The insect world is SO underrated it's a whole other planet and way of life at those sizes and scales, the immersement potential is off the charts, I'm so happy to see it finally be appreciated in a game!
@@songsthatarecatchy I know! We have so many games about exploring space and the universe but we literally less about the surface of our deep oceans, it's crazy the stuff you could do
I think it has the potential to be big yes, after doing some research their steam page emphasises the fact that you can progressively grow your colony and make "unusual" allies which is weirdly accurate to how some ants go. A buy for me if it is open world, crossing fingers.
I remember playing Sim Ant way back when. To this day people still call it one of the most boring games of all time, but my 8-year-old self managed to have fun with it. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to this.
There's no way Sim Ant is one of the most boring games of all time. You establish supply chains, muster your army to take down threats, and destroy the enemy colony. It's just an RTS game.
Absurd. Anyone who says that must have never bred endless soldier ants to defeat the Red Menace or otherwise battle the various enemies that required building small battalions of ants.
This looks fantastic, and I look forward to seeing more about it over the coming months! In the meantime, I highly recommend Empires of the Undergrowth to fill all of your ant-based gaming needs: it's a really charming and surprisingly educational ant-based RTS game. Definitely worth playing.
@@Mwstmrlnd some games are made to live in as long as you want, but you're right this is not one of them. makes me wonder why someone would want to live in an ant simulator for extended periods of time.
oh man, my friend and I were just reminiscing about playing Sim Ant when we were kids and were talking about how cool a modern version of that would be and then I see this trailer
You wouldn't think a video game about ants would be so captivating, even though we already have all these documentaries (that you lose yourself in).. great job
Bro, even if it was just a game about walking around the scene, I would love to see it, the idea of you seeing how an ant sees the world is really cool, imagine walking around a city.
As a Frenchman 🇫🇷 i must say that i am really proud of what French Developers are doing in the Gaming Industry, most of the time with small budgets : Vampyr , Vampire Masquerade Swansong , Greedfall , A Plague Tale Innocence / Requiem , Assassin's Creed Mirage, Stray , and this Ant Game ... I understand those projects might not be for everyone, please a lot of Gamers but, i sincerely do respect the fact that each of those games has its own identity ❤
Hasn’t Ubisoft stopped being French and more American nowadays (mirage didn’t have a small budget and isn’t a small studio either with many building projects pretty much everywhere on earth)
I stopped playing games, i dont consider myself a gamer anymore. But THIS looks so refreshing something different oh man can't wait to see and hear more about it
i remember seeing some update about blender or something else that was going to make it WAY easier to generate and handle a massive amount of objects at once but I never even thought about a game like this that's so cool
Great way to learn for the younger generation. Games are incredibly accesible and could retain our attention spans longer than the classroom is able, for some of course. They're onto something with this.
@@trffinal1541Nah, xbox has terrible latency & load times, graphics are blunt and sketchy. Not to mention xbox has terrible security for its users. Go meat ride Microsoft some more.
@@GamerScotty yeah in your dreams just a lie from a pony as always go back and play your remaster and remake that the only games you have on your ps5 you do not even have a internet browsers on your ps5 we are in 2024 lol
The final boss is gonna be some guy with molten aluminum about to pour it in the ant hill

It's the last frontier.
@@songsthatarecatchy I know! We have so many games about exploring space and the universe but we literally less about the surface of our deep oceans, it's crazy the stuff you could do
Check out Grounded and Smalland if you haven't. Really fun games.
Loving these commz bros
@@tybrosion i want a Grounded 2 with this graphic engine.
I've always imagined how awesome it would be to have a game where you play as an ant, exploring the tunnels and fighting other bugs in an ant army
Yo literally looks fun asf
I guess you could play hollow knight
It's been a mobile game for like 3 years now.
A bugs life and Antz exist
Empires of The Undergrowth is too underrated
I don't know why but I want to play this game
Probably cuz you used to watch ants and insects as a kid like me and others could be wrong
Agreed. Same here. It looks entertaining and informative at the same time.
@@darrendyson8347 Yes Actually I Loved Small Insect 😆

It’s like playing the movie Antz
This is what gaming should be, getting us to experience the wonders of our world what otherwise we never could

and i bet u won't pay 70 bucks for this game
Bien dicho
I'm blown away by how much I'm actually interested in this on graphics alone!
It looks great, if this is what the ps5 version looks like.. imagine what a 4090 can do! I’m so gonna buy this game.
@@ErwinPPP wait for the release :D another UE5 game, so I guess it will be 720p before upcale and will not maintain 60fps
"Work in progress"
This looks like one of those games that will look pretty but is ultimately a really repetitive and shallow experience. Like heavenly blade, or Knack
It looks like it could be a great VR game.
I'm curious how fun the gameplay will be but I'm absolutely astounded at how beautiful it looks.. I really enjoyed Stray on ps5.
1994: in 30 years we will have flying cars
2024: here. Now you can be an ant
Are saying this game is bad?
why would you ever want to play as a freakin ant..... @@godzilla6428
@@godzilla6428 Literally nobody said that except you. Hahaha ant go brrrrr

Flying cars (For mass public use, at least) are unfeasibly dangerous. We're better off with ant video games.
Didn't expect AntsCanada to went ahead and motion capture every ants of his for this game.
LOL

And what happens NEXT... will amaze you!
I was thinking the same. He will be on this game for sure.
This is exactly what I thought
I’ve been waiting all my life for something like this

pikmin exists...
@@yuhyuh6429 I hate those things…
@@yuhyuh6429 Pikmin is awesome but it's not the same. I want all our insect on insect war!!!!!

