StudioWildcard Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 While we're going to wait to reveal the gameplay of ARK Survival Ascended until it's near final-form, we want to show you how we're approaching the new game artistically. ASA is much more than a complete technology overhaul, we are also going through and revising the artwork by hand for a new conception of the worlds of ARK. Here's a first look at what "Remaster" means in ARK Survival Ascended: Stay tuned to subsequent Crunches for more looks at the re-envisioned style of ARK Survival Ascended! We couldn't leave you with our previous ARK 2 Carnotaurus reveal without showing an example of our new-look dino armor! The team is thoroughly enjoying designing armor to make your favorite tames both protected and eye-catching. We look forward to seeing what players do with the arsenal options! You still have the weekend to vote for which creature will be added to Scorched Earth for ARK: Survival Ascended! The second round of voting ends on May 1st at 4 PM Pacific. The winner* will be announced in the Crunch Friday, May 5th 2023. Rank the creatures in order of most preferred to least preferred The vote is limited to 1 submission per person (duplicate entries will be discarded) Below are the candidates that have made it into the final 10. Find out more information about the creature by clicking on the hyperlink attached to the name. Gigantophis Giant Moa Bastion Beetle Gigantoraptor Regalimaia Maevia Eureka Gorgonops Fasolasuchus Ledumahadi acuti Armadillosuchus Maip Macrothorax Overview of all the finalists here. * Note that once the winner has been determined, we'll be reading through these threads and using them as inspiration for how the creature will be designed; aspects suggested may change.

Sovira Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just wanted to say I am genuinely hoping you may consider allowing for more than one winner this time around, and the other vote you guys could even be the one to decide as a team, voting against each other! There are WAY too many good dinos this round and many agree over the discord, we've been talking about it for quite a while ❤️ Thank you also for the oppertunity to have and be in this event! It is genuinely more than appreciated! 16 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaephClark Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 For the Creature Submissions, how likely will we see multiple creature winners? Like how the Carcharodontosaurus was a fan favorite? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaephClark Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Also from what you showed, does this mean the ARK 2 saddles will have customization options like the weapons? And could these customizations affect armor ratings and even damage output? Like giving the Carno attachable spikes to the horns? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyla0 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Is it just the angle or are the carnos horns shorter, thank you for showing us its saddle and the new loot drops both look incredible 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberra Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 You're still paywalling ASA behind a $500-$700 console. All these 'sneak peeks' are worthless to those of us who can't afford a brand-freaking-new console 1 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostCreep Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I like that you are re-envisioning A:SA, and that concept for the new loot crate is fine, but I’d put that attention into things that really need to be revamped. Like the legacy Dinos and map details. For example, new rewarding places to explore within the maps. Don’t get me wrong I love that you are giving everything a new polish but I’d put my attention into the things that will optimize the gameplay and not just make things look cooler. The loot drops we’re fine in my opinion so I’d focus on things that make a little bit more of a splash. Really don’t want to sound negative I’m just trying to give you some constructive criticism. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyranntX Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) That Carno Armor Concept is making me reconsider my possition on weather or not to buy ARK 2, the concept of it being a two seater this time around also hypes it up a bit. Now if only ASA would have a similar craft system too. As for the Redesign of the loot drop, I love it. looks FAR more alien and high-tech than before. Kinda reminds me of something you'd see in the Halo series. And turning the revolving plates into a stand for the crate is a pretty genious touch. Over all, great design. Hope to see what it looks like in other teirs in the near future. Edited April 29, 2023 by TyranntX 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntdad5 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 "We are going to wait to show ASA gameplay untill we pretty much release the game, and yes we are still not going to give an ark 2 gameplay trailer, ir at the least release or animated series... Sincerely Wild Card and Snail Games could you tell me which water foutain i'm allowed to use? 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoilingSage Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I'd like to see the centre updated to have aberrant dinosaurs in the underworld, I think glow in the dark critters would be a nice touch on the map even if the centre was released pre aberration, now is a perfect opportunity to spice up the ole map 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyteruki Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Can't wait for you to ACTUALLY show us some ASA stuff (four months until release, it's not a minute too early), but we're slowly going in the right direction. Also, that Carno saddle has real potential. 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basilmemories Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 ooh, one whole image of one asset. oh yes, this perfectly justifies shutting down servers with years of work and memorials to dead players. Oh yes, so sorry for my "tone", I have zero sympathy for a company receiving the criticism they should be getting, for the mistakes they continuously refuse to own up to or correct. 5 4 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a previous Community Crunch they seemed to imply that only story Arks would get one, but The Center was "born" in a time when unique creatures weren't a thing yet (it only started with Ragnarok's Griffin) and as such has been sorely lagging behind, despite being a great map. It's probably the upgrade I'm looking forward the most in the entire ASA thing. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have three ps5’s, friends, and dare I say sexy. 🤓 I still think the concept of paying for asa is completely asinine. I mean jeez I have to pay x more to have some bro run my gen 2 missions again In my most humble opinion I think Asa will be delayed until 2040 anyway. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they here again? My friend, someone having an opposing opinion to you doesn't make them 'rude.' I personally find a lot of stuff about ASA kind of concerning and heck, ethically wrong, as far as video games go. You can hate me for having a different opinion than you, but that's okay, I will still like and respect you anyway, because I have ADHD and am incapable of holding a grudge for more than 2 minutes 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is genuinely more than appreciated! Completely agree here! Such an interesting event this time around, with tons of ideas that could really utilise the new engine for ASA! Really hoping we get multiple winners, perhaps one community and one WC choice! Speaking of ASA, a supply drop reveal was unexpected, but interesting. Really curious to see how old critters like the Bronto, which have been around since 2015, get retouched and TLC'd. ARK 2 saddles looking sick as well! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
