ARK: Survival Evolved: Big Dinosaur Stompy Stompy

Dinosaurs and open-world survival games don't have a very good track record together, but damn if this doesn't look nice.

A moderately cool looking new IP with dinosaurs? Count me in if only to convince publishers that they can fucking try something new.

The subtitle was terribly disappointing: I'd guess this game is a multiplayer survival game like Rust instead of the story of the founding of Dinotopia. If only people made single player narrative-driven games like this.

Looks cool enough to keep me checking back on it though...

Downloaded this video and it's 1080p. Trailers from Giant Bomb are usually 720p.

Does this mean we'll see 1080p Giant Bomb videos in the near future?

How I imagine the development meetings for this went:

"So for our game about dinosaurs should we have guns?" "Check"

"Magic space crystals?" "Check"

"Doing a barrel roll on a pterodactyl?" "Of course"

"Giant ridable scorpions?" "I mean why not?"

"A dragon?" "Sure, fuck it put in a dragon I will literally allow anything to be in this game"

That sounds like a meeting I want to be in.

Amazing.

I want this! And I want it to be kind of fun. I'll settle for just kind of fun at this point.

I would buy this in a second if the subtitle was actually "Big Dinosaur Stompy Stompy"...

Err.. so is this actually a survival game? They may have lost me with all the dino riding, or at least the variety that goes from survival to silly.

Also any survival game announced for console instantly makes my mind go to 'limitations'.

Credit to Kate Welch for this observation, but jumping right onto a dino's back and riding it toward the horizon should always be a viable alternative to guns in this game.

Hunt and eradicate extinct animals - The Game.

Tagline:

"Who needs African wildlife, we've got DINOSAURS!"

Extinct animal domestication simulator.

Taglines:

"Fuck yo' horses, I'm on a pterodactyl."

and

"Cow, shmow - you guys want some triceratops milk?"

Jokes aside, this looks alright.
