The Last Guy Detailed on PlayStation.Blog
Sony Computer Entertainment’s Josh Miller has updated us today on the PlayStation.Blog about their upcoming PLAYSTATION Network title, The Last Guy.
“Set some time in the 21st century, a mysterious purple ray hits Earth, turning anyone touched by the light into a monster or zombie. With zombies roaming the streets, unaffected people lucky enough to have been inside a building when the ray hit are anxiously holding their collective breath, waiting for someone to rescue them. As The Last Guy, you are the survivors’ last hope to survive this global crisis. Actually, the hero of the game is himself a zombie from the Himalayan mountains, on a quest to save the remaining humans from the zombies that have infested it. Go forth and save!!”
The gameplay uses real-life maps from places such as Tokyo, London, and Los Angeles, and the player must navigate the city while gathering survivors hidden through buildings and such. These people will form a line behind you, and you must lead them to the safe-zone.
In order to complete a stage, you need to get enough survivors to an escape zone before time runs out.
There are 10 types of zombies, not includer the tougher “boss” enemies. The Last Guy posses powers such as thermography and heat vision to help you see where the survivors are hiding. You can also find power ups such as freezing time and temporary invisibilty to aid you in your mission.
