bruh i got so excited bout that

last jacinth
#

@fervent stag what do u mean not for me and I like ark for years

frosty dove
#

though tbf primal survival didn’t look that good, might just be my tastes tho

#

Primal Survival would’ve taken much less money to work on

twilit kayak
#

i mean like play as the dino that sounds fun to me at least

hollow holly
#

What? It looked good

frosty dove
#

my own opinion, you are entitled to yours too

hollow holly
#

I think idk it’s been years since I’ve seen the trailer

fervent stag
#

@last jacinth It's not for the people who play the games, simple as that.
It's for people either interested in the Lore, or to draw in newer audience to the series.
It is simply not going to be for 'us' the Community, since well.....let's be honest here we're not the best of Communities.

last jacinth
#

I feel like there will be a lot of flashbacks

twilit kayak
#

i love the game and the lore

frosty dove
#

I think the show is going to have a lot of ingame references, don’t worry.

twilit kayak
#

that is assumed cause they have helena mom and wife and mei brother

frosty dove
#

hence to the bob character

twilit kayak
#

yes^^

frosty dove
#

See this as a more entertaining, complete way to access Ark’s lore.

last jacinth
#

What is lore

frosty dove
#

baby don’t hurt me

twilit kayak
#

the explorer notes

last jacinth
#

Ok

frosty dove
#

don’t hurt me

no more

twilit kayak
#

u gotta read all of them they super good

last jacinth
#

I not good with words from up north

frosty dove
#

Ark’s lore is brilliant

#

VERY good for a game of its type.

hollow holly
#

Yep

fervent stag
#

@last jacinth Lore is the term for a the Storytelling building up the the Main-Game.
Kind of like History is our 'Lore'

twilit kayak
#

if i had to choose i would rather have tv show than ark 2

frosty dove
#

well we have both

#

I’m more hyped for the show though.

last jacinth
#

They should make a book series of all the exsplorers notes but the books are based off one survivor

fervent stag
#

Patch Notes?

last jacinth
#

Exsplorers notes

fervent stag
#

You mean Explorer Notes?
Patch Notes are just a list of the stuff the Dev's fixed, not anything to do with Lore.

twilit kayak
#

u wouldnt get the full picture from just one perspective tho

last jacinth
#

I mean that’s true

#

I am still wondering how taming will work in the series

#

And how tribes will work in the series

twilit kayak
#

itll prolly work the same they did explain taming method in explorer notes

last jacinth
#

I did not read the notes how did it describe it

fervent stag
#

@last jacinth Realistically.
Game the trust of a animal and it's domesticated for life.

twilit kayak
#

basically u knowck out creature and feed it when it asleep

last jacinth
#

K

fervent stag
#

@twilit kayak That's gameplay though. That's not even close to being Canon

twilit kayak
#

ya it is

#

thats literally how they explain it in the notes

#

its in mei's notes i think

fervent stag
#

They also never explained a Indian man on The Island nor any of these new characters.
So the notes are gonna be thrown out of the window when the series comes out

twilit kayak
#

bruh just cause they didnt mention them doesnt mean they cant be there

hollow holly
#

I mean clue one the give fuck all cares about the lore is that Helena has a para now

twilit kayak
#

you have to keep in mind they need to make a tv show its bound to be a little different

fervent stag
#

Then they wont make any major inpact in the already existing characters.
Cause if they did, they would of talked about them

#

Yeah and Helena never had a Parasaur.
The only creature she had was Athena, a Argy

twilit kayak
#

and radar

fervent stag
#

She studied animals, not tame them like Mei-Yin.

#

So that's another thing that's new that the notes never explained.

twilit kayak
#

i dont think its that big of a deal they gotta change it a little to make it into a tv show

fervent stag
#

How would....Replacing a Argy....With a Parasaur....make any diffrence for a TV show...

hollow holly
#

I just hope it’s not too extreme

#

Hell most of it probably won’t be canon

twilit kayak
#

cause with an argy there is less danger she can just fly places instead of getting attacked by raptor

last jacinth
#

What if there is kids in the series

twilit kayak
#

there arent any kids in ark except one that are born there

#

the youngest people there were college kids

last jacinth
#

Well they did show one in ark 2 if u want to see what I said go over ther

twilit kayak
#

ya but that is different that is out of the ark system

hollow holly
#

In SE Rockwell helped deliver a baby

twilit kayak
#

ya thats why i said only ones that are born there

hollow holly
#

Yeah I was just saying lol I’m pretty sure that’s the only child mentioned

twilit kayak
#

ya

fervent stag
#

@last jacinth Their was a Baby in Scorched

last jacinth
#

Rlly

fervent stag
#

Rockwell killed it.

twilit kayak
#

he killed whole village

fervent stag
#

Well yeah.
But most importantly the Baby

#

Cause he also 'just' helped the Mother give birth to the baby.

twilit kayak
#

he brought it into this world and he took it right out

fervent stag
#

Like the Fucker he is.

twilit kayak
#

i dont get why he would poison whole village cause he was tending to some of the sick and injured prisoners

fervent stag
#

"Oh, greetings a salutation baby. I have helped you get into this world.....And now i will proceed to YEET you out of this world."

