Evolve Alpha…our thoughts

‘Turtle rock’ studios unleashed their latest game upon an expectant crowd this weekend past. ‘Evolve’ caused a stir when it was opened for public consumption and not all for the right reasons.

Let’s get this out of the way at the beginning, the launch was an unmitigated disaster for the players on PS4…at first the game did not work, ‘Turtle Rock’ stated that it was a compatibility issue with the newly released PS firmware. Needless to say it was unplayable on PS4 for the entire first day of the “Big Alpha”. Even after the patch I was still unable to play it on PS4…this is not the end of my thoughts…

…I was lucky enough to get a code for the PC version as a sorry for the PS4 mess up. And I played this game quite a lot.

Microsoft’s Gamescom conference, news and thoughts

Ah Gamescom, the second biggest gaming show of the year! It’s opening it’s doors in the traditional way, press conferences from the usual suspects – we’re are going to be focusing on the two biggest presser’s Sony and Microsoft. We expect shots to be fired and they should be great shows that are hopefully full of gameplay videos and surprises. However the reality is usually very different from expectation – no doubt Sony and Microsoft will find news ways to disappoint…we will cast out these negative feelings and remain optimistic. Microsoft; it’s over to you.
