ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition shows first gameplay on Switch

Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments

ARK: Ultimate Survivor Edition was announced back in April, and we now have a first look at the title running on Switch with some new gameplay.

It’s true that ARK: Survival Evolved is already on the console, though it’s not currently in a good state with a poor frame rate, low resolution, long loading times, and more. That prompted Studio Wildcard to team up with Grove Street Games on a completely new version that has redone functionality, graphics, and optimization. Players can also access the Scorched Earth Expansion Pack at launch with subsequent expansions following in two month intervals.

Also planned is a “Young Explorers” Mode – or educational mode – in which players can discover and learn about the prehistoric creatures that inspired the game.

Ark: Survival Evolved Switch technical analysis

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

When Ark: Survival Evolved was announced for Switch, it came as a bit of a surprise. After all, the game doesn’t exactly run well on other platforms. Now that the Switch port is finally here, Digital Foundry is taking a closer look at it from a technical perspective.

Unfortunately, visual quality has been heavily scaled back on Switch. As one example, most foliage is gone in the forest and objects pop in just before the player. Textures themselves have been reduced, and texture filtering is also very poor. Shadows are also a problem as they’ll constantly change based on your position.
