Evolve (PC, XB1, PS4)

Played with a group of friends last night, and while there are still some bugs and a Kinda brutal amount of waiting between matches.....it was probably the best MP experience since splinter Cell theatre level.

Just a ton of fun hunting down the monster as a coordinated group.

I hope I don't ruffle feathers here.

Honestly I'm a little underwhelmed. I've tried to dive into it four times and I end up putting the game down after 10-15 minutes.

I fully admit there could be user error here, for two reasons.

A.) I don't have any friends to play with as the randoms are awful so far

B.) I just don't seem to be very good at the game. I don't know if it's my monitor or what but I seem to lose track and have trouble keeping my sights on the monster even when it's in close range. When I'm the monster the controls feel a little floaty to me.

This is just my opinion, I do not present it as fact nor do I think I'm right and anyone else is wrong. I will continue to to try to get into it

If anyone wants to add me on PS4 my id is JaredLib. I'm sure there is fun to be had with mature and fun loving gamers communicating instead of little kids spamming dubstep into the mic.

The game itself is well made, it looks nice and I dig the hunters and monsters, not trying to say it isn't a good game, just saying that so far u haven't been sucked in and feel like I may have wasted my money, but only time will tell.

I will say I am not sure it will have the longevity of the Left 4 Dead games, and those games had only a mild lifespan if I remember correctly, but maybe I'm wrong there.

Everyone here give up on this game?

I gotta reiterate how much fun it is if you get a group of friends together and hunt a monster. I highly recommended you guys giving it a whirl.

I haven't really been a monster yet, but for all you lone wolfers, it's gotta be the ultimate ego boost.

Time has been short and friends didn't bite. I'll grab it cheap on PC during a Steam sale probably.

Evolve is switching over to the free to play model on PC starting tomorrow.

Then, when Evolve launched, the reception wasn’t what we expected. Sure, there were some good reviews. There were also bad reviews. Yes, there was excitement. There was also disappointment – for players and for us. The DLC ****storm hit full force and washed away people’s enthusiasm, dragging us further and further from that first magical pick-up-and-play experience.

Most importantly, we just want to put the game in your hands. Try Evolve out. See what you think. We hope you like it and we're not going to charge you to give it a try.

“Wait! What?! What does that mean?”

It means we’ve been listening and now we’re taking Evolve in the direction that a lot of you have suggested since the beginning. We’re making Evolve free on PC. No buy-in or box required.

Good to hear, would be interested in tinkering with it again, the price is right anyways.

Turtle Rock ends support for Evolve. The game and it's servers will continue for as long as 2k allows it to (alternatively they could also task another studio to work on it, however unlikely)

Seems like the greater things you aspire to, the more time it takes. We had huge aspirations for Evolve, and while we got to spend five and a half awesome years on planet Shear with a ragtag group of Planet Tamers and fearsome Monsters, it still doesn’t feel like enough - we were hungry for more but unfortunately today is the last day that Turtle Rock Studios can work on Evolve.

It’s always hard to leave one of our games behind. Left4Dead was no different and now it’s Evolve’s turn. There will always be a special place in our hearts for our past projects. No matter what happens with Evolve in the future, we’ll know it was born in this studio and developed by this team alongside this beautiful community.

This is the life of AAA game developers who aren’t self-funded and don’t own their own IP. We don’t get to make the call. We all know that going in but we still sign the dotted line because we love what we do. We are happy to have gotten the opportunity to do something risky, something new and innovative. We created a brand new Sci-Fi world. We got to go to planet Shear and interact with alien flora and fauna. We got to hunt down, trap and kill giant monsters together. We got to BE the monster. What an awesome experience.

The last five and a half years represents so much. We are so proud of Evolve, the Turtle Rock team and the Evolve community. Getting on the forums, Reddit, Facebook and Twitch and talking directly to you has been a highlight of many of our careers. On no other project have we ever been able to interact so directly. The Evolve community is the best we could have hoped for and we hope you come with us and become a part of the Turtle Rock community.

We want to thank all the people at THQ who initially believed in us when we were that tiny studio in a little converted warehouse with a dream of making something truly different. Thanks to 2K for picking up the mantle out of THQ’s bankruptcy and making Evolve one of the most anticipated games of 2015. Additional big thanks to 2K for reaching outside their comfort zone and funding Evolve: Stage 2 by taking a AAA game free to play, which was a first for all of us.

Most of all, we want to thank you, our players, for supporting Evolve and Evolve: Stage 2, many of you from the very beginning. You embraced our vision and fell in love with it just as we did. We have learned so much from you. Thank you all for your feedback, your support and your dedication.

We love this community and don’t want to say goodbye via a letter on a website, so we’ll be hosting one final Evolve-themed Livestream on Thursday, October 27 at twitch.tv/evolvegame starting at 12 PM Pacific Time. We’ll be there talking about our experience on the project and answering as many of your questions as we can.

There’s a lot that we really wish we could have done, especially taking Stage 2 to consoles, but it looks like that’s just not meant to be.

Those of you who’ve followed Turtle Rock Studios, this is not goodbye. We have lots of stuff in the works that we hope you’ll enjoy but we are departing on the Laurie-Anne for the last time and must bid a farewell to the planet Shear.
We’ll see you all again, another time on another world….

So long, Shear. It’s been an adventure.

Phil & Chris

Re: Evolve (PC, XB1, PS4)

I enjoy Stage 2, but I think more could of been done. Every match "evolves" pun intended down to the same ol same ol. Plus character unlocking takes far to long.

I liked the gameplay direction, but didn't care for all the decisions.

Re: Evolve (PC, XB1, PS4)

I think a lot of mistakes were made with this game. I had super high hopes but it just ended up being an all-around huge disappointment for me.