twilit kayak
#

lmao

fervent stag
#

He did it cause he cause he was a Ass.
I reread that notes, and he had no other motive of 'why' other then. "Experimentation"

last jacinth
#

I know I am wrong but was Rockwell the bad guy in genesis

twilit kayak
#

well his main intention was to kill leader guy to escape
yes

frosty dove
#

I think the show is gonna remain as brutal as the notes.

twilit kayak
#

i hope so

last jacinth
#

And y did they name it from the first book in the Bible

frosty dove
#

As Helena literally stabbed a guy in the throat.

twilit kayak
#

so that cringy kids stay away

fervent stag
#

@last jacinth You're not though.
He was the Corrupted Master Controller in Genesis 1.

hollow holly
#

The leader was a bAd MaN or something

twilit kayak
#

ya he was

hollow holly
#

That’s why Rockwell took them all out

#

Good man doing gods work 🙏

twilit kayak
#

no he took them out cause he took rockwell prisoner and when her heard that wife needed doctor he took that as opportunity to get close to him

last jacinth
#

Helana stabed him in the heart ur heart is in the middle of ur chest

fervent stag
#

@hollow holly He was, yes.
But after knowing them their really nice people.
And probably would of let him go scott free after he helped the Mother give birth. Since he also was the Guess of Honor in the Party they had for the Mother.

hollow holly
#

Oh well who wants them here anyways

fervent stag
#

@last jacinth Helena stabbed the guy in the trailer in the Throat.
Not in the Chest

twilit kayak
#

but he was scared they would take his artifacts

frosty dove
#

can’t wait to see Rockwell go batshit mental in animated form

fervent stag
#

They already used the Artifacts to defeat the Manticore.
He just didn't want them to touch his Element

last jacinth
#

Idk I thought chest y’all say throat y’all must be right

vast sage
#

@frosty dove godly prof pic nice job

twilit kayak
#

no this was before he found helena and raia he stole the artifacts from obelisk worshippers

#

and then got captured by raiders

#

after they defeat manticore they go to ab the next day

fierce brook
#

I wanna watch this so bad lmao

fervent stag
#

That's all wrong my man. Let me re do it.

last jacinth
#

Does anyone know what app or how much it’s going to be

twilit kayak
#

no

#

dude i am on the explorer notes page just trust

#

wait no nvm

#

he artifacts from worshippers gets captured tells leader about manticore and great rewards then they go slay then he poisons him and village

fervent stag
#

He woke up on Scorched to find a Cultist Tribe worshiping the Obelisks.
He stole their Artifacts and yeeted away.
Then he found another town but it was being raided by the Burning Phonix.
They take him as a prisoner, but he heals the other prisoners to get the Tribe Leaders attention.
He talks to the Tribe Leader and tries to talk him into doing the Manticore fight.
Tribe leader denies cause his wife is preggo.
Rockwell helps Preggo girl and Tribe Leader now likes Rockwell and helps him fight the Manticore.
Tribe Leader with now the fury of a Father montherfucking YEETS himself onto the Manticore and chops it's head.
Tribe celibates and has Rockwell as the Guess of Honor before Rockwell sneaks out and poisons them all.

twilit kayak
#

ya

fervent stag
#

'dude i am on the explorer notes page just trust'

twilit kayak
#

well i only got it slightly wrong but i can admit that

fervent stag
#

And i respect that.

#

Also the ARK 2 trailer in 1440P is out now

twilit kayak
#

i thought it was in 2080p

#

already

open cobalt
#

@south rose puto

fervent stag
#

I wonder how they'll make the Birthday scene in Extinction, for Santiago.

spare sonnet
#

@young sage Go here with your Ark TV series.

young sage
#

Who here plans on watching ARK Animated series, and if so on which platform?

pulsar garnet
#

Yeah what's it gonna be on

young sage
#

I think Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu, because some of the people who're working on the film have had their shows on all 3 platforms before

last jacinth
#

K thanks

gusty crane
#

any of you notice one of the characters names for the animated series? Karl Urban plays Bob, a recent square-jawed ARK arrival. <--- gonna be my fav lol

twilit kayak
#

yes that my fav too

hollow holly
#

I love Karl Urban he’s a great actor tbh

twilit kayak
#

what does he play in

hollow holly
#

Actually most of the names they got are good

#

He played in Thor ragnarok Amazon’s the boys and other shows I can’t think of at the moment

twilit kayak
#

whod he play in thor

hollow holly
#

Scurge

twilit kayak
#

ohh that guy

hollow holly
#

Sorry skurge**

#

But yeah des and troy

vale linden
#

Anyone else here wondering in that trailer why she didn't just jump off the waterfall with her parasaur, then dismount right before she hit the ground so she wouldn't take any fall damage, hop back on, and keep going?

still rapids
#

She was in god mode already

#

That’s how the parasour survived getting comped in the neck

#

The raptor wasn’t in god mode that’s why it died from 1 arrow

hollow holly
#

Helena probably uses aim bot

still rapids
#

100%

wanton vale
#

.

past roost
#

As far as Helena having a parasaur is concerned it would make sense for her to have one as it is a beginner's tame but I don't expect it survive very long into the series. Athena the argy will probably fill the void left by the parasaur's tragic death.

#

Should also mention that it actually is canon for her to have a parasaur as she mentions in the parasaur dossier that she was gifted a saddle for her own parasaur.

frosty dove
#

The notes aren't going to be thrown out of the window at all???

