This is just a weird idea I had. Ark as it is now is a mess full of patches and redundancies in its code, not to mention code that doesn't do anything. So I was thinking when Ark is complete and winding down in the shadow of Ark 2, it would be cool if a remastered version of Ark were to be made. I see this as something that would be probably at least four to five years down the line.
First off, the game would be made to run smoothly. Unfortunately, this means that Ark would need to be recreated from the ground up. But this isn't entirely bad news, since it would be fully based on the original. The game could be made to run better on less powerful systems. The result could even be a game that can run smoothly on the Switch.
Second, and this is important to me (and likely a surprising number of people), the ENTIRE game would have a physical release. There would be no need for downloads. This will save a ton of space on the hard drive. It would most likely be multi-disc (or multi-cartridge).
Thirdly, the game would have single-player and multi-player modes. If there is no internet server, then atleast the option of playing locally with friends.
Fourth, the remastered Ark could have new creatures. I don't know what they would be, but I have some ideas. Also, creatures from the free maps (like Deinonychus or Tropeognathus) could have spawn spots on story maps. Since it'll be a recreation, the sky's the limit.
Like I said, this is down the line. But I'm willing to wait five years for a complete Ark collection.
(For those of you who will say there already is an Ark collection... there isn't. It's not for any system I own, and most of the content has to be downloaded. I prefer games that I just pop in and play, like in the old days. There is no reason Ark could not be made this way.)
