PSA: 'Photo mode on asa is a tad broken on ab so lighting is a tad strange' also there is a new cinematic lighting mode which i didn't know was a thing when filming
100% ase ab still looks great, i feel lumen needs some tweaking on asa, there is an cinematic lighting mode now which is very taxing (Might of been good to show it off in that mode but didnt know when filming).
Idk how to describe it, but I really like the lighting and ambience of ASE better. ASA just seems like some blender render rather than simulating an actual environment.
ASE : "What if we had a map revolving entirely around the comcept of darkness ? And in order to progress you'd have to equip light-producing items and creatures ? And each biome would have a different color and vibrance ?" ASA : "Hold my lumen"
Man, this is tough. I like the lighting and colors much better in ASE, but of course ASA seems to have much more interesting geometry and whatnot. Green zone in ASA looks awesome, but the brightness of the willows in the Blue zone is waaaay too high and *why* are the crystal lake crystals no longer purple? Red zone looks pretty all right, if not too bright in a few things like the element water (that needs to go way down). I'm excited, but man I wish they kept some of the coloring choices more similar to the original personally. I wish that the shadows were a bit more prevalent, as that adds to the mystery and apprehension of descending down into a horrifying and alien cavern.
I feel like I miss being a scared little 🐕! Going omg my light went out my pet light went out. Now even the rocks glow??? Why is everything so over grown.??? How do I dial that back? The glitches right now rotten!!
I really am perplexed how they’ve managed to make ASA look worse than ASE when it’s supposed to be the upgrade the new maps genuinely look terrible, they totally killed the atmosphere and character the maps had.
the asa one looks terrible. they barely changed anything. the lighting is so awful if you use the dlss aliasing. and the redzone is unbearable. what were they actually smoking?
This looks way too saturated, and the enviroments are suffering because of it. Especially the deeper the map gets, the color pallets from ASE seem to just be lost. Like, the element area. It's usually a darker purple with some red accents naturally put there by the crystals, (meant to communicate danger, mystery and toxicity) but now it evokes the feeling of a house party with led lights illuminating the room (especially 3:11). Can this work/can this look pretty? Sure! But is it what this specific environment should be communicating/what it needs to work narratively and gameplay-wise? No, not really. I know it's probably because of the switch to UE5 and Lumen being an entirely different beast to work with, but there must be a solution to what we're seeing here. It's very jarring. (No shade to the devs, btw). Moving these maps over must be a colossal task and they're pouring them out at a faster rate than when they originally released, meaning less development time, meaning less opportunity to fix stuff like this. At the end of the day, at least this is just a visual thing. If the map works and plays well, then that's what matters (can't confirm this, though; haven't had a chance to play yet); visual bugs/mistakes can be corrected later. I just hope they have the opportunity to look into this one before moving on to the next map release. (I hope this doesn't sound mean-spirited. I'm just throwing my thoughts out to try and explain why this looks off)
Seeing the Evolved version made me so happy as it’s my favorite map by far. Console ASA is so glitchy and slow (really bad frames and laggy spots on series X on singleplayer with all the helpful commands) It seems they just added so much lush jungle and light oversaturation. They pulled out a forest painter brush and just drew across the whole terrain 😂, looks good but prefer the OG!
I feel like they just need to turn the gamma down a bit. Ab is SUPPOSED to be hard to see in. Especially in the depths. Crystals and the river were meant to be the sources of light.
I think them lighting the map up was a big mistake I liked the whole dark and creepy vibe it put off especially when exploring it for the first time that experience was something else
This is not a map overhaul, this is a map disfiguration, they destroyed my baby... Why would I even bother with ASA, I've been holding out hope for it this past year but if they're treating my absolute favorite map like this why even bother. (Not to mention the P2W garbage they've been adding)
This looks like garbage though. They did a poor job on it. Scorched Earth was great, though. All the colors are gone here and it is a blurry, grainy, strobe light mess. Just look at the blue zone comparison. It's hard to even pick out detail it looks so washed out.
No everything just glows.. People are allowed to have opinions especially when its a fan favourite map for so many people.. People aren’t going to be happy when the things that made people love abb are now gone
@@Verbmo They completely changed the color scheme, too. Just that one blue zone comparison is night and day. Wild. It went from being purple to bright green everything. Looks nothing like the map.
Is it just me or do you feel like there is tooooo much over growth. I cannot see where paths are?? Why is the dark areas that were exciting now sooooo dang bright!!!
Dang… it is pretty, but the whole atmosphere has changed… I don’t look into the end of the Blue Zone and go, “Oh I probably shouldn’t be here…” 😅 The shadows and darkness are a very important part of the vibes.
I don't like the new map. I loved the old one. It was much darker and had the cave touch. Now everything is... way to bright... the old map was minimalistic and just beautiful. Now just too much 😢😢😢
Wow, new map looks terrible, WC need to get a colour theory expert and a lighting expert to join the team. Very disappointing to see m favorite map destroyed.
@@joshuanaylor3416 man you don't even pay for the map,I still play ase in PS4 and it look like shit and I don't have even aberation I wish that I can even play asa
The notes in game literally state stuff is bioluminescent like the plants and animals so it makes more sense things are brighter, in real life bioluminescence can really add up and get bright
I honestly hate the new aberration. it looks horrible especially the blue and red zone. those veins in every rock look horrible and the colors are over the top in places where it should be dark. like why is the red zone blue and purple now.. its so damn ugly. they removed all the character and kontrast of the map. i loved aberration and now its a piece of garbage that makes your eyes hurt.
PSA: 'Photo mode on asa is a tad broken on ab so lighting is a tad strange' also there is a new cinematic lighting mode which i didn't know was a thing when filming
Wow seeing it side by side, I gotta say.. ASE holds up SO BLOODY WELL! All the UE5 flashiness can be really over-stimulating.
100% ase ab still looks great, i feel lumen needs some tweaking on asa, there is an cinematic lighting mode now which is very taxing (Might of been good to show it off in that mode but didnt know when filming).
@@Gavn08oh ffs
@@Gavn08 I 100% agree with you. There is also hardly any ambiance that you would get in the green zone of aberration ASE.
Yea asa version feels like it belongs in the past before the ark was broken
Idk how to describe it, but I really like the lighting and ambience of ASE better. ASA just seems like some blender render rather than simulating an actual environment.
lumen is messing with it. its way too saturated. it looks awful.
@@diddykong9366why is everyone say it's awful man just because some fucking lights
@@mrlionheart5227 its awful, the aesthetic is way off for a destroyed dystopian ancient world
Esperaremos a la versión 5.4 a ver si arreglan algo
For real. It's too bright. At least in the red zone. It feels kinda off. The barren black rocks really vibed with the heavy radiation
ASE : "What if we had a map revolving entirely around the comcept of darkness ? And in order to progress you'd have to equip light-producing items and creatures ? And each biome would have a different color and vibrance ?"
ASA : "Hold my lumen"
Wdym ase version wasn't so dark you needed light to see
@@WalterEKurtz-kp2jf look at 2:08 vs 2:11 ase ab has a dark brooding mood to it, asa is all sunshine and happy rainbows.
@@aidanpryde7720 I think the map has just come out and adjustments will be made and gamma is high
This isn't just lumen, the rocks, the alien structures, the mushroom trees, whoever made this map needs to be fired right now.
@@simonbelmont1539 You're all insane or running shit hardware, the map looks incredible
The brightness ruins the whole vibe aberration is suppose to give off...
Fr especially in the blue and red zone

