I think what makes these two videos (Good News / Bad News) have so much more impact is all the pieces in the world that you find that suddenly everything 'clicks' together. The dying moments of the soldiers who thought they were fighting for the superweapon to save them. The researcher who is crying because the Birds of Paradise genetics didn't make it to the archival in time. The log in this facility where they're talking about hearing people screaming and crying through the walls of the lobby.
Gotta think of the extremely high-risk, extremely important work of those tasked with retrieving genetic samples of animals and plants to add to the archive. Hell, the way we’re tearing this planet apart and the rate animals are going extinct, by rights we ought to have such an effort underway right now.
@@FreemanicParacusia While i cant say Ive heard of such a thing existing for the animal side of things, on the plant side the scientific community has been archiving and preserving seeds in a vault in Norway for a few decades now. As of 2021 they had reported that they had duplicates of 1,145,693 seed varieties from almost every country in the world and had room for almost triple that left over.

The technology existed in fragments already. They just needed to piece it together. If Zero Dawn had been made from scratch, humanity wouldn't have had a chance.
It's probably something we will have to learn in real life in the next decade, given how we are largely doomed with Climate Change and humans are in no position to make the proper sacrifices.
@George i mean realistically climate change happens all the time. Just look at the shift of our axial tilt in the last 6000 years, our north star went from Thuban to Pollaris. In that time do you not think that the climate shifted drastically? Also there is evidence of multiple periods of heating where the planet became warmer before shifting to an ice age. I dont think its a matter of metering farts and what not, but more a matter of preparing for what comes next. I do agree with the climate change mob on reducing or pollution footprint however, as it shows how wasteful we are at this point in time.
One of the most depressing apocalypses in any work of Fiction. An inevitable end, claiming ALL life on earth, with no hope of survival. Its way past grim, its just dark and tragic. All the billions whos lives where snuffed over the greed of one man, desperately clinging to a hope of survival that wasnt ever going to happen, slowly hearing and watching that hope crumble and fade into nothing, until they decided to commit suicide. Its just horrifically depressing.
Funnily enough, the Zero Dawn project is a near exact parallel to the Forerunners anti-flood plan in Halo. Extinction is utterly inevitable, and so it's all about a delaying Action to allow for the reseeding of life in the future
@@skytop082 In NieR though, the human race fell because of all types of supernatural shit coming through portals into Earth. With Horizon, it's just the ambition of one man making super machines that consume life to function and fight. They seem different to me, but I'd like to hear your take on it. Unless you were talking about NieR and Halo being identical (I have no idea of the lore of Halo.)
How shocking this must be for a descendent of humanity in a post apocalyptic age, to realize the truth of a once great civilization that they’re species was once part of.
In the span of 16 months, the war-ravaged remnants of the scientific community managed to figure out:- - Artificial intelligence - Terraforming - Artificial gestation - Geological-timescale data storage Pretty impressive
@@futuza True AI did exist prior to GAIA in this world. In the Data Logs you see they even had laws where AI has to be capped at a "legal level" because they did not want AI getting too independent. CYAN of project Firebreak is once such advanced AI. The scientists involved with CYAN had to doctor fake logs to keep the government from knowing exactly how advanced her AI was. GAIA and her sub functions were vast improvements of existing technology that were developed in the last few months of life on Earth.
Love the score in this cutscene. In contract to the The Bad News, there is notes of optimism and hope but also of tragedy and loss. It strikes a fine balance and when it comes to explaining the purpose of APOLLO, I have a lump in my throat. Not just for what it symbolises but for its ultimate, cruel fate at the hands of Faro. Sublime.

