Scorched Earth Comparison ASE vs ASA

[@snakemaster254]

The map looks so much more resource dense and even more alive than before, we’ll have to see how the creatures contribute to that atmosphere

[@DrGoiburger]

prob by sawn killing everyone lol

[@Nebby_smells]

Ironically, there's a mountain that's missing like all of its resources other than stone Idk what it's called but it's the small mountain down south near red ob, sort of centred

[@goku546686]

From what I've seen some new dynamic things have been added to the game ( some being a more advanced ai for the dinos) unlike the island this is a from the ground up remade scorched earth. The island used resources from evolved. The way scorched earth could play may feel a bit different and more versatile using ALL of what ue5 has to offer

[@Berilaco]

Yeah asa looks more alive in general... less of that stupid gray and more sand stone and stuff

[@Berilaco]

@@goku546686by more dynamic do you mean sand being thrown into the air by things like a player walking across??? Ive seen that that is something ue5 is capable off

SE was already one of my favourite maps because I love desert and arid environments, but this updated version of the map has really impressed me so far. I've been having a lot of fun playing on the map, and not a single crash to date after playing for hours. I've already got about a dozen sabers since every cat I seem to encounter has about 2 babies with it haha. Still on the fence about whether I'll invest in the frontier items since it's a lot more expensive than what I'd want to pay, but if the quality is the same as the rest of the content on this map I might be able to be convinced yet

[@bardedkgaming2529]

I know that im propebly in the minority, but I feel that a lot of SE's vibe is missing from the ASA version, like no heat waves? all the dried up riverbeds are now a giant river? the obilisks used to be that main area oasis but now the whole middle of the map is one giant Oasis? and wth where those lighting effects on the ground during the thunder storm?

Started playing this today. I could hear a jerboa nearby but it took almost 10 minutes to actually find it. Ground cover is nuts anywhere near the water. The river bed has FAR more water than before and noticeably less kaprosuchus swarming in every puddle. Seeing far less animals in general, the babies are definitely srill eating up the dino count

i gotta be honest, i bought the full asa package, but by the time all the console commands are used, asa isn't much more than ase. (running a 2060ti.

I always had a soft spot for scorched earth as even though it was a rather bland map. It had some fun things about it. The step up in difficulty from the island is a nice change of pace and the unique survival mechanics at play such as extreme weather and there really being no safe areas to get started in added to the challenge. Aberration is perfect in my opinion but scorched earth was still a good contender.
