I got my Feb issue of Official Playstation Magazine today, and i just thought i'd write the article thats inside.
"The brief white-collar apocalypse trailer for I Am Alive shown at E3 raised questions rather than answered them. Who's this guy Adam? Why is he being chased by a gang of scruffy commuters? And how come Chicago's become a ruined pile of devastated skyscrapers?
Well, Ubisoft has finally started drip-feeding info. Like the fact that the hero's full name is Adam Collins, a junior executive caught up in a giant eathquake that has reduced the windy city to rubble. With the power out and no way of communicating with the outside world, Adams to-do list contains just two items: number one, find his ex-girlfriend Alice, because he still secretly loves her (honestly), and number two, survive.
The really interesting thing is that the gameplay looks like it'll be a smart combination of survival horror-style problem solving and intelligently designed moral conundrums. How so? Well, generally speaking Adam's definately a good guy - he'll be helping survivors to build a refugee camp to attract the attention of potential rescuers. But there will ve choices along the way, like when he's confronted by groups of looters, or, even more interestingly, when it seems that protecting innocents isn't necessarily the best course of action.
Translating these ambitions into hands-on playability will be a serious challenge, and no concrete details or footage of how it works have emerged yet. But so long as they definately include bits of massive buildings collapsing around you, and the ability to take sweets and/or water away from hungry bankers, then we're in."
It's not really 'new' information, but i just thought i'd share it with you, and when i find some more info i'll post that too http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
Sorry if there is any spelling mistakes.
Thanks