So, all life on earth died but thanks to the careful planning of human survivors before the end of it, started again and humans even came to be again, only this time co existing and surviving against robot wildlife? cool.
Nope, or at least, it wasn't as clean as they hoped, One of the projects leads was a trillionaire inventor who *created the hostile Faro plague that was killing the planet,* the greed of him so overwhelming that his attempts to brush away the glitch that caused his swarm to mutate and go rogue, caused the Earth's destruction. He was the one who helped finance the project to salvage the world, Horizon Zero Dawn, but during the end of it he went... insane. And just like the bastard he was, he destroyed the Apollo sub-module, deleting thousands of years of human knowledge to prevent them from finding out his causes and responsibility to the destruction of the planet. Meaning, he led the new second humanity to go down the same path of mistakes, wars, technological redevelopment etc etc. Also the whole thing about Gaia's sub-routines suddenly gaining sentience and disconnecting themselves from her (including the HADES module going rogue and deciding to wipe out the planet to try again.) also caused the machines to go apeshit and the human populations having to fight them off.
@@pokemonfanmario7694 the reason for the machines going apeshit is a bit more complicated then that. HADES is corrupting machines with the help of the FARO robots to kill of everything again, yet even the normal machines have been observed to be more agressive. The reason for this is because HEPHAUSTUS noted that humans were increasingly hunting down the machines who's puprose it is to rebuild the biosphere. which means that without those machines, life would die off again. to prevent this HEPHAUSTUS made the machines more agressive and started making more deadlier machines, to dissuade humans from hunting down more machines
@@bladewing4686 Well, yea, I didn't go into depth on the whole HEPHAESTUS situation but thanks for detailing it, improves on the situation and all yea.
@@bladewing4686 It is why I like HEPHAUSTUS as an antagonist. It is basically a parent trying to protect its children. Humanity caused HEPHAUSTUS to escalate matters and continued to ignore the numerous warnings the AI did. However that makes HEPHAUSTUS a villain is manipulating and infecting CYAN. Using "her" facility to design and build machines programmed to actively hunt down and kill Humans. HEPHAUSTUS couldn't do that with the cauldrons it hacked into following GAIA's death.
@@pokemonfanmario7694 honestly I was disappointed that when you find Sobeks body(which in itself seems incongruous to still be around where it was) that Aloy didn't open the Plant earth trinket and find one of those solid state memory cores you find out about early in the game with an Apollo Backup
How did you react when you found out what had happened to the Apollo database, when the game explained why humans born on Earth didn't have access to it?
Makes me wonder if Farro will be in the second game as an Ai or if HADES is the only antagonist. I cannot wait to fight an actual Metal Devil. Then Aloy will be known as a God killer. Won't that be bad@$$?