#

I don't understand that logic. If we were to just go off the notes alone, that would not be enough for a fully fleshed-out animated story.

#

If anything, the notes are going to be HEAVILY focused on. It's much better than only referencing to the game alone IMO.

#

plus with the notes, there could've been notes lost over time or people that just didn't write their own notes, so this works for sure

odd hound
#

I cant wait tell they animate aberration

dense meteor
#

i bet each ark is gonna be their own season

odd hound
#

Yee

tall dew
#

I can’t wait for the sad scene when Helena comes back to her base only to see everything’s destroyed, and everyone dead bc some dumb Therizino strayed to close too it

hollow holly
#

Makes sense

remote copper
#

now is it gonna be on a specific website or anything guess well have to see

#

hope we get more teasers before 2022 cause im hyped

past roost
#

@frosty dove they're probably going to elaborate a bit more on the story using the notes as a guide.

frosty dove
vale crown
#

Will this be a YouTube series or an actual TV show?

smoky rose
#

Tv show I thought

hollow holly
#

Tv show

crystal flint
#

we don't know yet, but it's not wildcard producing the show. I would think it would be a tv show or a streaming show

mossy tusk
#

i hope it looks a little better then it did in the trailer

#

like the art

west cedar
#

what service will this be streaming on

glad jewel
#

We don't know yet.

#

I guess Amazon video

lime fractal
#

so hyped

remote copper
#

The art is good

hollow holly
#

^^

#

I liked the art personally

frosty dove
#

I think the art is great

last jacinth
#

Yeah

west cedar
#

There is a character who played by Karl Urban. The character's name is Bob.
I just can't imagine anyone else than Beach Bob.

compact jewel
#

Looking forward to this, depending on where it will be available ofc.

west cedar
#

Yes

tiny perch
#

How do we get the animated skins. I’ve pressed everything

lean atlas
#

Watch the trailer

rugged rapids
#

for ark 2?

upbeat hedge
#

I hope it’s on HULU

lean atlas
#

There are two trailers on the load in screen on steam at least. One is for the animated series that unlocks the raptor skin, and the one below it unlocks the spear and axe skins. Watch them both.@tiny perch

nova sand
#

if the rest of the series is as good looking as the trailer, its going to be amazing!

young acorn
#

Yeah

heavy zephyr
#

its gonna feel so weird seeing like herbivore island of the central cave in an anime im hyped to see stuff like that tho

indigo sky
#

I can finally binge watch and eat snacks while watching this...

nova sand
#

I hadn't even considered that the areas might actually be from the base map

indigo sky
#

That would be cool

rough sigil
#

I got to wonder, how far will this story go

#

Like will this cover just the island, up to extinction or all the way up to gen 2

#

And will this be solely from Helena's view, or will be be constantly be switching between the diffrent explorers

cold canopy
#

prolly only up to extinction

fleet tundra
#

Extinction is where the non PC cast ends @rough sigil so it makes sense to end it there as the Arks fall and maybe at the end of an episode show Genesis launching.

atomic scaffold
#

I hope you all know some weirdo is gonna turn into porn

west cedar
#

yea prolly @atomic scaffold but hope they dont bc itl ruin ark for me

atomic scaffold
#

Yeah same

wraith saddle
atomic scaffold
#

Yes there will be

frosty dove
#

Your best bet is to just try and avoid it. That stuff exists for everything but just remember it's not canon and such

@subtle abyss English only please

iron badge
#

They should make an Animated Series about Ark featuring a ton of celebritys and actors. That would be fantastic

heavy zephyr
#

ikr

#

fr tho im hyped af for this. i hope if this does well itll mean we get to see a live action show or movie in the future that would by so cool

fringe sundial
#

if anyone finds out what its being streamed on please dm me

frosty dove
#

I'd prefer if it was kept animated. Live action adaptations usually flop

#

That and animation is just more pleasing to look at, that and it's more fitting for ARK.

strange gate
#

when is the first ep coming out?

heavy zephyr
#

they prob wont announce what platform its on until its more developed. from there they can show a rough finished version of the show to different companies like netflix or hulu and see if theyll pick it up. most shows on netflix r done like this unless its an original. or it might just be a web series but id imagine theyd wanna monetize it.

fringe sundial
#

they should try and sell it to disney, they have a really good story and disney is disney so they can get any actor they want

west cedar
#

Im sure disney would want a check to Jurassic World

fringe sundial
#

did disney not say during their investors day that they bought an african company that existed to rival disney and explore different things, so disney just bought them

#

kinda pog if you think about it

oak brook

same

frosty dove
#

i hope there'll be some more character concept art sprinkled around during its progress, because honestly even seeing the freaking dodo made my day
meiyin's p cool too i wont lie 👀 dodo best character though

#

also VERY interested in how Santiago is gonna be put into The Island's story, I was pretty surprised to see that he's gonna make an appearance there

crystal flint
#

I am the lore master, I speak for the Lore nerdz

#

I ask for their sake the question that has been burning

west cedar
#

are dodos real?

crystal flint
#

how accurate of a retelling of ARK's story is this going to be?

#

yes dodos are real. look behind you.

frosty dove
#

I'd assume that it's going to be a pretty dang accurate, up-to-date lore retelling.

crystal flint
#

The trailer just caught me off guard.

