Evolve's DLC unleashes four new hunters and the Behemoth monster onto the planet Shear. Shacknews goes hands-on with each to how long the new team lasts against a rock monster.
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.
Game should be Free 2 Play. Paid 60$ and it felt Free to Play, and now they're jamming DLC down my throat.
Oh goody, extra content which should of been in the game already.
Gotta love the comments on the video:
Its stupid that people complain about DLC these days. Specially when its quality DLC. (lol they were only selling dozens of pieces of dlc on the 1st day)
u bought a game with 3 monsters and 12 hunters, be grateful lol. And its not 40 euros, its 20 euros for 4 new hunters and magma skins for goliath, kraken and wraith, reasonable price. If you don't want to play as them, dont buy them, don't worry you can still play against behemoth, u just cant use him. OH btw, be also grateful that ALL NEW MAPS & GAMEMODES WILL BE FREE. FREE. I wish i could say that about alot of other games, where you get kicked out of game just for not having the map because its a DLC ;) (yea we should just be grateful they gave us the game)
I'm really sorry for the developers and hope that Turtle Rock doesn't go trough any kind of layoffs, having said that, I'M SO GLAD that this game has already lost almost all of it's players, hopefully a lot of people refrained from buying it after reading of it's anti-customer practices, I know I did.
2K Really dropped the ball with this game, they should've made it a F2P game with microtransactions for cosmetic stuff, as it is there are A LOT of F2P games with more content than EVOLVE, War Thunder and Warframe are just 2 of those
This could have been a very good game if it was singleplayer focused. But that actually take effort to pull off. I guarantee is was 2K decision to.cut out single player completely to get some profits.I'm really glad it backfired in their face.
