Why even use the word 'parity'?! Do they not know how hated the whole idea is? Why does this game feel like it has been planned and developed in a complete bubble? And coming from a PC development background, why restrict that version to appease the console platforms?!

The game is already so dull, repetitive, and unfun (I don't know how they took this concept and managed to make it so unfun) I don't know why they'd welcome negative press like this.

TotalXbox and a PS site that shall not be named reporting on news out of the Turtlerock camp that Evolve will be 100% parity between all 3 platforms.


From game producer Chloe Skew:


But you know we do have parity between all three and I think that’s really helpful. You know it kind of silences that ‘Oh such and such is better’


More parity, this time not only affecting various consoles, but also the PC. Does this affect anyone's impressions of the game? It was a foregone conclusion they would take this route due to the MS partnership?

Yet another one, I really had 0 interest in this game before, but with that, I have 0 interest in this dev at the same time. This "Paritygate" $hit needs to stop... Unity and Evolve huh? How fitting when you put those titles in perspective...LOL


EDIT, Damn, old news, but is this the first time it has been seen?
EDIT2 I guess not, lol. Everyone must have missed the thread from last year, lol.

Damn, why water down the PC version for the sake of two underpowered consoles? If I'm putting 1k into graphics cards I sure as fuck don't want it to look the same on a $400 console. There's no reason for that. Can someone make sense of that for me please?

As a PS4 owner. I'm delighted that owners of the Xbox One version will experience a game that runs the same. It's not their fault it's a weaker system.

It's not the PS4 owners fault that the Xbox One is the weaker system.
So the PS4 owners shouldn't suffer because of the garbage that Don Mattick & Co. produced a few years ago.

These guys just don't seem to be catching a beak with this game. Everything seems to be negative in some capacity. Game play alpha was meh, beta was meh, shoddy pricing practices and now this parity crap.

I think the reply for their reasoning made me not want to buy it on the Xbox One anymore.

If they supplied a different and something i might accept, then maybe. This is all footloosing around the real reason why they wanted the game to look the same across all platforms.

Im just confused of why they mentioned PC too...

EDIT: ... well since it's been a year.. uhmm.. idk what to say really.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I love how videogame companies alone made "parity" my least favourite word of 2014-15. Its amazing they all just use the same one as well, no uniformity, no consistency, congruity or conformity, equality or whatever. Parity, every time. That fuckin' word is like a flashing warning beacon for "YUH, WE BULLSHITTING YO".

Yeah, that sounds like the next Destiny after all.
So much hype from the media, so much parity and so much deception.

Man, I loved Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, but this just more and more feels like it's going to be this year's Titanfall, and no one will even mention it a month after release.

Depends on what they mean by parity. If they just mean all games will have the same assets and graphical effects, then that's not exactly a big deal.

So long as PC players can play it at higher resolutions and framerates, I don't think many will take much issue with it.

The article was from February 2014... I'm pretty sure people who've played the Beta on PC can likely confirm at this point if there is any parity.

Seems like almost everything Jim Sterling says or criticises becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Is there any branch of publisher shittyness that Evolve hasn't hit at this point?

Didn't you guys play on the PC alpha/beta? There were hundreds of thousands of beta codes available everywhere. had you played it on PC, you'd know the PC version is way beyond the console versions and has a very decent amount of options to choose from (although I wish it had even more antialiasing options).

So basically choosing to rage over nothing.

Why is Gamingbolt saying they recently meet with Chloe Skew when they use the exact same quote as the article from totalxbox published a year ago?
