ARK: Survival Evolved Might Have Been Stealthily Delayed

The press releases of ARK: Survival Evolved have slowly modified the scheduled release date of the full game over time.

Damn, I wanted to get this on PS4 in June since I'm smilpig2 No Man's Sky (not really my genre)

The no compete clause trial is definitely gonna hold the game back. When you sign such a contract you are obligated to hold to it. And they're sadly gonna pay for breaking it.

[Alexious]

I think no complete clauses are bullshit, honestly.

[KaiPow]

Agreed, especially when there's little to no overlap between the projects being developed at the two studios.

[LavaLampGoo]

Well the preview on Xbone is getting ironed out quite nicely so at least they're still working on it

[lvl_headed_gmr]

Loving it on Xbox One.

I couldn't imagine not owning an Xbox One and missing out on it's preview program.

Loving Elite Dangerous as well....is it still not out on PS4? Seems pretty odd people focusing on this game when Elite Dangerous isn't even out on PS4 yet and the Xbox is about to get the Horizons expansion soon.

Own it but haven't played it yet

Delays for stability and improvements ar3 never a bad thing.

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

That was Albert Einstein.

"A delayed game is eventually good"

Ever played Duke Nukem Forever? The most delayed (but released) game in history.

@WeAreLegion

Are you sure it was Albert Einstein?

im pretty sure in the Bible, under Delayicus 3:56. "upon the first day, set up when thou shall haveith thy game. if thy game must be delayed, maketh sure that reasons be vague as fog. but useth time effeciently, for a delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad in the eyes of they gamers"

[GhostTurtle]

That quote came from Shigeru Miyamoto.

[wakeNbake]

This game looks and runs disgusting on the Xb1.

[Alexious]

Well, it runs pretty bad on much more powerful PCs too. They need to upgrade their UE4 to the latest version, I think; UE4.11 has lots of optimizations.

[slate91]

A bit of an exaggeration imo. I wouldnt say disgusting. But I wouldnt say smooth either.
The gameplay and overall fun allows you to forget about most of the negative technical aspects.

[wakeNbake]

Im not necessarily blaming the console, if anything it's the dev's fault for poor optimization.

[Angerfist]

It was real unbearable when it first came out. I'm not sure how it is today but live streams didn't look too smooth

[Skate-AK]

I wonder if this has anything to do with the recent litigation with Trendy Entertainment.
