PSA: 'Photo mode on asa is a tad broken on ab so lighting is a tad strange' also there is a new cinematic lighting mode which i didn't know was a thing when filming (Does make asa look better then what i filmed but frames)
Don't worry about it! We will all see how the creatures look in more darker environments with their glow. This will really highlight possible texture upgrades! ARK devs can't hide behind pretty lighting now. It works for the vid and I love how they look!
Besides, the lighting is much more dynamic in ASA resulting in tons of different possible ways that creatures can look. There isn't a perfect result here. Some people fail to see that and like to complain about ARK going downhill without critically thinking first :P
I think there's a slight disservice taking the ASA clips in full daylight which will give the fullest, brightest, flattest lighting instead of evening/morning/night like the ASE ones
Going to add i used that exact time on both games being 2pm for day shots and midnight for night shots to show of the glow. There is a cinematic lighting mode now which i didnt know when filming, its pretty expensive on the system tho
A lot of the dinos just happened to spawn in with bad colors. And the green zone isnt a good place to show off glows. They actually added glows to a few creatures like the rock drake that make them look ten times better.
For anyone who's wondering what's wrong with the bioluminescene in ASA... Nothing, it's actually perfectly fine. The problem is unlike in ASE, the strength of biolum's glow in ASA is dependent on how dark the creature's surroundings are. Hence why they look so faded in most of the clips, since they're being filmed in a rather bright spot.
Thank you for sharing this video with us Veno, this video was very helpful for all of us, and now that Aberration is in Ark Survival Ascended, the map and the creatures look really good, I am looking forward to seeing all of what Ark Survival Ascended has in store for Aberration, just like it did with The Island, The Center and Scorched Earth. Anyways, take care and have a great day/night Veno.
I don't Know why there are so many people crying and saying that the new aberrant versions are shit and a lot of worse. That's not true. I've playing Aberration and I can say that many, if not all the variants look better. The diferences between Ase and Asa are due to the time of day in which they were recorded. If you look at them in the same moment of the day the look practically identically. We can criticize WildCard/SnailGames for the bugs and the mediocre optimization but not for the visual section. Lets be fair. Pd. It is also true that the exaggerated level of darkness of aberration in ASE made the bioluminescence more striking.
sadly time of day isnt the issue her since i made sure it was same time for the shots (Night for ab varriants). I do think the spot chosen tho has alot more lighting on ASA which just effects them more.
Well, I have seen aberrant meganeuras in Asa and it was shiny, not like in the video. I'm not saying it's your fault, it might just be a bug or something else.
Bioluminescense in ASA only really kicks in when a creature is in the dark, so them being filmed in a bright portion of the green zone really does 'em a massive disservice
At this point it’s not constructive criticism, it’s excessive bitching. You can criticize the lighting and the bugs, but the creatures are one thing they pulled off relatively well
Someone turn down that light dimmer please 😃 On a serious note, everything looks brighter which makes dino glow almost absent. They did say that lighting effects are broken atm, hopefully they fix it. Ray tracing settings on PC will also create more or less lighting in Unreal 5, something to consider. In the end it all boils down to one's computer settings, monitor, console or not, tv, etc. This is just something to use as reference, everyone's experience at home will be different.
Honestly despite this version of aberration being worse than the original imo, im still gonna play it cuz it’s ab after all. Still i’d say this is the first map change that i liked less than the original. Center and scorched (especially scorched) were huge step-ups for me.
not new, always been a thing on ase, ab megalania are new to ab not to asa and there is three new ab varriants being gigantoraptor, oviraptor and for some stupid reason fasolasuchus
Am I missing something? Where on Aberration Evolved are there Dimorphodons? (At least I'm pretty sure Aberrant Megalania are Fjordur exclusive) Anyway, agreed with the comments that lighting/shadows seem a lot less dramatic in Ascended and it makes a lot of creatures look worse. At least the bulb dogs and ravagers are still good bois. (If anything, Ascended's toothier bulb dog is even more ugly-cute.)
I feel like there are a few that feel better in ASE, a few that are better in ASA, and a good chunk are about the same/feel like more or less faithful adaptations. All in all? I'm just happy to have Ab, and the items and creatures (unique creatures at least) that come with it. And the steampunk stuff too!
@@SonicDRJI'm just happy to see some of the steampunk stuff (in my opinion the robot and blimp isn't needed at all) and most importantly the tiny spider! Its so cute! I love how you just play red light green light to tame it XD
ASE looks so much better lmfao. A couple small changes on a few creatures look good on asa, like the basilisk, but otherwise nah man ASE looks way better.
I hate how they made a whole new game the old one had nothing wrong with it and the old is better u don’t have to pay for mods and the Dino’s use to glow and u need a whole new thing if u want to play like it didn’t need to be changed like they could just keep updating the old one and ad new Dino’s to the maps but my opinion we didn’t need a whole new game
I mean I can kind of understand their decision, they were also losing a lot of money at the time, but hey at least you don't need to buy the maps all over again just the skins and extra creature as well as mods. Though if I remember correctly there's a choice for if mod makers want it to be free or not. Though in my opinion you should pay for mods, support the mod makers. And if it's a really good mod, wouldn't you want to support them?
Just fiddle with the settings. This type of filming really highlights possible texture upgrades which works well for this vid, but lighting in game looks different 99% of the time. Just have a look at side by side environment comparisons

The new lighting doesn't work for Ab, now it just looks flat and unrendered. ASE's absurd shadows worked really well for Aberration tbh.

