Lexis Numérique has today revealed an all-new title heading to PlayStation 3, Amy. Currently in development at VectorCell, Amy is the new game by Paul Cuisset, creator of mythic games such as Flashback and the Moto Racer series.

December 2034. Global warming has taken effect, spreading disease and natural disasters around the world. The small town of Silver City (Midwest, USA) has been directly affected by a comet that has come crashing down. When Lana regains consciousness, everything around her is just mayhem. Violent outbursts, fury, Electronic Theatre Imagerage, wreckage and death: the world she knew seems to have torn to Hell. As if struck by a mysterious virus, most of the ones she knew have now become part of a wild horde.

Despite her wounds, she knows she must run as far as possible to escape this nightmare: the viral process has begun inside her but she refuses to become one of them. The presence of Amy, a strange little girl who seems defenseless, will force her to make choices that will change both their lives. Infected humans, grisly creatures, Special Forces and even other survivors: they will have to trust and help each other to escape their pursuers in their attempt to survive.

Amy is currently in development exclusively for PlayStation 3, and is expected to be available in Q2 2011 via PlayStation Network. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details.

Sounds...interesting.

sounds interesting but that name....

StuBurns · Feb 28, 2011

Not the image I expected from the title, blimey.

Global warming causes comets!??!!? Someone get Al Gore on the phone!

pbrand · Feb 28, 2011

A French depiction of a Midwestern USA city? Something tells me this could be a disaster, haha.

sixteen-bit · Feb 28, 2011

Definitely sounds like a unique premise. I'd interested in seeing more.

FleaTheMagician · Feb 28, 2011

This sounded pretty cool until I saw that it was a PSN game. I just don't like buying a game when I can't own the disc, case, manual, etc.

alphaNoid · Feb 28, 2011

I clicked on this thread and did a double take, thats not the Amy I thought I would see. lol

stuminus3 · Feb 28, 2011

Paul Cuisset, eh? Could be interesting!

Apoc29 · Feb 28, 2011

Man, I hate it when I wake up and Electronic Theatre Imagerage is staring me right in the face.

BocoDragon · Feb 28, 2011

Catherine?, Amy?.... Next game from Square Enix.. "Susan".

GeoramA · Feb 28, 2011

Flashback creator? Will keep an eye on this.

InfiniteNine · Feb 28, 2011

I thought there would be more pink in the OP. Anyways game sounds pretty sweet can't wait to hear some more!

More of a disaster than a Japanese depiction of a Midwestern city?

Bizarre murders in Silver City

Ranger X · Feb 28, 2011

Maker of Flashback? Will keep an eye on this one too.

disappeared · Feb 28, 2011

The premise sounds interesting. It says she has to run as far away as possible?

BocoDragon said:
Catherine?, Amy?.... Next game from Square Enix.. "Susan".

Don't worry, she's an orphan.

Kiriku · Feb 28, 2011

Another zombie game? At least it sounds like they're trying to do something different. Hope it's not just a really long escort mission though.

Haha truth, I was expecting a PS3 version of Milo

Gameloft is prepping "Aimee" as we speak

Spwn · Feb 28, 2011

Interesting. There hasn't been a noteworthy PSN exclusive in a while. Will keep my eye on this.

I assume you don't play on your PC. And I don't see your problem owning a game digitally when there is no way of owning a disc version of it.

Ico was an escort mission and it turned out fine. It's just how well-cooked the premise ends up being.

Who meets other orphans and then in a plot twist they discover they're all from the same orphanage.

D2M15 · Feb 28, 2011

Cuisset's been on this for a while. Hopefully Lexis isn't just publishing and their In Memoriam (especially) and Experience 112 devs will be contributing, since it sounds very in their element.

yeah I did a double take when I clicked from the front page and then saw that image

Onion_Relish · Feb 28, 2011

Waiting for the inevitable reveals of:

Perks
RPG lite elements
intense set pieces
Online multiplayer

Hoping against hope its actually something different

Name isn't convoluted enough.

Struct09 · Feb 28, 2011

Was not expecting the image in the OP

crowphoenix · Feb 28, 2011

Well, Flashback is one of the best games ever, so I can safely say I'm interested.

lol same here.

I want to play this game but I don't know what Catherine will think.

cnizzle06 · Feb 28, 2011

Amy, come sit on my wall, and read me the story of....Jesus Christ KILL IT WITH FIRE

That sonuvabitch don't look like no zombie I've ever seen before.

My thought exactly lol

sleepykyo · Feb 28, 2011

Came in expecting a dating sim.

Then again, there are plenty of precedents for media with horror/paranormal elements being named after a female.

Games - Catherine
Movies - Jennifer (not the Megan Fox one), Carrie

Mildly interested.

Looks can be deceiving..

Sounds familiar.

Pretty much.

It's hard to know if Flashback was just a perfect result of many factors or if Cuisset really has a golden touch but I'm interested in this with his name attached.

Diomedeskun · Feb 28, 2011

Raziel, what big teeth you have...and I see you found a jaw.

Luigi87 · Feb 28, 2011

Like many, I was mislead by the game's title...

> *Reads title*
> "Interesting. Simple, short name, wonder if it will be something cal *clicks link* WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

Carl · Feb 28, 2011

Sounds pretty good. Will keep a beady eye on it.

OP image reminds me of a Weevil out of Torchwood.

V_Ben · Feb 28, 2011

From the creator of Flashback? Huh. Maybe this was once 7th Seal...

subversus · Feb 28, 2011

Flashback? I'm in.

Xater · Feb 28, 2011

No love for Moto Racer guys?

Don't forget Alice.

Sounds interesting, I want to see it in motion. Wasn't too impressed with PSN in 2010, especially after the godly 09, but 11' could be a great, great year.

TimmiT · Feb 28, 2011

Yet another Sonic spin-off? Goddamnit Sega.

KAL2006 · Feb 28, 2011

what about this game, I think it's another PSN exclusive game

Hex · Feb 28, 2011

A comet?
Some Colour Out of Space inspiration perhaps?
Either way, nice pedigree so I will definitely keep an eye on it perhaps even both!

He looks the anti-hero part. Sounds kind of cool.

°°ToMmY°° · Feb 28, 2011
