Guess what? MORE BOOM!

The terror comes from the ants!
There are only two days to the Video Game Awards 2011, the event that, in addition to rewarding games of 2011, will remove the veil of new titles including this new The Last of Us, PlayStation 3 exclusive.
As promised in the podcast, we reveal today the first information about the title being developed by a study in the famous and popular gaming scene.
According come to the office, we will set in the near future, in which, due to a contamination of ants, people will gradually become infected and lead to death while in some other real zombies. They will fall, hit by the infection, the first metropolitan cities of Central America such as Texas and New Mexico, so close the whole quarantine, and then, after an outbreak in the UK, although the United States of America, voice of its President, declare a state of alert.
Which scenario is then for the main character? Imagine being trapped in a world where you are left to themselves, only survivors, a kind of "I Am Legend," for those who have read the book or seen the movie with actor Will Smith. In contrast, however, already known to most of the script, the protagonist tries to save his family, and at the same time try to understand where it comes from this infection.
You will find that in the forests of South America where there are secret installations were performed unauthorized experiments that have plagued the adjacent vegetation, including ants. These little insects assume a particularly aggressive stance much to see in man a form of threat. A similar pattern is present in the book "The Hephaestus plague" which later was made ​​into the movie "Bug, insect of fire", where a colony of insects sticking out of the ground and began to kill the man.
The view should be in first person, just to bring more intensity and emotion to the gameplay.
Below we leave you with two images from the trailer that will be shown at the 2011 Video Game Awards, entirely made ​​in-game.

So, what's the general consensus on the most likely developer?

Santa Monica, right? Aren't they already working on GoW4 though?

If there is a God in heaven listening to my prayers? Sony broke up a few first party studios to create one massive studio capable of working on multiple projects with multiple creative directors sharing the lead role...

Hey wait a minute, isn't the whole hallucinating water thing in Uncharted 3 caused by a fungus? Even if this one isn't deadly.

Sounds cool. Looking forward to seeing this. Not enough serious zombie games any more. They're all just over the top for the sake of it. If this has some restraint and good story telling it could be phenomenal. I've always thought that games were a great medium for zombie stories but there haven't been any that have approached it from a storytelling aspect.

What better way to display horror than a screaming zombie jumping at you out of nowhere in first person? This could be a really intimate affair.

The auto-translation is pretty much truth to the original. They basically say:

- Set in a near future
- Ants infection people. Some die. Some become zombie.
- Infection hits central america first, like texas and new mexico and then, after a hotbed in UK, they propragate to the rest of US (not sure I understand the dynamic here). US President declares allert status.
- Non-authorized experiments conducted in secret installations in south america are the cause of an infestation that hit vegetation first, and then ants.
- Infected ants are aggressive. See man as a menace.
- First person view

Disclaimer: I was not involved with the article at all :D

The comment about it being first person indicates there will not be a whole lot of shooting, if any at all. I like this.

I agree. I wonder if SSM is doing this if the FP combat will be like the bit at the end of GoW3. That would be really cool for a game like this. It had an awesome sense of motion and impact.

I don't care, I don't like how first person games control to begin with, I'd rather have menacing creatures in hostile environments while playing in third person. Hype down the drain.

First person? Interest retracted.

I think the point of it being first person is so that you don't distract yourself by drooling at Nathan Drake's ass cheeks when a zombie is around the corner.

Yeah sure sony is going to kill franchise that has sold 13 million copies so far. Have you even finished Uncharted3?
Click to expand...

My comment was in response suggesting that this and U3 take place in the same world. I don't think Nathan Drake can survive a zombie outb- oh wait he did already.

Hell, Uncharted 1 dealt with something similar lol.

I'm so sick of 1st person games now. Need more 3rd person
Click to expand...

so 3 people, 4 with me lost interest when heard that it is FPS, ha I thought I was the only one. Don't like FPS in general. never connect with the characters in the game, especially with the one you play as.

Yawn, what else is at VGA, this one goes under the rug

Sorry, that info is likely fake..I hope.. The article claims this is a grab from the trailer

http://www.4news.it/images/stories/games/sony/TheLastOfUs/20111208/the-last-of-us_pic002.jpg

I'm not aware of any major game reveal trailer that would knowingly use font that terrible, if they're claiming THAT is a grab from the trailer, then the entire article is confirmed fake. Sony would never use font that horribad in a reveal trailer...then again...

and here's the quote claiming thats a grab from the trailer
