"Whenever players start a competitive first-person shooter match online, their first priority may involve finding a perch to snipe enemies or staking position for an ambush.
In 2K Games' action title Evolve, I need to eat."
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.
Looking forward to this. Although that creature reminds me more so of Cthulhu than the Kraken.
I watched E3 streams of this with "Mr Slave" as the announcer, it was funny. Some complained about balance but they really didn't have enough info to judge correctly.
I do hope people complain about having to hold a button to eat as a monster, that will get old fast when you have to eat so many animals to reach lvl 3.
The Kraken was winning most of the matches at E3. If you have even one bad player in your party, you won't be able to win. Team work is absolutely necessary to win. You can't just carry the team. You have to help them. That being said, it's insanely fun.
Cthulhu! Can't wait for this game.
