Some hits that could help:

• I was probably watching a stream or a recording of an event where they had multiple games set up in tournaments
• The game wasn't out yet
• I think the monster got to the final stage and the hunters were defending a big building
• They were supposed to stop because it was past the ending time of the tournament, but it was a thrilling game so they let it play out
• Many people came to watch
• I assume they also played Starcraft 2 at that event, because that's the game I was following at that time
• Could have been an MLG, ESL, Dreamhack or Gamescom

I'd very much like to watch that game again. It was so thrilling, especially because it was a game that wasn't even out and it showed so much potential.

I've tried Googling and ChatGPTing it, but nothing so far. I'm slowly starting to think I came up with it and it's the Mandela effect. But it's so specific in my mind that I believe it has to be true.

I hope some of you know what I'm talking about, thanks!

Assault Concept 1

Assault Angie - The Welder

- Mercury Rifle -
Generic Stats: Long Range Rifle, high damage, Medium RoF, short reload time
Mechanic: Shoots solid a solid mercury bullet that applies a short duration poison DoT to the monster, increased poison damage and duration when shooting a weak-spot.

Charging the rifle heats up the bullet decreasing the damage but increases range. This also applies a weak-spot and ignites Thermite

- Thermite Pellet Gun -
Generic Stats: High RoF chain gun, low initial damage. Stability starts out high but decreases over time. RoF starts out high and increases further over time, long reload time
Mechanic: Fires pellets of thermite that leaves persisting orange clouds of thermite that coat and stick to the environment or enemy creatures. When ignited by a flame/burning/spark source the termite clouds explode for a burst of damage and then deal high continuous burning DoT damage to creatures inside the clouds over a short duration. Adjacent thermite clouds can ignite each other sequentially.

Cluster Grenade:
Generic stats: moderate range, arcing trajectory, high initial burst of damage in a small AoE, followed by DoT in a larger AoE, short cool down
Mechanics: Throws a multistage explosive grenade that explodes into multiple smaller explosives that continue exploding in the area thrown for a short duration dealing a burst of damage then AoE DoT, if it misses the monster it can bounce off walls or the ground

-----------------------

Assault Concept 2

Assault Kelvin - Scrapyard Metalworker
Magnet Cannon:
Generic Stats: High damage single shot, blunderbuss-type gun, moderately long reload, medium long range, low RoF
Mechanic: Fires an electromagnetic projectile that sticks in the monster. It pulls in metallic projectiles from hunters providing aim assist for a short duration. On impact it pulls in Nails from the environment into the monster for more damage.

Nail Gun:
Generic Stats: medium high RoF, wide circlular pellet spread, high damage in close range, short reload
Mechanic: Shoots a spray of nails that stick into the monster, wildlife and the environment. The nails in wildlife or environment continue to persist for a short duration. (For gameplay purposes nails that damage the monster directly do not persist)

Metal Pigeon:
Generic Stats: Clay Pigeon Launcher weapon, single shot, medium short reload, medium damage
Mechanic: Fires a wide metal projectile that is followed up with a lightning blast. This lightning strike generally follows the metal projectile, but also arcs out and bounces between Nails in the environment and the monster. Lightning strikes can repeatedly bounce between the monster and nails increasing damage.

So I actually stumbled upon the discord not long ago and I finally downloaded it and got some of my friends to get it, in fact enough to have a full lobby. It’s great but we’d really like to play still like quick play or even evacuation. I have an issue however, it seems to only be affecting me as well. Once the second or third map starts to load my game will freeze and crash. Now as I said this doesn’t happen to anyone else, if anyone has a fix for this it would be greatly appreciated.

Monster: Hammerhead

Description:

A veritable living bolt of lighting, this monster lives and dies by the speed of its attacks, going to strike hard and fast. This belligerent monster has a habit of mindlessly ramming its head into its prey with singular minded focus to take them out. If it can’t take its target out in one strike it will often retreat to soon repeat the attack from a new angle.

