Turtle Rock Studios has announced a ton of DLC for Evolve even before the main has been released, resulting in heavy criticism for making gamers spend more money against their own will.
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.
There is a lot going on there. I mean when you think about it Evolve is not out and a lot of players may not be sold on actually getting it yet so idk asking for people to drop extra money on it is a little bit uncalled for.
Agreed, look at 'dying light' if you pre order on xb1 you get the vs mode.
Oh how I miss the days of paying £40 for a game and actually getting the game.
Where did games industry loose its way?..... am I being entitled to expect a full game for £54.99?...so what happens if you don't pre order?......my guess is the same as alien isolation......you pay,yes its only a few pounds/dollars,but its the fact all this stuff used to be standard.
If publishers want to chop games up,then the prices need to be chopped up to fit.
I'm all for just buying multiplayer or singleplayer or both,but like I said the price needs to be sorted so everyone's happy coz IMO charging later or forcing pre orders is a shit trick.
Its practices like this that's turning me off gaming altogether, and I've been gaming since 1984.
This gen has so far (& for the fist time ever) started to erode my interest in gaming altogether, I think I was expecting a lot more from both consoles,maybe it will come with games like 'the division',but with ubisoft on board there's a great chance of the game just not working at all ,also the devs are called massive so maybe ubisoft just publishers.........one can hope I guess.
Anyway I'm sure I can't be the only in who feels a little underwhelmed with the current generation of console.......then again maybe I am alone on my opinion????????......like i keep saying hopefully MGS 5 the phantom pain will be the first fully next gen/current gen game coz IMO most games on x1/ps4 could be done on 360/ps3,not all but most....all just my opinion though guys.
Man I feel like this guy is covering his ears going " la la la la la" while shrugging and pointing at 2K. Im not completely blaming Turtle Rock Studios entirely, but man they really look convinced that those DLC prices are okay optional or not.
