"From the creators of Left 4 Dead comes Evolve. Is Turtle Rock Studios' upcoming FPS the next evolution of online multiplayer? Pun Intended, by the way."
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.
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.
Love Left 4 Dead when it first came out. Made killing Zombies with friends a real thing and fun too. If this game is half of what that was but better I'd play it.
played as a Survivor and it was tons of fun. I wonder how they will keep this fresh because I can see this getting old quick if there aren't a ton of maps/modes.
Interesting that although it's 4 hunters each class will actually have several characters each & you don't have to take 1 of each class. At least that shows they are thinking of ways to pad it out for replayability/longevity.
...Also I see wildlife AI & mechanical moving scenery. Where's Microsoft & Respawn? Surely they should be around here somewhere claiming its only possible with the power of "The Cloud" - Sorry I had to do it, purely for how ridiculous they were with their comments about it....
