Time to make my typical "is this a spiritual successor to Evolva?" joke

Excited for how this turns out. Hoping it doesn't wind up too heavily one sided for either the hunters or the monsters.

Love L4D and L4D2. I have faith in Turtle Rock Studios. Also Danzig.

Cool. I like L4D and the Idea of matches just being an evolving tank battle is kinda awesome.

Interesting. I hope it isn't too reminiscent of L4D, but then again, I could always go for more of that style of game.

2K has deemed this game only good enough for a cover of this song and not the original.

I think this look cool...outside of the terrible character design. Creatures look cool though.

@meatsim I think this cover sounded pretty cool and maybe they just didn't want to be linked to a Nazi sympathizer and racist directly? :p

I'm normally all about women in rock, but that may be the worst, most lackadaisical cover I've heard since Sheryl Crow recorded "Sweet Child o' Mine."

I really don't like when people do covers of rock music like this.
Turtle Rock have a decent track record so i'll be keeping an eye on this, the trailer didn't really pull off what it was aiming for the way that Gears 'Mad World' trailer did all those years ago.

I like seeing that CryEngine is really picking up steam, been used for quite a bit of games recently, its a heck of an engine in my opinion.

Game looks really interesting though, need to see more to really sell me though

Evolves? You mean the game where you start with Zerglings and get progressively better units at certain kill numbers?

I am sure if they really wanted to they could have gotten the actual Danzig to sing it....he probably needs the money.

I think all the characters except the woman and the dark grey-bearded man, look dumb. The designs of the characters are kind of all over the place.

The next evolution of Borderlands? That or 2K's answer to the abortion that should have been Overstrike.

I watched the gameplay of this on Eurogamer earlier. Sci-fi guns and giant monsters, this looks fantastic. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for zombies in video games. (Yeah, right!)

God this looks so good.

I'm getting a whole "boss battle" vibe from this and that's really exciting. It's all 4 versus 1. Four players against one really big player who can evolve into something bigger and scarier...

Note the logo is E-V-O-L versus E. I'm guessing the E,V,O and L are the beginning letters for what the four characters are going to be called. What does the E stand for?

Anyone saying that cover of Mother was good is a ridiculous person. They completely sucked all of the energy out of it. It is a song that's supposed to start slow, but that's only for like ten-fifteen seconds and then it heats up. Slow pretty much all the way through just made me sad. Lady didn't have that bad of a voice, but gawd that pacing sucked.

Nice catch. Was wondering why they chose to break the logo up like that, but it makes sense as 4 vs 1 with the E on the end having the same weight (box) as the other letters.

For people who are saying the character designs are bad, according to their website, skins and alternative hunters will unlock as you level up. IGN also has an article with an additional video that better details the game mechanics.

You've got it twisted. The monster's is a backwards LOVE, while all the hunters seek is Ecstasy.
