Evolve Wins Gamescom 2014 ‘Best of Show’ Award, More Awards Than Any Game in Show History

Hardcore Gamer: 2K and Turtle Rock Studios announced today that Evolve, the highly anticipated 4v1 cooperative and competitive multiplayer shooter coming to next-gen consoles and PC on February 10, 2015, has won the prestigious “Best of Gamescom” award

Looks like we already know what the best game of 2015 is.

[GarrusVakarian]

There are tons of absolute killer games coming in 2015, I don't think Evolve can hang with them, tbh.

The Order
Halo 5
Uncharted 4
The Witcher 3
Batman AK
MGS5 TPP
Quantum Break

[TheFox87]

Without wanting to be the token Nintendo fanboy that chirps in with his penny's worth. But I would add Zelda U to that list, plus a few other personal favourites. Definitely going to be an abundance of 'killer' games though. I'm not sure I'm ready for it; too much goodness. Glad I made the decision to get all 3 consoles instead of a gaming PC. Not hating on PCs at all there, but for my tastes and looking at the console exclusives that are coming, its excitement central. Despite all the negativity surrounding gaming these days, I don't believe we've ever had it so good.

[FsterThnFTL]

Please don't put The Order in that illustrious list of games.

[LAWSON72]

Sad part is there are more games then that.
Zelda
X
Bloodborne
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Star Citizen
The Division
Rainbow Six Siege
Ands if games like Battlefront and FFXV end up coming in 2015 + all the other reveals that will happen this game has some serious competition in not only GOTY but even shooter/mp of the year. However I would not roll it out because who knows it maybe epic beyond belief. I will wait to play it before I downplay it against other big games that may very well be disappointing.

[rodelthegreat]

You forgot Pillars of Eternity and Galactic Civ III.

[nX]

Did you just seriously forget Bloodborne? You don't deserve these bubblez :D

[jcnba28]

The Order? Are you serious bro?

Zelda is most likely to win GOTY next year.

[MysticStrummer]

I'm as big a Sony guy as most here, but The Order isn't going to a contender. The same goes for Quantum Break. Both are very pretty but also very typical looking in the gameplay department.

I do agree that Evolve won't be a big winner either though.

[leahcim]

yes. UNCHARTED 4

[aviator189]

best mp/co-op seems more likely.

[Rimeskeem]

I don't

Uncharted 4
The Division
Super Smash Bros
Star Citizen
The Order
Halo 5
Batman AK
Bloodborne
Zelda for Wii U
Rainbow 6 Seige
Quantum Break

all the other games that we have not seen much of but know exist

[MysticStrummer]

Early awards like these are next to meaningless. How many glowing previews did we see last generation for games that ended up being mediocre?

[GarrusVakarian]

"More Awards Than Any Game in Show History"

Wow, really? I mean, it looks good, sure....but damn. Really? That's really surprising to me.

[XBLSkull]

Yeah I didn't have high expectations for this one but guess I'll have to take another look at it.

[WeAreLegion]

I think the problem is that there aren't many big games at the show in playable form.

[jcnba28]

Of course it's surprising to you because it's not a sony exclusive.

[MysticStrummer]

Yeah it couldn't be an honest opinion…

smh

[BiggerBoss]

Or maybe it's surprising because the game doesn't look THAT amazing. It's very pretty and has solid gameplay, but everything I've seen leaves me underwhelmed personally. Lack of content is one of my biggest worries for Evolve

[iceman06]

Wasn't there an article about the rules for nominations at Gamescom? There were some strange rules that would basically limit several games from being included.

[NicSage]

I've played the Alpha & yes it's an Alpha but the core gameplay is going to be the same overall..

This is going to be a great game but GOTY, no.

[Freeball]

With you on that. Enjoyed the Alpha, great MP where the more you play the better the game gets, but not a GOTY contender for me either.

[GusBricker]

Is there a campaign?

[Torgul]

Only mp

[Dark11]

Yes but they didn't talk about it yet.

[theshredded]

Offline mp with story bits

[DanielGearSolid]

Game doesn't look THAT fun IMO

But I also hated L4D so...

[LAWSON72]

How can you hate L4D? Sure it may not be fun for you but that just seems kind of harsh considering it did not do anything to you?

IMO it was very imaginative and fresh when it came out, though it may have felt a little clunky it at least had character and was and still is a unique co-op experience.

[DanielGearSolid]

I bought bcuz of word of mouth.

Me and my brothers were co oping and not having much fun. We just stopped playing

Also like u said, the clunkiness... Ugh

But yea hate is too strong. Didn't enjoy it

[Salooh]

I for one enjoyed left for dead and looking forward to Evolve but i know how DanielGearSolid feel. I played mass effect and halo because of fans hype and i was really disappointed and i even started hating these games lol. Too much hype = Bigger expectations then the game = bad experience. You see what i mean ?. That apply to any game or movie..etc

[DuneBuggy]

I love the L4D games myself. I dare say its my favorite last gen game (s).Evolve is on my maybe list, but a L4D3 announcement? Im waiting impatiently lol.

[LAWSON72]

Kind of surprising, like don't get me wrong it looks awesome and the concept is definitely interesting but it just does not look like an award winner. It must be epic to play in person to be so successful at both Gamescom and E3.

[theshredded]

man sad this is delayed..it would've won GOTY 2014 easily since there's nothing much this year.It won e3 and now gamescom
My dream fps and only FPS game I'm excited for.Biggest sleeper hit and underdog

[Rimeskeem]

I wonder if Uncharted is going to steal that title next year

[noctis_lumia]

when naughty will be playin during vga or E3 ?
trust me it will

[rmw2hot87]

this game is definitely on my radar. can't wait to play the beta.

[SINISTERGENESIS]

Sooo many games too little money ;(

[DafunkyRebel]

Maybe a rent but I really don't see the appeal and I kinda have my doubts about how long you can manage to have fun with this game since its literally the same thing over and over again. $ players fight one play monster its an endless repetitive cycle.

[kopko]

Evolve will be big in pro gaming, trust me.

[guyman]

There is so much unjust hate for the order, looking at some of the comments above "dah gamepalay izz soo gearz o war" - that's the comprehensive analysis of why the order is supposedly a terrible gam, so informative and detailed. What maturity! Looking at that new trailer, and i'm blown away every time i watch it, gameplay, lore,setting all looks amazing and i don't need a fankid troll to tell me that it sucks, because frankly, people who are saying the gameplay is bland are looking at any excuse to bash a potential masterpiece in order to provide themselves with inner comfort, knowing that they're too afraid of a game on a system they refuse to buy due to blind preferences. Get a life, get a job, stop complaining, enjoy all systems and their exclusives and don't write off (nor overhype) a game releasing half a year down the line.