@@wyattchandler6359 if they reactivate a manufacturing robot, that will be the end again, only one is enough to again build an army and destroy the biosphere.
@@bence1830 well that's the point. There could be a timer where Aloy has to defeat HADES before it runs down and the first batch of Faro robots is ready.
Man Aether and Poseidon had a hell of a lot of work to do upon their activation. An entire planet worth of detoxifying the air, recreating the atmosphere and cleaning all ocean and fresh water ways. Insane. It's too bad we couldn't discuss those things with them. The other subfunctions had something to work with but those two had to start from literal scratch to order the machines needed and get to work. No wonder it took a thousand years.
Minerva was critical, without it the Faro plague would still ravage the planet. The deactivation codes the subfunction made allowed other functions to start their work.
@@lochness5524 As far as I understand, the biosphere was not up to par in those previous incarnations and thus Hades reset them for one reason or another. Is this not correct?
@@mspionage1743 there were at least 3 failed biospheres in the 22nd century, in the years 2154, 2161, and 2168. After the last one, Gaia was able to successfully restore the biosphere to the point that the ancestral population to all North American tribes would be released from mother mountains cradle facility by 2326. Which means that it ultimately took about 3 centuries approximately for Gaia to get things sorted
All the game thinking that Mother Nature was a name some tribals put to something they didn't understant. It turned out to be really a mother's nature after all.
Gotta imagine how egotistical the Faro guy is. He not only created the very thing thay ends the world, but he also destroys a program that is designed to help future generations from making the same mistake just so he isnt the "bad guy".
Not really defending Ted Faro, but I think he genuinely believed destroying Apollo would save future humanity, and wasn't merely trying to cover up his legacy of destroying the Earth. He got a little crazy at the end and seemed to think that the real enemy was knowledge.
The one thing that breaks the immersion of this scene is thinking of the team of graphic designers that had to put together the holo-powerpoint for her presentation.
Honestly, I don't mind that, since the purpose of this presentation is after all to persuade the viewer to join Project Zero Dawn in a very tight timeframe. They would WANT to put together an effective presentation with easy-to-understand graphics and animations. Whether they would succeed is a different matter. But you could at least see this approach being more persuasive than, say, the 2,500-page white paper that would almost certainly be the ACTUAL means they would try to persuade people to join the project.
@@NiceTryLaoChe oh absolutely, but the logistical reality was this was sent to some design/animation firm to do all the hologram bullshit who are now in on the top level secret government plan for zero dawn.
they would have been given a space in the sanctuary city that all workers on zero dawn got to live out the rest of their lives in, but after walking into the facility they had to join, die, or sit in prison and then die
@@ionceateapinecone I am sure they got designers in-house. Those designers would later work on interfaces of all facilities including Apollo education terminals for kids in the future.
have some years under your belt and seeing thousands of movies, watching hundrets of series, reading hundrets of book and playing a lot games, leads to something, that can dampen the enjoyment of all of these.. its: understanding the recipe of storywriting. at some point, youve reached the room with the 20 file cabinets and realize, that all the plot points there can be in a story, are in these 100 drawers and you can easylie deduct, which drawer the writer has choosen. this time, its the drawer with "grey goo scenario" written on it. and you will se that story repeated in a few years, in another game, book or movie. its like with cooking. theres a time, where you find a lot of new taste that you never tasted before, but after years and years, youre so good at cooking yourself, that your limited by the ingrediants that are there to use, that you only suprise others, younger eaters with the exotic taste. moments like these make we wish that i could delete memories and experiences to experience some storys, for the first time, rather then expierence something, that you seen several times in slightly different forms before
Imagine if in the sequel Aloy discovers a working wi-fi signal and a PC with 2TB of porn, then reads about electricity and engineering and ends up resurrecting the electronics industry. The Nora tribe will be sitting in their little wooden cabins wearing animal skins and playing Playstation 87 games in 12K on their hologram displays.
Its remarkable how everyone fought knowing they will all eventually die anyways but fight for a chance for life to live on a thousand years in the future and help people they will never know live their lives. I mean idk if I would fight for that honesly. May seem selfish but knowing that im fighting only to die a "honorable" death instead of wasting away and dying anyways would be too much for me. May as well end my life then and there. But alone of course to not demoralize others who still have hope. I imagine their hopes would be shattered if they were to witness me spliting my own head into unrecognizable pieces in front of their eyes.
you now i think about it clearly. Ted Faro most likely deleted Apollo so no one would ever figure out or find out that everything that happened was his fault. Thats what it sounded like to me when i was playing the game. he didnt dare to hurt Elizabet sice she was his olnly hop to fix everything. and when he could he killed the alphas who i am petty sure knew or figured out it was him to begin with
