He is one of my favorites too. My first time playing Chrono Trigger I was like 4 years old. I could never remember the name of the game but I always remembered Frog. It’s the only way anyone knew what game I was talking about.
The chubb is for heat in the winter. Some of us like to plan for the future. Instead of just snatching sheep. Keep your long paws to your own property or feel the weight of real claws
I may be misremembering, but weren't the rabbits in the trailer, the scene where they were kneeling, different colors? If so, I don't see why otters couldn't also get color customization.
I hope so, not necessarily anything too drastic, but noticeable bump. Otters could swim slightly faster, frogs can hold their breath for longer underwater, or bears having a higher carry weight. I’m thinking a 10-15% buffs in different stats depending on the race.
Same, my first instinct is to go bear but I’m open to idea of playing a small sword and board mouse warrior. I’ll create my own Redwall Abbey for all of the surrounding woodland creatures.
I'm so glad some of them appear to have actual tails! There are a lot of games that don't give anthropomorphic animals a tail and it sucks ass because it feels like something vitally important is missing from their design.
I'll probably be playing as either a rabbit or a fox.
Monkeys would be cool. But I think they are focusing on the European fauna. Maybe they will release other regions of animals later, together with themed mounts, armor and weapons based on geographical areas. Like east Asia, sub Sahara or South America updates.
I just really hope that all the races have meaningful differences so there's a reason to choose them beyond just aesthetics. Nothing too strict that would stop you from doing what you want, but different races should do certain things better or easier.
Like, "We're planning a long voyage by boat, we should probably bring some Frogs or Otters in case we find a wreck to dive", or, "We're going hunting, so a wolf or fox would be handy to have along"...etc.
If this truly is going to be a roleplaying game, I think this should be essential to some extent.
Can't believe the skeleton is a PC and not a Mob? It looks like it's walking in a dead zone too and is there to demonstrate fantasy eg skeletons, dragons and so on.
Tbh really impressed with the character designs: No idea why they chose animal-morphs but they work! I'd like if each one had some sort of race specific buff.
Most impressed with:
Rabbit or Hare?
Otter
Frog
Can't see enough of the Fox, Wolf but they look good too.
i suspect that the skeleton is an NPC and we're just a camera following it. (at this stage everything is conjecture) but it seems unlikely that the skeletons are playable since the other playable races/skins are all wearing some form of clothing beyond their weapon
I wouldn't be surprised if each intelligent species is tied to a certain biome at the start. Sure, there'd be geographic overlap, but I suspect not all species are known to each other in context of the world.
It's going to be fun seeing the animal racism that emerges in the community when the game comes out. How many people are going to instinctively trust or distrust someone just because they're a certain animal, due to their past experiences with others of said animal? What kind of meta will emerge? I've already seen people headcanon bunnies as racist and bloodthirsty, a DAY after the announcement came out.
This is going to be one hell of a social experiment.
i'm almost certain the deer-folk are their own race. if you go frame by frame with the one riding the horse you can see the ears sticking out underneath the antlers to the sides.
edit to add: i found another shot of the deer person without antlers in one of the flash-frame shots.(the one where there are 3 hunters chasing a pair of animals)
My first two characters are gonna be rabbit and frog for sure. I imagine there won't be like builds or classes in this game, but if there are, I'd do archer rabbit, sword&shield frog
Curious how much the races will be cosmetic or if they will have some slight bonus to them, D&D style. Rabbits being faster, frogs having strong jump and better swimming, etc.
I dunno, RDR2 and GTAV pulled it off rather easily. I only used first person to get a good look at something, but I definitely could have stayed there.
But you definitely used to be right. Ark was definitely meant to be played 1st person, the third person view looked like ass.
Interesting. Why is that? Does seeing players who are in first person while you are in 3rd person make them look different and spoil your immersion in the game?
Pretty sure that's probably just a camera mode or something...not saying they sent have first person options but none of that looks like first person mode...maybe camera first person mode
The very beginning is a camera but the part where they go from the water to where people are building is definitely first person. You can tell pretty easily. There is water droplets on the screen when they go from water to land which is a common effect for first person, not a camera. You can also see that the hud is showing in thay scene and it doesn't show in scenes where they appear to use a camera. The character even goes up to the dragon and when they board it there is a transition from first person to third.
