This tells all about the game. In the video you just watched, the ant was infected by a fungus that normally only infects ants. That fungus grows on the ants brain, makes the climb to the top of a tree, and die. Once the ant is dead, the fungus releases spores that infect other ants. In the game, that's how everybody dies. This fungus evolves and jumps to humans where it infects and kills them. It is a very real fungus, although it hasn't jumped to any humans (yet).
An ant brain only has connections neccasary for survival it has no mind, A human is a large complex being that is very adaptable, a human brain is massive and so complex we are actually aware of own existance, there arnt many parasites that can actually do anything to a human, our biggest problem are worms, this ant's parasite would be destroyed by our immune system it is impossible for a parasite to control a human mind
@MrD33tz Not outright control, but brain damage is certainly possible. If the Cordyceps fungus that is the basis for this game somehow evolved and damaged the parts of the brain that held reasoning and higher function, zombie apocalypse. The lack of immune response could be cause by certain chemical secretions some parasites can produce which trick the body into not recognizing it as a threat.
the bacteria iis based on one found in brazilian jungles, which control the ants brain, until the ant is in a suitable location (surrounded by vitamins and the like) then kills the ant, allowing the fungus to grow more and more, until it releases its spores again, so it 'captures' more ants.

I'm not worried to great deal, All it is is nature reclaiming it's own to me. In the trailer the amount of growth was incredible. and after the terrible shit we've done to the planet... I think it's a little bit of revenge.
Well i think they evolve i mean here use the host to climb then grows and spread, in the first trailer they atack, must be for the brain i dont know, damn i love this ND you rock!
If anyone doesnt know, this is a video they released for the game showing a fungus that infects ants and will slowly infect the humans by breathing it in
@detonadostunados this was actually an original teaser trailer that naughty dog did before they released the real trailer & before they were completely letting anyone know what the game actually was.they used this footage of an ant with a fungal infection because the zombies were created from a type of fungus infecting the bodies of humans. the screaming at the end was to hint that this fungus ended up creating 'something' that was extremely dangerous(w/out letting the fans know what it was yet)
The story is about a specific fungi that turns everyone into a flesh eating monster. THE END!
Wow people are fucking stupid. It's like saying, "Dead Island's about 4 people on a zombie infested island. THE END!" by watching the trailer. Stupid people are so fucking stupid.
@RedeyedGucci1 Well there is a thing called Cordyceps Fungus, its a real parasitic fungus that controls brains of its victims and makes them infect others aka creates zombies. Luckily it only spreads withing some insect species, but hey, it can evolve...
This was a "teaser" trailer. Naughty Dog is making this so high expectations for them. The debut trailer seems to have a well thought out concept. "Another zombie game" was my initial reaction,but then again, we're working with Naughty Dog here...
I remember when in Uncharted 1 Nate would catch a glimpse of an undead spaniard all the way off into the distance in an weird underground room. Up to that point in the game it had been completely realistic and I had no idea there would be these monsters. Nate was like: "What the HELL was that" and i was shitting my pants lol. Hopefully naughty dog makes this game scary like that. I remember i kept asking myself what the fuck that thing was until nate finally sees them up close when i shit my pan
If you fucking read I AM LEGEND the book, it's about vampires. You morons need to stop relying on bullshit film adaptations and read a god damn book for once.
I would like to say that there is a fungal infection in real life that affects an ant, killing it and using it's body. Much like the infection in this game.
@thewerepyreking anyone that's not a complete moron knows about that type of fungus. we don't need another pointless comment at the top...especially one that begs for "thumbs up." then again, naughty dog fans are morons...so maybe you will get up there.
@thewerepyreking There actually is but it's a parasite, not a fungus. Oddly enough it's mentioned in Resident Evil 4 in one of the text logs you pick up.
@sirhelmet but what i have read about it is that its good for you although they don't know the negative affects of it yet but their is no such thing that can infect its host and use it
@killer9000000000 good for humans, this fungus only effects insects. as for how it matters in the game, it would seem they are implying a mutation in the fungus so that it infects humans. check out /watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XuKjBIBBAL8
It also could be a guy running away and that's what the creature sounds like, and the creature is looking for him then finds him at the end. Not sure yet
OMFG stop saying it's a zombie game. It's essentially I AM LEGEND which actually would make a great game. Just because you're fighting an infected human population doesn't mean that it's zombies and you should turn away. This game looks beautiful, different, fun, and most of all, actually creepy, unlike the usual zombie bullshit.
@asiancong Fair point. But what would you call the "infected" in I Am Legend? Clearly you and I have different definitions of the word "zombie"