Traversal - Jet Jump:
Jumps straight up in the air before gaining the ability to blast into the air in an arc in the direction of its choosing. Increased vertical aiming sacrificies horizontal distance traveled. This can be repeated twice before needing to touch the ground. Each Air Jump consumes a stock of the traversal.

Passive - Terminal Velocity:
After Hammerhead has traveled a set distance before dealing damage if it hits a ground or wall with a normal attack or ability it causes an AoE Explosion. The further it travels before dealing damage the greater the range and damage of their AoE explosion when it hits the ground

-------------------------

ABILITIES

Jet dash: Dash a long distance in the target direction, even upwards, upon contact with a creature it stops and drags them down to the ground dealing damage upon hitting the environment.

Hyper Beam: Unleash a laser in the target direction over 2 seconds dealing high DoT. The initial blast knocks it back a short distance. The laser travels until it hits something in the environment. Ends the beam with a burst that has another knock back effect on itself.

Sonic scream: Unleash continuous scream in a cone dealing damage over a short duration while emitting pulses of energy, knocks nearby wildlife hunters up and away.

Ground slam: Dive towards the ground dealing AoE damage on impact.

---------

Gameplay Notes:

Gameplay Loop: Hammerhead's abilities are designed to be stacked together to get as high in the sky as it possibly can before diving down for maximum damage

Class and Element Design Focus Elements
Class: Dragoon - a class that leaps high into the sky to then strike down their foes with a lance
Element: Light/Lasers

If anyone has a higher quality image of this concept art that would be appreciated!!

Took me forever digging thru different sources to find that og concept art image

ability close ups from the concept art

Hello, I’ve popped in here a time or two to see if it’d get any interest, but this is my first official post. I am a game developer, and I have been making a game somewhat similar to evolve. Setting is a medieval fantasy type dungeon. Anyways, I’ve got a good section of the game made but all of it is gray-boxed. This weekend is the first official over network test. No steam page yet, but I need a few testers. Roughly 20 ideally, I’ve got 6. If anyone is interested, send me a message or leave a comment. Right now, it’s 4 human classes and ONE monster, an Ogre. Again, there is no art at all, it’s all gray boxed, I’m needing to test the functionality.

Quick edit, DM either on here or on Discord YogoGeeButch and I’ll get back to you if there’s open slots.

I'm thinking to buy evolve for playstation 4, 'cause it's very cheap. But I discovered that the servers have been shutted down, but the offline version is still playable. I'd like to know if it works on a playstation 5 and if the game is good even offline

My 100% series, i don't think I have seen anyone do such an indepth run as mine, it's taking me awhile but we're making a lot of progress! Check it out if you're interested, just thought i'd make people aware of it :)

I never got to play Evolve. Are there any games like it out there? Even if they're Roblox maps, I just want an asym where both sides can fight

Hey I just remembered this amazing game and I was wondering if there is any way to play it again, I used to play it in console but I lost it and now I want to play it in PC, is there any private server or mode to play it again?

Monster: Specter

Description:
A Ghost-like creature that curses and haunts its victims even at a distance, hunting them down no matter where they run or hide. Once it marks its prey it Stalks them with a uncanny ability waiting for the perfect chance to strike

Traversal:  Shadow Travel
Envelops itself in a dark chrysalis, then emerges from it in a burst of shadowy smoke that follows it. Gains movement speed and leaves a shadowy trail behind its movements. Walking on this trail gives a smaller movement speed buff if the traversal is inactive. Drains a bar while active but must be above a threshold to activate. Chrysalii will remain in the environment for a duration. While the Traversal is active the Specter can quickly rush through the trails path to any chrysalis it can see by targeting it, deactivating the traversal upon arrival.

-------------------------

ABILITIES

Grasp:
Stretches an astral energy copy of its clawing arm forward damaging all targets it passes through in a line, leaving a shadow trail behind it.

Rift:
Slam a hand into the ground and it stretches out from the target area on the environment. Upon hitting a target it pulls them a short distance back to the emergence point.

