    This game looks damn good, but I want it on Steam.

    Just checked and they're the only ones not allowing pre-order.

    ffs.

    There's an Evolve key lottery thing on the front page just now. It needs your e-mail address instead of using the one you registered with, so you don't even have to register for EG at all.

    Of course this'll mean that your chances are fairly slim because key hunters do't even have to have registered on EG at all, but the option to try is right there. That's also why you'll inevitably see people with one post asking for keys in broken English soon enough in this very thread, if past experience is anything to go by. Not that there's anything wrong with that :)

    Get ready for my pleas in broken english if I don't manage to get a key for it.

    I'm really looking forward to this game and am very keen to try it.

    Watching a stream just now. Looks the Muts - http://www.twitch.tv/sacriel

    Archived version* - http://www.twitch.tv/sacriel/b/582467356

    *I'm watching live so not 100% if that link works but I think it should be OK.

    SPAMMER! Wait... sorry, false alarm. Ron's cool :)

    I've not actually watched any gameplay until now, and it's not what I thought it would be like at all. It's probably a bit better than I expected. I love the range on the medigun thing. I've not been watching but I can imagine the trapper type character being very useful. Not seen him yet though.

    Edit: As I typed that a trapper went to work. Quite cool stuff.

    Oi!

    :D Yeah, it looks great. This is my first real look at it. The squad mechanics in particular look very interesting.

    Same! Mental coincidence after posting the stream earlier.

    [Edit] Hmm, The email from EG states:

    'Congratulations - you've just got yourself an Evolve Alpha key, and you're now guaranteed access to the forthcoming Big Alpha'
    But some text on the code redemption page makes me wonder:

    HUNTERS AND MONSTERS WANTED

    On behalf of 2K and Turtle Rock Studios, thank you for your interest in the upcoming Evolve closed alpha test. For a chance to experience the 4v1 action and help us further test Evolve, join the hunt and register by filling out the information below.

    Err... Hate these elaborate processes that apparently requires not one but two codes, one of which is the actual code whereby you might still not end up on the receiving end of (if not also pre-ordered the game through "participating" retailers).

    Fingers crossed indeed.

    Well, it makes the process for sites like EG easier, since they don't have to deal with giving out keys for three different platforms.

    Definitely want to give this a try, although I don't think the game is for me because I mostly play solo, and it seems to require good teamwork if you're a hunter.

    Sadly, having excitedly checked my email full of hope, I've got fuck all by the looks of it.

    :(


    My poor luck with trying to win the lottery also continues. ;-)

    Just got the download code as I'm in the preview testing. Like how you can redeem the code in the message via one button press instead of typing the whole code out.

    They must be handing out Alpha codes like sweets. I have TWO spare XBO codes now.

    Anyone want one?