#

Helena is open about being disgusted by the act of killing others

frosty dove
#

I feel as though her having to fight another survivor and kill them for self-defence would be fine. There's not much else she could do; she was in a pretty rough situation.

crystal flint
#

yeah, it's just the way it's told I think she would have brought up the time when she stabbed someone in the neck with an arrow.

#

I want to see more, want to see what this does.

#

and I am looking very forward to seeing Bob come to life

frosty dove
#

plus on the ARKs it's a pretty kill-or-be-killed world with PVP

smh helena shoulda just joined the PVE server

west cedar
frosty dove
#

this ARK lore retelling is going to be superior because rockwell will actually ascend into the form of a dodo

crystal flint
#

shshhhh, don't spoil the end of gen part 2

frosty dove
#

the true ascension

#

There's Survivors. There's Homo Deus.

And then there's Dodos, the ultimate gods of the ARKs.

light torrent
#

make dodos fight back

#

put dodos in the tek cave on island

oak brook
#

we see Helena go through quite a character development arc in the show and I think we made it all make sense, interested to see how players feel when they see it

How accurate? Quite, but with some changes/developments. We're very close to the characters too and wanted a balance of representing them faithfully whilst also crafting an engaging story

#

That's all I'll say for now, lore nerdz

frosty dove
#

character development make me go ooga booga pogger time

light torrent
#

ok but dodo over seer when

frosty dove
#

yall are so lucky to be working on something so incredible, honest to god the ARK animated news made my year

crystal flint
#

Thank you. I needed that, and I am ok with some changes, just don't pull a clone wars and make the whole thing non-canon.

frosty dove
#

i so wanna draw some fanart for the series but at the same time i'm gonna hold my horses for more character sheet drops

west cedar
frosty dove
#

these past few months have been absolutely excruciating so. hearing the news about this show has honestly brought me so much joy

odd how a silly little dinosaur game can mean so much to me 👀

ikr?? call me whatever u want but ive been watching thw animated series trailer like an endless cycle, I'm beyond excited, I love the part of the man saying "these are not my stars..." and u know the rest ;----;can't wait for 2022

frosty dove
#

god I've been the same for that and the Genesis 2 trailer, so much hype

west cedar
#

literally same, im so so so excited!!! and btw where can I see that dodo everyone is talking about? was he in the trailer and I completely missed it?

frosty dove

I'll DM you a link

thank u so much!!!!

will the series be released on netflix?

we've got gen 2 to keep us entertained

#

The animated raptor skin also works on Tek Raptors. Doesn't look that bad in some of the areas, either. You do need an animated armor skin set. The player looks weird sitting on a cell shaded saddle on a cell shaded tame.

#

The images of striped-backed Anky are sweet. I've mostly seen that color combination on Therizinos and it has a nice 'desert camo' look. I also hope they remaster some of the sounds and can feed them back into the game.

heavy zephyr
#

Russel crowe's voice give me chills honestly couldnt have chosen a better cast for the ark characters. think by far the best one (aside from david tennant) is michelle yeoh as mei yin, sounds a bit older than i wouldve thought but gives off the beast queen vibe i was looking for

frosty dove
#

can’t agree more, this cast is insanely good

lean atlas
#

I tweeted Russell about his role and he ignored my tweet. Normally he will retweet praise for his work. Not sure why he is silent about this job.

crystal flint
#

I know, I haven't heard much from people who are also involved in the show

fervent stag
#

@oak brook Sorry to bother you. But will the Series answer some in-universe questions?
I know Marc stated that Transfering via the Obelisks is Canon, but is that how 'you' guys, Wildcard will make the story? And will you change anything of the story to make it more fitting?

crystal flint
#

she said that was the only thing she would say about the story for now

#

we'll just have to wait for more information

grim plinth
#

So will it go over all of helenas story fro. Island to ext

crystal flint
#

probably

frosty dove
#

I'd suggest just waiting for any more information to be released.

heavy zephyr
#

i saw some "smaller" name actors retweeting abt it but im sure theyll all be sharing more as we get closer to the release. Again dolly said they received early clips of dialogue so i doubt theres much to off of right now.

#

Hello, i was seeing the cast for the ark animated series and there's some characters who don't appear in the lore.

#

Also, since when helena has a wife?🤔 that must be exclusively for the animated series or she must has been her wife way before helena awaking up on the ark

#

Just a thought🌧️

mental patrol
#

i assume it would be memories, flashbacks and all

heavy zephyr
#

Yea the fact that we’ll see her mom and wife and Mei’s brother almost confirms it’s flash backs.

I wonder if all the people who will be voice acting, have ever played ark before

Yo question, how’d u get poglin gang?

clever crater
# heavy zephyr Yo question, how’d u get poglin gang?

Poglin gang is given to individuals who follow the rules in the discord (most importantly, speaking to others with respect) and who worship the great poglin poglinFuego

But conversation here should pertain to ARK: The Animated Series

west cedar
#

I hope in the series when few things get fucky, there will be a line from someone "y' know, just ARK things"

sweet elm
#

I wonder how and if the show will incorporate the Island’s bosses, and how. It’ll be really interesting to see a TV adaptation of ARK, since it’s such a complex game with so many different ways to play

#

It must be so difficult to create a single televised storyline for a game that’s so diverse in play styles

languid thunder
#

@clever crater slide poglin gang

gentle warren
#

I definitely think the mom will be a flashback

#

The wife I could see happening on the Ark proper

#

Were the past lives of the ark survivors real though?

