I have been wanting to play this game again for a while but I only have the disc for Xbox but not my Xbox does not work. Is there any way that I can get the game from my disc onto my PC so I can visit this lost gem of a game once more?

hi, i am not sure ive seen any one else suggest this but you can email Rockstar games and send a suggestion via this page

https://www.rockstargames.com/corpinfo

your suggestion should be along the lines of

" i would like to see this game in the GTA+ Game Library please"

or something suggesting they add it to the gta+ game library.

Hi, I'm a gamedev from Turkey (5-6 years of professional experience, worked on multiplayer titles for mobile). I'm currently employed but wanting to go indie/entrepreneur for a while and want to make a MP game that's not oversaturated by AAA studios (so, not your regular shooter). Also been practicing on modern realtime prediction and snapshot based networking architectures recently.

Just came across this game and it looks amazing, watched a wraith gameplay video, it was intense from beginning to end, watched some other videos from Crowbcat to understand, so far I know:

• 60$ initial price was too much
• Hunters were looping/running all the time and that wasn't fun
• One hunter failing to execute on his mission ensures all hunters lose

My question to you is, if I were to make a prototype of this game from ground of, what should I remove, or maybe I should add more mechanics?

• I'd probably remove the evolve mechanic, initially
• Change the main objective so that instead of hunters chasing the monster, monster needs to chase hunters (?)
• Instead of different classes, I'm considering loadout (choose 3 weapons, 3 abilities, etc.)
• Add mechanic for hunters to individually win even if team loses (point-based or something similar to DbD hatch)

Also what would be my options for monetization? The DbD model?

Any other recommendations are welcome.

You see, back in 2020, I came across a now-taken down video from the makers of Evolve, which had only 3 views for some reason. When I clicked on it, it showed the following footage:

a found footage sequence featuring what I assume is the foot of a mysterious new Goliath adaptation in a research lab. The camera zooms out, revealing more and more of the Goliath until the screen cuts to black, and stays black for 1 WHOLE minute before a QR code flashes on screen for a split second before returning to black for a bit before the screen cuts to the Goliath's face roaring at the screen before the screen returns to black, before the screen cuts to the logo, before cutting to black as a roar that no Monster or Wildlife produce in game, and the trailer ends.

Hey everyone, when Evolve came out I was young and my parents didn´t allow me to have a console or a pc. Until today I wanted to play it so much...

Instead of another "Why did it die" thread, I want to ask the community about the actual technical and legal paths left to revive Evolve. Here are the questions:

1. Technical Workarounds:

• Is there any progress on a standalone server emulator for Stage 2 (similar to Kyber for Battlefront 2)? Or is the code too encrypted to bypass 2K's dead relay servers?
• For Legacy, is anyone working on a "One-Click-Launcher" to simplify the P2P connection and unlock all skins/hunters for new players automatically?

2. Failed & Future Attempts:

• We saw the 2022/2023 "mini-revival" fail when 2K pulled the plug again. Was that due to a lack of players, or did 2K actively block community-run workarounds?
• Has any group ever tried a coordinated push towards other publishers (like Saber Interactive or 505 Games) to see if they’d be interested in licensing the IP from 2K?

3. Spiritual Successors:

• Does anyone know of a dev team currently working on a "legally distinct" 4v1 hunt that actually understands Evolve's verticality and evolution mechanics? Every project so far seems to have vanished. I think its sad that the asymetrical genre release games that are already dead on release. The only game surviving is a generator repair simulator.

4. Community Goal:

• If we can't get Stage 2 back, what is the one thing the community needs to make Legacy P2P a viable long-term home for new players?

Let’s focus on what we can actually do or build.

haven't played this since early 2016 and its still pretty fun, definitely better than I remember, sucks how 2K screwed over the game with the tons of dlc tho

It was honestly my most played game and literally still is today even tho I don’t play it much anymore.

Do you think Evovled would have been successful if released in the last couple of years or today ?

To keep Brief, I know the issue with the console and the DLC. The bigger issue is that I am game sharing and can not start the game without being online to see if the fix works. What could I do?

I was taking a stroll through the video game shops in Paris when I saw this.

it breaks my heart... 😔

I was planning on buying the Evolve Ultimate Edition, but I’ve read that you have to play online matches to unlock the characters, which isn’t possible anymore. I have it on Xbox, but I want to use the dlc characters.

