VGA 2010 ad hints at 'Infected' game revelation

GamerMan316 · November 22, 2010, 11:31:29 AM

An image detected in an advert for the Video Game Awards has sparked speculation of a Left 4 Dead-related reveal.

The image, which you can see below, contains the message: "Infected? Report it!" In the bottom right hand corner sits "1 of 3" (as noticed by Joystiq).

Clearly, the game it refers to is zombie-related, but what is it?

Reports suggest it's anything from a PlayStation 3 port of Left 4 Dead and/or Left 4 Dead 2, to a Left 4 Dead 3 reveal.

At E3 2010 in June Left 4 Dead developer Valve announced Portal 2 would arrive on PS3 as well as PC and Xbox 360 when it's released next year.

"I've been pretty outspoken in my comments about next gen consoles," boss man Gabe Newell joked during Sony's E3 conference, "so I'd like to thank Sony for their gracious hospitality and not repeatedly punching me in the face."

But, given every game these days has zombies, "Infected" could releate to anything.

It won't be a PS3 exclusive but it will be on the PS3 now that Valve have finally embraced the console.

You got it all wrong. It's going to be a gritty realistic dating sim.

Image 2 points towards a Resi game

Image 3 apparently points towards a Prototype sequel

The images look very Left 4 Dead-sian to me.

A gritty, realistic dating sim?

You know, I've been making a dating sim myself this past month and I've been looking for a real hook to set it apart and spark some interest. Seeing as how zombies are the hottest new gaming trend these days... Hot zombie dating sim perhaps?

I know a great potential theme song. http://www.last.fm/music/Thunderdikk/_/Hot+Zombie+f*ck

BONUS - since one of the band members is on the G4TV staff, you may get some publicity.