Too young to have played A Bug’s Life?
@@sighfly2928 who cares if he was too young, he still got to play some amazing ant games
HOPEFULLY, this game sells well cause it looks very neat.
Do you think it would do better than Pikmin 4 the fantasy version??
Would be sweet if they added a side thing that lets you play as a tarantula.

they need to ask him for voice acting but i dont know if this game has any voice lines tho?
If you're an ant going into another insects territory, you better be ready for a fight.

An ant life....
I dig it it's a realistic take on Pikmin 4. I wonder which one will be better??

Flik!!
Ant's orienting in world mostly by smell, not only by view, maybe you need to implement some interface for that?
The lil' jumping spider is so adorable 💙💙

😅
Why?
@@Viilap A lot of people have arachniphobia I guess.
@@BradleyMcCloudscrew them
The thumbnail really attracts people to watch this video.

I didn't know I needed an Ant simulator till I saw this video
Empires of the undergrowth is pretty amazing! Have a look at it
I have been wanting a game like this for years. THANK YOU
This game looks like my worst nightmare. Why do I still want to play it?
Its mixed feeling
imagine the haptics if they recreate the sensation of a million tiny little ants crawling
That Bugs me as well.
Because you are want to overcome your weaknesses.

Anyone play Sim Ant back in the 90s? This gives me those vibes, and I'm all here for it!
Yep!
Yes!
Sim ant was a great game.
lol yeppppp
I still play it from time to time! As soon as I saw this it reminded me of SimAnt.

The sound design is incredible!!
This is what goes on in the background of MGS3 remake 🗿
haha! :D
"My name is Lucas.."
I would have never thought this would make a compelling game.. now seeing it I can’t wait to jump in and play

just a box of live ants with a disk in the middle

I've been hoping for a game like this. The more of it, the better.
We're at a point at gaming that this will probably be the best launch of the year
Wow the graphics today has gotten so crazy real looking. This looks like a lot of fun.
Can't believe they made a whole game based on Gorillaz 2010 song "Empire Ants"
They've been making games based on "Kids With Guns" for years.

nothing new from the French, i mean you guys created the term av"ANT" garde.
Assasins creed mirage? Small budget? Dude you must be joking
I'm pretty sure halo was made in France as well
I mean...Ubisoft is french. So thanks for that lol /s :)
A Plague Tale was definitely great tho
Hasn’t Ubisoft stopped being French and more American nowadays (mirage didn’t have a small budget and isn’t a small studio either with many building projects pretty much everywhere on earth)
This remind me that game where you play as a Spider and Scorpion. I loved it so much, im glad there is a ant version now
This reminds me of Sim Ant for Super Nintendo, but a modern day 3D version re-envisioned, looks epic.
Não sabia que precisava de um game de formiga ultra realista, até ver um game de formiga ultra realista!!
Freshest game ive seen in a while 💯
This looks alot like empires of the undergrowth on steam, awesome game
What a beautiful looking game and cool concept!
I think this game could be also very great for people with fear of insects. Getting to know them better and developing some sense could really help!
The strand genre is getting bigger
People with arachnophobia 😵😵
Myrmecophobia is a fear of ants and other insects.
Arachnophobia just spiders and other arachnids.
They should just get over it 😏
When the game is about bugs 😮
@@GK_ImagimotionYeah, but the thumbnail is a cute jumping spider. 😅
R-TRUTH 😂

Very hyped.
Empire of the Ants, the ultimate MMO RPG!!!!
♫ Little memories, marching on
Your little feet....♫
This game will give a different perspective on nature, even in just a couple of square meters, there is so much to see, i love it!
If you thought Elden Ring was hard, just wait til you get to the Child with Magnifying Glass boss.
where the grasshoppers and the make shift bird at?
As a guy who keeps ants and plays command and conquer, this is going to be amazing!
If "Empire Ants" by Gorillaz isn't on this soundtrack they missed a golden opportunity.
Fascinating that this is apparently a RTS game 🤔 interesting
I stopped playing games, i dont consider myself a gamer anymore. But THIS looks so refreshing something different oh man can't wait to see and hear more about it

One time I ate so many mushrooms I ended up playing this game in real life
I was on the same colony
Same. Once I took 4g and I caught the heads with the queen ant
Anyone remember Sim Ant? Great game. I hope this game takes some of the best aspects from it.
like the ants?
Yes! Finally! A game that will push my PS5 hardware limits to its knees! I been waiting for this day
What the actual F, this looks insane. Already better than EA or Activision trash
I mean that's not saying much
I hope there are some interesting skins to customize your ants with. Hot rod patterns would be sweet!
Call me crazy but this looks fresh and amazing. The graphics are so beautiful.

wonderful modelling and lighting I am def gonna play this.
It’s tempting, and I want to play now
Not one ant sleeps until we get every scrap of food on this island! 😆
I would like this game to include the cordyceps fungus that functions as a constant danger for the ants or for the player.