Honestly, everything in ASA that should be dark is too bright. First thing I noticed about nights on the island.
Me too. There is a mod called survival ambience that makes it like ASE, but it breaks the water physics.
@@JustMarq I love the mod!
Asa aberration don’t feels like aberration anymore 😢
everything is so bright and i think that destroys the atmosphere
Omg THANK YOU!!
I feel like I miss being a scared little 🐕! Going omg my light went out my pet light went out. Now even the rocks glow??? Why is everything so over grown.??? How do I dial that back? The glitches right now rotten!!
Shadows does not exist in ascended.
Every thing glows.
Even the normal tree branches 😂
I play on PC and can confirm that's false
Oh.. theres shadow alright... Some places are dark very very dark
@@Dread_G8tr I'm comparing it to Evolved.
I also play PC
ASE: Terrifying cave world where everything wants to tear you to shreds.
ASA: Home.
I really am perplexed how they’ve managed to make ASA look worse than ASE when it’s supposed to be the upgrade the new maps genuinely look terrible, they totally killed the atmosphere and character the maps had.
After defending asa for so long i cant ignore this. Ase is 100% better
Why is everything so much brighter.. doesn’t even feel like your in a dark cave anymore
The new lightning looks weird
I actually like the se version more. The lighting and vibe is so much better.
Watching this whilst my download speed is lying to me
the asa one looks terrible. they barely changed anything. the lighting is so awful if you use the dlss aliasing. and the redzone is unbearable. what were they actually smoking?
Its a light show now, not even ominous like it use to be.
It seems like the gamma is turned way up for ascended
I’m guessing it will feel better in game
@@Gavn08it’s much too bright
@@Gavn08 I just loaded in today, the lighting is really odd. I don’t understand lol