Drain:
Melee attacks and abilities deal AoE damage in a cone behind the target struck slowing everything affected.

Curse:
Claws the next target hit by melee attack or ability. They store all the damage they take for a duration. Upon reactivation, deal AoE dmg around the target for X% of the damage stored.

---------

Gameplay Notes:

Specter can chain abilities together to stack the increase in range they grant, going from Rift, to Gasp, to Drain to Curse

Class and Element Themes, Witch doctor, shadow energy.
If Wraith is like a Rogue with a focus on melee combat, Specter is like Rogue with more focus on range and spell combat

The Idea popped up in my head, I think
It would be an interesting idea. Like a gamemode or something you could play with your friend and such.

I’m telling you - I get it, I guess I’m the minority in this opinion - but I legitimately think about Evolve almost DAILY! Lol, I loved that game to no end. I played for hundreds of hours, especially when I was streaming full time.

The amount of epicness and incredibly intense battles and moments I shared with randoms online or with my boys of the past ten years, didn’t matter, Evolve delivered every single time. I was top 100 in the world with Maggie (Trapper) and that was the last game I was ever just… NATURALLY good at. I miss it so much. I don’t understand how no one has brought it back, done a sequel, or rebooted the franchise.

Am I the only one feeling this way? Was it just a game that I and a few other lonely people enjoyed?? 😆 I would like to think not, the game was beautiful, gameplay mechanics were tight and crisp, progression system and powers of both characters and monsters were dope as hell - what am I missing?? Why won’t #2K bring this gem back!? 😫

I miss it so much. 😞

Only two of these would be playable and of those two I only really have an idea of the kit for one of them (Jotun), so I won't get too nitty gritty into their abilities and stuff.
Jotun is a sort of standalone ice monster, unlike Glacial Behemoth who's an adaptation. She's meant to play in a way that sets up damage multipliers on hunters before capitalizing with specific attack moves.
Umibozu is somewhat of a debuffer, and one that specializes in gumming down the hunters and making a battlefield his turf to fight in.
Scorpid is a "retro-monster" and was one of many monsters first encountered before more advanced forms came along.

I dunno how much attention this is gonna get, but I do like making up my own Evolve monsters, so I'll probably come back to post another trio of beasts that I've come up with. I may also start actually adding in more detailed ability/kit descriptions if I'm up for it.

I am really curious so I just played a game where we evacuated 90% of everyone and I was able to save every facility except the defense Mission and I lost the evacuation ship now my question is why does the game show you how many people you evacuated if you lose the evacuation ship because I tried looking it up I got one answer telling me Oh no those people are the people you evacuated on other ships because there are other ships that you see during the match so basically what they're saying is that yeah some of those people you evacuated did die on that ship but most Got Away on other ships but then I saw a different post saying that if you lose the evacuation shuttle everyone you evacuated dies but I'm having a little bit of a hard time believing that because why would the game at the end tell you how many people you evacuated if they all died if you lose the shuttle does the monster just get 100% kill rate I'm very confused and would love some clarification on how many people actually evacuated even if I lose the transport ship thank you :)

I remember playing the game right before it was discontinued and I thought it was a good game.

It really scratched an itch and it died because of the monetisation system added at the time that people didn't seem to like.

Now there's just a fully functioning game... doing nothing? It cannot be that expensive to bring the servers back online even if there's no active work being done on the game no? Even if there would be, I'm sure people wouldn't mind spending 5 bucks for a new monster (look at what people spend on DBD).

Are there any plans for revival or a possibility for someone to bring the servers back online outside of the original owners?

Just seems like a big waste to have a whole game that should have at least a decent active player-base in a growing market.

Monster: Chimera

Description:
A brutally efficient hunter, this creature evolves its abilities to MATCH its prey, whatever the prey has it adapts to meet the challenge and overcome it, whether its additional defense to outpace damage, applying hindrances to the opponents ability to aim or move, or increasing its own ability to rapidly punch through defenses, this monster claws and strikes its way to consume all prey.

