Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

This turned into an XBLA/PSN game?

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

Can anyone confirm a release date on this? And possibly a price?

Ubisoft's release date doesn't match I Am Alive's Facebook release date...which doesn't match I Am Alive's Wikipedia release date, which doesn't match websites dedicated to release dates release date....

And on and on and on...

Any idea when we can expect it?

[JBH3]

I really am looking forward to this game....I really need a game like this to break the monotnomy of dungeon crawling and zombie bashing. Something like this seems right up my alley.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

I just started downloading the trial, I'll post some impressions after work.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

The IGN Review said it was terrible.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

The IGN Review said it was terrible.

The kotaku review was better...I'm unsure on this game, sounded kinda cool, but getting totally conflicting reviews...Metacritic's got such a wide range of scores, this is really odd

Anyone play it yet?

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

I was reading about this in Game Informer the other day and it seemed like a pretty cool game. I'm looking forward to impressions.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

just played the Demo, I thought it was very entertaining. Some interesting game mechanics and story. May eventually get this one but not right now, to many other things dropping right now.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

Just played the trial and it was pretty interesting, but I don't know if I'm going to pick it up just yet.

[goh]

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

If it wasn't for the lawd awful design and even worse controls this would be pretty good. In overall scope it feels like they could've done a lot more with it and gone places games have yet to really go. Hope there'll be a PC version,might be able to fix this.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

So the impressions so far are mixed at best too huh? Im waiting on the demo to download.

[JohnDoe8865]

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

So I played thru the demo. It was enjoyable, although I can certainly see the limitations. The mechanics of walking and navigating around the world could certainly have been smoother. I can also see why the game was paired down to a 5 hour XBL Arcade Game instead of a full retail release. There are a handful of ideas and gameplay mechanics that I can see will be repeated during the full game. Not enough content for a 10-12 hour game without some serious level padding, which I'm glad Ubisoft opted not to do.

Overall the interesting story, the unique setting, and the feel of the demolished world will probably have me eventually buy the full version. Just not right now.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

I'm thinking about buying the full version tomorrow, I'll read a couple reviews first.

EDIT: Video review from Gamespot looks pretty good.

Re: I Am Alive (PSN/XBLA)

IGN should be embarrassed with their review in comparison wih Gamespots. Gamespot took the time to get immersed, paint a picture while still acknowledging the games wonkiness at times. IGNs reviewer sounded like a high schooler who spent 15 minutes with the game. "controls are a b****" he's says.....really dude?

I mean I know it's what we expect from IGN, but wow.
