Few independent studios sport the multiplayer pedigree of Turtle Rock Studios. After years of working on Valve's Counter-Strike series, the California-based developer created Left 4 Dead, a post-apocalyptic shooter that redefined cooperative gaming and landed the number-one spot on Game Informer's Top 30 Co-op Games of All Time list. Now the studio is combining its competitive and cooperative design expertise for a new, next-gen only IP: Evolve. Backed by publisher 2K Games, which paid a whopping $10.8 million for the IP in last year's THQ auction, Turtle Rock is taking full advantage of gamers' powerful new systems.

The sci-fi multiplayer-focused shooter pits a four-player crew of alien hunters against a separate player-controlled monster that grows larger and more powerful over the course of matches. Each hunter features its own unique items and abilities, and while the monster may be outnumbered, its size and an assortment of devastating attacks make it a more than formidable foe. Like Turtle Rock's previous titles, Evolve is being built with variety and replayabilty in mind; the result is a novel mix of cooperative and competitive multiplayer elements that's unlike anything we've played before. Gameinformer's exclusive hands-on time with the game's four-versus-one hunt mode left us with plenty to be excited about, and you can get all the details in this month's issue.

Gameinformer's 12-page look at Evolve reveals the first hunters, monster, and unique equipment players will get their hands on when the game releases on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 this fall. Gameinformer also have a wealth of exclusive screens and hands-on impressions you won't want to miss.

Nice one Spec B).  I like the concept of this - if they can make the alien evolve in different and varied ways, it could make for a great think-on-your-feet coop experience.  I can see a few of us giving this a shake if it turns out well :D.

  • Turtle Rock has been working on Evolve for three years.
  • There will be a solo 'experience' in Evolve, though Turtle Rock is not yet willing to talk about it.
  • A studio spokesperson says Evolve will feature "very lush and large outdoor environments" with "a lot of AI wildlife"
  • The monster player will leave tracks for hunters to follow as well as other "visual and aural clues".
  • The monster player will be able to feed on wildlife in order to grow larger and more fearsome
  • The game is designed for 1-vs-5 multiplayer, though fewer than that can participate in a session, with AI filling out the team. Players can switch between AI characters.
  • The story of Evolve involves the settlement of humanity on distant planets. The biggest frontier planet is called Shear. Hunters are tasked with making these dangerous, alien-infested planets hospitable to colonists, though aliens of Shear have evolved rapidly during the course of humanity's presence.
  • While Hunt mode pits four human players against a human controlled monster until the death, the monster player can complete objectives in order to win.
  • Weapons have unlimited ammunition.
  • Hunters can only die and be revived three times before they're officially ousted from the game.
  • Classes include Assault, Medics, Support and Trappers. Assault focuses on aggression, Medics can provide health boosts to the team, Support can apply various power ups and shields to the team, while Trappers can contain the monsters.
  • Evolve will also bost a progression system for both characters and items.
  • In addition to Hunt mode, more modes will feature.
  • Evolve will be supported by post-launch content, but Turtle Rock stopped short of confirming DLC.

Evolve details emerge: large open environments, dynamic wildlife

Evolve: Meet The Goliath
Posted Image

Quote

The Goliath is, simply put, an absolute beast. He’s a massive creature that’s able to pull boulders from the earth one moment, before sprinting off and springing dozens of feet into the air. He’s at once familiar and deeply foreign, relatable but strange. As it turns out, that’s no coincidence.

“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.”

Vids look right tasty, nice find Aro :D.  I reckon this has the potential to be one of the better coop games this year (and presumably one of the better "I feel like a rampaging monster" games as well B)).

I'd say this'd be #1 on my MP radar second half of this year.  Destiny looks good, but this one looks the most interesting from my angle, top vid Spec :D.
