 Platforms PlayStation4, Xbox One, Windows/PC Release Date February 10, 2015  In alpha this weekend.  PC Players - If you own XCOM then Evolve alpha should be in your library! Codes are also being posted in the thread.XBOX ONE SERVERS: LIVE NOW. PC, PS4 SERVERS: Go live tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 31 at 9am PDT / 4pm UTC ALL SERVERS GO OFF: Sunday, Nov. 2 at 8pm PST / Monday, Nov. 3 at 4am UTC. That is when the Big Alpha officially ends quote:Evolve is an upcoming cooperative/competitive survival shooter developed by Turtle Rock Studios for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. TL;DR - Left 4 Deads competitive mode amped up to four space marines vs mini godzilla  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zePGWYHuFJY  There are three radically different monsters with a fourth free for preorders. Pleasantly there are also supposed to be 15 different humans at launch, three for each class and they have radically different abilities instead of being reskins. I'm in the alpha on the weekend so I can give some opinions, there will be a lot of streamers with the lack of NDA. Edit: This is a good game. It's not perfect and a lot will rely on the skill of the monster. I haven't seen a monster win yet in a dozen rounds. You can easily get in the PC alpha so try it out.

I'm fairly interested in this game but 50 eurobucks seem a bit steep. If you got into the alpha I'd like to hear some impressions!

I'm really curious how this will work out in practice. It seems to me like there are some serious conceptual issues with that kind of gameplay - either you win early or you keep failing because the enemy only becomes stronger.

I'm really bummed that I missed out on the Alpha for this one. I pre-ordered the game at Best Buy and then found out that I missed putting in the code by a day? Looking forward to everyone's opinions on it.

Yeah, a lot is going to hinge on the skill of the person playing the monster. Wild guessing: first stage gets you stealth/escape abilities to enable running away, latter stages phase those out towards more offense?

I signed up for the Alpha under like 3 different email addresses and still didnt get in. I dont know anyone else who did either. I dunno how big the Big Alpha really is. Anyone get in? I am actually not a huge shootmans guy either, but I havent heard a single negative thing about this game since its been announced. Everyone seems in love with it. Really looking forward to it.

Just a heads up for anyone who was in the alpha earlier in the year, they're just reactivating the game on Steam and you don't have to enter anything.

preloaded the alpha and looking forward to playing tomorrow  i think this game will live or die depending on how much content it has though. you can't really keep a multiplayer game going if you only ship with something stupid like 4 or 5 multiplayer maps, so hopefully there's a lot there to keep people interested. kinda worried though since they've only shown 1 or 2 maps so far in preview videos

I got in on the PS4, looking forward to giving it a whirl tomorrow. I like the idea of this, seems like it might have potential. I entered twice, both times through Eurogamer.

It seems to me like there are some serious conceptual issues with that kind of gameplay - either you win early or you keep failing because the enemy only becomes stronger. I've been following streams on Twitch and it's a lot more "fragile" than other asymmetric games. The monster really isn't given much leeway in terms of crutches in the early game. If they're slightly bad, a team will easily kill them so you get a fair number of 2 minute games. It also takes a long, long, long time to get into matches even with a fully staked human team. But then again, Beta/Alpha that's four months from release so whatever.

Just had a game playing the monster. It's ok. Levelled it all the way to third stage. Levelling only gives you more points to put in your abilities which are all about attacks, so no real way of evading hunters apart from running. Controls become intuitive fairly early for jumping, climbing etc so you can always keep on the move with no real hassle. Only real gripe is the small map, but that's probably to keep games relatively short. Early days but shows promise.

I'll be playing this over the weekend and I have a feeling that it will be more fun with goons than with pubs (aka pubs with  ). See you all in Mumble or add me on steam: wexia

Pretty frustrating to play right now. I've been spending more time loading and getting disconnected than actually playing. But I suppose that's what they're testing for so it's to be expected. From what I've been able to play so far it's actually pretty fun.

I'm curious if they'll add other modes. One stream mentioned a bot mode for playing when you don't have any buddies to hand. I can see objective defence being a possibility, maybe a competitive hunt to see who can bag as much wildlife as they can. The medic tranq gun looks frustrating as hell to be on the recieving end of though. A ranged slow that seems to last forever in the footage, and three shots to try and tag the target too. At least most of the other similar abilities require stepping on something, getting into the hunter's faces, or can be broken in some manner.

Have they made it so the monster can't just outrun the hunters indefinitely until he's stage 3 where he just crushes them? During the last alpha the only time I was ever remotely in danger of being cornered was when I was evolving

I've found that if I don't find one within 2 minutes I either go back if I can or quit game. Otherwise It will just sit on the search screen forever. usually find a game pretty quickly if I just retry.

MOTHERFUCKER. I just checked and I got in twice but it was in my promotions folder too. Checked my spam but not promotions. Extra Xbone code - 3DCYF-92MMK-CQHM7-RC9GR-7JHKZ - this has been taken I coulda been playing all day yesterday too. I am really annoyed because I dont have any time at all to play today. I guess I will check it out tomorrow. WinnebagoWarrior fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Oct 31, 2014 |

anyone actually able to get in the servers on the PS4 alpha? I'm getting a "not accepting new users at this time" error but apparently that was the message before the servers went up, so not sure if it's just full or it's not open yet.

During the last alpha the only time I was ever remotely in danger of being cornered was when I was evolving I've only played one game with this build so of course I could be wrong but it still seems really loving easy to just dart across the map and hit stage 2 before the hunters can realistically interact with you.

YEP Seriously, I have a 770 and I'm running it in a 1600x900 window and it's still skipping and stuttering so much i could barely play it. Between that and the garbage matchmaking, noooooot really making me want to run out and preorder it. Ningyou fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Genuinely surprised at how much fun I've been having playing this. Getting into a match is kind of a pain on PC, load times are also super long and the entirety of the game rests on you not getting 4 other retards in your game. Anybody making a group on Steam? YesManKablam posted:Anyone else on PC getting really poor performance even on low settings? Probably not super useful but with a 970/3570k I get locked 60fps at 1080 with everything turned on, TXAA 2x.
