Six-armed octopuses and other abyssal horrors from Ark: Survival Evolved's new AI slop trailer
1 min read
Summary
Ark: Survival Evolved’s developers, Studio Wildcard, have unveiled a trailer for the upcoming Aquatica expansion that has clearly used AI to generate a trailer composed of underwater clips of the game that barely relate to one another.
Wildcard quickly distanced themselves from the trailer and the expansion, announcing their new focus on two other games in the Ark franchise, Ark: Survival Ascended and Ark 2, both of which have much more visually appealing trailers.
The writer describes the cheaply made trailer as somewhat charming in its utter lack of professionalism and poor attempt at editing, and praises the imagery compared to the lacklustre visuals of modern game trailers.
They conclude that while the company has had its own share of controversies, a backlash amongst fans at least signifies a desire for well-made products, however unsuccessfully.
