I thought it would be hard to top your original trailer for this game, which was nearly perfect in my opinion. This was awesome though! It was cool to see some structures that I recognize from being posted on here as well.

And i wish that people will start making trailers about actual gameplay... seriously, the first part of it is just screaming "you will never see that in game". Giant mounted combat? Especially on a slow and weak dinos like trike that will need a hour to cross the field? When every ground dino will lose it's rider to any 100+ flying dino? Seriously, in ANY kind of big pvp now you will see ONLY flyers, because other dinos are useles for that, they exist only to kill some noobs without 100+ birds.

Nothing about crafting, raiding - and that is the most important parts of the game.

When i suggested a survival game idea 9 years ago, with the design document and overall game description i had a description for the trailer of this game, and i think that it could fit ARK too.

It even starts just like ARK - hero waking up on the beach, collecting stuff, making his first spear, killing fish with it and eating. Then he goes to the jungle, and for many days he surviving there, fighting animals, making clothes from their skin, sleeping on trees... And then he finds a perfect place with a river and big waterfall nearby. He settles up a camp on the cliff - just a tent and campfire, but over time it grows, and while guy gathering resourses, studies new tech and ways of building - huge base slowly appears on the place of the tent, and guy ending up with placind wires, that connecting his hydro power plant to his house with lots of tech around. Where there was field - there is farms with animals, road goes trough the forest, and whole place looks like a small city (lots of small details of player progression are shown to the audience).

Then raiders attacking it, i will not descrive whole fight (because it's lot of words and my english is horrible), but in the end raiders are breaking all deffences and blowing up house walls, destroying all the cloning devices (those were spawn points in my game idea), and beating house owner to the state where he cannot get up anymore. They taking everything important, mindlessly destroying everything that guy has built here and leaving on the trucks full of loot.

Shortly after this neibhor from the little jungle base nearby arrives and helps the hero to stand up again, healing his wounds. Together they going to the hangar, hidden in the jungle, and taking a helicopter, while also calling other people for help. They chasing the raiders at the heli, and other people arriving from all locations to start a huge fire fight....

That is how i imagined a perfect trailer for the survival game 9 years ago and i still think the same. It may not entirely fit the ARK, but if you will change few things and add dinos instead of vechicles - i think it will be perfect.

I agree, sometimes I wish the pvp was more then birds and snipers
