ARK Park. It has a staccatoed cadence to it that's so damn entertaining to say. I saw it on the Wednesday of GDC and spent the entirety of the week barking it out like DMX pretending he's a dog. Steven, who just would not stop singing the first few lines of "Bad and Boujee," would sometimes transpose the lyrics to "Raindrop, ARK Park." We have a lot of fun with video games, a very serious topic.
Just as we crib from rap for ARK Park, ARK Park cribs from Jurassic Park for its whole concept. We begin the demo in a visitor's center, one that looks awfully familiar. It's filled with holographic displays, each one committed to giving a little information about a different dinosaur. I pick up a holographic leaf and a holographic brontosaurus leans down to gobble it up, taking my hand with it in a weird translucent way. I offer it some meat and it isn't at all interested.
It's then that I teleport on top of a giant map (this is VR-only after all; blinking across short distances is about the only way to get anywhere) and choose a less manufactured destination. I'm going out into ARK Park to get an up-close look at the wildlife that runs this place. It's clear that this venture isn't a dangerous one because I'm not given a means to protect myself. ARK: Survival Evolved is where you go to defend yourself from nature; ARK Park is where you go to get a voyeuristic first-person glimpse at it, free from the constant threat of maybe getting trampled.
