399d ago

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

Germaximus1399d 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.

LordoftheCritics1399d ago

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.
