Fundamentally and mechanically, evolve was and still is a solid game, few games have replicated that feeling of intensity during pvp, from the desperate attempts to flee or dodge when either side is nearly dead, to that zealous overconfidence you can punish a death squad or t3 monster for having. No other game felt so impassioned when I played it, I actually felt like ther were true stakes in those even fights, hell, I was the #1 goliath for 2 seasons, (only died a single time for season 2) but ultimately, evolve had a critical flaw shared by its modern equivalent 4v1 game, Coms> killer/monster> solo que. 4v1 games are just ridiculously difficult to balance, because they have the single most difficult growing pains out of any genre. Evolve started out well rounded and balanced between both sides, but new players verses new players, the monster allways wins, because monsters strength is not limited to cooperation. New players voiced their concerns and complaints, and the devs made the right call, shifting the balance of power while the community was young to the hunters side, giving the game its golden year where matches were close and everyone had a good time. But as the game got older, it trained people into 2 mindsets, the hunters became casual, the role you could slip into for an easy game where limited effort met with great success, and monster mains (like myself) became absolute sweat lords, doggedly chasing wins by any means necessary. And the reason why was that power creep implanted in evolves early days, death squads realized they could beat any monster main with the more broken team compositions, and monster mains who were up against these players that made them feel helpless would take their frustration and sweat out on the casuals. Ultimately, newer players stopped playing, and in the face of the best hunters, the performance anxiety of most monster mains lead them to quit. Myself included. The sketchy monetization of evolve is usally where everyone points the finger of blame, but look at DBD, the modern evolve, the best perks in the game are locked behind paywalls, but no one complains, because the community has casual elements on both sides. Killers that play exceptionally well often feel bad and give hatch to the last man, while also being respected depending on their main and playstyle. And the challenge/progression system rewards you for stepping down from your main to be a baby killer again for a game or 2, limiting the impact of skilled killers on bad survivors. Notice how the more competitive DBD got the worse it was? I think shaking up the meta was a good call, and I look forward to dbd's future, even if it's currently a little off-kilter.
amazing rant love the read but tbf in DBD you’re actually not locked behind a pay wall there’s is this thing called the shrine of secrets which essentially lets choose from 4 every week of out of 2 each S/K so it is slow process by well getting the meta perks when they do show, but essentially you’re just buying the killer really
Pretty accurate. There is a little game called Video Horror Society that just came out, but it might suffer the same fate. Still, It's worth checking out (F2P). Still hopeful for a competitive 4v1 though, they are really fun.
Couldn’t have explained and summarized it better. Well said
DBD?
@@Spacidius Dead by daylight
I miss this game alot i played for a year straight, the fights i got into while it was still doing good were crazy, when you have actual people as hunters it made this game sooo much fun
I am so happy the servers are back online
@@wafflesinsanity they're not lol what???
@@4ktwist979 they are? On pc at least. If you already own the game, down download and play. Ranked servers are offline
@Fukonami its stage 2, was playing yesterday
I couldn't play monster that well at all but I was a Lazarus for days.
I don't know anything about this game but I love watching the different monster evolve, it's so cool 😁
I love how meteor Goliath is basically just a Goliath covered in gasoline that was thrown from atmosphere at a random construction site
I wish this game had stuck around; I always enjoyed watching and playing. Thanks for uploading this.
It still exists..
@@surperdurper yeah but u cant play it if u dont own it ...
I wish this game did well, wouldve loved to see it grow
You mean you would've loved to see it evolve hahaha
I mean if it get enough mainstream then we would have a chance at getting it back and the people on discord did get them to put the servers back up
And see more monsters released
They killed it when a they added a hunter class ability to ping the monsters location. That completely killed stealth as an option even though so much of the game is built around the monster sneaking around. So the hunters just knew where the monster is, which is boring as fuck for the hunters and ruins any kind a tension of sneaking around for the monster. Sure some people liked that change but evident by the games death most didn't. They basically turned a monster hunting game into a monster chasing game. Which was just boring for the hunters and often annoying as fuck for the monster players who like the stealth mechanics before that particular update.
