Forums - Sony Discussion - Evolve Alpha Delayed on PS4 due to network difficulties

2K delays Evolve's alpha on PlayStation 4 due to network difficulties; PC and Xbox One versions remain playable.

[UPDATE 2] 2K has released another statement regarding the PS4 version of Evolve.

"2K, Turtle Rock Studios, and PlayStation continue to work hard to resolve the difficulties affecting the Evolve Big Alpha on PlayStation 4," a representative said. "Evolve's closed alpha test is still playable on Xbox One and PC. We thank our PS4 users for their continued patience. More information will be provided at the Evolve websiteTwitter and Facebook pages as it becomes available."

[UPDATE] The Evolve alpha period on PlayStation 4 has been delayed due to network difficulties.

"Following the recent PS4 2.00 firmware update, we are experiencing difficulties with the Evolve Big Alpha on PlayStation 4," a 2K representative told GameSpot. "As a result, the test on PlayStation 4 is postponed. PlayStation and 2K are working together on a resolution. Evolve's closed alpha test is still playable on Xbox One and PC."

The original story is below.

The "Big Alpha" for 2015's much-anticipated 4v1 shooter Evolve comes to PlayStation 4 and PC today, following its launch yesterday exclusively for Xbox One.

The alpha will be available to download on PS4 and PC today starting at 9 AM PDT / 12 Noon EDT / 4 PM GMT. If you preordered a copy of the game, you're guaranteed a spot. The alpha ends on Sunday, November 2.

 

2K Games and developer Turtle Rock Studios have also released a new "Kraken Interactive Trailer" for Evolve, which you can see below. It allows you to see a match unfold from five different perspectives.

Evolve was originally targeted to launch this year, but it was recently delayed to February 10, 2015. The game's developer, Turtle Rock, also created the Left 4 Dead series. In Evolve, four players fight together to take down a fifth player, who takes on the role of a monster with unique (and deadly) attributes.

Evolve was originally a THQ game, but when the company went bankrupt, 2K Games parent company Take-Two Interactive bought the game during an auction for $10.9 million. For more on Evolve, check outGameSpot's previous coverage.

Hum, Sony should shut down the PS3 online features and invest in the PS4. It is also Gaikai´s fault.
And Obama, in doubt always blame Obama.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Ah ok. It took me 3 days to fully download PvZ GW last week :/ Dunno if it was psn or my internet. Was frustrating regardless. Online play worked fine after.
On a more positive note, not one red "can't connect" error message in DC today. (Leaderboards still didn't load properly)
