Rumour: I Am Alive to debut in Leipzig

VG247 has been reliably informed this morning that Ubisoft’s first-person survival game, I Am Alive, will make its first proper appearance at Game Convention in Leipzig next month.

Ubisoft has declined to comment on the talk, saying it has no information on the game.

I Am Alive was announced at E3 last week. I first CGI teaser was seen at the show which does nothing more than outline the game’s premise, a post-earthquake scramble for survival in San Francisco.

Games Convention takes place on August 20-24.

The video’s after the break. We’ll have more on this soon.

    Bit tedious this isn’t it? Surely the game can stand on its own without “token hotty” producer?

  2. Blerk said:

    It’s all the other buggers who work on the games for no recognition that I feel sorry for.

    Anyway, this could be good. Looking forward to seeing what they’ve been up to!

  3. SticKboy said:

    It’s a sorry state of affairs when the Producer gets more recognition than the Lead Designer, that’s for sure.

  4. Blerk said:

    He’s probably a big hairy bloke, though. :-D

    Watched the trailer again and yeah… I’ve got good vibes. I’m imagining something that’s a cross between “SOS: Final Escape” and “28 Days Later”, with a bit of “Poseidon Adventure” thrown in for good measure.

    Crap name, though. Should’ve called it something else. Just ‘Alive’ would’ve been better.

  5. SticKboy said:

    …or even “I’m Alive” would have a better flow to it. “I Am Alive” makes it sound like being alive comes as a surprise.

  6. Blerk said:

    What about ‘Still Alive’? Oh, wait…

  7. Tiger Walts said:

    Must say, that’s a rather nice picture of her.

  8. Whizzo said:

    A title of “Alive” to me would suggest some South American rugby cannibals in rather parky conditions on a mountain.

  9. Blerk said:

    And that would be bad because….?

  10. Whizzo said:

    I don’t think that’s the game they’re making, I’ll have to watch the trailer.

    “Alive: The Video Game” would be rather depressing though.

  11. TheDifficult3rdAlbum said:

    Is the actual official title of this game going to be “Jade Raymond’s I Am Alive”? That’s awesome! I’d buy it.

  12. Blerk said:

    Perhaps you have to “rescue” Jade? From the ruined city? :-)

    Achievement Unlocked: Zero Suit Raymond.

    “It’s all the other buggers who work on the games for no recognition that I feel sorry for.”

    but they get to see her every day, must improve the sexy quotient of the development team by infinity%

  14. Psychotext said:

    El_MUERkO: Have you ever had to work around sexy women that you can’t screw? It’s not nice. :P

  15. Quiiick said:

    @ Blerk
    I agree! The name is crap. And so is the “logo”-design!
    Hoping they change both …

    And why does every site always use the same old picture of Jade, over and over again?

  16. El_MUERkO said:

    there is no ‘cant screw’ only ‘wont do what is necessary to screw’

  17. Wasn’t this confirmed NOT to be Jade Raymond’s next? Or did I miss something about that being a double-bluff and it now IS?

  18. patlike said:

    Whoops. You’re right. I completely missed that.

  19. patlike said:

    *edits*

    Apologies. My very bad.

  20. scratchy69 said:

    Now THAT’S service.

  21. Psychotext said:

    El_MUERkO: No… there is “I’ll lose my balls if my other half finds out…”

    Talking of screwing (up). Nice job Pat!

  22. Blerk said:

    Wait, what? Where do we get our Jade fix now, then?

  23. Psychotext said:

    Jade Redmond?

  24. patlike said:

    I always knew she was a Microsoft fangirl.

  25. Blerk said:

    The game still sounds interesting, by the way. Jade or no Jade.

    Where was BG&E2 at E3, anyhow? :-(

  26. patlike said:

    You won’t see that for a while, I reckon.

  27. Syrok said:

    This will definitely be there a very reliable source just told me. Namely the USK. :)
