Evolve's Delay Isn't All Bad

IGN - 2K pushed the asymmetrical shooter's release date to February of 2015, but we don't think that's the worst thing in the world.

I wanted to play it for my Extra Life live stream. :(

BillmadeAGate3550d ago

Well it's not that unexpected, your rarely hear anything about it an we were closings in on October soo makes sense

Darkstares3550d ago

These new ip's need breathing room. We always see this huge influx in games being released around the same time. I think it's good they are starting to learn it's best to spread them out more. Game looks great so far.

Well, there is now so much "breathing room" that there are no games left at all.

Yui_Suzumiya3550d ago

Have you even seen the October release schedule? O_O

i hate the way people try to spin negative things into positive things where theres no positive... Do not announce the release date for a game if you're not going to get it out by then it's just that simple.

Have to say I agree, I've not had my PS4 for a year yet in the past 9 months I've seen more games delayed or vanish off the radar than I did in 6-7 years of PS3 ownership.

It used to be disappointing when a game was delayed. These days I almost expect it to be delayed and sugar coating the delay by saying it can only be a good thing is giving the dev a little too much slack.

Wargrave3550d ago

We know the delay isn't necessarily a bad thing. It gives the devs more time for bugs, gives the game a more focused release window and gives us more time for other things.

Every time a delay happens someone is ready to go "but that isn't a bad thing".

WE KNOW, MOST PEOPLE SAY THAT WHENEVER A DELAY HAPPENS AND MOST OF US ARE ON BOARD THE SAME LOGIC TRAIN AS YOU ARE.

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."

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

Germaximus636d 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.

I used to play this a bit.

Was kinda fun.

Evolve or Die

Evolve is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience born at the tail-end of the wrong era, in the multiplayer world.

Great idea but poorly executed and destined to fail from the begging. Only thing I’m grateful towards this game is that it’s the one that convinced me to never buy a game blind again.

Shadowrun for the Xbox 360/PC would of been a better example of a great online game that launched At the wrong time.

Livingthedream1105d ago

Shadow Run was fantastic! Would probably do alot better now.

Is this a new evolve game??
