I Am Alive proves it is in fact not dead

The suspiciously vapourous survival adventure game I Am Alive has suddenly surfaced on the reliably leaky Australian Classifications Board.

PlayStation Lifestyle noted the classification, which rates the game at MA15+ for strong violence.

The game is listed as multi-platform, and was rated yesterday.

The Classification Board requires games to be in a finished state before submission, so we can probably expect a release date announcement within the next few weeks.

I Am Alive casts the player as a survivor of a mysterious destructive force which has struck Chicago.

The game began development at Darkworks, which has since gone on to make its own survival game, Black Death. Ubisoft Shanghai took over the project, but has been tight as a clam since then despite repeated requests for updates. We’ll try again.

Earlier this year it was reported that the game would release via the console networks, but this was soon revealed to have been a joke. The last official update pegged it for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 release earlier this year.

Thanks, Eurogamer.

all these games that takes a very long time to be developed, half of them end up being disappointing.

But atleast you’re not bored with them before they even get near the console.

If it’s being rated wouldn’t that mean that it was basically pretty-much finished? Which is somewhat concerned considering we’ve seen ‘bugger all’ of it.

I smell an absolute stinker.

Quoted “which rates the game at MA15+ for strong violence.”, so even last couple of days ago, California Supreme Court overrules the stupid law about no violence games can be sold to a minor, and guess what.. even a 14 smart-ass punk can pre-order this game and there is no Retail that can refuse to sell to a minor, or that punk will sue that retail of 1 Amended of the constitution of the United State of America…

So FORGET THAT BULLSHIT ABOUT “RATED”…. it’s up to the parent to block those games, and guess what, we’all lives in a free world, as long you pay the bill and taxes, everybody is happy….

I’m still holding out hope for this game, for the premise alone. Seen as that’s all we’ve really been shown.
