Trailers on Trial - Evolve to Guillermo Del Toro

Welcome back to trailers on trial, where we break down trailers for games and movies to see what works and what doesn’t. When all is said and done, we pass a verdict as to whether we buy into the hype of the trailer or decide it just wasn’t interesting. Today we’ll be discussing Crimson Peak and the launch trailer for Evolve (because why not be somewhat topical). Enjoy! 

BulletPoints - Waiting for DLC to Evolve

Have you heard of Evolve? It’s an asymmetrical 5-player co-op/versus game in which four friends face off against a big monster on one of several different maps. The concept itself is cool, basically turning the Tank battles from Left 4 Dead into a full game. On top of that, the game looks visually impressive and trailers make it seem fun to play. But why can’t I get more excited for this game? I’m losing my shit over Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, GTAV for PC, and Might No 9. But, while everything about Evolve would normally flip my triggers, I’m just not entirely bursting my pants with joy.
