I genuinely disagree. It's not just hey, it's a success. Make another. It's hey, we have hundreds of employees and shareholders and blah blah blah. Nothing is guaranteed s

ARK II Announced starring Vin Diesel and Animated Series (Xbox Series/PC)
- Thread starter CountAntonio
- Start date
So what, you think the studio would have followed up their hugely successful game that made them tons of money with nothing?
Anyway, ARK came out first on Xbox if I remember right (after PC obviously) and the team isn't exactly very large and struggles as it is to get their games running decently on a small number of platforms so it's not at all surprising to me that they're releasing on just PC and Xbox (at least for now).
Alao, it's bullshit. Ark made a lot of money, it wasn't some struggling IP that needed the support of a big publisher.
Saw this one on reddit
People can be so dumb on the internet... I love it! lmao
How soon before Microsoft goobles this studio up? The MP alone could go on for years. Its a perfect game for them.
watching the trailer live i thought they were Dad of War'ing Turok, and I am vaguely peeved that this game is not Turok: Dad edition.
That being said, good on the team for being able to put out a high profile release after their original indie success. Must be cool for them to be able to work with star power after humble origins.

Explorer Notes that explain the story Souls style via flavor text. There has been a concentrated effort making videos of these stories on YouTube by fans. My enthusiasm for the animated series has been...reticent since I don't know how true to the characters and the story they'll stick.
Thought this was Turok
Me three. lol I sorta wanted it to be Turok
I did only because I was like "well this is the only way it can happen...with vin diesel .
but I didn't want it to be because again... Vin Diesel.
Maybe one day ...one day.
I always thought so, but apparently it's a different dev/publisher and they share a support studio.
Edit: I was wrong, sort of. Grapeshot games is a spin-off team from Wildcard.
Atlas: Wildly Ambitious Pirate Game About Everything From Building Ships To Governing Territory
The number of systems in the huge new game from the creators of Ark: Survival Evolved is almost ridiculous.

It will be cool and it will be fun it's just the trailer was ass with wooden animations and the most random Vin Diesel unnecessary appearance.
I'd like to know more about this. Is there a narrative? I thought it was just realistic minecraft with dinosaurs. I never got into the fort/camp building with limited resources type games but if the singleplayer is actually fun, I may be in.
I legit thought this was going to be a Vinny D Turok reboot when I saw the trailer. Edit: lol, I'm not alone.
I'm looking forward to it, looked decent enough IMO; I was actually surprised to see the negative takes on here and twitter but I guess, ya know "Xbox" and all that.
So, the little I can find on this is that it's just "more ARK"? Cool. Last thing I needed was another game to lose dozens of hours to lol
I know ARK is big, but this is still flabbergasting to me. But not in a bad way
This is incredible lmaoSaw this one on reddit

Well, the handling of that game makes me cautious of ARK 2, don't know the state of ARK 1 currently but my perception of it ain't positive.
Dunno if this has already been brought up, but that "cinematic" trailer gave me strong Bullets by Creed vibes.
My reaction was, oh a new Horizon trailer. Then, Vin Diesel cameo? New enemy? Turok reboot? Ah Ark 2. What a ride 😁
Basically the goal is to collect resources, build up a base, tame (and optionally breed for better stats) creatures, fight the bosses and "ascend". The lore is found by reading explorer's notes scattered across the maps. The lore is actually pretty deep.
For the full story, you play through (maps) the island, scorched earth, abberation (amazing map!) and extinction. Genesis maybe part of those too, but I haven't played that yet.
You can play through the optional maps too (the center, ragnarok, valguero, crystal isles, etc.) but they're not canon; just officially supported expansion maps. They're best for setting up dedicated servers with a group of friends.
I know usually corporate takeover is bad but holy cow, if Microsoft actually snapped up Wildcard and put some good devs in there it'd be insane.
ARK has so so very much potential that is squandered by either poor management or unwillingness to change and adapt. Everything they do with ARK seems to be 1 step forward and two steps back.
Just give the players some more customization for how they want to play and you'd be golden as a very easy start.
I suspect Ark II is an early access title in 2022 like Ark I was. It's not that unpopular to say that Sony's early access support/infrastructure is… lacking to put it kindly, which is partially why games like PUBG, DayZ and Ark came to PS4 later and other titles like Ooblets, TABS, Atlas and Session have yet to hit.
Now, is there an element of moneyhatting here? Probably, in addition to dev support like PUBG got, but Sony also needs to step up their early access game. They're getting better allowing Spellbreak and TemTem on the system.

This. I'm REALLY not sure about ARK 2 and am somewhat cautious about the animated series since they seem to changing a lot of things from the games lore which is something I'm never a fan of(felt the same way about the Soulsborne comics).
