The MOBA Evolve is expected to run on the consoles Playstation 4 and Xbox One at 1080p with 60 frames per second. Turtle Rock hopes to achieve this by launch, and will definitely address it in the future.
The site Gamingbolt had the opportunity to speak with Evolve’s producer, Chloe Skew. The topic was the resolution at which the game is supposed to run on consoles. Skew stated that they aim for a resolution of 1080p/60fps, if not at launch, then in the future.
Meanwhile, the tech experts from Eurogamer have thoroughly tested the beta version of Evolve. These results, however, give little hope. On the Playstation 4, the Evolve beta reached 1080p/30fps, while on the Xbox One the monster game managed to achieve 900p/30fps.
Gamingbolt believes that Evolve can only reach the promised ideal values with a Day-One patch. After all, the game is already in gold status, so it’s completed.
PC owners don’t have to worry about such things. According to a report from PC Games Hardware, Evolve runs smoothly there. Well, they would never put it that way. In their words:
With our overclocked R9 290X (1.150/3.000 MHz), Evolve always ran smoothly, even after we raised the resolution via VSR to 2560 x 1600 pixels, the frame rates rarely fell below the 60 FPS set by VSync with maximum details, the graphics memory usage stabilized at around 3.9 gigabytes at 1600p.
Story about DLC controversy continues to simmer
Another story is currently making the rounds about Evolve. The online magazine destructoid uses the controversy over high DLC prices as a reason to recount a conversation between the magazine and Turtle Rock co-founder Phil Robb.
The article conveys the impression that Robb has remained a “gamer geek” who goes to the office in a hoodie instead of a suit, does not hold back his words, and says things that the press agents, the “suit types,” do not appreciate.
However, it seems that Robb is also somewhat trapped in the corporate structure and bound by the laws of the market. The core message of the article, which is based on an “interview from the end of last year,” is that Turtle Rock does not want to give the impression of starting any shady dealings with the DLC:
I don’t like people thinking we’re doing underhanded, dirty shit!
Basically, the interview strongly resembles the impression that the open letter, the forum post, of Phil Robb to the fans gave.
