i.e. this didn't sell as well as we wanted, so we're going to repackage everything, throw in some DLC, and hope someone unwittingly picks this up for Christmas. Perhaps we can recoup some of the costs.

So how exactly does OP's joke make sense? Isn't this a DLC collection? Sounds like a fair reason for this to exist

Edit Oh, the Amazon description. ha.

This game boggles me. So much pre-release hype only to die on release. Serious question. Can this game be salvaged ( patches, updates, free more modes)? Is the gameplay redeemable? Destiny came back with a vengeance. I hope this don't kill turtle rock.

I found the beta to be fairly enjoyable. I think they would need to go free to play though honestly. I can't imagine anyone is going to shell out $60 for Evolve at this point.

Is this supposed to be an evil practice or something? Games that sell well do the same thing.

This game kinda upsets me. I genuinely wanted it to be great but that didn't work out for various reasons. I'm not gonna laugh at it... It's just kinda sad.

I thought this game was going to be a spooky/shooting game. Like the first half of the game is the monster hiding as the hunters slowly advanced through dense areas fighting off wildlife. While the monster is trying to evolve.

During stage two it goes back and forth with the hunters being more cautious.

Stage three is the hunters being hunted. Them trying to make safe areas and avoid getting killed by the monster like an AvP vibe.


But then I played it and it was nothing at all like that. The hunter just kinda flew around killing everything. Maybe I'll try it again after this new bundle goes down in price but idk. I was really hoping it would be like a sick survival shooter multiplayer awesome thing but it never felt that way to me.

I really regret buying Evolve it just got so boring after a weekend of playing, no where near as replayable as L4D was.

Speaking at the Piper Jaffray Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Conference today, Take-Two president Karl Slatoff said the company is happy with that performance. His comments also suggested that the game's extensive downloadable content plans have been well received commercially.

"When we first picked up Evolve... our instincts told us we had something really special," Slatoff said. "And as the game evolved--I guess the pun is sort of intended--but I think our instincts have proven out right. We're very pleased. We've had an incredibly successful commercial launch with Evolve. We're very happy where things are going, particularly on the digital side. Digital has been very strong for us, not only with full game downloads but also the attach rate for our season pass has been very strong. I'm not going to give you specific numbers but we're very pleased with those. So I would say in general, Evolve has been a fantastic experience for us and we're very pleased with it."

"As you know, Evolve is very multiplayer focused, and that's worked for people--we've had something like 27 million game sessions played," Zelnick said. "And we've sold-in over 2.5 million units. We're really happy with where it's going. It isn't 10 million units...yet. But it is an important franchise for us.

"I think we come out of that experience reminding ourselves we have to have a strong single-player opportunity. But we knew that about Evolve," he added. "We think we've developed another permanent IP. But if there were something lacking, I would say it would be that it was probably a bit too multiplayer-focused, which we knew all along."

Zelnick previously referred to Evolve as a "key long-term franchise" for the company.

"Our goal is to try to create permanent franchises, that's the unique goal in the industry," he said back in 2013. "Our competitors do not see it that way. Our competitors' view is that our franchise will have a certain life, and at the end of that life, you move onto the next thing, so you better make hay while the sun shines. Our view is to the contrary. The best franchises are permanent franchises. Outside of our business you can look at James Bond, for example."

Wow. November 3 of all times. Why not wait until a lull in late winter/early spring? I don't see the point anyway, but they can't seriously think they are going to be able to sell this going up against Halo, COD, Battlefront, Assassins Creed, Tomb Raider and Fallout 4.

I was so looking forward to this game and wanted it to be great but 2K killed it before it was even out of the gate. It's a damn shame too because it looked good to me but I couldn't support that nonsense. Part of me would still love to give it a try but I've heard there's barely a community there.

They sure better treat a sequel right if they get one.

60??? That has to be incorrect. No way they would price a dead game like that. Right?...


Right???............

Two hours ago I visited a mall in Berlin (Saturn near Bundesrat for the locals), was hoping for a good deal for GTA V PS4. THAT still cost 60 bucks. They also had Evolve PS4. Cost 20 bucks. Still too expensive. Sooo....

you know your game is trash when

A) You have to release an "ultimate" edition in the same year the base game released
B) Have to use pre-release hype quotes from the previous year when your game wasn't even out