#

Like are they real people taken from across time or are they just recreations with false memories?

mental patrol
#

Their memories are real, but they are clones of those people

gentle warren
#

Ah

frosty dove
#

I think the wife would be in flashbacks.

the nerva and rockwell models are differently not what I imagined

i LOVE nerva's look

rockwell is a bit iffy, def gives off the mad scientist feel but ig i always pictured him with a beard maybe thats what is kinda off putting for me. still a great look tho

#

yea i feel he would be more evil kinda feel with a beard and being a bit older, just my opinion tho

brittle birch
full sapphire
#

@clever crater Animated rockwell doesn't look like the rockwell that we all know, it looks younger, also like @heavy zephyr said, he doesn't look like a mad scientist who experiment with survivors/creatures

clever crater

Change is okay

full sapphire
gentle warren
#

Yeah I kind of expected Nerva to be in full Roman gear but then again everyone wakes up naked on the island

#

I like his look nonetheless

#

Rockwell's too actually. It kind of makes sense to make him become more disheveled over time

full sapphire
#

I mean, expanding the lore is great, but adding more is just weird

gentle warren
#

Are the homo deus the ones who built the arks? I can't remember off the top of my head

#

Yep

#

Are there any other character reveals for the series or just Nerva and Rockwell so far?

I guess everyone imagined them the same way

i miss rockwell's beard 😔

This looks nice as well imo ;D

it'll take me a bit to get used to but i'm liking it honestly

Tbh the characters look good but I'm wondering what the dinos will look like?, I want to see the giga or rex

frosty dove
#

some dinos have been shown off

#

Maybe this is 1 design of Rockwell. Maybe he gets a beard and longer hear over time

fierce lintel
#

I think it was the anky and dodo that were shown

#

Rockwell was 20 or 40 years on the island right?

yeah he may become more and more dishevelled and unorganised

plain fern
#

I miss the beard on Rockwell 😅 and I hope the same thing @glad jewel

frosty dove
#

he's described as being pretty old so over 40

glad jewel
#

So there is a hope for a beard! ;D

frosty dove
#

, rockwell looks like frollo

#

why does he look like frollo
wildcard,

#

lovechild of frollo and david tennant

gentle warren
#

So people who die on the ark do wake back up though don't they?

#

Isn't that talked about in the survivor notes? Like respawning is an actual thing

#

Wouldn't that kind of destroy the stakes?

mental patrol
#

a few people did respawn yes, but it wasnt until after helena ascended that anyone could respawn infinitely, before that it was a very rare occasion, i think the only recorded respawn not by helena was nerva

gentle warren
#

Oh so that is the in universe reason for why literally every player will respawn

mental patrol
#

yep

gentle warren
#

I am guessing that before that people did respawn still but it wasn't guaranteed to be the same ARK

#

Because there are like thousands of them

mental patrol
#

i dont think so, to get to another ark you had to ascend, but we dont really know what happened when they died... as they either died or as you said went to another ark, but i doubt that is the case

gentle warren
#

Didn't Helena and the others see clones of themselves in the inner workings of the aberrant ARK though?

mental patrol
#

not sure if it was aberration, but they did see clones of themselves yes

#

i think she talked about it on scorched, but saw it on the island

gentle warren
#

It will be interesting to see how TAS handles this stuff

mental patrol
#

yeah

frosty dove
#

now show us Bob

gentle warren
#

God dangit Bobby.

fierce lintel
#

I can tell Bob is going to be one of those annoying characters

pure goblet
#

what is the show going to be on?

fierce lintel
#

The story of Helena and a few other characters

#

I guess they are making all the explorer notes into a show

pure goblet
#

no i mean what streaming survise

fierce lintel
#

We don't know yet

pure goblet
#

aww

I wonder if they will tell the story of each ARK
season 1 (the island)
Season 2 (SE)
Season 3 (abb)
Season 4 (Extinction)
And idk maybe 2 more seasons for Genesis

#

Also I wonder if they will include the other abb survivors (the graduate students) that came after they finished the gateway project and left

Or that one girl that thought it was a dream and jumped off a cliff

gentle warren
#

Ooh I like that Trike one

spark heron
#

@pliant briar u forgot val center and rag gatta tell the story for them too

pliant briar

Yes

#

The more the better

gentle warren

But the question we have all been asking ourselves: Will everything in the show defecate every 30 seconds like in the game?

pliant briar
#

OMG yes pls tell that's gonna happen

There dinos poops while being chased

fervent stag
#

@spark heron The issue with that tough. Is that their not even Canon

yeah it aint an anime, but same here

absolutely heartbroken. he absorbed davie tennant's power and became him

last jacinth
#

Yeah just hopefully I will get a streaming app for it

west cedar

frosty dove
#

his beard loss was actually a nerf

#

rockwell's beard was far too powerful so wildcard had to nerf it to make sure he wasn't OP in the final cut

polar birch
#

I miss the beard XD

#

not a fan of the mutton chops

#

everything else I'm loving.

lime saffron
#

I cant wait to see rockwell become the way he did on aberration, or just the entire aberration as a whole

polar birch
#

I hope they make more seasons to go that far ;3

spare sonnet
#

Has anyone stated if its 30 minute or 1 hour episodes yet?

