I don't know what you're smoking, they never looked lifeless and the new ones don't look better. What I can agree with is that some of them look more "human" but the majority of real life animals (and probably dinos back then) have the "lifeless eyes" people complain, but not everything is a fu****ing cat or dog. This is a silly complaint but ARK players never go outside anyway so everything has to look like cats and dogs.

THANK YOU, been looking for this video since it dropped The game is admittedly pretty, sure. But they didn't address my biggest issue Ark has always had: The wildlife doesn't feel alive, and every thing you tame feels like a glorified vehicle I was hoping they'd fix the mindless rampaging carnivores killing everything in their path until something kills them BS and have things chill, sleep and herd/pack up like real animals like they said they would 4 years ago. But I guess I was expecting too much for what was always just going to be a dolled up rerelease 😪

[@cysgod04]

our only hope is mods I guess... this game is most lazy thing I have ever seen. Even achievements are same! Defeat The Center Gurads... Lmao

[@Akaryusan]

Well with the updated engine allowing for more complex things it should be fairly easy to mod that in compared to ase

[@waadi3ach569]

I think ase was so unoptimized they had to rework the whole code but they definitely didn't optimize this game either too much

[@johngcp]

​@@waadi3ach569you think the art team of the company is doing code or just sitting there getting paid to do nothing, or possible on vacation the whole time this was getting done? A huge company has many departments and there's no way that the entire art department wasn't working. Sadly since they have a new game (ark 2) coming out my guess is they put about 2 days worth of work into this game and that was just upscaling the textures. I have a degree in 3d animation and other than the human character that's all they really did. The terrain and water are largely free ue5 assets with slight tweaks and were free, you could take any old game and put the same water in it in a few minutes.

[@dsheep9937]

The biggest difference is when color and texture interact with light. The old one looked kind of cartoony because some colors didn't change the palette to lighter when they interacted with light. And some of them are just like copy and paste...

[@cysgod04]

most creatures need and deserves update. Bronto, Doericus, Anky, Megalodon, Giga... All of them are old models just got a little texture changes@@magic_manl2572

[@trainershade1937]

Outside of texture changes, the new lighting, and other effects, it seems like most haven't received a major update to their models (a lot of the depth and wrinkles you see are 100% found in the textures and not in the models themselves). However, it does appear that a few have received some minor updates to their eyes, which honestly is enough for some of them. Overall, I think a lot of them are probably fine as is, but there's a fair few that need adjustments (a lot of the furred and feathered creatures need to have the seam between the mesh shell for their fur/feathers and actual model looked at again, as it's very visible in the new lighting) and some that need an outright TLC redesign. Namely: the Araneo, Penguins, Plesiosaur, Quetzal (the slightly longer mohawk doesn't fix the problem) (edit: also the Giga, kind of spoiled with the Paleo variant being god tier visually). I also think that some things could do with a reanimation, such as the Megapithecus. Also, I THINK the Microraptors have lost their teeth lmao! It looks like a similar issue can be found with the Ovis. I think they may be using the wrong LODs for close-ups.

Bit fishy that they couldnt move servers over because UE$ wasnt compatible with UE%....then 95 percent of assets and functions literally get cut and pasted between them. cheers for doing this vid, its been hard to find/watch any of the changes on any other channel due to game just crashing for everyone and everyone doing their own thing. Water, UI, and some building changes. 1.5/10 stars, 20 percent upgrade for 500 percent price, and that's being nice and ignoring the 30 percent decrease in optimisation, the long delays, the lies, not being on console like promised, and the deletion/resetting of servers both new and old game.

I was honestly surprised that the models/rigs weren't updated for the oldest dinos. Mosa, Bronto, Paracer, Phiomia etc. all could use some TLC. But... they did release in Early Access. And they completely revamped a handful of models back in ASE (Direwolf, Dire Bear, Saber, etc.), so it's entirely possible that these texture updates are only temporary. I sincerely hope they rework the dinos to bring them more in line with how organic the environments feel.

[@tacthescribbler772]

​@@nashonabo821 ​ Easy now, I'm not trying to start anything. Please don't be like that. :) Please note I said "possible" and not "likely." I know the developer's history with Ark, and I'm not holding my breath. And for what it's worth, I have not bought the game. Like many others, I'm either waiting to see if/what improvements are made, and whether I want to buy the game at all. I do like Ark's concept, though, and have played ASE. It's something I'm interested in, conceptually speaking, and I'm curious as to where the franchise goes from here. Because let's be honest: there are CEOs and publishers who want to milk it. I just hope the actual artists and writers who love the game itself and *want* to improve it, get the chance to do so.

On what setting did u play ASA? Because i feel that u are using dlss on performance or ultra performance which will look bad , u should use it on ultra quality or turn it off

[@King-O-Hell]

This is kind of a reminder that the old Ark models were really good honestly. The new ones are awesome but the old ones still look pretty good. The rest of the graphics really shine over the old ones though.

[@jayg2580]

The default character looks like the people from WALL-E when they started to get fat.

You can put all the lipstick on a pig you want, but it's still an unsupported, glitchy pig

[@magic_manl2572]

Ark played fine for the most part. The only thing holding it back were the glitches, which this game should fix. They've marketed it that way anyway

[@TravisTheSavage]

Yep it's already crashed one hundred time with no pvp

[@EL1TE10]

I know you're talking about the game but this very much applies to like, half the wildlife in this game too They REALLY gotta just let that Megalodon model go and TLC that poor creature ASAP same with the Carno and Mosasaur models in fact the only ones that benefitted from these new textures were the newer dinos that ALREADY looked good

[@magic_manl2572]

@@EL1TE10 I'd say the mosa looks great now

[@vincent9696]

it's early access...

[@thomasdevlin5825]

Damn this makes me want TLC passes to start back up so bad, there are so many old dinos that look so beautiful now and they still just aren't good. Even the giga has lost it's place in the hierarchy over time. Also why is the archaeopteyx so soft? all the other feather creatures just looks more high res but the archae looks like he's made of down now

[@waadi3ach569]

For a game that is all about dinos u can't do much other then ride them or tame them, I heard they have a sitting animation now but it seriously needs a tlc pass

[@jakkaljakobie8774]

Most of it is updated skins but some of em got well needed model tweaks. Im keeping my fingers crossed for a tlc pass though, because some if them -ahem, rhino- need more than just a facelift.

[@ingrida1121]

they somehow made them look worse, especially the fur, and for the textures they seem to have applied uniform grunge maps that make everything look muddy and deformed.

[@aafkeentim]

How do you get the cheat console thing open, I can only use cheats from the escape menu (tab or "~" does nothing)

[@adoptedmoth]

I really hope the devs apply some gameplay tlc to some of the creatures that needed but didn’t get a tlc patch in the original game. I still don’t see a single reason to tame a Diplodocus and Mosasaurs are extremely underwhelming for something referred to as the “Giga of the Sea”

[@alucardunleashed6138]

Aberration and its creatures are about to be insane

[@wolfgangwolves3544]

ASA steam reviews are tanking lmao

[@Mephilis78]

Beezelbuffo is less of a shiny frog, and more of a dry toad now.

[@samreinhardt9728]

some dinos in ASA need TLC p.s microraptor diffenently does

[@aaronbl4ck83]

and mosasaurus , carno , diplodocus...

[@kade-qt1zu]

Some of the designs definitely need a bit of rework.

[@cysgod04]

none of creature models changed. Most of them needs but I dont think they will do it since they also have another game to work Ark 2

[@Cjthecheesedj]

Majority of them do
