am not interested in next gen at all

then i saw this and was horrified that there was going to be an announcement of a game that would make me say "s**t, that's it, now i'll have to buy a PS4/X1"

luckily, my fears were laid to rest as this type of game doesn't do anything for me (though i have to say i somewhat enjoyed L4D2)

This has to be the worst post ever.

Looks like Lost Planet 2 co-op to me...

I still don't get why you would even reveal your game, if the boxart and one fucking screenshot is all you got to show. Why even announce it. And as far as i'm aware i can't get the gameinformer here in germany. MEH

You can get the digital edition. Also this is like every gameinformer reveal, welcome.

 

[Loomba]

It'll be one of them games where I have no interest in it until it's about a week away from release and then I'll get super hyped about it and buy it on release for me.

welp... i have to admit that i dont own any android or ios device, is it possible to get it just as a pdf?

you're welcome!

 

[ArjanN]

Seriously? Is it perfectly ok for someone to post "Another platformer huh? Not excited" in a Mario thread?

People are free to post opinions that make them look dumb.

Gotta stretch the hype train, you're throwing marketing time away if you drop a game to an audience that doesn't know it exists.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

interesting premise.

But im not interested in Multiplayer only games.

 

[BBboy20]

Damned is the same, except in a spooky house.

Now that Outrise game has the same premise. Like this genre is popping like clockwork.

 

[Sojgat]

It's not MP only.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

While this looks cool, it is nowhere near as big of a deal as GI made it out to be.

Glad I kept my hype in check.

 

[DSix]

So it's the Source mod, The Hidden?

All of my monies if it's anything as good (or better) with an actual live community.

 

[MS89]

Love all these multiplayer-focused games; more time to play other games.

 

[dyergram]

4 vs 1 is a great idea I will play this.

Whoa! You dodged a bullet there man.

Dangerously close to having fun.

 

[Yackie]

Just read through the article. It sounds like Left 4 Dead (multiplayer co-op survival) + Team Fortress 2 (using different player classes) which are two of my most played games of all time, so I'm definitely excited for this! Its the first game so far to tempt me into getting a next gen console.

Also, in the article it says something about having multiple game modes, and the ability to play by yourself and have AI control the other 3 players on your team, with the option to switch between which player you control. A lot of people are grumbling about it being "another multiplayer game", but it doesn't seem to be strictly multiplayer if you don't want to play it that way. I'm sure more details about the different game modes will come out the closer it gets to release.

 

[KKRT00]

this game will only work if the environment is as dense and lush as real life jungle type environment

This, if is the foliage is so lush that is obscures vision, it would be absolutely fantastic.

Its on CryEngine, its a given
Stalker moments in Crysis 3 were great, having something similar in big multiplayer environments can be amazing.

Btw the whole description of the game from GI article sounds excellent. I really looking forward to this and i hope that they will work on depth as much as they can.
I really like concept of big environments with wild life that You can exploit for exp or hunting other team.
This game has also big premise to expand in future.

You can play single player, even as the monster, any amount of players between 1-5.
They're designing it to be infinitely replayable, where no match is the same.

Awesome. Shame I haven't made the leap to next gen.

 

[LeeRoyBrown]

Oh cool Monster...

Oh guns.

Interest level through the floor.

Well, I guess I'll check this out when I see some video footage.

I loved L4D. Hopefully this isnt generic as fuck.

Being stealthy and trying to survive long enough to become a walking death machine when you play as a monster sounds really cool.

I really need to keep my expectations in check because we haven't seen gameplay footage, but this game just keeps sounding better and better as more news comes out.

 

[Keyouta]

This sounds fun as fuck. I loved L4D, pretty excited to see some game-play footage.

 

[Guy.brush]

Not sure if posted yet: An artist from TurtleRock said that the backcover is basically an in-engine game shot with some minor touchups.

