Hi everyone – Josh Miller here. I recently launched Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic, but today I’m here to talk about a quirky little game called The Last Guy. I’m happy to announce that tomorrow the game will receive a free update that adds Trophies to the game. I’m excited since it gives me a reason to play through the game again.
If you haven’t heard of The Last Guy, the game came out last summer, preceded by an “interesting”developer diary video. It’s a classic and addictive “line” game with simple controls that uses satellite maps of real cities around the world, including San Francisco, Tokyo, and Sydney, as its levels. You play a hero who rescues people hiding out in buildings and leads them to the safety zone for evacuation while avoiding zombie monsters that roam the streets. The bigger the line, the bigger the bonus. But bigger lines also make it harder to avoid monsters, who make people scatter when they get close.
You can use thermo vision to see where people are hiding, and pick up power-ups scattered throughout the levels to stop time, fill up your energy meter and more. The game is available now for $9.99 on the PS Store, and there’s even a demo if you want to try it out before you buy it.
Here’s a trailer to get an idea of what the game is about and what the visuals look like.
There will be 15 Trophies in all to reward you for getting good ratings on stages, rescuing VIPs, getting lots of fireworks and more. The Trophies are not retro-active, meaning they won’t be unlocked automatically when the update is installed. You’ll need to play the game again to unlock them.
I also am pleased to announce an add-on coming for The Last Guy next month. It will add 3 bonus stages to the game, which are unlocked by fulfilling certain conditions in the main game. The add-on also includes 8 additional Trophies to help you rank up your Trophy level.
Enjoy!
Nice I was wondering when these trophies would get announced in NA. Thanks for the update!
After a long day at work today, you guys just made my day! Thank you!
good news. I enjoyed this game, may have to come back to it. Keep up the good work!
Wow I like all the good news about updates and stuff today.
Incredible news!
Awesome, thanks! Looking forward to this. Picked this up awhile ago, very polished game.
This makes me really wonder what’s up with Bionic Commando Rearmed if even The Last Guy is getting updated with trophies…
I tried the demo of this game but found it to be unplayable because I couldn’t see the people or monsters well enough. Everything was extremely small on my screen even using the zoom view as far down as it goes. I have a 46″ Sony Bravia LCD which I play on. Is there a chance at adding an even closer zoom in an upcoming patch ?
HELL YES!
I expect a follow up to this video: http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14265437/the-last-guy/videos/thelastguy_vidreview_082608.html