He did it to stop there from being a new humanity with the same mistakes, basically stopped there being another him by literally being him and taking it to the next level
@@thehistoryfreak13 he killed all the alphas so that they couldnt stop apollo from being destroyed, ig ur point may possibly be true. I'd certainly be embarrassed if I destroyed Earth
I'm so hyped about the game that I've already assumed I'll be disappointed by it. My expectations are just too damn high. HZD is arguably my favorite video game of all time by some metrics, it's downright unfair to hope the sequel to be as good. But the hope is there nonetheless...
You know what's interesting about all this? At the end of it all, Faro is not a villain (at least initially). He's not evil, he didn't want to destroy the world on purpose. Instead, he destroyed it on accident. Which I think makes for a really interesting story. There was technically no evil villain, no mastermind behind the demise of the old humanity. They died because of a glitch, a glitch that was probably caused by Faro but a glitch nonetheless, an accident. Not out of malicious intent or desire. And I don't think that's something we see a lot in stories.
I really, really feel like she should have described Hades and what its purpose was in Gaia, but doing that would have just obviously spoiled the entire plot....
@@Wasserkaktus Why would they? This was the presentation meant for people who haven't decided if they'd help or not yet. Stands to reason that they'll only divulge that info to people who have decided to help with the project.
@@gracecalis5421 Why omit HADES specifically though: GAIA gives a description of literally every function except HADES. Why leave HADES out, other than the fact doing so would have just been a huge plot spoiler for the player..
@@Wasserkaktus Probably because HADES is not a necessary function to fully restore the earth? It's meant as nothing more than a failsafe; a redundancy for if the other functions fail. Optimally, HADES would not need to be activated at all, and in the end it wasn't. Makes sense since Apollo is meant to be the last phase of the process, and they'd probably only introduce that HADES exists to reset once they accept the program. It makes sense, I wouldn't want to further demoralise an already hopeless and depressed group of candidates by introducing the notion that these functions could possibly NOT work as intended, which is why they'd wait until they're in the project before delving deeper into its intricacies.
I’m a little stupid so I just wanna ask, why didn’t they just use Minerva to shut down the Faro robots and that’s it? Was it because the biosphere was too far gone?
This is explained in another video (The Bad News), but basically they only had about 16 months before the extinction of all life, and it would take Minerva 60 years to hack into the Faro robots and deactivate them. Without Zero Dawn, the robots would have been stopped eventually, but there'd be nothing left.
humanity would need at least 50 years to encode the algorithm to shut the faro robots down by themselves . Time that they didn't have from Zero Day. right now , at that moment they only had that short amount of time to build, design and encode GAIA and her subordinate functions, including Minerva, Hades , Haphaestus. they had to make a choice. the biosphere is ravaged. no more food. no more healthy air or soil. So they had to create GAIA , and leave it in the AI's hands to purge the faro plague.
Actually the robots killed the biosphere in 16 months, causing life extintion, and then waited in pause until there was again something to alive to eat. Minerva took 60 years to shut down the Faro robots, so that's when GAIA started to terraform again and gave nature and humanity a second chance.
I assume he was the one that corrupted Hades and sent the signal/virus using his Omega level access, or at least his account was the one utilized to do that. We'll hopefully get to find out though, since that's one of the biggest mysteries left is who sent the signal.
@@futuza well had to be him I would say. He did poison the remaining scientists and bubbled about how humanity should start fresh to avoid creating another situation like Faro Swarm. He could go crazy from guilt etc ...
man something tells me he cloned himself or has his mind hooked up to a automated machine or something. Some part of him is still around. Not the original guy but deff parts of him that are playing a big part. Lore says he waited out his time after killing the Alphas in his own personal bunker all alone. So god knows what he did down there within that time unless they really write him off as killing himself or going crazy to the point of suicide.
I feel dumb. The symbol for Apollo is the shape of Alloy's Focus. Or, all Focuses, I guess. Is that the correct plural? Whatever. Basically Ted didn't delete all of Apollo like he thought, then, if it still has access to preset information of a general nature and has the capability to teach like it taught Alloy.
GAIA needed another function to facilitate expansion to terraform new planets. There should be a contingency in case of solar system annihilation if such technology would exist. Planets are so far away I would imagine that seeding earth DNA and cloning technology seems to only way possible to spread.
Subfunction : Nyx (Goddess of night and stars) or Hermes (God of travel) ? Or maybe Prometheus (Titan who create the humans to give them the fire of knowledge) ?
@@gdsfgsdgsdfg I don't really like the Goddess Hera...she pass her time killing Zeus childrens. I know she suffer her Horribles Husband but...it's a little too far.

