Remember Evolve? Probably Not, Well it's 75% Off On steam

''Remember Evolve? Billed as the next ‘big’ thing in multiplayer games? The chances are you won’t remember playing it, but you will remember the vast amount of DLC it released with. Evolve became infamous for requiring a grid in order to see what your money entitled you to.''

Still too expensive. Nice Jab at IGN there lol. I still cant believe they gave it a 9/10. SMH.

PixelGateUk3718d ago

I think the sheer amount of adverts they had running on the site formed the core of their review...whoops, i mean yeah good review IGN, very fair ;)

-Foxtrot3718d ago

These kind of games with limited content always seen to get the benefit of the doubt

It's like reviewers are just accepting it or there is something going on behind closed doors.

God imagine in the future with the next generation of game reviews, they're golden year games will be the ones with cut content and they'll think it was the norm. Excepting less and less as time goes by while those who remember are brushed off as whiners.

porkChop3718d ago

Don't ever take any review seriously if the game's publisher has ads running on the site. Chances are, they have an agreement in place for leniency in the review.

@Porkchop

I never do mate. I honestly find it odd that it's the done thing. I fully understand they need to make money via ads, but there's a limit to be sure.

Though that being said, it's easy for me to say that as hobbyist rather than someone making a living from it

Mr Pumblechook3718d ago

Judging from the one to two hours I played the beta it seemed like fun with a lot of potential for laughs when playing with friends. Ultimately I think the game was ruined by its business model of being a full priced game with F2P micro-transactions.

F2P works on smartphones and there are some games on console that are profitable but they are the exception. I hope developers study this case so they don't repeat it.

Crimzon3718d ago

I agree with Pumblechook. The beta for the game was really fun and I had a lot of very entertaining and memorable matches. Despite the backlash against the DLC the game itself was designed incredibly well, was fun to play and had a lot of depth to it.

I actually regret not buying the game at launch when the playerbase was really active because I feel like I missed out after how enjoyable the beta was. Now it's too late to buy the game since the generous discount doesn't compensate for the online playerbase being far too small. I hope the developers get the opportunity to make a sequel one day, because after making the Left 4 Dead games and then this I consider them to be a very talented bunch when it comes to game design.

People give way too much credit to ign reviews, the first clue that they are bad is most of them are scored on a scale of 7 to 10.

WellyUK3718d ago

It's not just IGN, thats pretty much every review site on the internet at the moment, this is why twitch and Youtube personalities are much more better for reviews in my opinion.

Null19803718d ago

Ubisoft's check must have bounced for the Division.

mep693717d ago

IGN and many others also gave Max Payne 3 9/10. Was playing it the other day, and it's awful. The whole game is just tedious, boring and repetitive.

crazychris41243718d ago (Edited 3718d ago )

The game cant even average 500 people a day on PC, dont care how low the price gets. If no one is playing then why buy it?? They are better off just making it free to play at this point.

PixelGateUk3718d ago

I'm not sure 2K are really down with Free-to-play at the moment. They've been a odd company for a while, mixture of pride and money sank into the game always felt like they resisted going to F2P.

Eve na free Weekend would make more sense than just a sale

KiwiViper853718d ago

They designed a F2P game, then charged $60 for it

Thunder_G0d_Bane3718d ago

I played the beta and got bored after 2 rounds. I wouldn't even take this game if it were free.

Rivitur3718d ago

Let me educate you here, the game take 5 people to start a game with a pool of 500 people to choose from finding a game can take up to 5 mins at most. Coming from a dead left 4 dead on Xbox I know that player count for a game like this doesn't matter unless you are just looking to be negative.

Activemessiah3718d ago

Call me when it's 99% off... you know what, don't bother.
This was meant to fun and something similar to Killing Floor but greed destroyed it and it's hard to support such practices, I hope they've learned something from this.

KwietStorm_BLM3718d ago

I just want to see Friday The 13th come out and do this style gameplay properly, with a fitting price at launch.

Hoffmann3718d ago

I remember how it was hyped on sites like destructoid and got quite a lot attention there.

But I don't remember ever wanting it.

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.
