Pretty amazing huh.. if only they would make a PvP game out of it? Well actually, it has open world PvP, base building, and survival. Its like Rust but with dinosaurs instead of zombies. Steam early access June 2nd. Ps4/Xbone/Pc in 2016.
I read a bit on the steam page. I'm definitely going to pick this up on Early Access release. I think H1Z1 really missed the mark by not making the zombies and the environment more of a threat. PVP is really the only threat in that game. The dino's roaming this world should pose quite a threat.
As a man or woman stranded naked, freezing and starving on the shores of a mysterious island called ARK, you must hunt, harvest resources, craft items, grow crops, research technologies, and build shelters to withstand the elements. Use your cunning and resources to kill or tame the leviathan dinosaurs and other primeval creatures roaming the land, and team up with or prey on hundreds of other players to survive, dominate... and escape!

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version? “While we have the foundation of our game at Early Access launch, there are many currently-planned features and content additions we will be adding over the year from EA to full release. Beyond such planned features, will be adding TONS of aspects suggested or iterated on by the community, hence the point of Early Access!
Planned Core Features include, among many other things:
- Mac and Linux versions - Procedurally Generated ARK's - 40+ more creatures to reach over 70, with essentially every major category of extinct animal represented in some way - More saddle types including saddle armor tiers and saddles with powerful weapons mounted on them - Gas-powered Vehicles - Human/Dino Body-Paints - Enhanced building mechanics to evolve ARK into one of the best straight-up builder games out there - More underwater biome/ecosystem complexity, including support for vacuum-sealed underwater bases - Lots more items, weapons, armors and further advanced tech tiers - More item skins, limited run event skins - More bosses and the end-game cycle including the Ultimate Life Form & Ascension - More biome types, including deserts, snow regions, swamps, and more. - Steam Economy Support for Statistical Items (Need some Steam API functionality for this from Valve!) - Way more plants and more detailed plant biology systems/farming systems - More statistical modelling of status illnesses/diseases (both player and creature) - Better SFX, more Music, Better UI's, Better Gamepad support (i.e. UI button shortcut callouts), Better VR support (i.e. HMD gun-aim option)