@@tonya3144 This is not her first attempt. ---> SPOILER OF FORBIDDEN WEST It's her fourth time, Hades has extinguit life three times already before he was turn self aware, the current biosphere is the fifth version.
@@tonya3144 The game doesn't explain why exacly she failed three times (we can only assume that something went wrong each time betwen seven years apart each other when GAIA attempt to implant the terraforming system), the proff in-game it's in a cinematic dialogue in the game sequel (Horizon Forbidden West), it's impossible to miss it or deny it and there is no misinterpretations on that fact.

So they were able to build a complex AI with the necessary equipment to re-terroform earth back into a green planet. After thosands of years. But hey can't buuld a Spaceship to take them to another planet?
They actually try to do both, as a backup plan they make a colony ship, but the ship suffers a catastrophic failure and is destroyed. (Presumably because its attacked by the FARO plague robots before it can get to safety.)
I still have no clue why they couldn't just make an enclosed biosphere deep in the earth. It wouldn't be much but you could at least have a sustained human presence on earth while the biosphere generates. All we get is the cancelled project of the Lighthouse keepers where the alphas would continue on through clones they educated themselves. Although Elizabeth was most likely right to veto it with the other Alphas.. the idea of Travis Tate raising a clone of himself isn't worth the risk lol
Not sure, perhaps due to short timeframe? There were many facilities, now that you mentioned it, around the globe but all of them failed to sustain. IDK, guess spending a lifetime between concrete and steel takes its toll on the psyche.
I don't remember if it was mentioned in a counselor log or presentation but they did bring up that they had to stress to potential ZD workers that ideas such as this or underwater society had been considered and decided to not be viable options.

no time and was basically caught off guard with no warning that the swarm was unstoppable. They only had a year and some change to figure it out and Elizabeth figured out a solution and ONLY solution that would work within a few days.
Because the Faro Robots are immune to hacking and plus they will hack any machinery that was automated to fight against them so if you were able to make robots fight them they will hack those robots and you will be giving them more useful troops to fight with them.
I guess I don't understand one thing. The technology obviously is more advanced than we have now. Why seal themselves up and allow themselves to die out and leave everything to automated systems and AI? It would have been possible to send a small colony to the surface of the Moon or Mars to monitor the project and maintain control over the years to control and guide the terraforming project, along with a backup seed stock. A lunar colony could be made self sustaining if it were small enough, with nuclear and solar power, water from underneath the Moon's surface providing moisture and oxygen, and hydroponic farms or even greenhouses using transplanted soil from Earth taken before the biosphere was destroyed. Why did no one think of this? It's true it couldn't maintain itself indefinitely, but the colony would have only had to survive 50-60 years until the Faro plague ended. After that they could move back to Earth, live in the underground facilities, and monitor the process of reseeding life.
You didnt played the Game, correct? They had a Plan B. A Colony-Ship, with a complete Copy of the full GAIA-System. .....that Ship exploded soon after the Mission start.
If I remember correctly I think they did have a backup plan to send a colony out into space but I think the launch failed and burned up before it could get out of the earths atmosphere. I may be wrong but I think I vaguely remember a tossed out lore bit or data point that said that.
He addresses that in the clip before this one called "the bad news". I believe his words were - "the complete destruction of the biosphere is not the kind of event you can wait out in a bunker or on a lunar base. There will be no Earth left to reclaim, just a barren rock with millions of robots hibernating, waiting for something to eat." They do still to have the people that work on Zero Dawn sealed into bunkers to monitor the process for the rest of their lifetimes and there is another colony called Elysium that's just another bunker essentially for all the richest and most powerful. Their biggest problem is time - they only have 16 months before the robots wipe out everything. In order to complete Zero Dawn in time they need just about everyone else fighting to the bitter end just to give them a chance. Setting up additional contingencies would take resources away from that so they're all out. Then they lie to everyone and claim that Zero Dawn is a superweapons program that will stop the robots for good while desperately trying to complete the project before they're all dead.

Not exactly. Noah's ark maintained continuity, with survivors of the flood siring a new generation after it subsided. In this, biological and cultural continuity are fully severed. Everyone and everything died. This was a new genesis, life from lifelessness.
The biosphere was already dying, the swarm grew too large for nukes to thoroughly Delete the Swarm with any meaningful difference (just how the planet is burned), the swarm continued exponentially growing, the swarm's shutdown codes would require 50+ years of brute force hacking, and the extrasolar counterpart plan suffered a catastrophic reactor failure. At this point, there was no good option. Only the least terrible. To build a means of rebirth.

