Press Junketeer  Posts: 500 Joined: 25 Jan 2009    | Looks interesting, but i'd prefer to see some in game footage rather then just cinematics. But if it is Action and Survival, then it'll be in a very delicate position. Action and survival don't always mix as we know. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1607 Joined: 28 Aug 2008  | I'm definately keeping an eye on this one. I really enjoyed SOS: The Final Escape and this looks to hopefully have more fluid controls. And it's an under used game idea. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1293 Joined: 18 Jun 2008    | There's not much information about it, but I'm interested. I'll probably read some reviews before I decide whether I buy it or not. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4643 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 |
As would I, but no gamplay footage has been released. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 150 Joined: 25 Jan 2009  | I'm interested, might just turn out to be alot like fallout but without all the excess of items and health, you know, like what a REAL wasteland would be like haha. We'll just have to wait and see |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4643 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 |
I doubt it will as big as Fallout, but it is meant to be non-linear. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2478 Joined: 12 Jul 2008  | Looks interesting, I might buy it. If it's going to be survival horror, then what is he going to be fighting? If it's just other survivors, then it'll be like a more realistic Fallout 3. |

He is trying to set up a survival camp, and will most likely recruit certain characters to help him. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1013 Joined: 4 Dec 2007  | I like it. Just like I like almost all post-apocalyptic games. I just have a death-and-ruin fetish or something... It looks cool. Can't wait to see some gameplay footage. |
BANNED  Posts: 2340 Joined: 27 May 2008  | Definitely gives me enough of a 'gah what?' feeling that I want to look into it just to see what it's about. Advertising works. User was banned for: [NEW SCREENIES]Prototype [HOLY SHIT]. (Permanent) |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 730 Joined: 2 Jun 2008 | well, I'm looking forward to seeing more from it ( I enjoyed mirror's edge.) I have a feeling it won't be so much a survival game than one of these new cinematic style games coming a lot for the PS3 lately like Heavy Rain (which I'm really looking forward too) and all the other games with pretentious sounding names. |

Muckraker  Posts: 305 Joined: 10 Oct 2008     | I just played Fallout 3, do I need a modern day version. Who knows, it could be good, but it might turn out to be Fallout set in the modern day. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4643 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 |
Without the massive monster (hopefully!). |

Ha, when I saw the title of this thread this was the exact thought that went through my head. The game looks like an interesting concept and I am all for developers trying something a bit different. Think I will wait for a few more details first. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1656 Joined: 26 Nov 2008  | I've been interested in it, but like any other game, until I see more and it gets closer... I'm not going to start shitting my pants about it just yet. Hell, when I bought Fallout 3 I hadn't seen any gameplay footage yet. |

I thought it was "He died, oh, oh, but I, oh, I'm still alive" |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 743 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 |
I copied that from WikiLyrics, it could be nearly anything. I myself thought it was all 'oh's' 'I's' and 'I'm still alive's'. |
Muckraker  Posts: 248 Joined: 22 Nov 2008  | is there going to be a parkour level? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4643 Joined: 15 Jun 2008 | The reason I posted this was; the release date was originally March, so I doubt they will shower us with infomation. |
On the Record Posts: 5788 Joined: 9 Jul 2008 |
Saying "he died" makes more sense, because the line before that is "...your real daddy was dying." |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 743 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 |
Perhaps, but it may not make much sense in the whole, because the entire song isn't just about his father dying. |
Paperboy Posts: 25 Joined: 2 Dec 2008 | From What ive read about the game theres going to be very little gun play since there are few guns and barely any ammunition but u can scare groups of bandits away by waving an empty gun at them |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1098 Joined: 31 Mar 2008     | How could they not notice an earthquake until it starts happening? Was there an underground explosion? Why don't the healthy people simply walk somewhere else afterword? Where's FEMA? |

Also why the fighting over water last time I was in the awful city of chicago there was this massive lake...........Maybe blagovich(sp) is selling the reconstruction/relief rights to whoever gives him the most money /political humor |

It might, it might not. We'll see how its current counter parts do at EA do. Yes Mirror's Edge is not doing well but at EA had to do that to get some respect after their non-stop stream of "meh". That being said Ubisoft does know how to generate hype around a game, ala Assassin's Creed and Prince of Peria, so they might get more attention from the media. It's nice to see that some of the major studios have put some artistic license into their development schedules. I hope these companies and their products set an industry precedent (i.e. throwing more money at new IPs rather than sequels ever 18 momths). |

Possibly because the water would be undrinkable? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2370 Joined: 1 Aug 2008 |
Boil it and your good to go. Surely they still have fire. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1169 Joined: 2 Sep 2008 | I read an article on "I Am Alive" and it simply states the water and resources start to run out. I'm not too impressed with footage and information we've seen it just doesn't excite me really. Unless something more interesting comes along in the next preview I won't buy it. |

I Am Alive (previously known as Alive) is an upcoming action and survival video game by Ubisoft to be released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and ported to Microsoft Windows. The game takes place in Chicago after a major-scale disaster with a yet-unknown cause, and tells the story of a man named Adam. The gameplay is said to focus more on character interaction and problem solving. The game will also challenge players to make "life-changing decisions". The game was announced at the end of Ubisoft's E3 2008 conference.
The first trailer shows a post-disaster Chicago, where Adam is in what seems to be either a courthouse, judging from the statue of Justitia, or a financial institution, based on the dollar bills seen soon after. He is being chased by three men, who run into the scene saying "You know what we want." Adam, in response, throws them a plastic water bottle. The men dive for it, only to collapse through the floor, which is in fact a glass ceiling, into a pit. After that he continues outside and stares at the damage of the city. The trailer then cuts back to "six days earlier", with a yet intact Chicago, and Adam walking down the street with a coffee to make a phone call, only to be struck by an earthquake and a large cloud of dust.
Closer inspection of the trailer shows a background advertisement board containing the url www.ruaumoko.com, in reference to Ruaumoko, a Maori god whose movements cause earthquakes. A further reference in the trailer may be the coffee-cup scene from Children of Men.
Also, when the scene switches to "six days earlier" it is revealed that what appears to be one of his colleagues is one of the men that fell through the glass ceiling earlier in the trailer.

It was originally set for a March release but has been pushed back to October, what sets this apart from most survival games is the fact it is set in the first person.
I am intrested in other peoples opinions of this game (will it "bomb" like Mirrors Edge?), and any infomation you may have about it.
The below spoilers are articles on the game:
