Kuma Wrote: We have talked about the Alpha and now it is time to discuss our thoughts on the Evolve Beta. For those that do not know Evolve revolves around a team of people with special skills in hunting down monsters. We have your trapper, medic, assault and support classes, but the fifth is a unique player who controls the main monster. At first I was a bit skeptical on the concept of four vs. one, but the monster itself is equal to all four players. But, will this be the game for you when it releases in February?
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.
Played it thought meh
After the alpha, I was fairly sure that I wasn't picking up Evolve. However, the beta somehow got me back onto the "buying it" side of things. The game still has some balance issues, but overall, I had lots of fun this weekend.
This game mode was so repetitive and boring. Hopefully they have much better ones at launch.
After playing the Alpha and the beta I just can't seem to get into this game. It seems highly unbalanced, especially when playing against players that are much higher levels as they have unlocked abilities that make playing as the monster a pain in the ass.
Didn't enjoy the alpha much, but addicted to the beta. It's so satisfying having a 1v1 battle when you've wiped out the other hunters