Great concept for a game
Not just zombies this vampires that
It evokes the same premise as the Forerunners from Halo; a super-advanced humanity that sacrificed their civilization to save all life.
In the span of 16 months, the war-ravaged remnants of the scientific community managed to figure out:-
- Artificial intelligence
- Terraforming
- Artificial gestation
- Geological-timescale data storage
Pretty impressive
Artificial intelligence had already been achieved. Just nowhere near as sophisticated as Gaia.
@@QuayNemSorr the sophistication is debatable, but the scale of the AI's goal... that is what is incomprehensibly grander.
The data logs you find in the world show that all of these things existed prior, but none of them were systemically linked together like this.
@@Wasserkaktus True AI is the one tech that didn't really exist yet. The closest you had were the metal devils tactical learning abilities.
@@futuza True AI did exist prior to GAIA in this world. In the Data Logs you see they even had laws where AI has to be capped at a "legal level" because they did not want AI getting too independent. CYAN of project Firebreak is once such advanced AI. The scientists involved with CYAN had to doctor fake logs to keep the government from knowing exactly how advanced her AI was.
GAIA and her sub functions were vast improvements of existing technology that were developed in the last few months of life on Earth.

Love the score in this cutscene. In contract to the The Bad News, there is notes of optimism and hope but also of tragedy and loss. It strikes a fine balance and when it comes to explaining the purpose of APOLLO, I have a lump in my throat. Not just for what it symbolises but for its ultimate, cruel fate at the hands of Faro. Sublime.

Nope, or at least, it wasn't as clean as they hoped,
One of the projects leads was a trillionaire inventor who *created the hostile Faro plague that was killing the planet,* the greed of him so overwhelming that his attempts to brush away the glitch that caused his swarm to mutate and go rogue, caused the Earth's destruction. He was the one who helped finance the project to salvage the world, Horizon Zero Dawn, but during the end of it he went... insane.
And just like the bastard he was, he destroyed the Apollo sub-module, deleting thousands of years of human knowledge to prevent them from finding out his causes and responsibility to the destruction of the planet. Meaning, he led the new second humanity to go down the same path of mistakes, wars, technological redevelopment etc etc.
Also the whole thing about Gaia's sub-routines suddenly gaining sentience and disconnecting themselves from her (including the HADES module going rogue and deciding to wipe out the planet to try again.) also caused the machines to go apeshit and the human populations having to fight them off.
@@pokemonfanmario7694 the reason for the machines going apeshit is a bit more complicated then that. HADES is corrupting machines with the help of the FARO robots to kill of everything again, yet even the normal machines have been observed to be more agressive. The reason for this is because HEPHAUSTUS noted that humans were increasingly hunting down the machines who's puprose it is to rebuild the biosphere. which means that without those machines, life would die off again. to prevent this HEPHAUSTUS made the machines more agressive and started making more deadlier machines, to dissuade humans from hunting down more machines
@@bladewing4686 Well, yea, I didn't go into depth on the whole HEPHAESTUS situation but thanks for detailing it, improves on the situation and all yea.
@@bladewing4686 It is why I like HEPHAUSTUS as an antagonist. It is basically a parent trying to protect its children. Humanity caused HEPHAUSTUS to escalate matters and continued to ignore the numerous warnings the AI did. However that makes HEPHAUSTUS a villain is manipulating and infecting CYAN. Using "her" facility to design and build machines programmed to actively hunt down and kill Humans. HEPHAUSTUS couldn't do that with the cauldrons it hacked into following GAIA's death.
@@pokemonfanmario7694 honestly I was disappointed that when you find Sobeks body(which in itself seems incongruous to still be around where it was) that Aloy didn't open the Plant earth trinket and find one of those solid state memory cores you find out about early in the game with an Apollo Backup
The plot of this game is so so so so good! I didn't expect this when I played it the first time. How the humanity ended got me very emotional.
How did you react when you found out what had happened to the Apollo database, when the game explained why humans born on Earth didn't have access to it?

