Evolve Gets Price Slashed To $5 At Microsoft Store

2K Games and developer Turtle Rock Studios’ monstrous asymmetric multiplayer first-person shooter may not have made a hugely lasting impact when it smashed onto the scene back in February, but it’s still a unique experience in a genre fraught with “me too” titles.

[Relientk77]

Still too much for this DLC fest

[dead_pixels]

It's funny seeing just how fast these hugely hyped MP shooters like Evolve and Titanfall seem to have stumbled over the past few years. It makes you wonder if the asymmetric multiplayer shooter formula has already worn out its welcome.

[OneLove]

??? Titanfall sold over 10 mil last I heard.

[Bobafret]

Only difference is Titanfall is a huge success, and I look forward to the next one.

[Yi-Long]

They really shot any potential this game could have had in the foot by their insane DLC-greed.

They only have themselves to blame.

[cfc83]

I though Titanfall was very useful. Don't be suprised if Titanfall 2 ends up being the best multiplayer out there.

[2pacalypsenow]

Where did you hear it sold 10 million? as of august 2015 its sitting at 4.46 million across all 3 platforms

@OneLove

There was a huge debate about that 10m, because it didn't say 10m sold, but simply 10 million.

"Celebrating 10 million! Thanks to everyone, we love you all!"

TitanFall was also a part of EA Access, which can easily explain why the sales are only tracked at around 5m, yet there are apparently "10m somethings".

[Fireseed]

Titanfall was a massive success.

[kreate]

Titanfall is only $5 on x1 and $4.99 on the 360 right now.
So it should sell well.

[user9950279]

Titanfall isn't asymmetric and there are still a good number of people playing on Xbox. Pretty damn good for a first outing from a small team.

Funny because I have seen people around here try to lump Rainbow six Siege into the "asymmetric" category in order to make an argument against it.

For the record: online only =/= asymmetric

There will always be a huge market for online only games. Just like there will always be a huge market for single player games. The two are not mutually exclusive. Get used to it.

edit:

article said $25 but now says $5.... if it's 5 bucks ill snag it today. game isn't THAT bad.

[styferion]

I hate these full-priced-but-designed-to-on ly-last-a-year games.
I get it, it's fine to make a multiplayer online only games, but make it so that it'll last for a long time with steady patches, like CS:GO for example, not this dumb shit upgrade here and there a bit and slap a full-priced tag for it next year.

[Crimzon]

I thought asymmetric multiplayer was where the players didn't need to be online at the same time?

Examples of this would be the Autolog feature in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit in 2010, and the RiderNet feature in SSX in 2012. You played these games online against other people, but you weren't online at the same time. It was really cool actually. DriveClub tried to copy AutoLog as well but didn't do a very good job, still confused as to how they screwed that up five years after Criterion Games pioneered such a feature.

[dead_pixels]

@martinstrings - The article has said $4.99 since it was published.

[Christopher]

***??? Titanfall sold over 10 mil last I heard.***

It wasn't 10m sales, it was 10m users.

[gangsta_red]

Wow, I appluad these guys for making a different type of game but man...they should have just made another L4D.

[dead_pixels]

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I think L4D2's servers on 360 still see more action than Evolve's do on the Xbox One.

[dumahim]

I don't know about 360, but I think you can look up stats for players on Steam.

[Christopher]

Or just not piecemealed the DLC the way they did to try and make a $60 turn into a $300 game.

[tamriilin]

Evolve was such a cool idea but the way they handled it post release was perhaps the most hamfisted launch for a videogame recently.

[derkasan]

That's an absolute steal.

[fallacious]

and yet somehow it's still disappointing like they're stealing from you.

[Software_Lover]

I didn't like running around as the monster. Too sluggish.

I did like the game Evolve Hunter Quest though lol.

[Hoffmann]

Now its almost a fair price for this.

[The93Sting]

wow. aaand now it is in the bargain bin..
that's what happens when you make a half-baked game and polluted with overpriced DLC. what's surprising is that Evolve at that $5 price tag still CHEAPER than most of the game's DLCs!

I really hope this pathetic trend in games would end, but I don't think it will come to an end when greed still exists even in full priced $60 games..

[MilkMan]

Its $4.99 to expensive still. You still have wiggle room on this one. Bring it down a tad more, make the rest of the game (which was offered in DLC) FREE and you got yourself a sell.

[dead_pixels]

Give the damn thing away taped to a ham sandwich and you might have a deal.

[Swiggins]

That ham sandwich better have Mayo though...OR NO DICE!

[gangsta_red]

What if you're Jewish or Muslim?

Edit:
All good, the problem with typing on a smartphone under the desk in an open space work office.

[Software_Lover]

Live!!!!!!!!

Edit: I hate to do this........"you're

[dead_pixels]

Then you get no sandwich at all. Them's the breaks.

[brianunfried]

Should have been a "Free to Play" game.

[DragoonsScaleLegends]

All free to play is pay to win. But with this game you have to pay to play free to play that's pay to win.

[Skate-AK]

Have you ever played Warframe? That game is free and is no way Pay to Win.

[Taero]

What about League of Legends?

[subtenko]

I played nosgoth over evolve. still not getting it for $5 the player count is so low...the blocked people from the forums at the start if u didnt have the game. They are sneaky and weird at handling the game.

[etownone]

Good holiday gift. Picked one up. Too good to pass up at $5 plus free shipping.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's the next Games for gold free game

[Unspoken]

Ah, sold out. :(

[Bobafret]

I will only play this if it ends up on GWG, then see if it's even worthy of the hd space.

[gangsta_red]

That is a really good idea, make it a GWG game and the microtransactions would then come into play. Basically treat it like a F2P game.

[Legion21]

That's what it should have been

[RiseofScorpio]

Still not interested. Make it a GWG and I might play.

[vinniects]

It is now sold out.

[Skate-AK]

I got the game for $13 on PS4.

[alfcrippinjr]

holly shit we get ripped of on the psn store

evolve is a very fun game be it coop or on your own
both offline and online.

worth picking it up for that price only $5

you dont need the dlc you can unlock everything in the game
