ARK: Survival Evolved Hype thread!!

[BananaKing]

so this game looks awesome and im pretty excited for it. its not a F2P title and that excites me because i didnt like the F2P games that i played before. the concept is the usual "survive/build/explore" but with dinosaurs and extinct animals! (rumor has it law abiding Fifa officials are in there too). the game is coming out a year from now, June 2016, and its supposed to support VR on PC and PS4!!

here is a list of features they want to add from the official website.

Planned Core Features include, among many other things:

- Mac and Linux versions
- Procedurally Generated ARK's
- 40+ more creatures to reach over 70, with essentially every major category of extinct animal represented in some way
- More saddle types including saddle armor tiers and saddles with powerful weapons mounted on them
- Gas-powered Vehicles
- Human/Dino Body-Paints
- Enhanced building mechanics to evolve ARK into one of the best straight-up builder games out there
- More underwater biome/ecosystem complexity, including support for vacuum-sealed underwater bases
- Lots more items, weapons, armors and further advanced tech tiers
- More item skins, limited run event skins
- More bosses and the end-game cycle including the Ultimate Life Form & Ascension
- More biome types, including deserts, snow regions, swamps, and more.
- Steam Economy Support for Statistical Items (Need some Steam API functionality for this from Valve!)
- Way more plants and more detailed plant biology systems/farming systems
- More statistical modelling of status illnesses/diseases (both player and creature)
- Better SFX, more Music, Better UI's, Better Gamepad support (i.e. UI button shortcut callouts), Better VR support (i.e. HMD gun-aim option)

pretty excited for this, if done right it can be an EPIC game. also, there are pre-made maps by the devs and procedurally generated ones! i just hope that guns dont have a big of impact on this game, and that AMMO is limited so the bow/arrow and spear are the main weapons.

Wow, this looks awesome. The graphics look so good, who's making it?

There's a lot of people complaining that is poorly made though. I guess that's to be expected in early access. I'll leave it until its finished I think but I will keep my eye on it.

most of the complaints i read are about the servers. but its still early access, and one year from launch. we have to wait and see how it turns out. there should be a lot of improvement happening in the gameplay its self and every other aspect of the game.

Soooo many survival games coming out these days.

I've been over the survival stuff after 100h of DayZ, but people seem to still be buying this stuff.

Zombies, Dinos, Wild animaly, tribal men, aliens, creepers, skeletons... whats next?

A worm survival game?