Artemis and Demeter also had to work from scratch. *all* life down to microorganisms and zooplankton got consumed by the Faro Plauge.
Minerva was critical, without it the Faro plague would still ravage the planet. The deactivation codes the subfunction made allowed other functions to start their work.

@@lochness5524 As far as I understand, the biosphere was not up to par in those previous incarnations and thus Hades reset them for one reason or another. Is this not correct?

Which means that it ultimately took about 3 centuries approximately for Gaia to get things sorted

The one thing that breaks the immersion of this scene is thinking of the team of graphic designers that had to put together the holo-powerpoint for her presentation.
Honestly, I don't mind that, since the purpose of this presentation is after all to persuade the viewer to join Project Zero Dawn in a very tight timeframe. They would WANT to put together an effective presentation with easy-to-understand graphics and animations.
Whether they would succeed is a different matter. But you could at least see this approach being more persuasive than, say, the 2,500-page white paper that would almost certainly be the ACTUAL means they would try to persuade people to join the project.

The sequel is here
Are you liking it?
Sucks that I couldn't get into the gameplay to enjoy the story how it was meant to be told, but it is what it is
You know what's interesting about all this? At the end of it all, Faro is not a villain (at least initially). He's not evil, he didn't want to destroy the world on purpose. Instead, he destroyed it on accident. Which I think makes for a really interesting story. There was technically no evil villain, no mastermind behind the demise of the old humanity. They died because of a glitch, a glitch that was probably caused by Faro but a glitch nonetheless, an accident. Not out of malicious intent or desire. And I don't think that's something we see a lot in stories.

@@gracecalis5421 Why omit HADES specifically though: GAIA gives a description of literally every function except HADES. Why leave HADES out, other than the fact doing so would have just been a huge plot spoiler for the player..
@@Wasserkaktus Probably because HADES is not a necessary function to fully restore the earth? It's meant as nothing more than a failsafe; a redundancy for if the other functions fail. Optimally, HADES would not need to be activated at all, and in the end it wasn't. Makes sense since Apollo is meant to be the last phase of the process, and they'd probably only introduce that HADES exists to reset once they accept the program. It makes sense, I wouldn't want to further demoralise an already hopeless and depressed group of candidates by introducing the notion that these functions could possibly NOT work as intended, which is why they'd wait until they're in the project before delving deeper into its intricacies.
I’m a little stupid so I just wanna ask, why didn’t they just use Minerva to shut down the Faro robots and that’s it? Was it because the biosphere was too far gone?
This is explained in another video (The Bad News), but basically they only had about 16 months before the extinction of all life, and it would take Minerva 60 years to hack into the Faro robots and deactivate them. Without Zero Dawn, the robots would have been stopped eventually, but there'd be nothing left.
@@marcuscnelson oooh! Thank you! ❤️
humanity would need at least 50 years to encode the algorithm to shut the faro robots down by themselves . Time that they didn't have from Zero Day.
right now , at that moment they only had that short amount of time to build, design and encode GAIA and her subordinate functions, including Minerva, Hades , Haphaestus.
they had to make a choice.
the biosphere is ravaged. no more food. no more healthy air or soil.
So they had to create GAIA , and leave it in the AI's hands to purge the faro plague.
Actually the robots killed the biosphere in 16 months, causing life extintion, and then waited in pause until there was again something to alive to eat. Minerva took 60 years to shut down the Faro robots, so that's when GAIA started to terraform again and gave nature and humanity a second chance.
Pity Ted Faro fucked it all up ... hope we'll see what happened to him in Forbidden West.
I assume he was the one that corrupted Hades and sent the signal/virus using his Omega level access, or at least his account was the one utilized to do that. We'll hopefully get to find out though, since that's one of the biggest mysteries left is who sent the signal.
@@futuza well had to be him I would say. He did poison the remaining scientists and bubbled about how humanity should start fresh to avoid creating another situation like Faro Swarm. He could go crazy from guilt etc ...
man something tells me he cloned himself or has his mind hooked up to a automated machine or something. Some part of him is still around. Not the original guy but deff parts of him that are playing a big part. Lore says he waited out his time after killing the Alphas in his own personal bunker all alone. So god knows what he did down there within that time unless they really write him off as killing himself or going crazy to the point of suicide.
@@mr4kgamer might be ... pity I'll have to wait for a PC version of Forbidden West.
I feel dumb. The symbol for Apollo is the shape of Alloy's Focus. Or, all Focuses, I guess. Is that the correct plural? Whatever.

