games™ spoke to Chloe Skew, producer at Turtle Rock, about how the studio plans to keep its unique beast alive following Evolve’s recent launch, and the difficulties with online games’ longevity
Back 4 Blood 2 seems to be in development at Turtle Rock Studios with the working codename title of "Gobi 2"
I never understood gamers mindset when it comes to this.
Am I suppose to just keep playing L4d2?
Like why does it matter if there is a better one?
We will never get a better version of anything if they don’t try.
they did try, and the older game was more feature complete, has more depth, and better replayability.
They didn't evolve the formula they regressed, look up Crowbcat back4blood vs l4d
Okay cool.
Is that how you go about life?
“Oh I tried once didn’t work out, I’ll give up.”
We wouldn’t get anywhere if people had that mindset.
The idea of one thing is better so no one else try it is crazy to me.
Helldivers 2
Deep rock galactic
Vermintide 1 & 2
Payday 2
Space marine 2
World war Z
Are evolutions of the formula and harkin to the ideology that made l4d popular
back 4 blood fell short, and was panned by players. This is also the dev's 2nd attempt at using their name as the devs of L4D as recognition, Evolve was their other.
Get rid of the stupid card system for starters and just stick to four characters so you can develop them fully
No one has every beaten the original L4D survivors from the first game
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.
