Evolve has launched, so you know what that means: a launch trailer! In case you’ve been living under a rock, Evolve is from the guys who originally made Left 4 Dead with Valve. It takes the co-op shooter vs. zombies idea and updates it to a co-op shooter vs. a giant beastie. 1 guy hunts down the four other players who are trying to kill him, making the game 4v1. It’s interesting to see more asymmetrical gameplay, similar to some of the things Nintendo has tried with the Wii U. Anyway, if you’re not sold yet, watch this trailer and maybe the game will be sold to you later! (Alright, that was horrible.) Read more…

To promote their upcoming game Evolve, Turtle Rock has released a full match recording on YouTube, featuring all four classes and the Goliath. It’s a little unique as far as gameplay videos go: it has recordings of every single viewpoint in the game, and you can switch between them by clicking on the annotations near the bottom. Just make sure not to click the “commentary” button, unless you want to hear an overly enthusiastic announcer holler “oh, what a play!” I’m hoping there’s enough variety in the monsters and maps by the time Evolve comes out later this year, as this seems like a fun pick-up-and-play game with a bunch of friends.

If the name Turtle Rock sounds familiar, it’s because they’re the crew that originally made Left 4 Dead. Once they were acquired by Valve, they made Left 4 Dead 2 and its accompanying DLC, but then split off back into their own company (some staff stayed at Valve and others returned to the original studio). Now, after dealing with the hassle of the THQ (their original publisher) bankruptcy mess, they’re now being published by Take-Two and 2K, and are back with a brand new multiplayer game: Evolve. Four players act as hunters on one team, and one player gets to be the monster they hunt. There’s a variety of classes and monsters to play as, and it sounds like a great twist on what made Left 4 Dead so much fun. Check out some images below or visit Game Informer’s page for the game that’ll have frequent updates with more details. Read more…
