uh-oh
what could it be?
>>344044227
Countdown to F2P.
Going free 2 play
>>344044227
F2P
There's no way they are doing something else for the game or announcing a seqel
>>344044329
>>344044340
Source?
Battleborn crossover
>>344044401
What else would it be? the game is basically Battleborn levels of dead right now.
It can't be a DLC or a port. Nobody would buy it.
>>344044401
what other option do they have at this point?
the game is long dead
come on reboot
>>344044329
>>344044340
>>344044369
This. They have the DLC and skins they can still sell. F2P would bring "some" people into it.
>>344044565
>>344044579
yeah, you are right
>>344044329
>>344044340
>>344044369
I'm tempted to believe this is the correct answer, but I honestly don't know how many people still play the game on consoles. It might have a sizeable community, I don't know.
>>344044965
Take Two paid 11 mil to get the franchise for whatever reason, so they might be doing something with it, dunno
I may actually try it if it's f2p.
But no fucking way will I ever give them money.
>>344044369
It sold well enough to do a sequel t b h
For those of you who know nothing about this (which is probably everyone).
Evolve is going through a complete revamp of how it works, maps are being redesigned, and the game is most likely going F2P'ish.
They are streamlining the game for the masses since the game at it's core was extremely anti-casual which caused it not to be able to hold a playerbase.
I for one, am super excited for tomorrow I loved Evolve as a video game, it just had a lot of other factors that caused it's downfall. I'm pretty hype, especially since Caira is my waifu.
tldr; Casual-ization and F2P model incoming
More DLC.
cant buy it on steam atm so either f2p or a goty if they havent had one already, because who can tell with the seasonpass/"hunting season" pass trickery
>>344045496
How is evolve anti casual
>>344045520
holy shit could you imagine if this was true, thatd be hilarious
VIRTUAL REALITY SUPPORT
WOAH
>>344044227
>inb4 third season pass
>>344045164
Same here. I was interested in the game until I found out about the DLC nonsense.
>>344045827
indeed, but it would seem unlikely, all the dlc has been nuked from steam
>>344045686
-You need to have extremely good headsets to be able to hear things to be competitive
-You need to have 3 REALLY good friends to be able to have a chance against a Gold rank Monster.
-You can literally get downed without a warning
-Wild life is insanely OP and is used by monster players all the time
-If you don't do some playbook plays different on all 12 maps, you most likely won't catch a good monster player.
-Playing against a 4man premade hunter group that knows what they are doing and you pretty much instantly lose
-Maps are DARK (this is changing) and it really hurts vision
-Moba roles, if someone sucks they rest of the team fails. Much worse than actual mobas. They are also changing this up.
You probably bought into the hate for the game because of 2K, which is well founded desu, but the game is very good at it's core and it's really not for your casual player.
>>344044227
wait
evolve f2p?
id actually play this game f2p
please tell me its f2p
>>344046131
I'm just not interested in the game in general, all I've heard is that they've made questionable balancing decisions further down the road
>>344045520
Nah there's been way too much hush hush. They always teased and posted stuff on new DLC. It could be Revamp, New DLC, and F2P tho.
All I ever really wanted was buttonmapping on the ps4
Jump should be L1, not X
>been on the fence to buying evolve last few weeks
>going f2p now
I've been a good goy.
is it going f2p for good or is it just like a weekend thing?
>>344046131
so its like a dark souls invasion where the invader has increased power instead of reduced?
>>344044329
This is what I came to say.
That game must be deader than dead. I can't even imagine how much money they lost from having such shit execution.
>>344046320
First few month were pretty bad, they got their shit together and really balanced things out tho. Especially these last few months. Problem is no one is around to enjoy it. So now they need to open it up to a wide audience.
It's still one of my favorite games of the past decade, the sheer amount of quality effort put into animations, maps, and visuals is astoundingly well done. Even the voice acting is top notch. Turtle Rock didn't deserve this, 2K better do them right.
>>344046435
they did a weekend thing before, the game was actually alright when they gave all the content to anyone who wanted to play it that weekend
still not great though
and not much replayability
i never thought about it, but evolve wouldn't be half bad a f2p game, just another game i can hop to when im bored cant complain, i already know the gameplay is decent
Guys if it's going F2P then why is it part if the ultimate games sale? The ultimate games sale will be going on when. That countdown is up.
>>344046435
It's had free weekends, never this much hype. I know you guys are just now hearing about this, but the Evolve community has known since January about this. This is going to be something major. This is their big plan to pump blood back into a good game with shitty publisher decisions.
evolve 2
>bigger
>better
>please be excited
>#4theplayer
Hyde a best assault
Maggie a best trapper
Slim a best medic
Hank a best support
Is there anything to do besides 4 humans vs 1 monsters? I only played it a couple of times at a cousin's house and I thought it was ok.
>>344046131
Ok but casual players is how you make money. I don't establish a fucking guild to play every game I want. I join solo and attempt to make up for shitty players.
If I can't do that or the monster can't come back from 4 good players, then it's poorly balanced and deserves to die.
Too bad though. It was fun playing even with AI monsters and hunters.
>>344046570
there's no such thing as "deserve" in the world anon
>spot the f2p weekend
>>344046768
League of Legends style most likely.
You'll get like 4 core and have to pay ingame money or cash for new ones. Skins $ only.
>>344046873
I don't even have any idea about what the humans are doing while the monster fucks around eating animals to grow larger.
Must be super boring to play as humans.
>>344046887
The game is being changed entirely design wise. I'm not certain what is going to happen, but they want the casual players. I truthfully don't mind, Evolve is pretty unique, I really couldn't find another game like it.
>>344044227
announcing that jason anderson has left the studio to go work at Obsidian
I want my Troika godfuckingdammit
>>344046873
Evolve is similar to a moba. You pick your heroes and play a round. If you want all kinds of other shit look at Battleborn.
>noone has posted the CrowbBat video yet
>>344046850
nah nah nah
viking guy or fire guy best assault
sound spike guy best trapper
walter white blue meth revive guy best medic
hank best support
idk the names
>>344044227
Evolve is the perfect example of how a DLC policy could kill a decent game.
Why did they give one monster all the hips?
>>344047121
Humans are boring if you don't know what to do on every map. Problem is that so much has changed it's impossible to get good info without knowing top players.
If you stand around waiting for the monster it's equivalent of your team not farming past 10 minutes in dota and letting the enemy team farm till 30 minutes and then team fighting. Humans are harder to play then monster because it requires team work.
>>344046929
>166 24 hour peak
jesus
there are people i know who would say it isnt dead because theres enough people to play it
>>344046850
I agree with all those choices except Slim, Caira all day everyday.
>>344044329
This
They'd be absolutely insane not to make it F2P at this point.
>>344044227
didnt this game die months ago
>>344047367
>sound spike guy
>best
>useless fucking tether
>the only time a monster is not sneaking is when it is fucking you up, spikes useless
>worst weapon of all trappers
There's no way they'd be stupid enough to release a sequel after the first was an over-hyped disappointment to anyone who played it. You could tell that just by playing the beta before it released. It's probably going f2p in a last ditch effort to damage control a dead game. Surprised they didn't do it sooner.
>>344044227
nano transactions
i can already smell the loot crates and keys
Maybe they'll finally release the neon weapon skin color sets. Been waiting for ages for that.
I can confirm it's a Free To Play transition. That's why we didn't opt in on having the game at a sale during the Steam summer sale.
Another huge update is coming a month after the transition (hunter changes, monster changes, map updates, graphical updates etc).
>>344046419
>using a bumper to jump instead of the fucking universal jump button
how's the autism anon?
>>344045247
info on that
>>344047590
Caira vs Slim is hard to call
Caira and Slim both have spammable aoe healing, but Caira has to stop healing to do damage
Caira has a wonderful speed boost but Slim can make the monster effectively blind
>>344047494
Its a 5 man game. As long as there are 5 people playing, it isn't dead. You can call the other 4 in chat and play.
>>344047671
just what i had the most fun with my friend with over weekend
i should have assumed you're one of the 150 players
>>344047907
It's objectively superior desu, can jump and jet while still having access to all abilites and weapons if you switch the two
The price got removed from steam, f2p is fucking happening
http://store.steampowered.com/app/273350
price already removed.
It's 100% f2p.
>>344047958
but thats not true
not only is playing with and against the same people boring, a matchmaking system rarely holds that up
>>344048108
It wouldn't be boring if you take turn being the monster, and change roles instead of "maining".

