00:00Escape from Tarkov boss Nikita Boyanov, who is now also heading work on a sci-fi shooter
00:05called Fragmentary Order, says Ark Raiders is the extraction shooter for casual people.
00:12Ark Raiders had an explosive launch.
00:14It was the game that convinced a lot of people to try out an extraction shooter.
00:18Whereas games like Escape from Tarkov cultivated a hardcore, arguably unwelcoming reputation
00:24for the genre, Boyanov was recently asked if he would be taking cues from the success
00:29of Ark Raiders, to which he replied, it's not an option for us.
00:33We want to have the most painful, most challenging and most rewarding experience.
00:38Pain Force certainly lines up with my understanding of Escape from Tarkov's high highs and abyssal
00:44lows.
00:44Which do you prefer, the hardcore challenge of Escape from Tarkov, or the more approachable
00:49style of Ark Raiders?
