Evolve from the creators of Left 4 Dead

Anyone remember Giants: Citizen Kabuto? I do. In the multiplayer mode you could choose from 3 sides of the conflict, and one of them was like a monster that could grow and become stronger after eating enough. The rest of the classes were pretty much like soldiers. The monster was called Kabuto and there could be only one in a match, so it's pretty much a scenario when a group of soldiers fight/hunt one monster. Of course Kabuto was far from being defenceless.





Turtle Rock is developing a very similar scenario in their game. They keep saying it's going to be a new kind of multiplayer experience, but I think it has already been done in the Giants: Citizen Kabuto game... Well never mind, because it does sound like a very cool idea for a game.
It is going to be a sci-fi shooter with main focus on the multiplayer. As human you'll get to choose from: Assault, Medic, Support and Trapper, and of course each class has their individual skills, like aiding other players with additional health or a shield. The maps are supposed to be big and opened, just like in the Citizen Kabuto game. The monster will be able to feed itself, which will make him bigger and stronger, also like in the Citizen Kabuto game.



Lately there has been some first screenshots out, so lets take a look:

  1. Man, I haven't seen someone mention Giants: Citizen Kabuto in years. I never got a chance to check out the multiplayer mode, but I loved the campaign.

    Anyway, those screenshots are looking pretty nice. The size difference alone makes the monster appropriately intimidating; add some good animations and sound, and it'll be terrifying to see bearing down on you. Given how much I played Left 4 Dead, I'm interested to see how this turns out.

  2. FACT: Giants: Citizen Kabuto is one of the most underrated, hidden gems in all of game history. Extremely ambitious and groundbreaking game design for it's time.
