I only own the PS4 version, and I certainly am not looking to re-visit it, but if the DLC is free (or free at least for the GOTY edition) then I think I would!
Ark seems to fit into the same niche that enjoys Roblox, Fortnite, and Five Nights at Freddy’s. That might make a statement about how much money they have.
It’s that weird niche of taming and owning dinosaurs and base building and what not that no other game has really filled. I think that’s why they are still around. No one wants to make a new ARK game, because ARK has been around for so long. And the game is huge, it’s just a janky ass mess.
I hope Tencent recycles everything they developed so far and come up with a crazy novel idea, such as having cute fantasy animals walking around and you have to catch them with balls.
Transformers, turok and mecha Godzilla come to mind. Not post apocalyptic per say but saying Sony owns robo dinos in a post apocalyptic future sounds fool hardy.
This is in no way good for us, the consumers. If it was Nintendo doing it, everyone be would be livid.
I’ve played a lot of good games that were blatant ripoffs. Companies shouldn’t own concepts, fuck Sony.
I mean, that setting alone shouldn’t be enough to claim copyright infringement, but the visual identity of the Tencent game looks way too close to Horizon. And since apparently they tried to get the licence and failed, it’s even harder to see it as anything but an attempt to make “I can’t believe it’s not Horizon”.
They could have made it look different enough that it would be considered at most heavily inspired and there would be nothing wrong with it.
I certainly don’t think Sony needs defending, but yeah, I can’t say that result is surprising.
Yeah, the VHS tapes of this I remember had like 1 dinoriders commercial then the rest was different slot racers, like a train that went up the wall and a glow in the dark one, race cars, etc.
I might just be remembering those commercials the most cuz I wanted them the most
There is inspired by, there’s a ripoff, and then there’s this. Tencent tried to get the licence beforehand so what I think happened is they built a Horizon game intending to get the licence, they failed to get it, so they just released the game anyways.
Seems a bit mad that with all their money and a game already made they couldn’t be bothered to file off the serial numbers a bit more. I imagine this happens all the time with licencing deals, I know for instance Warcraft was originally written to be a Warhammer game.
When I first saw the headline, my brain immediately thought it was an in-game boss, and I was confused how that worked. Then my brain meat caught up to reality.
