Evolve krijgt Day One-patch van 3GB

De release van Evolve is aanstaande, want vanaf morgen ligt de game in de schappen voor PlayStation 4, Xbox One en pc. Zoals tegenwoordig gebruikelijk is bij veel games, zal ook ontwikkelaar Turtle Rock Studios een Day One-patch uitbrengen die je direct kunt downloaden en installeren als je Evolve in huis hebt gehaald. Deze patch is 3GB groot en zorgt onder andere voor kortere laadtijden en voegt verbeteringen toe aan het matchmaking-proces.

Daarnaast heeft Turtle Rock met behulp van feedback uit de Big Alpha en Open Beta van Evolve de vaardigheden van diverse hunters en monsters wat aangepast om de game zo gebalanceerd mogelijk te maken. De volledige lijst met verbeteringen die Turtle Rock Studios in de Day One-patch van Evolve doorvoert, lees je hieronder:

Balancing Tweaks
We already noted this in an interview with Turtle Rock’s Chris Ashton, but we are constantly adjusting things in the background so that every Hunter and every Monster is finely tuned. What we learned about what’s being done to Wraith alone was eye-opening. A lot of the data gathered from the Big Alpha and Open Beta weekends helped us make these tweaks.

Game and Level-loading Optimizations
As we strive to push the engine and cram as much as possible into your Evolve experience, we’re also working are to optimize performance on your system. These improvements range from load times to improving matchmaking and network bandwidth optimizations.

General Bug Fixes
During the Big Alpha and Open Beta periods we asked you – our community – for your help and feedback. We are addressing bugs found during our tests and we have you to thank for making Evolve that much stronger with this patch.

New Elite Skins
After the Big Alpha, we wanted to rework the Elite skins for Hunters and Monsters based on feedback we got from the community. The results of those requests are right here in this patch. We’ve updated or outright replaced the assets that were already in the game. All you need to do to unlock them: earn them.

Connectivity to the Evolve Hunters Quest App
This patch adds connectivity to work with Evolve Hunters Quest. We recently unveiled the game / companion app for Evolve. In one respect, it’s a fun Match-3 puzzle combat game. But it also has ties into the main console game through the my2K servers. Earn experience and watch overhead match replays through the app. Best of all, it’s free for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.
