Turtle Rock belooft enorme DLC-support voor Evolve

Turtle Rock heeft enorme DLC-support beloofd voor hun aankomende game Evolve. Co-founder van Turtle Rock, Chris Ashton, vertelde dat de game zo ontwikkeld is, dat het implementeren van DLC haast grenzeloos is. Zo wil de ontwikkelaar de game een lang leven laten leiden. Ashton lichtte dit toe in een interview met OXM:

You know, in Left 4 Dead we could make new environments, but we really didn't have a structure there to make new characters or zombie types, so we were pretty limited on what we could do, DLC-wise. But with Evolve... we made these modular pieces - the way the whole game fits together means we can make new maps, new environment types, new wildlife, new monsters and hunters, and all of that stuff just plugs into the game.

Of course, people are liable to be nervous about a game built for DLC in the climate of $10 map packs and incomplete feeling products. We're definitely looking to see how the community reacts. It's designed to have a long life - hopefully that works and we get to try a bunch of crazy things with the community after release. As long as people are into it and the DLC does reasonably well, then we'd like to keep making more. At the end of the day, it's a business and it has to make sense, but we believe that we've built a game that does support that really well - more so than any game ever before.

Het hangt dus ook gedeeltelijk af van gamers die Evolve spelen. Als de nieuwe DLC-pakketten goed in de smaak vallen, dan volgen er meer. Het is fijn om te weten dat de DLC voor Evolve uiterst serieus wordt behandeld. Zo kunnen we hopelijk straks genieten van DLC die zijn geld meer dan waard zal zijn. Evolve zal op 21 oktober verschijnen voor de pc, PlayStation 4 en Xbox One.
