really? I might want to double check that. well for either of the engines its a bit 'loud' in color. Not really cartoonish but something like that I cant put my figure on it other than to say I don't think I am a fan of the graphics

Engine type has nothing to do with color or art style. Shooters on similar engines usually look similar- because they are shooters. Not because they are in similar engines.

ARK took UE4 in a bit of a different direction, a loud, colorful direction. :)

Yep. UE 4.
The graphics engine doesn't really determine what the art assets look like, just what kind of effects are possible. If you don't like the style, that's not related to UE4 or Unity.

that was a huge waste of money.

I say that because Unity cost wise is much better choice and easier to develop on and have more support and more community support.
So to make a game look like Unity but use UE4 is franckly I dare say...stupid in my view

I am a developer actually but not a game developer.

Unity Engine isn't designed for games like ARK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unity_games

There isn't a game on that list with the complexity of ARK and graphically Unity can't hold a candle to UE4. Google is your friend, use it and educate yourself instead of spewing your opinions around the internet like gospel.

A dev who thinks assets are tied to the engine. Mhm. +1

We get it, you dont like the game. Your big cryfest post that got locked is evidence enough of that. But please, keep crying and insisting that you know better then these devs, even though you are not a game dev youself. It makes you look hyper intelligent and credible.

[Red River]

you forgot that UE4 has native dx12 support and this is a huge help with performance this game could use once they figure out how to implement it pr0perly :)

but i guess that was his whole intention... his other thread where he complained about ark fanboys and announced that he hates ark and is planning to troll our forums from now on was just closed a few minutes ago.
