The review embargo for Evolve is up, but we're still a few days away from posting our official verdict. In the meantime, you can join us for a look at Defense mode, the endcap to Evolve's five-round Evacuation campaigns.
Fellow editors Matt Kato, Bryan Vore, and Jeff Cork join me as we take Kraken out for a spin against a squad of A.I. hunters and discuss our experiences with Evolve thus far. Topics include Evolve's leveling system, the competency of the A.I., and the best way to rank up your hunters and monsters. You'll also get a good (and hopefully exciting) look at the new mode, as well as a stage-three Kraken's insane repertoire of moves. Can we squeak out a victory and save planet Shear's monster population from invading colonists? Watch the video below to find out.
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.
seriously how the hell are they asking a full price for this game ? imo is atrocious, it feels like just a tiny part of a complete game.
This is even worst than Titanfall.
