Something like that must be honored! 👍 It's great that the developers have worked through every single point of criticism from the reviewers and that they're offering the game to owners of the 2018 version completely free.
Honestly, if I'm playing a game on handheld devices like switch I don't mind framerate as long as it sits at a steady 25-30 fps as long as it doesn't look as abysmally bad as ark. I mean, I'm fine playing Morrowind with only a mod that doubles draw distance and the unofficial patch. I'm fine with those kinds of graphics, so I'm glad that ark on switch is getting an overhaul.
@@kingofgeese4904Incorrect. The Switch FACTUALLY can't handle tons of games. The fact that they had to butcher Ark this much for it to run on the Switch is proof that it's not worth the effort. I play on Windows and wow, I gotta say looking at Switch gameplay of Ark hurts my eyes. Everything is so muddy and awfully textured. I'm guessing the only people who think that's an acceptable experience are the people who don't have a better alternative platform to play these games on. And no, Portability isn't a plus anymore for the Switch. There are now many powerful handheld platforms out there that makes the Switch look like a retro device.
I even heard that the devs that rebuilt it went off a list of everyone’s complaints and worked on fixing it, they cared so much to listen to their fans which I love
As a server owner and dedicated player for years! I'm absolutely impressed on what wild card has done for their fans! They keep to their word no matter how long it takes! Ark is a phenomenal survival games, with absolutely great mechanics
My only Ark survival experience has been on the switch it was one of the first games I ever bought for my switch and I would really like to have an up to Snuff version
I just hope they can fix the crashing. I never took on any of the bosses or tried breeding for mutations (though I got a blue turtle by accident) because the game would crash randomly if they were too many creatures in a general area. Still looking forward to this. Hope they release Cryopods and the Ragnarok map at some point.
It's not so much the crashing itself that bugs me but the fact that you can't manually safe the game so everytime it crashes it deletes ~30 minutes of gameplay on Singleplayer. The crashes are less annoying on official
Night time is broken, pitch black impossible to se anything... even with this new version... graphycal artifacts and water textures behave awkward... still what a massive improvement
I just learned about this 4 months late., I was SO disappointed when I got ark on the switch as at the time it was my only console. I can't explain how please I am about this and I'm gonna redownload the game ASAP!!!!!
We’ve got this on PS4 and tablet but I’ve been waiting for switch. Boyo doesn’t like me playing without him but that leaves me very restricted. Would really like Switch as I can play on my lunch break 😂 without getting caught out.
I'm really excited for this! I hope with this new version they also keep your settings. I noticed that the Switch would always reset all my settings back to default whenever I turned it off. Trying to change all my rates again every time I turn it on was a major turn away for me (among the other issues mentioned)
@@NinBendo1 I didn't lol, I think I have a total of maybe 5 hours on it, which is because I was somewhere I only had my Switch and was extremely bored and needed to kill time. It sucked
@@spottyboi024 The other factor here is that you likely saw footage and went “Yep, I want to play the Switch version” and you actually spent money on it
@@NinBendo1 Actually I was at Gamestop one day and saw Ark on the Switch and I was like "Ark is on the Switch? That would be sick to be able to play Ark whenever and wherever I want, even in the car and stuff" and bought it there. I don't really have any regrets now since they are doing the major upgrade
Ofcourse the other settings are lower but the resolution in docked mode is litherly higher than base ps4 which in the higher graphics mode is only 720p
Its not here yet, it was delayed and this video is alittle old. Its deffinitly NOV 1st tho for the patch, Worldwide release according to a post i saw 20 minutes ago! im sure no one on here has even seen it yet! except for us people on twitter..
Ark switch pve community right now is better than the PS4 ever was! Strangers doing bosses together, trading and making friends! Way to go grove street games 💪🔥
YOOOO! I can’t wait! It’s gonna be FREE for owners of the game already... but it’s a whole new game? Wow. That’s insane... here I was expecting to pay again - and I would. That’s how much I love Ark. Let’s get it! I cannot WAIT! 🔥🔥🔥
This game can’t even run PlayStation 5 without crashing nonstop in single player and they want to release the rest of the maps for switch? My god Wildcard is beyond help. Ark is such a good concept soiled by these donkey developers.
For replicating the graphics settings for pc of the switch version what settings would you say it would be for pc to repmicate the look? Would of you can play pretty decent as well on sane settings?
I have 2,6k hours on Ark (pc) and i remember of the jokes we used to make like "do you imagine Ark on Switch" *silence* "AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA" and when they announced i was like "WHAAAAT?!?!" And then I saw how it used to run and how it looked and i was "i would never buy it" but I have to admit this "remaster" is awesome! I still won't buy it because for me it's a pc game (joycon could never replace mouse and keyboard for this kind of games)
Anyone know why my game is still blurry? I downloaded it after the update and have checked and my game is up to date… do I need to play around with settings?
Can you play local wireless on this now? There's so much that say yes and no and even nintendo says no but others say you still can...so just figured I'd ask someone who had the game. Thanks
Everyone needs to know , and game journalists the original ARK switch wasnt supposed to be released in the form it was , & WC screwed over the original co developers, Abtraction. This was a very early Alpha Build built by Abtraction, WC asked them to make one , but then WC forced it to be released by anouncing it too early once they saw the Early build. ..but anyways im glad its being able to be fully developed this time & i don't want to take away the talent this took & i don't it is..🤔, heck they basically worked on this from scratch! so thats a big deal still but i wish it wasnt presented in a way as if this was a full intended game and what happens in order to get it on switch, yeah , this is only what happens when a game thats on switch is prevented from being properly worked on right from the start, and maybe oneday, we'll get the whole story about what exactly happened, maybe Wildcard will fess up, cuz they threw Abraction under the bus and just didnt want to pay them so they could fix it, Abrtaction said they wanted to fix it, and also if it was upto them, they would have held the game back. Wish i knew the reasoning behind why exactly WC didnt want to pay them to fix the game, did they not have the funds? all it would mean was more sales..idk.. They also kicked them off the team & also banned them from talking about the game, which is probably why a lot of people's questions on the game went unanswered by them since then. I want to think WildCard learned from their mistakes now tho, and let these other guys do what they need to do cuz man it looks GREAT .
What I wanna know is are there plans to release some of unofficial maps that you can enjoy on consoles, such as Valguero, Ragnarok, Lost Island and the Fjordur? I don’t car eif it takes a while, I just hope we can get those maps on handheld, even if not every single one of them!
Before the whole new update. I was annoyed how the game crashes in some instances. The graphics were shaudy and terrible, because the Unreal Engine, used in that game, wasn’t compatible with the switch. I rated that thing 1.0/5.0 before the update. I get how it had such a low rating before because of that
My comment failed to post so, here it goes again. WORLDWIDE RELEASE DATE For switch patch according to a post i just saw on their twitter page is NOV 1ST for atleast north America😄 🎉 thats all i care about.. Other countries will be on the 9th, & Japan the begining of next year. Ult survivor is releasing later, idk i wasnt paying attention..
Guys don’t get excited grove street games made mobile hackers took over and they did nothing about it all I think there going to do is make a slightly better island map

