Prior to release, Evolve received a largely positive reception and won the Best of Show Awards at Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014 and Gamescom 2014. THQ was originally set to serve as the game's publisher, but the rights to the franchise and publishing duties were transferred to Take-Two Interactive after THQ filed for bankruptcy in late 2012. Turtle Rock found difficulty when seeking publishers that could provide funding and marketing for the game. The monster design was originally intended to be esoteric but was later toned down. Inspired by hunting games such as Cabela's Big Game Hunter and Deer Hunter, the idea is to have prey that can strike back at the hunters. The concept for Evolve existed prior to the development of their previous game, Left 4 Dead. The hunters' goal is to eliminate the monster, while the monster's goal is to consume wildlife and evolve to make themselves stronger before either eliminating the hunters, or successfully destroying the objective.Įvolve was Turtle Rock Studios' first major project after the company split from Valve in 2010. The hunters' gameplay is based on the first-person shooter design, while the monsters are controlled from a third-person perspective.

Evolve uses an asymmetrical multiplayer structure, where five players-four playing as hunters and one as the monster-battle against each other on an industrialized alien planet called Shear. Announced in January 2014, the game was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in February 2015.

Like telnet, FTP still has a few uses, but has lost prominence on the modern internet largely because of security concerns, with encrypted alternatives taking its place-in the case of FTP, SFTP, a file transfer protocol that operates over the Secure Shell protocol (SSH), the protocol that has largely replaced telnet.

Coming two years after telnet, FTP was one of the first examples of a working application suite built for what was then known as ARPANET, predating email, Usenet, and even the TCP/IP stack. The year that Abhay Bhushan, a masters student at MIT who was born in India, first developed the File Transfer Protocol.


Here’s more on the history of FTP from MOTHERBOARD: Chrome, Mozilla, and Firefox, citing security reasons, all aim to phase out FTP. At almost 50 years old, FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is one of the oldest protocols supported by the mainstream internet. We’re now in a time when the early pieces of the Internet have started to seem as dusty as a daguerrotype photograph or Louis Le Prince’s Cine Camera.
