Evolve Wins 'Best of Show' At E3 2014
As voted on by 28 outlets and Kotaku, here are the official Game Critics Awards winners of various E3 2014 awards, a good chunk of which were stolen by Evolve and No Man's Sky, unsurprisingly.
Fired Community Manager Says He Was A Victim Of 'Outrage Culture'
"There's a lot of—for a lack of better words—politics in the games industry," the voice on the other end of my Skype call started. Pausing for several seconds before continuing, he elaborated, "This game of politics is influenced by outside forces and, in this case, the outside force was this outrage culture that's…

Yesterday I said that Evolve, one of my most anticipated titles this year, plays differently every time I get my hands on it. You can read all about why that is, but you can also just see it in action right here instead.

Evolve will release on October 21 this year for PC, Xbox One and PS4. 2K and Turtle Rock Studios also revealed four new playable hunters, which you can read my impressions of here.

Evolve, the next game by Left 4 Dead devs Turtle Rock Studios, looks fantastic. And while you can't try the co-op shooter just yet, you can see how an Evolve match plays out from any perspective you'd like in this interactive trailer. Yes, you can even see the match from the perspective of the monster.

At PAX East last weekend, Team Kotaku went and played Evolve, the upcoming co-op shooter that pits a group of four hunters against one vicious monster. Yesterday, we talked about it. Here's that conversation.

The company that used to publish the blockbuster Company of Heroes and Metro franchises imploded in rapid and spectacular fashion in late 2012, getting its assets sold off in early 2013. Some of its holdings, like the WWE and Saints Row games, found homes. But the fate of other members of the former THQ family tree—…
The Best New Video Game Logo In a Long Time

The game this logo is for is multiplayer. It pits four players against one. The four are humans; the fifth is a giant monster. So they're evenly matched. This, everyone, is a brilliant logo. (The game sounds like it's pretty good, too.)
Four Players Are Co-Op Heroes. The Fifth Is Their Giant Enemy. Fight!

In a lot of mainstream multiplayer video games, we dress up as a soldier and take on opposing teams of other, similar soldiers. What if there were a game about a team of soldiers taking on one GIANT opponent? Maybe a massive beast that breathes fire? That'd be cool.

Evolve survived the destruction of THQ one year ago and now the game is ready for a closeup. Game Informer's cover subject is the co-operative/competitive shooter, which sounds kinda like, yep, something from Left 4 Dead, for which Turtle Rock Studios is best known.

THQ's bankruptcy filing confirms what we already knew: the company is working on two new games titled or codenamed Evolve and 1666. The latter is under the helm of Patrice Désilets, best known as the creator of Assassin's Creed.
