ARK: Survival Evolved Trailer (UE4, Dinosaur Island Survival, Beta Signup, MORPHEUS!)

Can’t stump the diablos
According to developer interview on Liriks channel, the game is optimized for 30fps and they have no plans to make it run 60fps on any system.

They aren't targeting 60 fps on consoles.
If you are a PC gamer, you will know if you have a beefy enough rig you should be able to find your way to 60.

They basically stated they want to keep the graphical fidelity high and don't want to make the game look like dirt so people with midrange systems can get 60fps.

Turn down settings until you get to 60?
It isn't rocket science.

Sure, or you could optimize the game. Having a good looking game doesn't equal in low FPS (see GTA V, Black Desert etc.). I mean it's early alpha so that's understandable, but not having any major plans to fix that issue is worrying.

Early Access.

They plan on optimizing throughout the project. This was one of the first things the dev mentions in the interview.
One could expect the game to be much more optimized (and better graphics cards will be available) at release. If the trailer visuals are accurate, the game is pushing the envelope pretty far in the graphics department. It is refreshing to see them not pander to the midrange systems as much as other developers.

Not F2P
Targeting $25 for EA(Discount compared to full game launch)
Targeting minimal UI one of the reasons it's FPS not TPS
Flare gun(Customisable) can be used to find other players

I didn't even notice the giant ass fish in the water when the Pterodactyls is flying at first. Game looks awesome. Hopefully by the time this gets to my hands it still looks this good.

Just shot an email to them in the hopes to grab an interview on our radio show. If we get it, I'll be back here to grab any questions you folks have for them.

Interview was cool, game looks really sweet. I'll probably just watch Lirik play it and get his opinions before I jump in though.

It's hard to believe it looks this good and has all these systems in place when they started in October. They be Wizards.

Was there some additional context for that answer? Cause first of all, even with the reprojection techniques found in the various VR solutions, 30 fps simply isn't going to cut it... and second, if they release this on Steam EA with an arbitrary 30 fps cap, you can bet they're going to get positively savaged by the community.

they aren't going to cap it, they just said they haven't started really optimizing it yet in their 7 months of development so far. He said you can get 60fps if you turn some graphic settings down

Can you ask them about their 30fps target and how they plan on supporting Morpheus if they're not aiming higher?

Yeah I'd like this answered.

I wonder if they're going against Sony's wishes and targeting 30FPS and using reprojection for 60FPS or something. They have to be hitting 60FPS as a minimum for VR.

Hold up! Don't have any response yet about the interview. I'm hoping like hell, but I'll let you know as soon as I do and report back.
Just wanted to get that question out there in case I didn't see the confirmation later on.

If they are it's going to suck for VR.

No problem. I'll either jump in here or make a new thread for questions (never done that one before).

It's funny because just last week we had their composer on to talk about his music he did for Ori, then this happened and I immediately went to him for someone to contact at the studio. He helped out and now I'm just waiting for a response back.

At first I thought that its a well made survival adventure, but then a flying magical structure, giant scorpions and a dragon appeared... I don't think that they have a strong vision of the project if they have to bet on both dinosaur and magical fantasy settings.

As soon as this hits early access I am in. No matter how many times I get burned by dinosaur games, I am always convinced the next one will be great.
 
This looks freaking amazing. It's the dream game I described about a year ago in a Turok thread. Like exactly! Morpheus support? Insane!

Things this good always have catch. Is it coming out in 2017?

Did you not play Turok when you were little? For shame!

they said their goal was 30 for optimization since it's graphically a beast and the game with everything in it so they wanted to have a goal for 30, eventually they will try for 60 but 30 FPS is what you expect from Early Access games

This isn't coming out on console (or will be complete on PC) for about a year. Morpheus will either be out or close to being out by then I imagine.

Morpheus is out First-half of 2016. There has been a few games that are committing to supporting Project Morpheus such as Project Cars,Until Dawn and Surgeon Simulator.


Thanks guys, it doesn't seem like something that's really on the radar for some reason, and TBH I wasn't really looking for news. Is it just me, or is Sony not really focusing on hyping this product? Maybe there'll be more news at E3?

Saw a long video of an early build of this on YouTube a couple months ago that was taken down and I've been waiting for more info on it ever since. I'm sold, as the whole hunting and riding dinosaurs thing has me completely intrigued. I'm all over the beta and early access.
