Now seven years after the launch of Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock has separated from Valve and released a new take on the four player co-op that saw them so much success in the past, replacing the zombie hordes with a singular hulking alien beast and a plethora of astonishingly well designed alterations to gameplay that makes Evolve the most compelling multiplayer experience I have had in a long time."
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.
Haterz gonna hate on the DLC, but end of the day it's all aesthetic B.S. anyway. The gameplay is fantastic and it's one of the most rewarding multiplayer experiences of all time. It's not for everybody, but it set out to create an amazing asymmetric multiplayer experience, and in that it excels.
It's pretty addictive as the monster