simple thorn
#

It'd be really costly to get 1 hour animated episodes so id imagine its 30 minutes but thats just me assuming

gentle warren
#

I imagine we will see him grow his beard over the course of the series

#

As he becomes more deranged and obsessed

tacit cosmos
#

oh no. Nerva is too hot

gentle warren
#

So wait does Nerva wake up on the ARK with a legion or does he start a tribe with unrelated survivors?

fervent stag
#

@gentle warren He starts on The Island by himself, and starts to enslave people into his Army.

gentle warren
#

Ah

tacit cosmos
#

he didnt start off by enslaving people. He convinced them that they needed order for safety he could lead them

#

then he gave them the Discipline

charred verge
#

although a sequel which follows the survivors story would be cool but idk how that'll be portrayed since the survivor is sort of a self insert

pliant briar
#

Yeah that's what I mean

ancient osprey
#

Are episodes gonna be on Netflix

#

Lol

west cedar
#

Nerva looks pog af

#

Trike is cooler

charred verge
#

I love Rockwell's and Nerva's models the most

#

I can't wait to see how they'll show his transformation into a tentacle monster

pliant briar
#

I love all the models.
It's just that nerva and rockwell aren't how I Imagined them to look like.
I will probs get used to it though

charred verge
#

idk I'd say Rockwell is pretty accurate

#

at least that's how I would imagine him looking

#

he does look a bit young but that's probably because of the animation and he was 40 by time he arrived on the island so... I'd say its fine

pliant briar
#

I always imagined him older with a beared and white hair

charred verge
#

I mean my dad is 40 and he doesn't look that old

pliant briar
#

Same

#

I imagined rockwell like 60 Smth

charred verge
#

although he was a 19th century scientist so maybe they looked older back then

pliant briar
#

I feel like rockwell needs to be older same cloth
And nerva should stay the same age just more roman or modern cloth

#

But who knows maybe there looks will change as the series progresses

charred verge
#

Yeah Nerva looks older and I don't think that's accurate

#

I would've imagined Nerva to be younger than rockwell in both appearance and age

pliant briar
#

Yeah

charred verge
#

pretty sure he was in age(if we're counting their current age and not the timeline they originated from)

pliant briar
#

Yeah

#

Rockwell Even said a couple of. Times that he was old and that his age wasn't helping him

But nerva just spawned and started taking over the island

charred verge
#

I mean Nerva's character has the warrior look and design but he just seems too old

#

Nerva would've been late twenty's or thirties at best

pliant briar
#

Yeah that's exactly what i think

charred verge
#

Either way the Saber looks great

#

and the trike

pliant briar
#

Yes I think they should be added as skins just like the raptor

#

Especially the saber

charred verge
#

I agree I'm fine with just having dino skins but imagine if they added in the animated pike and sword

#

then again if they went to that extent they might as well make a cartoon version of ARK :P

pliant briar
#

Lol that would be hilarious
Imagine if they added it as graphics settings

charred verge
#

It would still look better than low or medium :D

gentle warren
#

inb4 someone makes a mod that turns everything into the cartoon version

charred verge
spiral jewel
#

If there is modding allowed

charred verge
#

I hope I mean WC does support map makers and creators so I'm not doubtful

spiral jewel
#

Me too, it just that I don’t know how it would fit into the new ultra realistic ark 2

#

Or it might not be, who knows?

charred verge
#

I mean I don't think we'll get modding on day 1 until they release the dev kit for ark 2

spiral jewel
#

Yea

charred verge
#

that's fine with me honestly aslong as the game is on bloody steam

spiral jewel
#

I 100% agree

charred verge
#

gotta track those hours somehow :P and it would annoy me if I have the first ark on steam but not ark 2?

spiral jewel
#

If it’s not well then I’m not going to play it

charred verge
#

it just wouldn't fit with my libary

#

I'm thinking it will but we might have to wait longer because I think it will be xbox series x and microsoft store for a while

#

I probably won't watch any gameplay of it but the story definitely I will look up on that

spiral jewel
#

Tbh I kinda happy that it’s not coming to ps

charred verge
#

I mean it will at some point

spiral jewel
#

Because they have a lot of ps exclusive games

charred verge
#

I think it will be close to when the game is releasing or in 2023 for it to release on PS

#

I also have a feeling ARK 2 will release in EA around the time the new Jurassic World movie releases

spiral jewel
#

I think it will

#

Because ark released when Jurassic world did, that spiked its popularity

charred verge
#

yeah

spiral jewel
#

Well before Jurassic world

charred verge
#

that's what I was thinking

spiral jewel
#

The animated series we know is coming in 2022, so they both might kickstart ark 2

charred verge
#

I get to watch both of them and play ARK 2 in the same year that's a win for me

pulsar kayak
#

same

spiral jewel
#

Hell yea

#

Also would love to see more animated skins for ark creatures, like for spino and Sabre

charred verge
#

yeah if the devs don't add that mod makers 100% might

spiral jewel
#

Most likely

charred verge
#

although idk if the devs will release anything related to the textures for the animated series creatures

spiral jewel
#

Wdym

#

They released pictures of how some of the creatures would look

pulsar kayak
#

i want to see a wyvern in the animated series

spiral jewel
#

^

charred verge
#

yeah I know but I mean the actual models in the dev kit or something

#

like a file or something containing the animated series creatures

spiral jewel
#

And a reaper

pulsar kayak
#

i wonder what island there basing it on

charred verge
#

Well apparently the animated series is going to be 30 minutes per episode and 14 episodes with 2 seasons

