How on earth is this studio still going after the atrocity that was the first game? Like… Who’s actually giving them money at this point?
After originally being revealed in 2020, Ark 2 has been delayed again until 2028

It’s that weird niche of taming and owning dinosaurs and base building and what not that no other game has really filled. I think that’s why they are still around. No one wants to make a new ARK game, because ARK has been around for so long. And the game is huge, it’s just a janky ass mess.

Ark seems to fit into the same niche that enjoys Roblox, Fortnite, and Five Nights at Freddy’s. That might make a statement about how much money they have.

If original Ark was over 800GB installed, and Ark Survival Evolved in over 500GB, does this mean Ark 2 might be under 300GB?
I’m constantly impressed by how absolutely shit Wildcard is at planning and executing games.

800GB really?
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 9 minutes ago
AFAIK, its actually closer to 450GB, and that is if the base game and all currently released DLCs are installed as well.
800GB is an exaggeration, but 400GB+ is still ridiculously bloated.

Yup. Original Ark has huge, super bloated maps made on Unreal 4, with many clipped terrain layers and hidden objects.

Didn’t an ark sequel just come out?
RipLemmDotEE@lemmy.today 1 day ago
That was the Unreal 5 remaster/cash grab from Wildcard.

Which they love doing almost like the companies only wild cards are cash grabs and milking.
Jtee@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Pretty sure that was their ‘remaster’
