The Last Guy: Gameplay Translation From Magazine Scan

Translated from the magazine description:

"Escape from zombies that has overtaken the streets of Asakusa!

The streets of Asakusa (a real Japanese city) has been overtaken by zombies. Can you control "The Last Guy" and use his moves to dodge zombies while you guide as many people as you can to the ESCAPE ZONE within the set amount of time?

Looking from a satellite view of super detailed graphics much like "Google Earth", make a huge crowd and lead them to safety. An addictive game once you've tried it, the ultimate hide-and-seek!"

The genre for this game is listed under "Action".
Updates:
Japanese gaming site Famitsu Online has reported The Last Guy under their "PlayStation Online Service" section, sarcastically introducing it as "a game with wasteful over-use of PS3's graphical powers".

This pretty much confirms that this is a PSN download title.

After reading a clearer scan there has been a mistake in my translation. The magazine states that the game uses actual hi-res areal pics from Google Earth. Also now being able to read the fine print, the magazine confirms that this will be a PSN download title due out this Summer. Price is not yet confirmed and the sub-genre listed under "Action" is "Big Line of Action".

PS3 gets its dead rising except we are not confined to a mall. I'm down for it. Wait nevermind its in a RTS format, still sounds cool.

So you guys notice the Google Earth part in the Japanease description, wonder what thats about?

Better be that you can customise it to your own town, now that would be awesome. So you can star on your own doorstep and escape from Zombies.

3 - Why does it have to be Asakusa?
Isn't that a poor choice? I dunno that like making a game based in Fresno. Its a city nobody cares about.

3.1 - most cities look the same from birds eye view
there were some shots of some guys playing what looked like the original gta with real graphics. This game is nothing like dead rising.

I guess this will have to do until Dead Rising 2 (if it ever happens... and it better be in an amusement park)

well... according to PSM3- Dead Rising 2 is coming to all next-gen platforms and will be set in a desert town....

...which sucks, a desert town sounds boring- i like the amusement park idea much better
