How many people think Evolve will have enough replay value??

[Burek]

I tried to get into alpha, but it just tells me that the servers are at capacity...

Will give it a shot later during the weekend.

The only reason I am actually trying to play alpha is to find out the answer in the OP, because from its announcement, I consider this game a probable failure. It is online multiplayer only, 4 vs. 1, with strong accent on player cooperation...

a) It reminds me a lot of L4D's Versus mode. However, that was only one part of a larger, more complete game, a game I had tons of fun with...in the campaign,,,
b) Since it reminds me of a), I feel it is way overpriced at full retail. Creating a co-op campaign similar to L4D would definitely bring me closer to buying the game, as vell as prolong the replayability...
c) In my experience with online multiplayer, most people don't care or don't put out an effort to communicate with each other. This will make the game almost unplayable when on the hunter's side... Therefore...
d) It will be a game heavily dependant on party/friends playing... This is actually the biggest reason why I most likely will skip it (regardless of alpha), because I have a hectic and unpredictable gaming schedule, playing games in short bursts when I have a chance, and certainly don't have the will or ability to coordinate my gaming sessions with 4 more people. I would guess many people have a similar problem...

In short, I'll reserve my final opinion until 2K lets me in to play a few matches, but going on specifications only, I would say this game will not be a good seller, and will not be played very long by those few that buy it...