#

so I'm thinking maybe we'll see only the island and scorched

pulsar kayak
#

dang

spiral jewel
#

That’s what they are working on rn

#

It doesn’t mean that’s all

pulsar kayak
#

they would get a lot more views with extinction

spiral jewel
#

Or aberration

pulsar kayak
#

ya

charred verge
#

I really want to see Aberration so badly in the animated series

#

its my favourite map I'd love to see a cartoon drake as well

spiral jewel
#

I want to see them fight the broodmother. GIANT ENEMY SPIDER

pulsar kayak
#

yes the boss fights will be Amasing

fierce lintel
#

I think extinction would be cool because seeing the kaijus animated would be nice

spiral jewel
#

I wanna see Rockwell become corrupted

charred verge
#

In the lore of ARK I'm pretty sure Helena and Mei-yin fought the megapithecus and could bring a giga into the arena(using cheats :P) and Nerva/Rockwell fought the dragon and the broodmother

spiral jewel
#

And the kaijus we haven’t seen

charred verge
#

I'm thinking they would just add tons of desert, forest and ice titans

fierce lintel
#

Yep

spiral jewel
#

Booo

charred verge
#

I doubt they'll be new kaijus although that would be cool

#

but it wouldn't make sense to the lore since that's what the animated series is following technically

spiral jewel
#

I want the fight between the megapthicus and giga to be like Godzilla vs Kong

pulsar kayak
#

ya

charred verge
#

I mean they'll be Mei-yin's giga if that's close enough

#

I'm wondering if the animated series becomes a big hit will they add a sequel featuring the survivor and genesis part 2

spiral jewel
#

I hope

charred verge
#

I wouldn't even care if they left out The Island and Scorched and jumped straight to genesis, aberration and extinction

spiral jewel
#

I want to see anime magmasaur

charred verge
#

Anime HLN-A anyone?

spiral jewel
#

Or anime space whale, and YES

#

Anime ferox, anime bloodstalker, ANIME BABY MEGACELON

charred verge
#

I wouldn't mind if the devs gave the survivor a voice but I think it'd be cooler if he was a silent protagonist

spiral jewel
#

He just looks

charred verge
#

since that would make sense since the survivor in the game is like a self insert character its his own journey and ours

#

imagine the way he interacts is by emoting XD

spiral jewel
#

I would to hear him/her talk and be like “AND YOU TELL ME THIS NOW?!”

charred verge
#

like WAIT WE'VE had a voice this whole time!?

spiral jewel
#

“If you follow me you won’t get killed, probably....” “what do you mean probably!?”

charred verge
#

although we have got Bob as a literal character so that's close enough I guess

spiral jewel
#

Bob the main character gets stuck in a weird place

charred verge
#

I doubt they would have a survivor saga but it would be funny

spiral jewel
#

It would

charred verge
#

I mean technically we don't even know if The Animated Series is canon considering the extra characters

#

I hope its canon that'd be interesting

gentle warren
#

I mean we only see scraps of the story through survivor notes

spiral jewel
#

^

gentle warren
#

anything extra could have just ended up left out of the notes

spiral jewel
#

So there could be a lot more

gentle warren
#

I would say as long as nothing in the animated series contradicts what we learn in the game directly then we can assume that they both have the same canon

spiral jewel
#

Yea

charred verge
#

I mean if its following Helena Walkers story I think its canon 100%

spiral jewel
#

No it follows Bob!

charred verge
#

Maybe these characters die by the hands of Nerva and the prophet we never see

gentle warren
#

The real main character is Helena's Parasaur

charred verge
#

True its able to go against a raptor much better than the arks parasaurs

#

Her parasaur is going to defeat the overseer in one shot its too op

spiral jewel
#

If that parasaur doesn’t die by the first two episodes it’s not cannon XD

charred verge
#

haha true

gentle warren
#

I am already seeing a sad emotional death scene for it coming

spiral jewel
#

It gets eaten by a sarco

charred verge
#

isn't it killed by a carno?

charred verge
spiral jewel
#

Something gonna rip it in half

#

I just know it

west cedar
#

what service will is be streaming on

last jacinth
#

Idk I think someone said like Hulu and Netflix

charred verge
#

The animated series will be canon because the page on the official website for ARK says this "ARK fans will recognise many aspects of the lore and witness new depth and development to familiar characters. We can’t wait to share more as we near the airing!"

charred verge
#

I'm fine with having no animated skins I just want the hairstyles

west cedar
#

Man they fuckin changed helena man

#

She went from white to brown
Her eyes went from brown to blue
ngl she looks like korra now

frosty dove
#

tbh I really like her new design

#

plus I believe she's somewhat part indigenous australian? might be remembering it wrong
but regardless i do really like her new design

ahhh that's fair, I can see where you're coming from with that. the change is certainly baffling but I personally welcome it honestly

Imagine losing to someone on a parasaur

gentle warren
#

I mean I once had a guy in flak and with an assault rifle harassing me in my thatch house so I went out my back door and clubbed him unconscious and took his stuff

frosty dove
#

what could they be talking about

gentle warren
#

So we have Ark the game, and soon we will have Ark the animated series.

