The new Evolve trailer has hit the interwebz, and boy does it look promising
For those of you who didn’t know, Evolve is a four vs one, cooperative and competitive, first person/third person shooter. You play the game as either one of four hunters in first person or an alien monster in third person, and go head to head in a sort of chase or be chased, hunter/hunted aggressor/runner stealth and open combat game. Basically if you’re the monster you want to stay away from the other players as long as possible, eat a lot and make yourself bigger and more powerful. When you play as one of the hunters though you need to work together with your team if you want to be successful and take this alien down as quickly as possible, otherwise the monster may end up coming after you. Here’s the new trailer which should give you a better idea of what goes down:
The new trailer shows us some new playable characters, weapons, abilities and general gameplay, it’s clear from this new trailer that this game shows a lot of potential. You can play as a robot and fly around as your own head!? Yes please! What other game has that? But one thing the trailer doesn’t showcase is the monsters point of view, they do look pretty powerful and seem to be able to take a lot of damage, but what abilities, if any, do they have? As I flicked through the comments of the video I saw that some people are afraid that the monster might be under-powered, I’ve got to say that some of that negativity rubbed off on me, but I’m still highly confident that the monster will hold his own, I suppose it just matters on how well these players work together. It’s quite obvious too that Turtle Rock studios just aren’t ready to show us more of the monster side of things yet, we can’t go jumping to conclusions until we actually get some perspective.
