Bring it on.   Looks like the year for co-op games and add ons!!

[Hasan-I]

Man this game looks like a lot of fun! I like how in the video Straussy posted, the robot takes off his head and uses it as a uav... so cool, great animation for it too!

Delayed until 10th of Feb 2015 (in the US, but presumably somewhere near that in this neck of the woods as well), from my angle it makes things a little easier, as I was tossing up between Destiny and this (doubt I could have played both enough to justify getting both at launch), but those who were hanging out for Evolve but not Destiny have my sympathy.

Agree - was far too much coming out at that time this year... this was a must on my list along with DA:I and Destiny so good to see it pushed back hopefully for the better as well.

Something to make the wait harder.

There's going to be a closed alpha for Evolve happening around the end of this month (October 31st - November 2nd, maybe starting on Nov 1st due to time difference). You need a code to register, and thankfully the PS Blog has given one out for a chance to participate in the PS4 version, so sign up quick if you're interested . The code will expire at some stage.

Details are in the following link:

http://blog.eu.plays...-ps4-halloween/

People who have pre-ordered the game by October 21st are already guaranteed access to the alpha.

[Axe99]

Cheers for the info Live. could be a fun alpha to be a part of, all the previews at the trade shows have sounded like they were pretty solid code-wise .

[Okeefeiscrazy]

Well I'm in the alpha, on PC of course, its a bit of a download though.

[Hasan-I]

Downloading the alpha on the PS4, will hopefully get a game or two in before it ends.

[Axe99]

Just a bit there Okeefe!  Hope it goes well lads, interested in whatever you can let us know without Turtle Rock needing to send the boys over .

[Saintsy]

Jesus... That would take me nearly a week to download aha :/

[straussy240]

Downloaded the alpha on ps4 and thought I would give it a try before going out tonight...but the servers are at capacity.

I downloaded 14 gigs of data ffs

[Hasan-I]

Yep, same here. Couldn't connect... Atleast it's not the full game that is having the problems.

[AroGantz]

Same here, I am guessing it will be online from the 31st US time.

Looks like firmware issues have broken the PS4 alpha, word is:

Quote

"Following the recent PS4 2.00 firmware update, we are experiencing difficulties with the Evolve Big Alpha on PlayStation 4. As a result, the test on PlayStation 4 is postponed," the publisher stated. "PlayStation and 2K are working together on a resolution."

Thankfully, the alpha is still playable on Xbox One and PC.

PS4 owners with an Xbox One or PC can claim a code on those platforms by filling out the Big Alpha registration form and using following character code: 05379-29749-32069.

EVOLVE’S FOURTH MONSTER: BEHEMOTH!

It is the largest monster in Evolve. It is the largest monster there will ever be in Evolve. He was literally made as large as we could make him.

Everything the hunters have learned, how to deal with Goliath’s epic Leap Strike and Flame Breath, how to jetpack dodge Kraken’s Lightning Strike, how to recognize Wraith’s Decoy, all that is useless.
Against Behemoth, it’s a new game.

Hunters must now deal with a rolling juggernaut. A creature so powerful it summons massive walls of rock to block off the terrain, isolate and destroy individual hunters, or shield itself from their weapons. It hurls exploding blasts of magma at anyone foolish enough to fight it.

Behemoth is so large, he cannot leap or jump. He moves by rolling across the landscape like a juggernaut. He can climb, but just as the hunters must develop new strategies, so must Behemoth players. Climbing is slow, and when you are slow, you are an easy target. It’s almost always better to roll away.

He has the most armor, the most health and you do NOT want to be on the receiving end of a punch. He’ll need it. Because he’s so big, he’s slower and presents a much larger target.

No humans can stand against it. The hunters are doomed.

Here’s why…
Lava Bombs: Effective at short and long range, these mortar bombs shatter into fragments and continue to burn the area around them, including any Hunters who find themselves in the damage radius.
Rock Wall: Creates a large, semi-circular rock structure that either traps victims inside with Behemoth, or locks him away from attackers.
Tongue Grab: Behemoth uses his harpoon-like tongue to snatch a distant target and pull it into melee.
Fissure: A wave of destruction blasts out of Behemoth, fracturing the terrain and scalding and stunning everything in its path.

Come say hello, big guy.

Nice one Spec .  I reckon Evolve could be the first big MP game of 2015 .
