I Am Alive Coming This Year, Exclusively Digital - UPDATED
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I'm quite relieved that it's at least getting some release. Almost every "survival-action" game has some kind of sci-fi or overt horror element to it (Dead Space, Allen Wake, Resident Evil, hell even the Half Life series), but it looks like this is the first time that a survival game will just focus on the horrors that humans can create all by themselves.
I think they lack faith in SALES of the game...rather than the game itself.
Digital is smart business practice to take with iffy titles.

Kind of not good news... it looked like a whole lot of fun, and this probably means there's something wrong with it... but at least it will probably be cheaper?
Argh! Stop saying Ubisoft sucks because they don't have faith in the game. They never said that!

Interesting, and good to know. It's still a cause for concern, though; getting the game to fit into XBLA size limits means content has almost surely been cut. Unless the plan is to go episodic? If so, consider me hopeful that it doesn't come out on the PC. I've had my fill of that crap.Fynnen said:
We'll see what, if anything, Ubisoft has to say about it.
I did. I call it the "You Guys Translation Service." Thanks, you guys!ShadowKirby said:
I think this is a great initiative. They have sunk money into it and they should try to recoup the cost as best they can. I think they should release this on the PC and offer up some modding tools so people can improve it beyond what they have done. You can't blame them for not having faith in a product, which despite the updated portion of it, they definitely do not. They can save themselves a lot of money with going by digital distribution only. That is why indie develops do it. I wish I knew more about the game though.
Really? I think it sounds very interesting. (Or did, at least.) Sort of a Mirror's-Edge-meets-Fallout kind of thing, maybe. Besides, it's hard to judge it a waste of money when you don't know how much money it will cost.
I didn't forget, and was just waiting for something new to pop up about it, though I admit I thought it was a dead project after all this time. Either way, I'll be sure to keep an eye on it- I'll be happy as long as "Digital Release" means "Steam Release". I like all my games in one place.
It wouldn't be very unlikely either, most ubi games are available on Steam already.

Im not even a graphic whore but that looks shocking. It looks like they got Vice City and shoved it in a new game.
Maybe that's why they won't launch it full retail, because people like you won't buy it because it doesn't have enough polygons?RabbiiFrystofsk said:
I have been looking forward to this game. Its sad that it will be download only but at least its looking like we will get to play it.
