EVOLVE, who plays and their thoughts?

I'm curious on thoughts on EVOLVE, now that it has been released for a few weeks. Looks like L4D to me and hated that game, but I do love co-op.

 

I played it looks fun and inovative.Graphically its not so great if you consider it uses cry engine 3 and some closed enviroment arena who look more or less all the same.It runs bad on mid range hardware and notebooks with similar specs.I play it on 900p to get 30-40fps cause with my 760mOC.It shouldnt be a probeblem at all for 980m to max it but from very high to low on 1080fps i gain maybe at best only 5-10fps and thats why i opted for 900p very high better than 1080p low!!Scales bad looks avarage but its fun to play Ohhh i forgot to mention that they balanced really good the so hunters are 4 but they strength is similar to one of the main mosters so no advantages if you choose hunter or monster.I find it a bit easier to play and win as a hunter

 

How does it compare to playing L4D?

 

Sorry mate never played any L4D game

 

How dependent is the game on all 4 people cooperating? And is there any game mechanism to punish someone who is not working towards a common goal, team-play?

 

very dependant.You must work as a team.One class is traper which is useful for traping the monster in a certain area so that he cant escaped and you can hurt it more.Healer is also important.He uses a gun to heal team mates and you can also revive them by coming to them and tapping the shown key(all classes can do that).Other two classes are assault and support which hurt monster most and have guns for close and distance combat.Its easy to defeat the monster at first level but at level 2 or level 3 especially its almost impossible.The monster gets too strong.Here you have the statistic of the fist week http://www.dsogaming.com/news/evolve-statistics-5989905-games-have-been-played-since-launch/
Monster wins in 77% cases if it evolves in stage 3

 

Been playing it for quite some time now, the game is very nice if you have a bunch of friends to play with you. The cooperative play is definitely the most important thing when playing as the hunters, a slow dome or heal may cause you to lose the match.

Playing as the monster is refreshing too as you have to be smart enough to evade the hunters and get to stage 3 ASAP to get the advantage against the hunters

 

has anybody tryied maybe new unreal tournament?it really plays good and i can even max it out on 2gb vram(first high texture map came out yesterday).Maybe little stuttering cause its often about 2000mb vram near my limit but its pre alpha and it really good optimized for pre alpha.I get around 45-50fps avarage on max without aa.The best thing its completly free

 

player numbers for this game are dropping fast...even dying light has more players than evolve
