E3 2014: Don't Let the Birds Give You Away in Evolve

oh god plz me too. i need ps4 friends for this game!!!

I am so gonna get this game....ON PC!

Yeeeaaah electric squid-monster!

I do as well. I love the Chtulhu-esque monster design. This has me so much more excited than the monster designs they had shown previously.

Looked like an interesting co-op experience at first with a nice atmosphere. Was totally on board until the "play as the monster" part which could mean its a human vs monster multiplayer game like L4D/Natural Selection... and balancing that stuff is really hard to get right. The monster can't be too OP because then its not fun to face it if you're a grunt, but if you're playing as the monster you don't want to just be a bullet sponge that's easy to take down...

Ah that's pretty clever.

Did anyone else expect that song to be Mechanical Man? The opening loop is extremely similar (from 0:09):

The game itself is an interesting concept, but I fear it will become little more than a chaotic melee in practise.

ooooooooooooooooo now i see it!

Getting a serious Aliens power loader vibe from the first person persecutive of the support.

The monster design is cool, but no part of the gameplay looks interesting to me.

Looks pretty cool, but is it the same set up as left for dead? Just not into multi-player only shooters.

@glottery: ill be your friend if you have a ps4 :D

I reeeally friggin like that monster design. This game looks rad as hell.

I got really worried that this was an XONE exclusive from the end of that trailer (only box shown, "only on XBOX ONE" stuff) until I read the website. I'm already kind of sick of the idea that betas will be platform exclusive. I mean, who cares?

and the fact that it works both ways EvOLVE or EVOLvE.

Only on Xbox One?!

@professoress: Word, I never thought of that. I didn't even know there was gonna be a medic.

- or that L4D talent was involved. Left for Dead is the only FPS I've ever dug into. Now I'm actually more interested in playing.

It's more like a Starspawn.

( which basically just is a miniature size version of Cthulhu.)

@hellknightleon: I think the game logo implies four small things VS. (v) one big thing. It took me a minute to see it.

@professoress said:

Haha, I'm exactly the same way. MEDIC4LYFE

Wait, what logo?!? They all seem... bluh. The turtle it kinda neat... if you like turtles.

Imma main Cthulhu.

Oh man, I never even noticed the title graphics/logo thing before. That's pretty neat.

I will never not play a game with a MEDIC class. I have a sick fetish for ruling FPS games where I can mitigate my atrocious ability to aim via support.

And the best part is, no matter how good that medic class is, no one will want to play it and you'll all be waiting, begging, praying for me to show up.

If they keep it interesting with new monsters, maps, and characters for free (kind of like PvZ: Garden Warfare's current model), I'm totally down for this. If the game is launched with a four character classes, 3 monsters, and two game modes, and I see a "season pass" anywhere in the marketing... no thanks.

Looks pretty. Now I just need some online friends...

So far the cleverness of the logo is my favorite part of the game.

It looks awesome, but I'm afraid it will drown in Octobers' madness
