Evolve just plain awesome

From the devs of L4D series:

Changed the theme, I wish they'll introduce us some mod that let's you hunt predator, that would be super awesome with this jungle terrain.

It's very good indeed. It uses the Crytek engine as well. I hope there will be a demo.

the game looks OK right now... but i just dont see how a team of 4 vs 1 guy is going to be fun for anyone....

yes the monster is big and all that.... but 4v1? it doesnt even sound fun.

maybe because the Goliath can get big as hell and it takes 4 hunters to take down one down. 2 or more would just be destruction and hunters would lose 100% of the time? its pretty much like Predator.. the hunters become the hunted

yea right? how the **** is 1 guy suposed to beat 4? are the devs crack smokers or something? lol

combine this with Fortnite and you'l have something truly special.

Not really feelin it. I mean, its an interesting concept, but the way it plays out from matches I've seen, its very one-dimensional and I can see it getting dull pretty quickly.

The beginning of the match is basically the same deal for the monster player every time. You just run away, eating animals to try and upgrade yourself. That right there seems quite lame and not fun at all.

And then once the hunters do find you, you're supposed to take them out, but the controls seem clumsy, attacks seem to take time and it seems like its just a frenzy of desperation at that point.

On the hunter side, I'm sure its a little bit interesting to go and track the beast, but I really hate the whole bullet sponge aspect once you're actually attacking. You just sit there and shoot away at the monster and apparently its life gets depleted slowly, but it doesn't seem to react to anything. Its the definition of a 'bullet sponge'. I know for balance, this is necessary, but I imagine it makes the battle less exciting.

I'd like to give it a try before I completely write it off, but at the moment, it really does seem like something that was better on-paper than in practice.

I'm looking forward to this game more than any other atm. I really enjoy small team based games. L4D is still the most fun I have with multiplayer. Having to actually work as a team to win is something a lot of games lack. I feel like playing the hunters is the same. It will take all 4 to work together to capture/kill the monster and if one runs off then he is dead. I enjoy a good team based game.

ahh come on. Imagine playing with a handful of friends you enjoy playing with. It could be a blast.

Looks pretty good, like how it kinda reminds me of Turok.

That's pretty narrow-minded.

Firstly, all of the hunters have to work together against the monster. If you try and lone wolf him he'll eat you, simple as that. The monster can go places in levels that the hunters can't. For example, when I was playing as the monster(Goliath) at PAX East after i had killed one of the hunters I ran away and climbed a cliff to hide and regenerate my armor. As I did that I also hit my stage three evolve, which meant bad news for the hunters. The monster eats animals to regain armor and to increase his evolve meter. So the onus is always on the hunters to be trying to find him and stop him.

Eventually I killed one more of their crew and they then made their way to this power generator room that I had to destroy in order to escape. Since their medic was dead both of them got on the second level and thought that would save them. Well, my monster had fire-breathing at that point. I won against four people and it was extremely fun and exhilarating being able to outsmart them.

Didn't we already have a game called this in the 90's?

The game looks clunky imo. Not liking iron-sights at all. The red screen effects and blur looks like they would get annoying as **** as well.

The team of four players may have a numerical advantage, but the monster has very different capabilities.

Also, such gameplay had been around before and it can be fun, namely in Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

Don't look like Predator. In L4D you never knew when the zombies would strike which created tension and fun. While this just looks like Serious Sam only not as serious.

i agree.... it should have been 4v4 with 3 of the people on the monster team playing smaller monsters that respawn or something.... i just dont like the idea of 4v1

Don't worry guys, i'm sure it's balanced

It seems like the idea would work well for a triple AAA blockbuster movie. That would be rad if we saw that.