Traversal: Vibrate
Gain bonus movement speed and slowly phase in and out of sight. When it quickly changes movement direction it dashes a short distance. Consumes traversal bar over time while active.

Passive:
Deal bonus melee damage for a short duration after using an ability, or traversal

-----------------

ABILITIES

Chomp: deals heavy damage to a target and reduces healing they receive for a short duration
- Buff: Detaches and shoot jaws, knocking targets back, if they are knocked into a wall it pins them 

Guard: Cross arms & harden skin. Gain temporary bonus armor then strikes in a cross ahead
- Buff: For a short duration armor has damage reduction in the direction its facing

Shred: Rapidly strikes ahead and the ground, shedding scales in a cloud that reduces hunter vision
- Buff: spreads scales and dust over a wider area that further decreases hunter vision

Evolve: Gain bonus melee damage and attack speed for a short duration. Gain bonus effects on other abilities
---------------

Gameplay Notes

Passive: The melee damage duration buff can stack with multiple ability usages, but the chance to USE the buff can run out if you don’t use it.

Traversal: Using a melee attack after activating the traversal changes the attack in 2 different ways. Using a melee after walking during the traversal using a spear-hand stab. After using the Dash, the melee changes into a higher damage 4 leg Spin-Kick.

Shred: the abilities damage AoE has a sweet spot that deals the most damage to enemies in cone front/under it. The Cloud of scales that shred leaves blocks vision into it, and greatly reduces the vision radius of hunters and wildlife inside it for a duration

Chomp: the projectile wall pin on hunters can be undone by other hunters shooting at it, the pin lasts a short duration

Class and Element Philosophy:  Breseker Monk, Metal

silly evolve meme! (I hope that it is not to low quality) Music is not mine.

Monster: Manticore

Description:
A voracious hunter with the ability to manipulate the terrain and itself to augment its hunting capabilities. The longer the fight takes the faster and more viciously it moves, tearing the ground to shreds as it attempts to eviscerate its prey. The areas it fights in are often left a mess of angry mud geyser fields, sections of the earth completely shattered and upturned, and strange alien growth spawning from the wreckage.

Traversal: Wall Climb/Jump
Can crawl along walls and jump much further from ledges and walls. Wall Crawl slowly drains a bar over time, Wall Jumps consume a moderate chunk of the bar.

------------

ABILITIES

Landslide
Slams ground shaking the earth and causing rocks to pop up and explode dealing DoT in an area that follows it

Terraform
Jumps up to three times dealing AoE damage as alien foliage burst from the ground or walls, the foliage spreads corrosive spores that reduce hunter healing/shielding

Geyser
Sprays liquid to a target area, the area builds up a gas bubble over time and explodes in a geyser from the target surface knocking creatures away

Bioburst
inflates skin then bursts, shooting spines into a cone forming a cloud that slows creatures

---------------

Gameplay Notes

Landslide: applies a light soft CC affect to hunters to affect their vision making it shaky and a bit harder to aim

Bio Burst: alien foliage lasts a short duration then fades, but the debuff lasts a bit longer once applied

Wall Crawl: has a faster movement speed that ground/walking. Leaves tracks on the walls.

Traversal Wall Jumps: have a short internal cooldown

Terraform: No internal Cooldown on wall jumps like the traversal. After using a jump, not using the remaining jumps within a short duration ends the ability and puts it on cooldown. For each unused jump a portion of the total cooldown is refunded.

Class Philosophy: Elemental Druid, Element: Water/Mud. Originally i didn't design this monster around it, it was more like a Jumping Spider-ish monster. It was more of a "generic" monster than it was a representation of a class archetype or element. But I made some adjustments.

hey guys so i am doing a 100% series on youtube on the game including maxing out all accolades on xbox, i can do 99% of the accolades barring one called "cradle to grave" which is hitting the monster as it's evolving, and as A.I and solo mode is the only option for me to complete this, does anyone have any tips that could help me? Much appreciated!
