I was joking about this yesterday - asking if this was a post-apacolyptic ant simulator.
And Them! was a terrible movie.
Well, it's better than giant spiders. I f***ing hate spiders :(

Same here. They weren't too bad in Skyrim, until you got deep in their lair of web and death, walked into a giant and empty space and saw a big momma spider slowly coming down at you from a big hole when you looked up.
Ugh...
That would make a great horror game though, Amnesia would have been 10x more terrifying if there were more spiders instead of lame old roaches.
Well that's just silly. Everyone knows that as their size increased, according to cube rule, their legs would be unable to support their massive bodies.
And Them! was a terrible movie.R3FURBISHEDWhatever, Them! was great. Pretty original movie for its time too.
No sillier than the general consensus theory that the game is about cordycep fungi making the leap from insects to humans.Well that's just silly. Everyone knows that as their size increased, according to cube rule, their legs would be unable to support their massive bodies.

But what is with all the quarantines in the video and the "Infection" as they call it?
It was either gonna be Giant Ants or Infected humans. I really thought the giant ants too with the noises on the tape and the screams. But the quarantines and "infected" talk made me think humans. Maybe its both? I don't know anymore but I am still excited. This game is really getting me hyped :P

Well that goes without saying.
I still can't believe those are screenshots. I have a feeling they're the biggest bullshots of all time. What's crazy is that the leaves actually do look like flat textures when I blow up the image! ActionRemix
I know. I thought it was a photo just to show the premise of the game blah blah but then I zoomed in and saw the pixelation and it blew my mind. That's why I thought it was Crytek seen as they have high end visuals and do some of the best foliage.

But that newspaper stand...how would that even work ingame unless it's a point and click-style adventure game?[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"][QUOTE="ActionRemix"]I still can't believe those are screenshots.

Shots are definitely Bull shots anyway. It won't look THAT realistic. It will look superb no doubt but these are for hype.Most shots are BS these days.
Also you listened to the IGN podcast on it right? cos they talked about how it could be a Them! kind of game
Don't get me excited now, i hope it doesn't disappoint.johny300
I have a feeling it will but I am excited about it which im surprised I am. More about how viral and secretive it is than the game itself :P

The artstyle. The texture detail. That sh-t is impossible unless it has the gameplay of Myst or they've made unbelievable breakthroughs in multi-threaded programming. Here's Uncharted 3's attempt at a newspaper for comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfF9y_Z6Zvgp[QUOTE="seanmcloughlin"][QUOTE="ActionRemix"]But that newspaper stand...how would that even work ingame unless it's a point and click-style adventure game?ActionRemix

In game they will probably be more blurry. Its just for the viral campaign they're doing. I wouldn't get too excited about visuals yet. Wait for the trailer for that stuff.
Also it won't be point and click because it just wouldn't work on PS3 and no one would buy it and it wouldn't do well. I expect a third person survival horror type game or something like that

Yeah also that youtube video and that guy talking about had me Hyped. :P I hope its something amazing.Which is why they are bullshots because they are super clear and HD.

Another article to get you excited: http://playstationlifestyle.net/2011/12/09/the-last-of-us-exposed-new-info-new-theories/ This is what inspired this thread, although I believe the writers they think it'll have ant swarms instead of giant ants.

I didn't respond to the video because I made a thread about it earlier today but got no replies so I deleted it :P
I don't care if it has mutated ant human hybrids conquered by aliens as long as its done right. The game has such buzz around it and has great potential and the people making it seem very smart with the way they are releasing stuff for it. I am impressed by it already. I just hope its not a disappointment or a let down.
Also I agree with the others, I really want a cool horror game. One with giant ants could really work if done right. Create the fear and tension I heard in the ant trailer at the end and you're onto a winner. We need a good scary mainstream game
Ahhh that article has me even more hyped now. Come on VGAs already
Ahhh that article has me even more hyped now. Come on VGAs alreadyseanmcloughlinIt could have a lot of different enemies. Normal-sized ant swarms with giant queen ants?
hmmm so the retards from hollywood are knnow bringing their retardation to gaming?....whoooopie??kodman4
That's rich coming from a guy that can't spell NOW. Don't call other people retards if you have the capacity to be one yourself

Sure. That's what I was thinking. One type of enemy would have been boring anyway. Also who said they have to be normal sized to be in swarms ;)

This is the PS3 we're talking about. 15,000 giant ants on the screen. :lol: I don't think that would fit the mood for a horror game, either.Actually, I think it's a definite they won't reveal the monsters tomorrow. They gotta keep the viral hype up somehow!ActionRemix
We will be teased with them and find out what they are maybe but not a reveal of how they look. We will see settings scenarios and characters tomorrow

What if the monsters are ant people? :o
Maybe scientists were making an experiment or sumtin then the ants started mutating and now they crawl into people and turn them into ant people by controlling their brains and changing their dna somehow. Then they make the infected ant people make the ants bigger, stronger and smarter somehow and the ants start evolving and start taking over the world by kicking mankind's ass. :o
And you play with a regular dude who go lost or left behind and is trying to survive.
That would be cool.
What if the monsters are ant people? :okweeni