What other AI?
no time and was basically caught off guard with no warning that the swarm was unstoppable. They only had a year and some change to figure it out and Elizabeth figured out a solution and ONLY solution that would work within a few days.
Because the Faro Robots are immune to hacking and plus they will hack any machinery that was automated to fight against them so if you were able to make robots fight them they will hack those robots and you will be giving them more useful troops to fight with them.
If Elisabet Sobek was so smart, why is she dead?
Because she is human. And humans don’t live forever
because she sacrificed herself for the team so that they could be safe in the bunker. but lemme guess, you definitely didn't play the game
I guess I don't understand one thing. The technology obviously is more advanced than we have now. Why seal themselves up and allow themselves to die out and leave everything to automated systems and AI? It would have been possible to send a small colony to the surface of the Moon or Mars to monitor the project and maintain control over the years to control and guide the terraforming project, along with a backup seed stock. A lunar colony could be made self sustaining if it were small enough, with nuclear and solar power, water from underneath the Moon's surface providing moisture and oxygen, and hydroponic farms or even greenhouses using transplanted soil from Earth taken before the biosphere was destroyed. Why did no one think of this? It's true it couldn't maintain itself indefinitely, but the colony would have only had to survive 50-60 years until the Faro plague ended. After that they could move back to Earth, live in the underground facilities, and monitor the process of reseeding life.
You didnt played the Game, correct?
They had a Plan B. A Colony-Ship, with a complete Copy of the full GAIA-System.
.....that Ship exploded soon after the Mission start.
If I remember correctly I think they did have a backup plan to send a colony out into space but I think the launch failed and burned up before it could get out of the earths atmosphere. I may be wrong but I think I vaguely remember a tossed out lore bit or data point that said that.
@@smaragdwolf1 Right, but it was headed out-system. I was pointing out a colony on the lunar surface would have been much easier by comparison.
He addresses that in the clip before this one called "the bad news". I believe his words were - "the complete destruction of the biosphere is not the kind of event you can wait out in a bunker or on a lunar base. There will be no Earth left to reclaim, just a barren rock with millions of robots hibernating, waiting for something to eat."
They do still to have the people that work on Zero Dawn sealed into bunkers to monitor the process for the rest of their lifetimes and there is another colony called Elysium that's just another bunker essentially for all the richest and most powerful. Their biggest problem is time - they only have 16 months before the robots wipe out everything. In order to complete Zero Dawn in time they need just about everyone else fighting to the bitter end just to give them a chance. Setting up additional contingencies would take resources away from that so they're all out.
Then they lie to everyone and claim that Zero Dawn is a superweapons program that will stop the robots for good while desperately trying to complete the project before they're all dead.

The biosphere was already dying, the swarm grew too large for nukes to thoroughly Delete the Swarm with any meaningful difference (just how the planet is burned), the swarm continued exponentially growing, the swarm's shutdown codes would require 50+ years of brute force hacking, and the extrasolar counterpart plan suffered a catastrophic reactor failure. At this point, there was no good option. Only the least terrible. To build a means of rebirth.
An ai that makes planets livable I guess
И конечно же Гейя черная... как же эти толерасты задрали
? shut your mouth. I guess they made her black because she is mother nature ai and the first homo sapiens were also black and came from Africa so what's your problem? 🗿
Face aimations kinda suk
How did this game not get hit with the same hate as The Last of Us 2? Pretty woke.
TLOU 2 sucks for reasons that have nothing to do with being woke.
You see 2 woman and start calling it woke or what