It still has few nice moments, but if they fix the lighting by making this map darker it will look nice. Still the old Aberration map looks better.
I am starting to come to mind that this game is just a cash grab for wildcard so they don't go broke.
Honestly, all they need to do is fix the lighting, and the new version would be so much better than the original
Shadows: bye bye
Light: Hiiiiii
Its a pretty underwhelming compared to asa the island. Guess thats what happens when you give wildcard your money before delivering
ASA version feels soulless in comparison to ASE
HOW DID THEY FAIL THIS OMFG
I think SE looks better with the Grim Dark Atmosphere, not everything has to blind me.
I’m not 100% sure how I feel about the daytime surface change, but the rest is good to me
Incrível demais ❤adorei o Aberration Ascended ❤ valeu o tempo a espera!
Aberration has lost all its awe and ambience
How quickly did you pump this out?
The new Map is too Bright, not a fan.
Anyway I forgot how good the aberration music is, like they really ate that

why does the old map look better to me though?
Because the new one is way more ugly
Well its weird underground but not even dark
I feel like they just need to turn the gamma down a bit. Ab is SUPPOSED to be hard to see in. Especially in the depths. Crystals and the river were meant to be the sources of light.
Im so fucking upset about the changes. its horrendous
1:50 hit hard... asa is not good looking
I think them lighting the map up was a big mistake I liked the whole dark and creepy vibe it put off especially when exploring it for the first time that experience was something else
Totalled.... what's the next map that will be destroyed?
Why does ASA Ab look like the aftermath of an EDM fest?
the original looks better lol....
How increasing brightness in your phone be like:
Man after the update I can't even get into none of the maps😢
Not sure if it's your GPU settings and or power, but your ASA looks way to bright
blue zone looks kinda intressting little bit to bright for my opinion
Ark is mystic and dark Ascended is shiny and Bright. I find the inner Ark better the outside winning asa.
Went way overboard on trying to “upgrade” Aberration, no need for changing the whole entire map
It is like every scene comparison is a straight downgrade from ASE version...wtf did they spend all this time doing? They downgraded the map!
especially the artifact cave. what did they do to our boy? girl..whatever.. aberration... i swear whoever signed this color change needs to be fired
Well with this much light I dont think reapers will have a good time
This is not a map overhaul, this is a map disfiguration, they destroyed my baby...
Why would I even bother with ASA, I've been holding out hope for it this past year but if they're treating my absolute favorite map like this why even bother.
(Not to mention the P2W garbage they've been adding)
Bro the remake looks great idk why everyone is whining about it being “too bright” clearly the gamma is turned up to see the details of the map.
You know ark players crybabies and just talk to hear themselves talk

Gamma 5
Btw I’m a big fan of
No es malo pero esperaba mucho más
Quien esta a cargo en asa
Ummm really? The lighting and colors look so bad compared to ASE, is it just me?
They lost the atmosphere of the original map by screwing with the lighting, it was supposed to look dark and spooky...
Is it just me or do you feel like there is tooooo much over growth. I cannot see where paths are?? Why is the dark areas that were exciting now sooooo dang bright!!!
Dang… it is pretty, but the whole atmosphere has changed… I don’t look into the end of the Blue Zone and go, “Oh I probably shouldn’t be here…” 😅

It looks to bright I think
Stick with ASE aberration, not ASA aberration.
Asa is such a flop I can’t😭
All yall just play on potato pcs and he obviously has the gamma turned up 💀💀💀
no gamma turned up lol, but there is a new cinematic lighting mode which i didnt know off when filming but its not play worth!
Wow, new map looks terrible, WC need to get a colour theory expert and a lighting expert to join the team. Very disappointing to see m favorite map destroyed.
Looks worse
Don't play simple.mate
Looks like someone took the old Ark and put it through unreal without adding the atmosphere and vibe
@@joshuanaylor3416 man ark community is greedy .never like something,and when the game shut down you say why?
@@mrlionheart5227 how tf are we greedy if we’re the ones paying for the damn game?
@@joshuanaylor3416 man you don't even pay for the map,I still play ase in PS4 and it look like shit and I don't have even aberation I wish that I can even play asa
Fox on Xbox ascended looks worse then evolved

JUST GAMMA DOWN IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE LIGHTING
Thats not the issue everything in asa glows so just making your screen darker doesn’t make the map any more ambient
Seems like they just made it brighter for the pvp aspect of the map
It looks so much cleaner and thought out in ASA I can’t wait to get my new pc to finally play it again🙏🙏
You need your eyes checked lol. Wildcard couldn’t even release an environmental trailer because of how ugly it is
Nah it looks horrible
I honestly hate the new aberration. it looks horrible especially the blue and red zone. those veins in every rock look horrible and the colors are over the top in places where it should be dark. like why is the red zone blue and purple now.. its so damn ugly. they removed all the character and kontrast of the map. i loved aberration and now its a piece of garbage that makes your eyes hurt.
wow they ruined it lol.
Sub to this guy he is amazing youtuber
ASE looks better imo
far, far, far ,far too bright, too much direction less ambient
Propaganda
1st
Downgraded.
Good god , all you people just live to whine
Period as we should💋
@ANGELIC_DIVA_ I'm guessing you have a rig that can't run asa?💋💋
fking disgusting what they did to my favourite map