@@Veno plus that isnt how itll look for any of us whilst playing, this gives the most realistic comparison

So they just made the abberrant version of everything normal looking and ruined them
Some of them yes and some of them no
The glow effect in ASA doesn't fully kick in unless the creature is properly in the dark, which in most of the clips of that game... _they ain't..._
Use low gamma values the glow will be more beautiful than ever
Look at how they massacred my boy
Who is your boy?

Wow, ASA is going downhill if this is the best they could do
Use low gamma values the glow will be more beautiful than ever
Adorei as comparações, Aberration Ascended realmente esta insano de lindo e bem melhorado❤
The Cnidaria is looking TERRIFYING I LOVE IT
the map looks worse, what about the creatures? Well some look better. I guess
The newly added creatures in Aberration appear to have rough textures.
Wow, um... they sure are something!
They look lame now, where is the bioluminescence?
it's there, it just the lighting is not as dark when veno filmed the asa counterparts

Scorched was a massive step-up from ASE IMO, but I’m still not sure how I feel about the change to Aberration’s daytime surface
What .. that was better before i do not understand .. how is it even possible..
Just enter gamma 2 and the glow will be back and more beautiful then ever
question. how long have aberrant dimorphodons been on ab? i have never seen them till now and i have over 7k hrs on evolved. are they new to asa?
not new, always been a thing on ase, ab megalania are new to ab not to asa and there is three new ab varriants being gigantoraptor, oviraptor and for some stupid reason fasolasuchus
Guess what karkinos can breed now

I gotta agree. The lighting needs some fix-up cuz it just looks, idk, grainy? Like it feels like there’s so much weird particles everywhere
i find the grainy stuff is actually the photo mode which is broken atm.
Aberrant megalania now spawn on ab and also we have two new aberrant varriants being the oviraptor and gigantoraptor
@@Veno and fasolasuchus no? Ive seen that in the patch notes
I feel like there are a few that feel better in ASE, a few that are better in ASA, and a good chunk are about the same/feel like more or less faithful adaptations.
All in all? I'm just happy to have Ab, and the items and creatures (unique creatures at least) that come with it.
And the steampunk stuff too!
I am very happy we have Ab now too, it’s the map I’ve been waiting for since the announcement of ASA
You never lost Ab.
@@AmplifiedBlack okay, that is true. I meant: "I'm just happy to now have Ab in ASA." lol
@@SonicDRJI'm just happy to see some of the steampunk stuff (in my opinion the robot and blimp isn't needed at all) and most importantly the tiny spider! Its so cute! I love how you just play red light green light to tame it XD
What happened to scorched?
Off topic: Rock drakes’ saddles have goggles?
bobs tall tales has a skin that gives it goggles
If the people from ARK added brightness to the creatures, the game would probably run even worse. Rip ark
ASE looks so much better lmfao. A couple small changes on a few creatures look good on asa, like the basilisk, but otherwise nah man ASE looks way better.
do ravagers have bioluminescence now???
Ye, along with drakes, reapers, karkinos
Big Snek❤❤❤
Does anyone know if they actually added ab megalania spawn this time?
They have also got ab oviraptors, ab gigantiraptors and ab fasolas now
@@Veno oh wow!
Ive seen them spawn in redzone
Too much lighter 😕 brighter.. destroying the map..
Honestly it’s about 50/50. Some do look better and some look way worse
I hate how they made a whole new game the old one had nothing wrong with it and the old is better u don’t have to pay for mods and the Dino’s use to glow and u need a whole new thing if u want to play like it didn’t need to be changed like they could just keep updating the old one and ad new Dino’s to the maps but my opinion we didn’t need a whole new game

Old are better in my opinion on most
fuck off to that dead game called ark evolved then.
Reaper queens 🤤🤤🤤
Chill you zesty ahh out zamn
How on earth does everything look worse in Asa. ASE lighting for ab perfectly, This.. isn’t it. And it’s depressing. It’s such a shame man
Just fiddle with the settings. This type of filming really highlights possible texture upgrades which works well for this vid, but lighting in game looks different 99% of the time. Just have a look at side by side environment comparisons
Idk but the Dino’s in my game on ultra settings looked better than the ones you showcased.
Not to be a hater and purely my opinion of course but I think ASE ab was way better than ASA
What the fuck is wrong with the basilisks eyes bro wild card why did u ruin my favourite creature omgggg
I dont see what’s wrong. I think the basi is one of the few that actually improved
@@dotalbo8279 ma shits wack
Did you see the bulbdog? Good lord it's so bad now 😂
Use low gamma values and the shadows will be more equal to ASE and it will make the Baslisk look better than before
The basilisk skin was glitched on ase making the eyes look black. They did a tlc after fjordr release that fixed it and gave them eyes again.
Seen better asa footage, this is bad, Rassclark ASA footage looks a lot better
WTF, the old dinos are 100% better, why did they stuff this up so badly?
I love new one o. O
Esta horrible
Me imagine a los pinguinos de Madagascar 😂
Don't know about the dinos, but man.... how they destroyed this map with all that lighting....
Ark players try not to complain challenge: impossible
True
To be fair you cant really deny that the creatures look worse. If something is bad people are gonna say especially when they paid for it
My God, the colors are so ugly, they should fire the person who made the new designs.
the amount of purple \ pink makes me think Ark went woke, for some reason.
Or at least one "artists"