When I think zombie, I think mindless, slow, easy to kill NOT SCARY things from early RE games, dead island, left 4 dead etc. In this game, they're fast, they look somewhat intelligent and they're down right creepy. The only similarity between this and the above-mentioned games is survival. Except THIS brings back the HORROR in the genre.
@brainysnaeha same..i reakon it must be a CG though because other wise they would probably state "in-game footage" to show how good it will look. it will still look amazing though, look at uncharted games. :D
Type in " cordyceps " in youtube the first result...that is where this video is from it gives us information about fungus..that grows out of the ants..and other animals. Thumbs up so people know.
Russian bio weapon on US. US panicked. Government fails. Virus can't be contained. I Am Legend-esque? Story driven please. Ehh. I'm excited. Then I'm not. I want it to be a fresh expierience, not so replicated. Different take on post-apocalyptic environments! The fungus should alter the environment waaay differently than nuclear warfare( Fallout 3). Since the whole fungus thing is fresh, I hope the rest of the game reflects that (: I keep picturing the enemies as flood-like. The fat ones haha
@jdam28k Really it gave away the entire story? Like how it spread everywhere? Or what happened to the main characters? Or how it would even affect humans? Damn this trailer just answered all my questions.
Oh, I was right, so the infection is actually a form of mutated Cordyceps (a type of fungi that turns ants into "zombies") and it must have mutated to control people.
@motzlegend Actually, it controls the ants to engage in suicidal behavior, sometimes attacking others in a population to spread the highly contagious fungi. In theory, as part of a human population in a game, it would be quite similar to zombies, although potentially much more frightening considering that the fungus overtakes neural control.. meaning any bodily dis-figuration could be ignored up to a certain threshold.
@motzlegend Cordyceps controls and ant's brain, totally taking control of the ant's body, making it a fungal "zombie." Forcing them to crawl up to a high point near their colony, the Cordyceps then bursts from the ant's head and releases spores over the colony, infecting other ants and making them do the same thing. That is how it survives, they are not literal zombies, they do not eat other ants, but they are zombies in the sense an outside infection has taken control of their mind and body.
Would a fungal parasite make a human into a flesh hungry zombie? It wouldnt make sense. A parasites main goal is to breed so killing potential host would go against the natural order of things.
@junkers1337 What people are not taking into account is that the fungi is an organism, not just some bacteria, its main objective is to multiply, to create more of it's species. That can be linked with Zombies, BUT the thing no one is getting through their heads, is that the fungi physically transforms the host's body, literally using the host body to grow and mature, until it burst out.
It changes the physical appearance, this is not a zombie game, this is something else....
@junkers1337 That would be my guess, something along the lines of a severely deformed/mutated human. OR, possibly an entire new creature itself!
I know it's a fungus, be you never know, perhaps scientist were screwing around (happens a lot) with organisms and created a new strand of species that was capable of doing just that of the fungi. Either way I'm stoked to find out what it truly is going to be this Saturday. Crossing fingers for something truly horrific!
@Foxman196 i just realised, i just researched the shit out of this game and that clip is playing in super fast motion, over the course of weeks, showing fungus growing out of an ants head - wierd. I thought it was a giant ant... I can always dream.
If this is going to be a horror game, please don't give us enough firepower to level New York City like Dead Space and Doom. Make it like Amnesia: The Dark Descent where you are absolutely defenseless in every possible way apart from running and hiding from monsters that chase you :D
@crazyrazza4evar123 Heard rumors that said the only weapons you receive are ones that you pick up from dead people. This is a post-apocolyptic story after all. Your bound to get some sort of weapon.
im very excited about this game please be good and not stupid i hope it is like i am alive because i waited a lot for i am alive and it has never been maked
could it be that in this game, cordyceps affects humans, and turns them into something with spikes??? not zombies, I mean.... have you seen what cordyceps do to insects in real life???
This tells all about the game. In the video you just watched, the ant was infected by a fungus that normally only infects ants. That fungus grows on the ants brain, makes the climb to the top of a tree, and die. Once the ant is dead, the fungus releases spores that infect other ants. In the game, that's how everybody dies.

Wish everyone would stop hyping this so much.
It's just going to be a game like Dead Island and you all know it.

@Foxman196 i just realised, i just researched the shit out of this game and that clip is playing in super fast motion, over the course of weeks, showing fungus growing out of an ants head - wierd. I thought it was a giant ant... I can always dream.

If this is going to be a horror game, please don't give us enough firepower to level New York City like Dead Space and Doom. Make it like Amnesia: The Dark Descent where you are absolutely defenseless in every possible way apart from running and hiding from monsters that chase you :D

@crazyrazza4evar123 Heard rumors that said the only weapons you receive are ones that you pick up from dead people. This is a post-apocolyptic story after all. Your bound to get some sort of weapon.