Fun fact: We actually built all of that back cover in CryEngine and did a little bit of compositing and touchup in photoshop for the final. Was pretty cool to fly the camera through the frame and show coworkers that it was all game assets and nice lighting.
I'm pretty happy that our game art can go toe to toe with concept art for a magazine cover Can't wait until you guys can get your hands on it.

So hyped for this. So far so good. I expect them to deliver like they did on their previous titles.

Just like L4D

 

[Wensih]

Fortunately, this has a single-player component. I wouldn't buy it if it was MP-only... but this DOES have a SP component. So I'm intrigued. Would rather co-op against an AI boss, personally, when playing MP.

That's some good news. I know the game is more MP focused but at least they're throwing us a bone.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Is it just me or does this game sounds like it could've actually used the Wii U gamepad effectively?

Have the monster person use the gamepad so they can have their own view of things etc. have other players using wii motes and controllers

Granted no way was it happening with that install base

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This was the game that was going to get everyone hyped, or whatever?

Yeesh...

Yes.


Did you read the article or just look at the cover?

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

 

[Glorified G]

Pause the video at 3:04. There is a 360 with a cooling fan

 

[LastNac]

To those who have seen screens, do they look nice?

 

[BigTnaples]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

Why the doubt?


If they expand upon the foundation of L4D, and the wildlife, environments, classes, and weapons are as diverse as they say, and the EcoSytem Simulation is up to par, there is no reason why matches should be the same.

 

[derFeef]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

It's a multiplayer game, so it's a given.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Left 4 Dead was one of the 2 defining online game experiences of the last generation for me and my friends. This news has me incredibly hyped. I am perfectly happy to throw down a preorder and buy this at full price and support the crap out of it in any way I can.

Next up, we need a spiritual sequel to Red Faction Guerilla with awesome Siege mode multiplayer, then the two best MP games of last gen will be reborn.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure

What? when you play L4D in SP a lot of stuff is completely random, ammo positions, health packs, zombie hordes or the tanks, hunters etc. is all random generated, you never know when a witch is sitting on the floor for example.

 

[SnakeXs]

TR is great, and I adore asymmetrical multiplayer.

Interest piqued.

 

[Nirolak]

Don't post scans.

Ok sorry.

Screencap are considered as scan?

Yeah, it's digital, but it's still copyrighted content.

I realize it can be confusing.

More screenshots, concept art and details about the Goliath:

“We knew we wanted him to be the first monster that would ever be revealed, and the first monster that players would have access to, and the first one the media would see,” says Turtle Rock Studios head Chris Ashton. “So we wanted it to be recognizable and not too weird.”

The Goliath is their jack-of-all trades, a bipedal powerhouse who crouches into a simian sprint and maintains his balance with a spiked tail. Even in his smallest form, he’s intimidating; at stage one he’s about 10 feet tall, and he only gets taller with each of this three evolutionary forms. “If he stood fully up, he’d be in the 30s,” says character modeler Brandon Yanez. “He’s really big.”

Even though he does have a recognizable form factor, you probably won’t be looking at his back for a zipper. “We didn’t want him to feel like a dude in a costume, we wanted him to feel as believable as possible, and that transcends into a lot of our theory,” says Yanez. “We exaggerate stuff as long as it feels believable.

“It’s not like a Silent Hill kind of horror, but it’s more of a James Cameron, Aliens style, where it just looks cool.”

[derFeef]

That's certainly a big monster - attacks seem very "moba" like - this is getting really interesting.

 

[EL CUCO]

At this point we know more about Evolve than we do about

Spoiler

Titanfall

Turtle Rock, you have my attention.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

I hadn't realized prior to this article that there would be multiple monsters available to play as. While I hate crappy DLC implementation, this seems like the kind of game that could build additional monster types based on fan feedback. I know that the guys at TurtleRock wwre excellent about fan communication with L4D, so hopefully they can keep that up with Evolve.

My hype for this is higher than any other game I can think of.
