No one one knows. It's not even known if it's a first or third party game.

New PS3 exclusive to be announced next week.

The Spike TV Video Game Awards are just a week away, but the news is already starting to flow from the show. The folks behind the broadcast have been promoting the fact that a PlayStation 3 exclusive would debut there, and today, a teaser trailer for that game -- The Last of Us -- has been posted.

The Last of Us

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRozrxY4lYM

Hopefully its something good.

EDIT - Whoopsy :P delete mr admin.

Sony did advertise a survival horror game during one of their Move video reels, nothing was ever said about it afterwards. It could very well be that, it was called "Until Dawn".

However I hope it's not, that game was more than likely Move only, which is something that I'm highly against. Move features or the option to play with the Move are all well and good, but not Move only.

No one will see it coming.

Mindblowing.

Will be a proper trailer revealed at the VGAs, not a teaser.

Trailer will be all in-game footage.

Amazing developer.

If only, but i don't think the world would be able to take the torrent of abuse from the PC community if Half-Life 3 was to be a PS3 exclusive! Would be funny though...

Any idea when we'll have the trailer here?

Last time I heard this much marketing hyperbole was when microsoft were building up to the announcement of Pac Man CE :rolleyes:

Unless of course it's the second coming of the antichrist and Sony are releasing a sequel to the god awful Legend of Dragoon.

Website has been updated.

Ant video has been extended (It's not just an ant anymore )

Also links to these images (Images are thought to be in-game):

http://www.lastofus.com/wallpapers/TLOU_image_2.jpg

http://www.lastofus.com/wallpapers/TLOU_image_1.jpg

(Well the second link isn't actually provided, but if you change the "2" in the first link to a "1".. Well there ya go!)

Looks like some sort of zombie game tbh

For some reason i can't edit the OP, is there some sort of time limit on it that i wasn't aware of?

Dunno man, if it was a serious zombie game and not a complete zombie bash like LFD or Dead Island, i might be able to go with it..

Have Dead Island here but haven't played it yet,just arrived today. Think nearly every permutation of zombie game has been well covered at this stage. Unless it's a more focused, survival based one or something, akin to Silent Hill or the like. Maybe then. It'll take something special for me to muster up and anticipation or interest in a zombie game (or film for that matter)

I can confirm from a very reliable source* that this game is actually a reboot of the ZX Spectrums classic Ant Attack.

With the headline being about the "dead or infected" and the images of ants (ants can get parasites that make them do crazy things) it certainly seems that way.

I for one would love another zombie game. Dead Island was one of my favourite games this year and would welcome another one, especially a survival horror type, not just run and gunning. Raging I traded Dead Island. Stupid empty wallet!

Well the second picture mentions infected, so it will be a zombie game but not with zombies. Ants infect people with madness. So, zombie-esqe but not zombies.

I did find it funny when people started looking at the crowbar shaped highlighting in the G of the VGA logo. Thankfully that's just their logo but jesus, could you imagine the nerd rage if HL3 was a PS3 console exclusive? :pac:

Well, it depends, if they're not zombie-like (which is very wide these days, fast, intelligent, etc) then i wouldn't class them as zombies. If they look and act like humans, but are more violent and untrusting then i think it might be different. As long as they act like humans until they see you i'm all for it.

Also, that article included the person saying that you might have to kill children. Now, while i believe that it would be shocking, i can't see it even getting a classification if this is the case. But, as they also said, it's not a verified source.

Kinda, but more human. Remember that game that was on PS2 where it was basically you trying to achieve objectives during riots? I even think there was 2 games. Urban Chaos: Riot Response. More like that.

From general talking around the internet, its sounds as if Sony is billing this to be their 2012 blockbuster, in much the same way Uncharted 2 was this year.

PS. I'm studying for exams this week, hence why i've become a bit too interested in all this.

I think you mean the god awful State of Emergency. Definitely not interested if it;s like that. Urban Chaos: RR was a FPS by the guys that made Arkham Asylum that was ridiculous but fun, definitely not a zombie game.

I don't know, I think these guys have made a zombie game and are trying to cover up how unoriginal they are very unconvincingly.

There's nothing so far to make me believe it's anything but left 4 dead except the zombies aren't rotting. Zombie by any other name is still a zombie.
