The Spike TV Video Game Awards are just a week away, but the news is already starting to flow from the show. The folks behind the broadcast have been promoting the fact that a PlayStation 3 exclusive would debut there, and today, a teaser trailer for that game -- The Last of Us -- has been posted

It's not much to go on as it uses real footage from various riots and tragedies -- a September 11th clip jumped out at me -- but it sounds like some kind of post-apocalyptic title based on the narrator wishing for normal parts of everyday life. The website for The Last of Us features another video that's just an ant crawling around on a plant.

What do you think of the trailer? What's this game going to be about and who is making it? Let us know your theories in the comments below.

didnt have much to go on but ... hmmm

I went to the website and it didn't mean anything there either!

 

Based off of what I've seen, leaf-cutter ants destroy human civilaization. That's about it.

Very ambiguous. The trailer feels more like it would be for a documentary than a video game.

Ok then?

When I first saw the title I was like: OMG IS SQUARE MAKING A AWESOME VIDEO GAME?!

Then I was like: Ok... then....

Why wold you think it's sqaure game?

As soon as I started watching this I started thinking about Infamous.

Why wold you think it's sqaure game?

 

The title sounds something like they would come up with.

Also we should see more of this game at VGA this year and so other games will have trailers there.Like MGS:Rising news

Yesterday, a teaser trailer for The Last of Us burst on to the scene and really didn't tell us much about the game. Today, we know the PlayStation 3 exclusive is about brain fungus. Maybe.

 

The Last of Us teaser trailer features riot and disaster footage with a voiceover longing for the simple things we take for granted. Sounds like a post-apocalyptic game to us. What could bring about the end of the world? Brain fungus.

 

The Last of Us website features the teaser trailer along with a video snippet of an ant. Eagle-eyed Internet people (like IGN reader Greg Osborne) figured out that the ant video is from an episode of BBC Planet Earth that focuses on cordyceps, a fungus. Seems the cordyceps gets into ants, takes over their brains, and grows from inside them. This kills them; shocking, I know. Here's the clip...

Is this hinting that the end of human civilization in The Last of Us is due to some kind of spore that gets in humans and grows from inside us with some kind of mind control? Let us know in the comments below and keep your eyes on IGN for The Last of Us news.

 

Until then, mull some The Last of Us theories from IGN Bloggers Dean147 and Shocking4U.

Hey! What's up everybody!?

Here's Part 1 in case you want to check it out:

 

Personally, I'm having a blast playing the game and I can't wait to share the following episodes of my Playthrough with everyone.
