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?

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!

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

He’s probably a big hairy bloke, though.
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.

…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.

What about ‘Still Alive’? Oh, wait…

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

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

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.

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

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

“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%

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

@ 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?

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

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?

The game still sounds interesting, by the way. Jade or no Jade.
Where was BG&E2 at E3, anyhow?
