New Spike teaser drops mega-hint: new Resident Evil incoming?

2134

Spike’s gone live with another trailer teasing the VGAs, and there looks to be a great big Resident Evil hint in there.

The latest trailer further teases the “Infected” reveal with another image containing the words, “Stay Alive, Stay Alert, Report Symptoms”, being visible for a split-second if you pause the trailer when it asks you to “looks closely” at seven seconds in.

This image may crush earlier guesses that this might have to do with Valve or a new Left4Dead reveal. As you can see, the image clearly contains a BioHazard symbol.

If that’s not enough, it asks you to report symptoms. “Infected”, a BioHazard symbol and reporting symptoms: let’s add three and make ten.

As Gamerzines points out, one of the zombies in the first teaser image looks the same as one of the cut-outs on an old Resident Evil shirt. And when we says “looks”, we mean “is”.

Resident Evil: Raccoon City was rumoured to be in development at Slant Six – the studio behind SOCOM: Confrontation, as well as Tactical Strike and Fireteam Bravo 3 on PSP – earlier this month.

Expect another one of these before the awards: this is image two of three, as it says in the corner of the image.

We’ll find out on December 11 when VGA 2010 airs.

Is this what Geoff Keyghley said about PS3 exclusive?

Maybe it’s that RESIDENT EVIL PSP Game?

Maybe it’s that rumored Resident Evil game from the creators of shitty SOCOM games?

RE 6 sounds logical. Remember this “for the….” in the other trailer? Looks like there are 6 lines under it.

I doubt it’ll be the sixth major game. There’s no way they’d announce at the VGAs with obvious teases. That spin-off sounds about right.

Like Erthazus said, nothing has ben mentioned of the PSP game and that was announced at last E3 wasn’t it?

Well, they wanted they’re major games to be yearly churn offs didn’t they. Seems like they’re ready to slap numbers on any bigish resi game.

i wonder if that “look closely” tease has anything to do with this:

“@Geoff Keighley
Sony to hold ‘exclusive PS3 reveal’ on Dec 12: Mystery game to miss VGAs for its own unveiling event. http://bit.ly/d5tQSd

Geoff Keighley

@runningitout Who said this game is missing the VGAs?

Almir_K

@geoffkeighley if SONY reveals it during the VGA why would it need to a separate event? is it that BIG? is it a game changer for SCE?

Geoff Keighley

@Almir_K Great questions. LOOK CLOSER.

Almir_K

@Geoff Keighley

So i guess theres one more teaser for this seeing as it says “2 of 3″ in the corner.

Geoff Keighley is a master of overhyping shit.

Maybe there will be ANOTHER trailer with Uncharted 3 VGA trailer *look closer* stuff.

I dont think the PSP RE game exists anymore. I’m sure its the one thats now on 3DS. That said, it still might head over to PSP2 as a multiplat.

@12 “exclusive ps3 reveal” doesn’t sound much as a psp exclusive and on another note psp2 is almost right around the corner so there’s no point teasing a psp game right now

@17 good point.Outbreak 1+2 since they can take much more advantage this gen for ther multiplayer

We all know all non-japanese Resident Evil games are CRAP. So until no Capcom Japan developing a Resident Evil game, no buy.

More zombies. Hurrah.

Surely another ‘classics HD’ collection wouldn’t be big enough to warrant its own ‘big reveal’ event, Suikoden?

See the Gamerzines update added there.

#31

Suikoden Fan
26/11/10, 9:52 am

@blerk to a degree i’d agree with you but say that final fantasy hd collection included 7

say a 7 8 and 9 pack, that would be a megaton of epic proportions. gta already gets headlines in mainstream media so thats possible.

as for RE collection, thats possible it is a worldwide franchise as it mgs. i wouldnt rule them out entirely but odds on, its not likely i’ll admit

#32

Suikoden Fan
26/11/10, 10:06 am

@blerk let me clarify further.

i suggest the RE collection for this specific thing.
The other 3 as sony next day thing. I’m pretty sure if its the Final Fantasy Collection, say with 7 8 and 9. the internet would explode especially for a hd remake of 7.

hell if such a collection exists then maybe that would mean final fantasy 7 hd 3d remake.

MGS though wouldnt have the same effect as FF it would still be pretty big, say MGS 1 2 and 3 collection in hd, and 3d.

GTA always gets coverage from the main media outlets, pretty much everytime now, so if this was announced, at least when announced and when its to come out the media would go into a frenzy, so free publicity with that.

#33

26/11/10, 10:09 am

A proper HD remake of 7, maybe. But not for just a ‘classics’-style upscaley makeover.

#34

Suikoden Fan
26/11/10, 10:12 am

@blerk most people i talk too only want that kind of remake for 7, they dont want SE to fuck it up by making it ‘new’ if recent releases are anything to go by i bloody agree SE output this gen has been woeful.

its only the MGS and Final Fantasy Collections i’ve heard rumors of though, the other 2 are guesses.

#35

Blerk
26/11/10, 10:17 am

The trouble with doing just an upscale of FF7 would be that everything’s so low-poly to begin with it would still look awful – you may as well just be playing the PSOne Classics version that’s already available.

If they’re going to do it then they have to properly remake it or it makes no sense. In my opinion, of course. :-)

#36

Suikoden Fan
26/11/10, 10:20 am

i understand your point and can somewhat agree but if you look at SE output this gen the only good games have been handheld ones, that says alot. besides if they are doing that collection, it wouldn’t be the prettiest of games true but it would be coming with 8 and 9 too.

#37

Suikoden Fan
26/11/10, 10:22 am

i just hope the final fantasy collection is not 10, 10-2 and 12, ugh only 10 is good out of those 3

that being said, HD BlitzBall Fuck yeah!

#38

So it looks like it’ll be Resident Evil: Shit SOCOM Edition That Nobody Wants.

Just great.

#39

I think an ‘HD Classics’ collection of X, X-2 and XII is far more likely, tbh. :-)

#40

Suikoden Fan
26/11/10, 11:25 am

@blerk well theres no set rule that classics hd have to be ps2 games as far as i know, and i’m sure sony and SE are well aware they’d sell more of a 7,8 and 9 pack than they would of 10, 10-2 and 12.

#41

StolenGlory
26/11/10, 11:35 am

@Blerk

An ‘HD Classics’ collection of X, X-2 and XII would be greatly welcomed by myself.

Especially in light of the lack of back compat in contempoary PS3′s and the spotiness of the PCSX2 emulator.

#42

Blerk
26/11/10, 11:56 am

NOBODY should have to suffer X-2 again! :-D

Indeed! I’m sure that someone in SE thought that ‘Charlies Angels meets Final Fantasy’ was a GREAT idea.

Hopefully they are no longer gainfully employed.

#44

26/11/10, 12:49 pm

@42 and 43 much rather have a 7 8 9 pack anyday.

hell how about a final fantasy origins and anthology hd pack?

#45

Blerk
26/11/10, 1:00 pm

Actually, to be brutally honest… I’d rather they made a new game instead. I still have all the old ones, if I really felt the calling to play one again I could just dig them out.

It was certainly unlucky for them – I didn’t buy it. First mainline FF I’ve missed since 7.

#48

26/11/10, 1:58 pm

@blerk you didnt miss much, its was pretty much fully linear and that non linear section was linerized too. its a poor game tbh. SE fell for the trap alot of devs do Graphics over Substance

I sincerely hope it’s the PSP Resident Evil previously mentioned by Sony.