Developers straight up lied and pissed off the community when it was coming out. This was legit being heraled as L4D3 which created massive buzz. Turned out that was a crock of shit so the fan base turned their backs and the game did horrible. Fun to play now for sure but I was furious like everyone else and this is how u screw over a developer that lied
What annoyed me the absolute most is that the devs just deleted the game everywhere. You cant download it, no way of getting to the game now. They literally destroyed it by doing so. It could have had a revival, a new life like BF4 that suddenly had a surge in players again and all. But no, the defs made it so no one that didn’t originally have it can play it… really sad and just stupid…
@@yosup7400 but only on pc right?
Turtle rock were The creators of the game but 2K bought the IP so now they own it and for some reason they let the game die. if turtle rock wanted too they could finish the game and add to it and well revive it but they can't because 2K owns it -it would be up to them for a revival of the game but I highly doubt it bro :(
@@Uro_Boros I own the game on Xbox I just checked it I still have access to it and I can still install it if I wanted to but if you don’t own it then you shit outta luck
I still have the game in ps4
The servers all went down and then their revival project failed and they had to take it down
I'll never understand why this game failed
Because either A. You track the monster down and kill it immediately or B. you spend another 20 min tracking them for them to turn and wipe you. Its like a multiplayer walking simulator and if you lose you walked all that way to literally get stomped. Its not fun.
@@IronStaff7 lame excuse. You can literally trap the monster if ur good enough. I think it failed bc it just wasn't casual enough and so. If this was a free game then it would of been more popular
same reason why back4blood is doing bad I guess both were very aggressive on the microtransaction that it ruined the unique fun experience of the game
@@jrgamer1243 not an excuse. The game is very linear in terms of what you can do
@@jrgamer1243 it was free to play in the second part of its life, making the devs gift all skins and monsters instantly to players who bought the game. I originally bought it, and it just is annoying that the game cant even be downloaded anymore, since the devs were so eager to delete it from existence. The game would still have players if they at least kelt it downloadable with player to player connection
imagine playing evolve for the first time and this dude is the monster...
love this game is back been haveing a hell of a time last few days playing
What I'd give for this game to make a comback
dude i dont even played it and im sad
Randomly found these videos and they are really fun to watch but I have never played. That being said I have noticed something you do that gets you damaged quite a bit. When you are done with your damage phase and turn to leave you run in a straight line and usually in the air in the line of sight of the enemy. They shoot you the whole time you are running from them. I have watched you lose whole bars of health. I'd recommend working on staying low or using cover to block their line of sight when retreating.
i remember playing this game daily right after school
Lmao I been enjoying these videos man. This game is very satisfying to watch overtime.
I miss this game so much. I would play it if not for the fact my disc is gone and I can’t get it anymore. I would buy this again just so I could play with others. This was a gem of a game
you can buy a key on amazon
Good lordi the CD rotation on that thing is delicious and such a quick beastie. Just round and round it goes :D
Never played this game but watched the whole video, you pwned them nice I guess lol. It was great
Evolve was a game i wanted to get when i got my first pc. I got the PC part but it's a shame ill never be able to play this game. I'm glad i can watch recent content of it thogh
I mean, you can play the game just fine. You just need to buy a key elsewhere
@@optidalfprime3904 how much tho 7w7
@@noirloo3159 Seems to be around 45 usd
Man, u literally just gave me hope its back up XD
The game is really cool, but the issue is that it's best when watched by great monster players and hunter teams. When playing it as a solo I struggled with everything: Monster, Assault, Medic, Trapper, etc. Would love to see more Evolve games though, the monsters are epic.
Like most games. Without friends and communication the game is tediously monotonous
i love that game, gimme more of that content
Yes bro look at the views, bring back evolve!!
Thumbnail Goliath looks like he is here to kill chaos
I really liked the long mode for this game when it came out. If it gotten more love it could've been a gem.
I miss the monster actually trying to be sneaking and using stealth. They fucked that over by giving one of the hunter classes basically the ability to ping the monster. Stopped playing after that since it was no longer a monster hunting game and more of a monster chasing game. just fucked the balance and it didn't feel right.
