nobody knows what the game is about yet.  looks like you play from a top down perspective and rescue people.  speculation is that the location shown in-game is where they are actually playing it in japan.  could be really cool. 

edit: starting to read the articles with my should-be-better japanese.  yeah, they aren't spoiling what type of game it is.

bar on the HUD is your stamina bar.  you can zoom out with R buttons.  triangle is the dash button.  can't read kanji for the x and o buttons. 

edit: description under o button might mention 'zombie' if i see that correctly. 

the mission complete screen mentions --

total number of people rescued (out of like 3000)

line bonus (?)

VIP (with 4 person icons)

Awesome idea! It's probably gonna work for 90% of Japan, but I feel bad for the places that aren't properly stored on Google Earth yet :lol

I don't think they actually use Google Earth to set it in where you live. I could be wrong, but it seems more like the stages and locations are already preset as levels, and they're using Google Earth to make it more realistic.

That's what it sounds like. It's like one of those sound-a-likes that people make for TV shows too poor to get a song's licensee.

updated with a developer interview.  it has keyboard slapping and goat dick.  best developer video ever.  :lol

Quote
A Bengali game? Wow....

he's basically talking about how he's set up a new studio, and they are working in a comfortable surrounding on an great game. Then he talks about food for a bit, saying how they get to eat great food, then he apologises for talking about food and goes back to the game and how cool it is and how you're the last guy ever.

Peculiar that they are speaking both Hindi and Bengali.

and apparently the goat is named mary

Quote
The guy with the goat also mentions how the PS3 has opened up whole new avenues for everyone and something about the Himalayas too. And then goes off in to a crazy tangent about how he's the last guy. He also snips in that he's the best in the Himalayas (at what I didn't quite catch) lol.

Very odd. But really cool to see a game for the PS3 being developed under such circumstances. It's definitely peaked my interest. And I like their logo. No idea what kind of a game it is though lol. They don't give away any specifics.

Quote
I can translate the hindi (Bengali is already translated):

- Hello. I am programmer for the last guy. My name is Viye Bokhare. The last guy uses the PS3's cell and the use has cleared the graphics alot. *shows the screen* As you can see, i have cleared the picture of PS3 using my brain. I am number one in calculation in the entire Himalayas *uses calculator*.

- Hello. I am the graphic designer for the last guy. My name is Asok Sen. The whole world knows the last guy. The whole world knows there is a father of the last guy. I know that he is my son. I created him. He is my son. I am the last guy! Sorry, i talked a bit too much. This is the last game I'll create and its awesome!

- Whatever program I created for PS3, if we work together then there is no difficulty. This controller can help move the character with ease. You can also hear audio from this headphone. (Says some jibberish about the biggest something about last guy that you can move it. Maybe he is talking about motion). With playstation 3, all the doors for gaming are open. I am number one in calculation in the entire Himalayas!!

- I provided the design for all the dead characters in the last guy. I created the design by myself. As you can see, this terrifying design is creating by me *shows a picture*. The whole world knows the last guy. I say i designed it! I am the last guy!! Sorry, i spoke too much.

(translation not 100% but yea, you get the drift :P)

:lol too good

There's a gameplay video on the Japanese PSN Store now. It looks really awesome. It's a top down arcade style game like expected, but people literally POUR out of their houses as you run past and they start forming a looooong line behind you. It looks crazy and the "zombies" are actually GIANT monsters roaming the streets that kill people. Looks fucking amazing.

July 31st - 500yen - Japan Premium.

Post by: JustinP on July 18, 2008, 03:01:36 AM
yeah i watched it too.  definitely looks cool.  just hope there's enough content/replay value.  if it's $5, i'll probably get it regardless.  i still think those indian guys are the actual devs and i think it's awesome they landed a PSN game with sony.

IGN review
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/905/905778p1.html
9.0    Presentation
The first time you play, a voice over TV color bars tells you about the downfall of society. The mission screen has all the vital info for you to see at a glance. You can jump into levels.
7.5    Graphics
This is a simple game, but the city maps look great, and the way the crowd goes from following to freaking out is nice. The zombies and the last guy aren't the most detailed, but they look good.
8.5    Sound
There is only a handful of tracks in the game, but they never get old. The in-game song is catchy; the 8-bit effects are fun; and even when I died for the tenth time, the death music cracked me up.
9.0    Gameplay
Getting people from Point A to Point B is a simple concept, but The Last Guy uses level layouts, zombies, and strategy to make it something much, much more.
8.5    Lasting Appeal
I've beaten the game, and I can't wait to download it on Thursday and go after every VIP, every secret level, the leaderboards, and all 9,999,999,999 survivors I can have.

9.0
Outstanding    OVERALL