It's great that the developers have worked through every single point of criticism from the reviewers and that they're offering the game to owners of the 2018 version completely free.
Even if the framerate is still not the greatest in the new version, its still miles above what the old version was able to put out - in total!
Honestly, if I'm playing a game on handheld devices like switch I don't mind framerate as long as it sits at a steady 25-30 fps as long as it doesn't look as abysmally bad as ark.

@@Dr-Sex you mean old ark or do you still think the new ark looks bad?
Also, people say the Switch can’t handle this, Switch can’t handle that but if the studio puts the effort in ports can be great.
See Alien Isolation- amazing.
I’d Switch can run No Man’s Sky almost up to par with my experience on PS5 then it can easily run Ark. they just needed to put in the extra effort

I didnt even know this was gonna be supported anymore... that's pretty awesome.
They accidentally leaked it on the ark mobile channel on a live stream
It almost had to be. If not they would’ve got sued into the dirt.
I even heard that the devs that rebuilt it went off a list of everyone’s complaints and worked on fixing it, they cared so much to listen to their fans which I love
@ShinyDracovish I just checked mine n it's updated alrdy n they added more maps
Very impressive and a lot of respect for them that they are redoing it.
I am actually interested in ark for switch now. Will wait for your final review.
Wait wait wait wait…there’s an HD version of “The Conduit”? I used to love that game! I need it now
As a server owner and dedicated player for years! I'm absolutely impressed on what wild card has done for their fans! They keep to their word no matter how long it takes! Ark is a phenomenal survival games, with absolutely great mechanics
Long as they fix that frame rate I'm super excited. I bought this back in the day and have held out hope so long
Some of the old footage is hysterical. Looking like JP Trespasser 2.0.
My only Ark survival experience has been on the switch it was one of the first games I ever bought for my switch and I would really like to have an up to Snuff version
If it would play right it’s an amazing game
@@bloodOntheStep I know

You seriously think the game won’t crash when it crashes nonstop on my PlayStation 5? Wildcard is incompetent.
It's not so much the crashing itself that bugs me but the fact that you can't manually safe the game so everytime it crashes it deletes ~30 minutes of gameplay on Singleplayer.

