Turtle Rock's Evolve release date has been set along with some pretty sweet screenshots shown at PAX East 2014!
For those who don't know, "Evolve" is the next gen FPS made by the devs of Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock Studios to be released at around July-September 2014.
Evolve will be a cooperative game where four players hunt an alien monster controlled by a fifth player. Both the hunters and the monsters can use unique abilities during the game. The monster player can kill other smaller creatures to evolve and become stronger.
The game will take place in a large jungle, with some industrial elements where players can take shelter. There are also various power ups that can be taken by both hunters and monsters players. Victory is achieved for the hunters by killing the monster. While the monster can either kill the four hunters, or complete a secondary objective such as destroying a human base or power plant. Both sides have different classes, the hunters having: a trapper, a support, a medic, and an assault class. Only one monster has been revealed so far referred to as "The Goliath". The game will also feature a single player campaign although specific details have not been revealed yet.
Oh and the game looks great as you can see in the screenshots below. But can your computer run it?
Gaming Insider Cyberland PC reported that Evolve is rumored to run at 1080p 60 fps using cards from the GTX 500 series, namely the 570 and the 580. They reported that the game was tested on these cards to make sure that even for people with "old" hardware can play this at 1080p 60 fps at max settings but with the anti-aliasing options turned down or changed to a less demanding AA option. It should be noted that it was the 580 that got 60 fps at 1080p with AA, the 570 had to remove AA to get 45-60 fps at 1080p.
However those are just rumors and it should be taken with a grain of salt.
