SheAttack: Erica of SheAttack discusses Evolve's Collector's Editions and why her concerns with the game are growing.
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.
I have to agree games have to stop this crap. It's really making me have a slowly growing disdain for the gaming industry. I expect not to be short changed for $ 60dollars as it's pretty expensive.
The things I've heard/read over the past week or so have turned me off toward the game, it feels like Destiny all over again, I've canceled my pre-order and I'll just pick it up in 6 months or so for $25.00
I agree. I'm waiting now for a price drop and the season pass to come up in a sale
Good article and I really wanted this good looking game a few months ago too, but paying more for what should already be in the game just plain sucks. I like my single player and these titles, like Titanfall make it impossible for me to justify, multiplayer games only don't interest me.
I was on and off on my decision to purchase this game. I started doing more research, and watched a few videos which really ended up peaking my interests. Then, out of nowhere, they post these ridiculous pre-order incentives which completely turned me off. It's a real sham, I was looking forward to playing a new game with some buddies of mine, but I'll probably just wait for a season pass/game deal combo in the future as everyone stated. There is no point in funding these types of monetizing and anti-consumerist habits.
