    Its a hero shooter made by an outside developer with a questionable-at-best track record, and they've said that they're not focusing on the one mode that is still taken seriously in quake.

    Its like, they're very transparently trying to make a cash grab esports with microtransactions game, and almost going out of their way to ignore why people still choose to play the original games instead of whatever flavour of the month shooter is in right now.

    I mean, ok, this clearly isn't the game for me, but I don't understand who it is for. The crossover between people who will be pulled in by the quake name, and people who want to play a second rate overwatch clone has got to be close to 0.

    I can understand being leery of Quake Legends given how that company hasn't produced great things

    but it could be okay? I dunno.

    All I know is that Half-Life 3 is gonna be garbage.

    It's a modern designed entry in the Quake multiplayer franchise. It's taking classic elements (arena shooter gamplay) and combining them to contemporary design ideas. (Like character based abilities). It's basically what the new Doom was. It's not intended to replace classic Quake, because nothing is really ever going to replace that. It'll still be around with the same set of heavily dedicated fans playing it. And really, I doubt they'd be much into a new Quake anyway, unless it was a 100% faithful reproduction (in which case, why not just slap a new coat of paint over the original?).

    Also, about the only thing it seems to have in common with Overwatch is character abilities, and even then its set up completely differently (an active and a passive power, rather than a slew of powers and an ultimate) so calling it a second-rate Overwatch clone seems a bit premature, especially when we haven't seen a single shred of gameplay yet.

    Yes yes I would play this

    Usually the malevolent rulers are pretty clever to go along with their charisma

    I want to play through one where they're just completely inept in every way but somehow still on top

    So Evolve IS going free-to-play

    http://www.shacknews.com/article/95723/evolve-launches-free-version-on-pc-today
    We’re reworking the hunter classes to make the team less reliant on having experienced trappers and medics.
    We’re making improvements to the maps and UI.
    We’re improving load times, overall performance, and getting you into the game faster.
    We’re focusing on improving stability and fixing bugs.
    We’re completely reworking our progression system and tutorials.
    We’re adding more customization options.

    I'm wondering why they're waiting NOW to do some of this stuff?

    Maybe their pitches for a new game haven't gained any traction, so they need to start making more money from Evolve

    Left 4 Dead was a better game with more content though

    They wish Evolve was Left 4 Dead

    And when the first Left 4 Dead hit, it was criticized for having too little content, and they churned out a sequel the following year

    Evolve's reception was people finally catching on, its lack of success was deserved

    Evolve was fun when I played the beta but not fun enough to spend money on. If my computer was good enough to play it I'd definitely be giving it a shot.

    Turtle Rock does have a second product in development, I assume Evolve going F2P was just a cheap way to try to make some money back on it. Expect Battleborn to be F2P within a year as well.

    Evolve was dead before IT came out.

    Like forcibly installing it on people's computers then demanding back-payment, ransomware-style?

    They patched in micro transactions but yeah I'm super surprised they haven't gone free to play and then given everyone who bought it a bunch of fun bux credit or something

    Can't you just host your own game temporarily like other Source games?