@@isThreeman The sad part about it is, I think that the problems you presented could've been addressed through map design. It's way to focused on just fighting, the whole fun was dropping in and having to actually "hunt". People that say "it was just running in circles, it's no fun" seem to forget that this issue can be resolved through map tweaks and having test servers, plus running in a circle is a damn Olympic sport.
I miss this game SOO much
The player "Alex" did really well from what I could see. He managed to distract you a few times, allowing downed teammates to be revived and other players to do what they could against you. It's always interesting to see the teams or players that you can tell are really good but just weren't good enough this time.
I,m glad i still didn't remove evolve from my stream library. Now i hopefully can play. Again...
man i miss this game, it had so much potential .... think i'll reinstall just to play it for fun
I've never caught it during its primetime, where does one buy it?
Now it needs to come back to Store
I miss this game :C
I love this game
Sad, it was a pretty fun game. Though yes, a game like this is extremely difficult to balance. I once got matched up against a monster that was like on a 150 win streak. That really says things about the game's balance. I still wish the devs wouldn't have just deleted the game and tried to rework it somehow instead.
Did they ever get the servers back up or is it all still one player vs bots?
i miss this game
If this game was free like Fortnite truly believe it would still be relevant with new seasons and monsters/hunters 👏🏾
damn i miss this game! 🥰
Still love this game, please come back or at least let the community host the servers
3:00 Мооощь, годзила на минемалках
Forgot this game existed
4:32 sounds like the ha goteem dude
magnificent
I really wanted to get into this competitively. Unfortunately it probably won't happen. I loved it from the beta to it being deleted by the devs.
How do you make an asymmetrical game competitive?
Wait a sec you can play normall matches now?! Count me in
I never got to try this game. But I feel like it would have been better with more modes. If there was a way to play a campaign with the hunters, and with the titans as well that would have been amazing. I'm not sure the game mode the game featured was really the best mode to get the most out of the characters and abilities. Visually and gameplay wise it looks amazing, but the game mode seems kind of dull to me. It's way too niche and specific. And clearly would get too reptitive with too little RNG elements to really shake it up for each match. The F2P game Spacelords at one point had a great functioning antagonist mode that was 1v4. But that game fell apart and was butchered by the devs. But if Evolve had a similar campaign structure with missions that would have increased the allure of this game so much more 😮
There actually was more game modes for a brief time (one where the monster focused on hatching eggs and one where the monster pushed into a base to destroy it) and it let you que up into a best of 5 where each round would be a different mode but it got cut so they could focus on balancing one mode
God
i watched a few videos from this game now and it looks kinda fun. what was the reason it is "dead" and not on steam right now?
Monetization drama, which has aged like milk.
Men, I missed evolve and staged 2. My golden boy kraken
Is there anyway to get this game now I used to play it and I’d love to get it back
This is the difference in the A.I and humans The humans track and attack way faster( if I am not mistaken Professional Outcast You said in a video with comentary that if were a real mach the hunters would find and shoot you durant evolution you are not wrong Also compare this mach with other A.I maches MG(Meteor Goliath barely losses heath)
It's a better experience when playing against real people. Over the years I've sorta memorized bot pathing so I'm always a few steps ahead of the bots. It doesn't always work VS other brains though which is what keeps things interesting.
Some Ppl write like if this game isn’t existing anymore. So I have news for you, the game is live again with peer to peer server. You can play it online if you have it already on steam
WHOAH! ARE PLAYERS BACK!?
I love this game... Cthulhu next?
шикарно
where are you playing this still i miss this game
Good times.
I've seen it still in my Steam, but I thought this was discontinued years ago?
2K made it so you can play peer to peer now. Got tired of people asking I guess.