Cryopods is what we need
@@mindfckeddc7084 Cryopods is what we get!
@@bugcatcherjacky1334 is this confirmed?
Well i'll be damned, this sure is a redemption ark for Grovestreat games after their work on GTA: The Trillogy: Definitive Edition
It's $10 right now
8 now......
Is it worth it?
Is this out now? I noticed a 2gb update on Ark Switch.
Edit: October 25th is the update release. No idea what the 2gb update was then.
my guess is a patch to help with the changes
Base ARK is on sale rn for $10.
Night time is broken, pitch black impossible to se anything... even with this new version... graphycal artifacts and water textures behave awkward... still what a massive improvement
I sure hope the ship hasnt already sailed for this. They're putting in effort and spending money, I hope they at least make it back 🤞
There will be a new physical with the new ark version on switch called ultimate one
Old physical is a free update
I just learned about this 4 months late., I was SO disappointed when I got ark on the switch as at the time it was my only console. I can't explain how please I am about this and I'm gonna redownload the game ASAP!!!!!
I bought the game last weekend and was sooo disappointed. Glad to see there's an update.

I WISH IT WAS FIXED LONG WHILE AGO. Now i have a steam deck... hopefully it gets more support
Ofcourse the other settings are lower but the resolution in docked mode is litherly higher than base ps4 which in the higher graphics mode is only 720p
Need daily updates on this game I hope they fix this game it doesn't have to look like it's from pc just needs to be playable
ok, 10 days left before 25 of October. Where is any official announcement in the store or anywhere else?
Oh my gods I’m going to download the update as soon as I get off
Its not here yet, it was delayed and this video is alittle old. Its deffinitly NOV 1st tho for the patch, Worldwide release according to a post i saw 20 minutes ago! im sure no one on here has even seen it yet! except for us people on twitter..
I did a test and mouse and keyboard work but the jump button doesn't work otherwise it's almost exactly like PC controls
Will players be able to make their own severs with custom settings?
I'll grab it if its as improved as suggested. Always wanted to try this game out.
Ark switch pve community right now is better than the PS4 ever was! Strangers doing bosses together, trading and making friends! Way to go grove street games 💪🔥
I hope Ark Mobile will get new contect soon too
But will they upgrade the old one or no?
If you own the old one, you get a free upgrade to this one.
Wait a sec, Grove Street Games?? Is this the same developer who worked on the GTA trilogy definitive edition?! 😂
Has anyone else noticed the Zelda nuggets placed in Ark Island?
YOOOO! I can’t wait! It’s gonna be FREE for owners of the game already... but it’s a whole new game? Wow. That’s insane... here I was expecting to pay again - and I would. That’s how much I love Ark.
Let’s get it! I cannot WAIT! 🔥🔥🔥
Very impressive, it runs better than my gaming laptop
an iphone 6 has more power than a switch..
There's an HD version of the Conduit. I would buy that day 1 if it came to Switch
Hype is real, Ark is amazing.
Question will they fix meshing and all that other stuff that makes ark un playable
Should run and look great on a fully overclocked switch
This game can’t even run PlayStation 5 without crashing nonstop in single player and they want to release the rest of the maps for switch? My god Wildcard is beyond help. Ark is such a good concept soiled by these donkey developers.
For replicating the graphics settings for pc of the switch version what settings would you say it would be for pc to repmicate the look? Would of you can play pretty decent as well on sane settings?
Definitely gonna check it out now, but I'll wait for the physical edition.

Ps4 is yesterday. Nintendo switch is today 💪
I seen online that it says they are coming soon so praying and figures cross
Wow am excited for this!
Considering the new developer made the GTA Definitive edition I’m surprised this is doing so well.
Hope they had plenty and plenty and plenty of time to patch Ark
Well to be fair to that dev, they had a Hella short development time allowed by the publisher
See my thing is gen 1 and 2 back let even ran on ps4, the 5 is better but the point stands, how is this going to work?
so anyone that already bought this does not have to repurchase or pay anything to update?
Not a penny more, enjoy
And if I buy It later there won't be any increase in price right?
I can’t wait and now the update is not until November
Is it just for the OLED switch because my graphics have not been updated
Does this update include crossplay to playststion though?
I play ark on switch and had to deal with all the bad things about the game for awhile now
Got so hyped i started doing monkey noises
Grove Street Games, eh? They’re known for their great port work…
i actually cannot fathom how they managed to port ark to the switch like looking like that. How did that shit happen lmfao.
They used the wrong engine to port

Anyone please answer- is this fix added in normal edition as well?
yes
may i ask i have the old version how wil i get the new version for free ?

just looked at it it shows all the other maps just that they are "locked" so they probably are just polishing it with the engine but dude I'm excited.
Unfortunately no because asa
what the this looks fucking good.
If it actually looks that good you will have sale.
A Game don't run well, because your System is strong enough. It run well, if it's programmed well
