I have read minimal responses here, I just thought I'd give my take on this.
First off, I HIGHLY doubt this is some move horror game or whatever is being speculated. Geoff Keighley is acting like this will be a big deal. A lot of people don't have move, and they're not going to waste a huge major announcement on something for PS Move. Move support? Maybe, but as a side thought. Geoff also stated this announcement will "have people talking."
Secondly, It's important to view what is said in the video. Here are some quotes:
"Lying on the couch watching sunday football."
"That greasy smell of a downtown hotdog."
"Fourth of July family barbecue."
"The sound of a plane flying overhead."
"Just one, peaceful night."
"A clean conscious."
"All gone."

Places / Images shown:
- Railroad tracks
- Quarantine zone - (WITH CHILDREN IN THIS AREA)
- A crashed truck
- Lots of people wearing masks
- People rioting against police
- Fire, destruction
- People destroying stuff
- Police officer with a filter mask on (sorry, not sure the name of this)
- A cross / grave (someone burying someone?)
- More rioting / police
Some obvious things we can conclude based on these:
The beginning quotes are relating to things in America: football, hotdogs, 4th of july, etc. I do not believe that "sound of a plane overhead" is there terrorist attack of Sept 11th, instead a new attack on American Soil. I'm not entirely sure what lines 5 and 6 mean (possibly a peaceful night where tons of innocents die?), but line 7 is implying that everything American is lost, so maybe after the peaceful night, there is an attack and America is forever changed.
Next, although this is probably irrelevant, the video was uploaded on December 1st, 2011. It was probably listed as private until todays reveal. More interestingly, the youtube account "thelastofus" was created on July 12, 2006.
Out of curiosity, I simply googled July 12th 2006. I found a lot of results for the "2006 Lebanon War"
More info about the Lebanon War can be found here:

I'm not exactly sure what the Lebanon War would mean here, but Lebanon and Israel were involved in this war. Both sides did claim victory of the war:
Hezbollah victory according to Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, and groups sympathetic to Hezbollah[2][3][4]
Israeli military victory according to Israel, the United States and political parties opposed to Hezbollah
I believe it's impossible to truly say what all of this means, and a lot of what i pointed out could be completely irrelevant. This is just speculation. It's hard to say this is a new IP due to the fact that it would have crazy amazing gameplay footage reveal, but it is definitely possible
. I'm not sure what sequel it would be to any other sony franchise, which leaves me to believe almost has to be a new IP, focused around American going to hell (Chemical Warfare?) and being attacked by other countries. Also, I'd say this will be an RPG.
One again, this is all speculation and I really have no clue what i'm talking about.