I really liked this game never understood why it died out very unique
Balancing issues, primarily because the proper balance for the game looks very different depending on whether you're looking at a match full of casual players vs competitive play. During it's prime, the game was balanced to favor casual play, making hunters more powerful so that they stood a chance against a monster main without need to be on comms and be super coordinated. But since the monster mains didn't have to coordinate with any teammates, their level of competency at the game grew a lot faster than hunter mains did, and the game began to feel very punishing to new hunter players who were just trying figure out how to play. The devs reacted by further nerfing monsters and buffing hunters, but that created major toxicity because monster mains felt like they were being punished for being the better players and hunter mains who were serious about being good started to not have fun because once your team started coordinating on even a basic level, matches became so easy they weren't even fun. So new players left because they were getting flamed by their team for not having a level of coordination and competency than they could reasonably expect to have. Monster mains left because they were feeling like no level of skill could make up for the insane buffs the hunters had gotten from the last balance patch And seasoned hunter mains left because without god-tier monster players to fight against, there was no real competition and thus no real fun to be had playing the game.
Ahh Evolve. The game that should have been.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
i preordered this game the first time i saw it i really hoped it would grow and be played for years to come, i remember years after the servers went down and developers left the game i still would download and try to play it, i hope someway somehow evolve comes back around it had a lot of potential, maybe it was just ahead of its time.. :(
Man I'm surprised people play this still I've had it downloaded on my ps4 for ages and play against bots. I don't know anything of devs deleting it or whatever but I still play if
Not bad
is back online??? O.O
How can you play it? Isn't it shut down completely?
Is it back online or something???
i miss this game, i was a rank 10 wraith main with a 128 w/l ratio with one loss, by far one of my more favorite games for the time it was thriving
I was rooting for Pot Vendor...
It's kinda sad to think this game died at one point. How is the pouplations in this game as of now?
bout 700ish people
Healthy. Put it this way, it takes 10 minutes of searching in DBD. Evolve is instantaneous.
i been tryna find this game everywehre since its dead does that mean i cant buy it doelol
Still waiting on evolve 2
wait can you still play this game?!?!
This Game is still alive? Didnt expect that.
It just got its peer 2 peer matchmaking reenabled after 4 years so it was dead for a minute. It had around a thousand players earlier this week though which is insane
Do people still play this? I thought it was gone
i thought they shutting down the game? i really miss playing this.
that game is still alive while you can't buy it ? i would have loved to play it...
Wait .. didnt the servers get shut down?!?!?!?!!
i've never played it. it looks fantastic! where can i buy this???
its not active anymore, they shut down the servers some years ago :( it was glorious
Who's going to tell them..
@@HK5000baggan so sad :(
Does this only work with "Evolve 1"? Multiplayer?
Yes peer to peer works with both games :)
You just need to change to evolve legeacy
This game is still suported xd
SERVERS ARE BACK GUYS
Wait this game is alive???
this game is still alivee?
If used harpoon tracker
The rock throw and slam combo would destroy hunter health so easily. Greatest game ever. People that didn’t like the gameplay probably just weren’t good tbg
Evolve: Stage 3 when?
WHAT this game need its a hud fpr the monster of what role each hunter is becuase unless you know or memorize what each hunter can do is kinda of a hussle for the monster
WAIT YOU CAN STILL PLAY THIS GAME?
Love this game sad thats dead......
where can i play this game
Monster wins gg
How can you find matches? Isn't this game dead?
monster fly? jump?
Wait how's this guy able to play it still I thought the community was gone since you literally cant get this game anymore anywhere?
It Looks so cool how much does it cost and where to buy it?
Sadly you can't buy it anymore...
Yes you can, you can buy it on any website that has available evolve stage 2 steam keys, since its unlisted on steam and you need a key. The game originally cost 60 dollars but maybe you can find a site that sells it for cheaper
@@not_pugking Oh, I didn't know! Thanks for telling :)
but they had not closed the game ?? can one play?
I was able to kill the hunters at stage one
ill never understand why the devs shut this game completely down i loved it
They lost a ton of players when they gave the hunter OP tracking abilities and stealth was no longer an option for the monster. Went from a monster hunting game to a monster chasing game and a lot of people didn't like that. Clearly enough to put the game on the path to ruin.
where is this man pulling these Evolve clips from. Did he have a secret stash, is this necro posts, private server? I LOVED this game I think it struggled with being way ahead of it's time.
What? The servers are alive? How?
how can you play it servers still online ? please anyone explain
