A new trailer has just been uploaded showcasing the upcoming VGAs. Asking us to “look closer,” if you freeze the video just after the message, you can see the following image flashing for the briefest of instances.

We know there will be reveals at this year’s VGAs, but is this Left 4 Dead 3? What else could it be? Start your rumour-engines.

Looks like it might be a new Resi Evil after all...

Secret VGA Zombie game is Resident Evil - and here's the proof


GamerZines has uncovered evidence that the secret zombie game due to be unveiled at next month's VGAs is indeed a new Resident Evil title, and no, it's not because of the Biohazard logo.

The internet has speculated that the 'Zombie Teaser' could be linked to Resident Evil because of the Biohazard symbol spotted on the image. While that's not too farfetched, it's hardly definitive proof - that logo could be placed on any zombie game, after all.

GamerZines, however, has found something a little more definitive. We'd like to draw your attention to the teaser itself and at the zombie silhouette we have circled in red. Interesting pose, eh, and we've we seen it before.

Take a look at the second image, a print from a T-shirt which is part of the official Resident Evil merchandise. Same pose, same zombie. Not only that, but the other zombie that appears in the teaser is also on the shirt design, only facing the other way.

The same zombie silhouettes from an official Resident Evil T-shirt appearing on a VGA teaser for a zombie game? We'd say this is fairly definitive proof that Capcom are about to announce another Resident Evil.

But which one? With Resident Evil 6 still very much in the works, thoughts gravitate towards the unconfirmed Resident Evil project rumoured to be in development at Vancouver-based Slant Six Games under the codename 'Resident Evil: Raccoon City'.
Given the team's work on the PSP SOCOM titles, we'd say this is probably the Resident Evil PSP game announced during Sony's E3 2009 conference that has since gone into hiding.

But when will we know for sure? December 11th. VGAs. Mark it in your diary. And remember, if it is Resident Evil, you heard it here first.

It might actually be Bloodhunt. Murder Your Maker may just be the marketing scheme.

If it's not A) a co-op open world game or B) a F2P MMO style zombie game taking place in various cities across the world

then

DO NOT WANT.
 
I loved the original L4D. Played it a ton with my friends. I enjoyed L4D2 but fewer of my friends bought is as they were losing interest...I fear the same for L4D3. And because of that I won't get to enjoy it as much if they don't take the plunge. I'd be interested to see what the setting is. The southern setting got kind of old. And the characters weren't nearly as fun.
 
Please......just no. I was on board for the second one but this is too fucking much.

Please tell me it's more Dead Rising 2 DLC episodes.

Serious ? That's my dream game you just described. :(
(set in the L4D universe I mean)
 
That poster looks nothing like anything from L4D, or Valve for that matter.

Why are people assuming this is L4D3? There's no indication it's that, other than 1 of 3 in the corner, and even so, it could be Dead Rising 3 or some other game with Zombies that has a third entry. Or that could be meaningless.

Valve is also releasing 2 games next year, which is like a record for them, so I really doubt they'll push a third out.
 
Valve is already busy on Portal 2 and DotA 2. That poster might hint at future DLC, but I doubt it is a fully fledged sequel.
 
Doubt it's Left4Dead. Draft is right; it doesn't have the Valve style to it at all.

It might be a completely new franchise or it might be a new Resident Evil. More likely the former.

yeah, changed title to reflect how badly of a reach this was by TSA

Didn't Valve rule out yearly installments of L4D?


Ever downloaded a patch from Steam while waiting for the game to launch? Notice the blazing dl speed and the "Content hosting provided by Left4Dead"? Yeah. Gabe works that console dollar and puts it into Steam. I'm sure PC players will be able to get the game for $33 at launch. Good price for and expansion IMO.

that's an l not 1. :p

looks like "lDF3" to me, letters misplaced maybe :p.
it's too soon for DR3.

EDIT: Could be Dead Rising 2: Case West reveal or something.
 
There is something wrong with the "zombies" silhouettes. Especially with the legs of the closer one.
 
Hopefully someone jacked into my brain and stole my Zombie game idea Inception-style. I'll share so someone can steal the idea because I want to play it.

The game has an isometric viewpoint of the room, building, or area you're in and up to 4 players can play cooperatively. There's a picture-in-picture window which shows zombies shuffling their way to where you are which acts as a time limit that you have to barricade and equip yourself before they arrive.

EVERYTHING in the area is at your disposal. Just look around in the room you're in right now and think of what you would do to defend yourself from zombies. That's the concept. The heaviest object can be used to barricade the door. Tall objects can be pushed in front of windows. Chimney pokes would make a great weapon etc. It would take 2 or more players to move heavier objects so co-op is strongly recommended. No 2 plays would be exactly alike. You may realize a second time through that you could use that ladder to climb up and pull down some piping as extra weapons or to prop up against a door.

I WANT THIS GAME!!!

It looks like the leg is falling off

Which is another reason this probably isn't L4D. In L4D, the Zombies aren't decaying, the only way they'd lose limbs is if they were shot at. Which obviously wouldn't be used on a poster in L4D, because survivors aren't suppose to have guns

Neither did L4D2, until we saw the logo.
Valve has best in the business art direction. At no point would they allow a sign like that into the L4D universe. CEDA wouldn't put shambling zombie silhouettes with a no smoking circle on top. I can't believe I'm typing this.
 
Actually, what am I thinking. It has to be Left 4 Dead 3. There aren't really any other series that feature zombies prominently.
 
Dudes look like they are rapping -- so my guess is that this is DLC for Def Jam Rapstar titled The Walking Dead Jam Rapstar.
 
I'm getting a House of the Dead:Overkill vibe from this.

Pretty sure it was revealed Headstrong were working on a sequel a while ago.
 
Fallout-NL said:
No, its a 1.
I was joking :p . the only way to relate this to L4D is zombies and that there isn't any other zombie games that may possibly get a sequel soon.
edit: There is a QR code in there too, anybody looked into it?

This is a good bet. I'll be there day one for more Overkill.
 
I'd love a new L4D, but I doubt that's what this is.

I'm thinking it's a game from Sega or Capcom

Now that I have the Overkill suggestion in my head I can only read "For the Mom." :lol
 
It would be nice to see L4D+L4D2+somenewcontent bundled together in a L4D Compendium available for all HD platforms.

Sony is thought to be working on a Zombie game called "Until Dawn", possibly using PS Move. Maybe it's that.

Ever wanted to be in a video game trailer? How about a zombie video game trailer?

On May 15th and 16th, we will be shooting a trailer for an upcoming zombie video game in San Francisco, CA. We want to give 20 of you the chance to appear in the trailer… as a zombie!

Looks way more Dead Rising style than L4D style, but it could be either. I don't think there are many other options really. How many zombie franchises can you think of which refer to the zombies as "infected" directly in the game mythos itself?

I'm pretty sure the trailer that they shot was for Dead Nation.

For the Move?
Could be that Zombie game with move support (maybe it was move only?). I dunno. Maybe I'm making that up but I do remember a PS3 Move game with Zombies being announced. I don't know if anything was shown though.
