PS3 Exclusive: The Last Guy teaser site opens

Majed Athab of PS3Fanboy says,

"Remember The Last Guy? It was a title that Sony trademarked awhile back. Other than that fact and a name, the only other thing we knew about the game was that it received an E10 rating from the ESRB. However, now we've got a little more to work with as Gpara points out a teaser site for this supposed title.

On the teaser site, we can see rows of red caricatures seemingly marching. The red text stating "2008.7.11" suggests we may see something soon this Friday. A star adjacent to The Last Guy text also seems to be more than just a design -- it appears to be part of the title itself. We sense a strong allusion here; the game could possibly be about Communism (soldiers, red star, etc.), but that's just a thought. Anyway, feel free to play around with the site; maybe you'll find something we've missed."

More from PS3Fanboy:

"That teaser site didn't have us speculating for long. Only a short while after it was unveiled, some sketchy details on what we can expect from The Last Guy have surfaced. From the sounds of it, The Last Guy will be another quirky, unique PSN title with an interesting art style. Sounds great to us -- that's exactly what we love about the PSN. There are conflicting reports with regards to the exact details, but the general consensus is that it will be a "rescue game" where the player is expected to guide people through a city to a safe zone.

Kotaku is reporting that there are zombies involved and that the game's environment will utilize Google Earth. PS3 Attitude says that the images are far higher resolution than Google Earth and makes no mention of zombies. It does mention that there will be VIPs to save, along with the normal plebs, which will obviously be worth more points. It's all still very vague but also very intriguing. We're expecting to find out more this Friday the 11th -- the date found on the Teaser site.
