This one's going up later today, but all Supporters can watch now. 4K h.264 file will be added imminently, as soon as the upload is complete.

This ground-up remake of Ark Survival Evolved moves to UE5 with a bevy of new visual features - starting with Lumen, Nanite, volumetric clouds and updated physics. The performance cost runs deep on console though, leading to a 20-40fps range with full screen tearing. On the plus side, Ascended offers a small reprieve via a console command menu, letting us tweak select settings on PS5, Series X and S - so can we better optimise the game ourselves for 60fps?

I audibly gasped when the character creation screen was shown. I wonder if - given the previous Switch port - the studio behind this takes the “any publicity” moto a bit too seriously?
