Ugh, ants. Fallout 3 burnt me out on them, lol. I've been following the announcements of this game... but I see zero reason to be excited about it yet.

Surprising, I think I still have a copy of this game somewhere.

The first clip showing the fungus did mention (if you watched the actual clip from the BBC Documentary), that this particular type of fungus only affects one species, however there are other similar fungus within the same family of fungi each one affecting a different creature, so would it really be outside the bounds of reality for there to be an as yet unknown fungus that affected humans or a fungus with the ants as a carrier that could be modified by the ants that affects humans.

Personally I am hoping the game is partially with the fungus/ants as an enemy but ultimately about those remaining surviving and dealing with the last acts of those sent crazy by the affects the fungus has on their brains (as seen in the ant clip)

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.

I think a lab will be trying to reduce the human population and create a similar type of thing based on the fungus. Then thwy release it but it gets out of control and you play as a survivor dealing with post apocalyptic stuff like pirates and marauders and then, GIANT ANTS!!! But would they attack humans? People seem to think that this fungus is a zombie fungus, and that it makes these ants act out. They don't. They have brain damage from the fungus growing inside of them and it grows until enough damage has been done to kill the ant. The ant doesn't attack other ants, it just walks around weirdly because it has severe brain damage. Worker ants can walk right up to them and get rid of them and the infected ant doesn't fight back at all.

I bet it's a zombie game.

How many exclusive zombie games are there?

'The Last of Us' the survivors.

The fungi, the cause, ants, the carriers. Like the Plague.

Plausible?

Then what about the infections? Do people get infected and turn into ants? I dont think the focus was the ants but rather the fungus/infection.

That was what I was thinking. To reduce world population they engineer it for humans but then it gets out of control. Or, dare I say, a terrorist plot, which wouldn't be well recieved by here due to the fact that it might be a shooter if so, or it could just be the background of it.

I'm in North West England so same time zone.

Just sat here wondering how many people are either tuning in just for the "Last Of Us" preview, or will look up the footage from the VGA's specifically for it. This does seem to be a really well handled marketing ploy by Sony and the game developer, and am hoping it lives up to the hype that is being built around the game. Certainly from the little that has been said about ti sound like this will be a unique game.

Did GT tease the ps3 exclusive seperatly from the last of us? If so, the last of us could just be a random ps3 exclusive that is being shown and the "one we can't beleive" will be revealed also at the end. I'm just saying.

That would be nice but I am expecting it to just be a little more information about LOU although you never know, I mean I was quite surpised to see a trailer for Alan Wake for 360 as seemed like it had not done well enough for a sequel (from the bit's I'd read about it)