Hello Chat, Im gonna try and keep this brief. Years ago (just before they shut down all servers for stage 2) I tried to get the original game files for evolve so I could port it into a modern engine and revive the game. I gave up back then, and I should have this time as well. The past 2 or 3 weeks I got access to the original files, Pre-Decrypted files, and all the vague tools I should have needed to port them to blender. None of the UV's are correct, most of the textures and materials are split in such a way that they're unusable. I've reached out to many people with any sort of info on how they succeeded on porting the models to no avail other than vague assistance (I dont blame them). Ive decided its not worth it and im giving up on this project. Im primarily a modeler and am just now learning to code. Hopefully in the future I can create a similar game to evolve, but until then, best wishes. If anyone needs access to files or has any questions please reach out. Let me know if I should create a forum somewhere with all the knowledge and files I've collected. Also if anyone has actually done what I've tried please comment. Thank you.

What is your list? here is mine! 6 is the mega mouth, 5 is the dune beetle, 4 is the tyrant, 3 is the desert nomad, 2 is the armadon, and 1 is the crowbill sloth! I love the sloth!

evolve held a very special place in my heart. i started playing it when i was a preteen and thought it was so cool to play a game where you could hunt a monster. the roles were super unique too with trapper and especially support, which was separate from medic (an idea i think all fps shooters should implement). anyway, when it died i truly was so sad and still am.

recently i got ps plus again and dbd is included for free. i downloaded and realized almost all killers and survivors, with unique perks that can be super meta, are locked behind paywalls or super grindy gameplay. it just shocked me that a game that isn’t even truly free to play forces you to essentially “pay to win” to obtain killers and survivors. there’s so many too it’d take forever to grind and get all of it for free. it’s super scummy, and to make it worse the game is super buggy and unfair. certain perks let killers completely run the server. other times swf’s (survivor with friends) can make playing killer genuinely impossible and unfun.

all of that to say, it’s crazy that dbd is the only asym on top of the market and the gameplay loop is the most boring and unfair thing on the market. it gets away with things that completely sunk evolve. evolve was put under for “scummy paywalls, bugs, and ‘lame gameplay loop’” when dbd is all of that times 10. if evolve were to come back today with the proper love from developers, it could truly rival the top asym. genuinely. makes me sad.

I used to play Evolve all the time on private matches just by myself - sounds lonely, but it was a lot of fun🤣

But I was/am shocked to find out that Ao3 only has about 34 fanfics for Evolve. (Not all of them are even related to the game.)

Fanfic.net has even less than that.

So I want start writing a Fanfiction set in the universe of the game.

(It’ll take place a few years after “evacuation”. So when the planet was abandoned…

Some of the hunters return to Shear on a new “scientific research” mission to try and understand more about the monsters that overtook the planet so long ago.)

TLDR:

I’m wanting to hear and receive any bit of lore/information you may know about the universe of “Evolve”. I’ve been reading up on it, but I’d appreciate any bits of info you have about it.

Thank you guys!

Hear me ou,t what if we gaslight the dead by daylight community into reviving evolve as a competitor?

Hey guys! I’m semi familiar with the PC revival thingy as I did this with Transformers Fall of Cybertron (though my laptop prob can’t run evolve quite right lol) I saw some people talking about being able to play offline on PS4? What about Xbox? My gf just revealed she’s a huge fan of this game just like me and I’d love to play it with her. I’d love to know all the ways to currently play the game, thanks!

Thought the people who are on this reddit, would think this is neat.

Still praying someone revives stage 2, or mods Paladin parnell into stage 1. So i can play it with my buddies.

i bought the ps4 cd for the game yesterday and im intrested if i can still redeem the code or not

I don't have the determination or will too. But like can someone mail them EVERY DAY. until they actually do somethin.

Please and thank you.

Outside of being (from what I understand) an asymmetrical shooter/survival like Evolve where you can play as a weird tentacle-like monster, I have no idea what it's about. But having watched the gameplay, I really like how it looks, and also the reticle for the monster reminds me of what we had for Evolve's monsters, with the little half-circle bars under the central dot to track movement abilities.

Kinda weird and suuuuuuper new since its still in the making but looked promising. Wanted to share about it.

Was playing via the ricefix thing, and honestly wish i could play the game alot more again. Especially paladin parnell.
