Exclusive: “No Hope Left” Is Capcom!

As promised earlier today, we bring you an on the spot report from the site of one of the mysterious ‘No Hope Left’ graffitis – I have managed to return from Vauxhall, London, without being bitten or infected by zombies.

I had a pretty good idea where to find the sprayed message as I recognised the area from the original picture on www.nohopeleft.com so it only took moments to locate.

After carefully scanning the area for zombies I made a detailed inspection of the graffiti. Sadly there were no copyright notices or little hints that the advert is for Resident Evil 6 but, as the eagle eyed may of spotted, it is an advert.

The ‘torn’ pictures behind the writing are part of the advert and the graffiti is printed rather than sprayed on, something you can only spot if you are standing beside the advert.

Now the thing about billboards is that the company that runs them always has its name prominently displayed and in this case the company is called ‘Primesight’.

A quick Google and I find the phone number for the company and give them a call, innocently asking them if they could tell me what the advert is about, could they perhaps tell me which company placed the advert?

After a lengthy chat I had to send them a picture of the advert via email and whilst waiting for the reply we asked Capcom if they were in anyway linked to the No Hope Left adverts. I’ll give you one guess what they said.

Capcom doesn’t comment on any rumours or speculation.

Well we tried. We did. We asked Capcom. We did, they didn’t know but Primesight are seemingly a lot more helpful as they have just sent me an email.

Panel number is 2375 03 Parry Street. The company advertising on it is CAPCOM.

Kerching!

  4. Nice one TC!

  5. Now that is some classy decetive work there! Well done sir!
    Had a look at the website myself, it does seem to hint at some sort of infection.
    Hopefully if it is resi 6, umbrella / tricell are not going to be involved as a fresh protagonist would inject some life into the franchise.

  6. Excellent work TC, I hereby give(Read:Stolen from the TSA biscuit supply) you 100 biscuits and 30 teabags. If Peter, asks, i wasn’t here. :p

    TSA has even been mentioned on IGN. :O It’s an unusual way to advertise a product but seems to be effective atm. I hope this isn’t a cruel prank by Capcom or it turns out to be a DLC pack for a previous Resi game.

  7. I must congratulate you with this fine feat! Nice to see some old-school, hardcore journalism going on!

  8. Great work TC!
