Evolve: have your day wrecked by a monster with three of your buddies

[Raggy]

I'm really quite excited about Evolve.

4 player Co op versus a player monster in a Hunter prey relationship that can turn on its head in an instant.

The classes look really interesting and I like that teamwork is essential.

Anyone else looking to get this early next year?

This looks very cool. It seems like a cool concept.

Indeed, I also like the depth of the game where in the early stages the hunters are hot on the trail of a pretty vulnerable monster who is trying to escape and evade whilst feeding.

By the third stage evolution the monster is looking for the hunters and is totally boss unless they work together.

It seems like the hunters aren't too overtly powerful either so the monster looks like he'd have a fighting chance to get away.

I only wish there was a HUD shown in the gameplay video. I'm curious as to how the health of the other players are shown or if its more of a TF2 style where you only know who has low health when you start to heal them or they call for a medic.

Yes I know what you mean. I recall reading on a forum somewhere that health, jet pack, and player names were hidden on that video for the purpose of audience immersion.

Found it.