#

But have you considered

Ark: The Animated Series: The Game

frosty dove
#

no i'll do you one better

#

Ark: The Animated Series: The Game: The Animated Series

gentle warren
#

Now we're thinking like Disney

fringe sundial
#

also does anyone know what the TV series is going to be released on

gentle warren
#

Probably Netflix

frosty dove
#

We don't know yet but I'm betting on Netflix, yeah

#

“First look at my character”

#

I thought that the scenes were already animated and shown to the VA so they know what tense and how to say things to match actions. I guess they just haven’t done that part yet.

frosty dove
#

I'd assume that would be done in multiple takes and shown via storyboards?

gentle warren
#

I think David Tennant is such a good pick for Rockwell god damn

frosty dove
#

honestly at first I was iffy on Tennant Rockwell but it works so well

crystal flint
#

I remember specifically that’s how Voice acting is done for sponge bob

frosty dove
#

I don't think every process is the same, dunno

crystal flint
#

It just seems like it makes more sense right?

frosty dove
#

I feel as though animating the actual scene would come later in order to match lipsyncs and actions. Dunno

crystal flint
#

I would just guess that they haven’t done voice acting yet and are still making the scenes

frosty dove
#

probably

gentle warren
#

I would love to see more big name actors in animated works

#

Sometimes feels like animation is taken less seriously than live action

hazy silo
#

Assault rifle Imagine

gentle warren
#

Lol imagine using guns

hazy silo
#

Guns are powerful @gentle warren

west cedar
#

also mark hamill has been helping pioneer that i feel.

gentle warren
#

Who would win: a warrior donning full plate armor wielding the most advanced weaponry of the modern age

Or

A guy with a big stick

west cedar
#

depends how good the dude with the stick is

frosty dove
#

Animation is SO much better for ARK than live action imo

gentle warren
#

Yeah can you imagine the trouble they would have to go through to get real dinosaur actors

frosty dove
#

yeah dawg those are hard to find tbh

west cedar
#

They'd have to tame all of those dinosaurs for the series

frosty dove
#

and theyd have to edit out all the whistling

So, whenever they do Aberration do we get to see that one person commit suicide because they thinks they are in a dream?

west cedar

# west cedar Wait what?

one of the student journals, someone writes about how they think they're in a dream, and then proceed to jump off of a cliff (iirc)

west cedar
frosty dove
#

*"Far out! This place is kinda like that dream I had.

So it went like this: I ride some tram thing to like, the biggest, weirdest zoo in the universe, right? Only instead of normal animals, there's dinosaurs! Totally cool...until they all escape just like in every horror movie ever made. Duh! Anyway, Dream-Me hops into a truck with some ripped, badass dudes, and we just start driving around, shooting dinosaurs and stuff. I felt like a legit action hero!

So I guess this place isn't exactly the same. There's dinosaurs, but I don't have guns or a truck. Also I'm completely alone...

But it's still just a dream, right? I mean, obviously! I don't even know why I'm writing this down, it's all in my head. All I need to do is walk off that cliff, and I'll wake up right before I hit the ground."*

I need to see an animated Aberration series

west cedar
#

I am a monkey

west cedar
#

I want to see a season with art direction from James Gourney, he was assisting with a Dinotopia map at one point and I think he’d be great for fleshing out the every day world

#

Like the microcosm of how a breeder would breed up different species of dinosaurs. What kind of structures theyd live in, what would a quetzal aviary be like compared to one for tapejaras.

#

I’ve learned a lot about world building from him and I bet y’all dollars to donuts that he’d be down

west cedar
#

I'm excited for Helena's early game

#

Never got to hear about it. She started writing at mid-game-ish

gentle warren
#

I hope we get to see the moment she woke up

#

I also hope she goes through the same wake up animation we all do in game

west cedar
#

would be cool if the series starts with her waking on the ARK in first person view and she looks at her implant and then it goes to third/fourth person

#

hah was typing out that similar thought 🙂

gentle warren
#

Yeah just like that. Would be cool as fuck

west cedar
#

I've went through more than helena, i think they should make a story about my ark life

#

tbh, id pay to see Zanfas turtle charge that turret wall in the nude rendered in dramatic fashion

#

but thats why this setting lends well to other media, you can pick anyone from anywhere in time and space and just be like 'here is their dinosaur island adventure'

#

I hope that the animated series brings more people into ARK, especially its lore

as a briddish person i dont know what an ark is

I’m honestly more excited for the animated series rather than ark 2

frosty dove
#

i'm more excited for the series than ark 2

I do hope that the series will go into further depth regarding all of the main characters backstories. So far we know that Mei Yin and Helena’s backstories will be looked into further, but I’d love insight on Nerva and Rockwell’s past lives, too

#

mei yin riding a giga into battle and it just devouring rexes and stuff would be awsome, like a suprise appearance at a party sort of thing

gentle warren

Snap, i forgot main characters are probably gonna die on the series

Bob better not die, If he does. I want a dilo pack death or another bob-y way to die

i dont think itll be on yt tbh. content like this with such a huge cast is usually sold to third party streaming services and would end up making them so much more money then just ad revenue. im thinking netflix if not hulu.

They'd want to make some money back on this, so I'm assuming either Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon.