Oh god is something going to actually emerge from this trainwreck half a year later?
>>344048312
Confirmed. I actually hope we get a new monster and new heroes. Revamp looks good so far.

>>344044227
Public execution of either producers or developers
>>344048569
Evolve was rushed anyways. They wanted another year, but 2K said no.
Third season pass.
I really hope it goes F2P.
>tfw you loved the free weekends

It was going to happen, but all of sudden everything went dark back in January in order to hype this Title9 update.
What was all the legal stuff Turtle Rock said they couldn't talk about? Any speculation? Crossplay between Xbox + PC possibly? Leaving 2K?
>>344046419
You can do that now dude
>>344048892
>Bucket scum

i played it on the f2p weekend for free
i played overwatch on the open beta for free
i enjoyed my time but wasnt about to fork over 60$ to play the game
i got bored of overwatch in 20 hours when i hit the skill cap, roughly the same amount of content
lol
one is evolve
one is indie shitdead by daylight
not so hard to figure out which one is which
>>344045496
Evolve didnt lose its base because it's anti-casual, it lost its fanbase because the balance at all levels of play was total shit and they left balance breaking bugs fester for months to push out even buggier and less balanced dlc
>>344045496
>>344050271
>>344045686
>>344046131
>>344046320
>>344046887
>>344046570
>Even Evolve is coming back from the grave just to kick Battleborne in the dick while it's down.
Neat.
>>344044227
Servers shutdown.
>>344050467
Evolve is also a 2K game, more like recouping the losses.
>>344050462
>it was fun because people didn't know how broken it was yet
>>344051792
>I can't read
I assume you're talking about the second sentence, where the game was relatively balanced because a new technique that broke the meta hadn't been established yet.
