Evolve Goes Gold, Releases Opening Cinematic Video

I'm waiting for the beta of the beta. Nono not the alpha.

Buy this game you were going to buy when it came out anyway right now and we'll give you this thing you'll never be able to get anywhere else.

Also, I'm another person who doesn't know what it means for a game to go gold. 1,000,000 sales?

@eccentrix: Gold means the game code has been finalized and the retail discs are off getting pressed.

I love Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2. I've had access to two rounds of Evolve beta testing. I only played the first. I think that just about sums up my feelings on this particular subject.

Still not sure what to think of this game. I'll keep an open mind, but it's not really on my radar right now.

I always enjoy @Alex's flavor text.

@thepooms: Thanks!

well, if the "beta" helps this run relatively smoothly on launch day i dont care what they call it. the "alpha" a few months ago was super fun and i cant wait to play more.

I don't understand why they release the opening video like this as if it was a trailer. Unless your name is blizzard, the opening cinematic doesn't tend to be that good.

Humans seem to be built stronger at that time.

Looks cool!

Meh, an extended video tells me nothing about real gameplay or controls. It looks like a "we're really trying too hard to look cool" game. No feeling the character models either.

Seems like one of the few cases where edited in-game footage would be far more visually impressive than the rote AAA CG trailer. Like, your game looks pretty damn fantastic, so show me how entertaining it can actually be from moment to moment.

Uh? It's a pre-rendered, in-engine cutscene... like the L4D intros and all the material to come out of Team Fortress 2. Custom animations aside, it's about as faithful as you could expect.

If anything, they should've made a story trailer, 'cause the cutscene has like no build up and doesn't go anywhere. It feels weird and random.

@dberg: Disregard the CG line, then. I still think showing #4Real gameplay footage would have been a vastly more interesting viewing experience.

@ganonmaster: When I played it that was exactly how it felt to me. Uninspired to the extreme, doesn't help that the classes felt kinda derivative (the beast was neat though).

Game looks great but honestly from all the gameplay i've seen over the last few months there still feels like there is something missing in the game, i dont know i cant put my finger on it. Also this game honestly after a few months if you dont have friends that want to play this game it seems like your kind of shit out of luck if you dont know anyone, thats kind of how L4D turned out to be after some time.

Game looks somewhat interesting. But not worth $60.
