There's a GIF for that
I figured this game deserves it's own "official" thread, so here goes.

For those who don't know, Evolve is the new game Turtle Rock Studios, the developers of Left 4 Dead.

Evolve will be a co-operative game where four hunter players attempt to defeat an alien monster controlled by another player. Both the hunters and the monsters can use unique abilities during the game. The monster player can kill wild life and other smaller monster and evolve by going into a cocoon stage. The game will take place in a large jungle, where players can take shelter. There is also various power ups that can be taken by both hunters and monsters players.

I was reading about this the other day; it looks really exciting!
I love the focus on teamplay and the Trinity. Muchos keenness! :p

The classes all play very differently, and you'll have to dispatch with a full complement of the four classes: Medic, Assault, Support and Trapper. (You can't, say, dispatch with four medics.) There is simply no way to effectively fight the monster unless you stick to your class's designated skill: The medic must shoot a healing ray at injured party members, support must fire shields at the assault guy as he attacks, the trapper must smartly restrict the movement of the beast in order to let the rest of the team do damage. Teamwork is crucial, and communication is key. Without either of those things, the monster will destroy you, particularly since the monster player doesn't have to worry about either teamwork or communication.

Yeah! I must confess I got bored with Left 4 Dead pretty quickly, but I'm very interested in seeing how this turns out.
 
Game looks epic, can't wait to see the other monsters though felt the showcase one was a little boring.
 
This game looks incredible! what a great concept! I wonder how long the average round would take? It seems quite fast paced...

Also the idea of different monsters is really exciting! With different strengths and sizes etc... A stealthy monster would be interesting, to sort of stalk the characters...
 
Damn that trailer looks amazing i love the music they used for it, and this game seems L4d meets Jurassic park without the zombies :p
 
So refreshing to see something new and different, I reckon its gonna be a lot of fun.
CryEngine 3 so its def gonna look good, hopefully the gameplay will match the engine.

yeah and I was just saying today how the zombie game genre has become way overcrowded
 
It looks quite interesting, definitely a game you'd want to play with friends (LAN would be great fun but probably not a reality). I'm glad I watched the gameplay video to the end otherwise I would have stupidly been asking what engine is it running on :rolleyes:
 
I was wondering if this would work multiplayer with split screen... 4 mates each with a corner of the screen would be pretty interesting...

Edit : Why did they stop doing this? I used to play split screen games lank often growing up! Has the internet just taken over and there is no need for split screen anymore?
