I AM ALIVE – Survival action game for the PS3

For a game that’s familiar with release delays, I Am Alive has once again been delayed – this time until at least April 2011.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated via conference call – “We have been totally re-engineering the product, so it is still on the way. It will use the Splinter Cell engine. We think it can become a very good quality product.” This statement reeks of overall project uncertainty, so I’m starting to feel a little doubtful of its release at all. The “Splinter Cell engine” that Yves is referring to will be first seen in Splinter Cell: Conviction. It also doesn’t appear that Jade Raymond (of Assassin’s Creed fame) will have anything to do with the final version of I Am Alive. I’ll try to dig up more information about the game development life cycle directly from the source (Ubisoft Shanghai) as I’m interested to see how substantial the “reboot” of the game is.

Here’s some “I AM ALIVE” screenshot images that I found. These are mostly environment pics likely work from Ubisoft Shanghai’s level design department. These were released back in the summer of 2009. I will continue my hunt for more media for this game, for now – enjoy!

This blog has been created as a means of providing information about Ubisoft’s upcoming survival action game – I Am Alive. I’ll primarily focus on the PS3 format of the game, however I will also touch up on the XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, and PC versions as well. On a weekly basis, I will be providing any information that I can dig up about the game – including screen shots, videos, gameplay footage, etc. Once the game is released (TBD 2011), this blog will then be a source for hints, tips, and strategies. For now – head over to Ubisoft’s official website for the game at I Am Alive Game and check out what looks to be an awesome survival game. Stay tuned!
