The only thing bigger than the enormous Goliath statue towering above the crowd at PAX east this year was the crowd around Evolve. With a line that averaged 4 hours all weekend, getting to play Turtle Rock Studios’ upcoming 4v1 first-person shooter was not easy. Luckily, we got to play it, twice.
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."
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.
Turtle Rock studios really impressed me with Left 4 Dead. This game looks pretty good. I don't know if it's going to revolutionize gaming lol but I can't wait to see some footage from it.
Game looks amazing at PAX. I am excite!
I've played Evolve at Insomnia and it was so much damn fun, can't wait for full release.
is there any word on if there will be different maps or modes?
Looks like a really good game, can't wait!
