Everything we know about I Am Alive

[lostassassin123]

Welcome to the 'Everything we know about I Am Alive' thread!

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/6482/iamaliveom4.png

Here we will try to sum up everything we know about this promising title for you! ^_^

First of all, all info containing in this thread is confirmed.
This thread will get updated as soon as any little peace of info will be out.

Second of all, sometimes it will be hard to keep up with the flow of info – it happens suddenly, so it will be really hard to watch out for everything in the massive ammount of information on the internet.
If you'll find some new info/interview/official artwork/trailer of the game confirmed by developers – post it here (don't forget to put the source)!
Your help will be appreciated!
Now that you know the rules, here it goes:

Basic information:

Developer: Darkworks (same team who worked on a survival-horror Cold Fear)
Publisher: Ubisoft
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC
Genre: First Person Survival
Release date: April 2009 - March 2010 (Ubisoft's financial year)
Modes: Single player
Players: 1
Rating: 16+ (PEGI)
Engine: Unreal 3
Official game boxcover: http://www.ubi.com/resources/binary/457/114493.jpg


Facts:

The game was previously known as 'Alive'.

I am Alive has been in development since 2005.

There will be sequel(s).

The game will be set in first person. Though, there is a possibility for third person gameplay elements. (To be confirmed)

The game is set in June 2009 and will take place in Chicago (whether partly or fully is unknown), where a 10.3 magnitude earthquake took place.

You play as a 27-year-old Adam Collins, an usual office worker.

After the earthquake you'll find yourself trapped in a high building. For 3 days on you will fight your way out in the open.

After the escape from the building, you'll discover that you're being trapped again. Comes out, during the earthquake Chicago was detached from the main ground and is now a lone Chicago-island swimming in the ocean.

The game revolves around finding your ex-girlfriend Alice, who may, or may not, be alive. Because you still love her.

Your second main goal would be to get off the island. The rescue operation failed (or didn't come at all(To be confirmed)), so you're on your own.

There are enough other survivors to make your life easier...or harder...
You will also have to gather together enough survivors to gain the attention of the government rescue teams.

The game will leave you several choices: rescue or not, steal or take by force, protect or attack, heal someone or heal yourself (due to the medicine and water being rare). All the choices you make in the game will affect what will happen to Adam and Alice.

There will be several factions, some of which you can align with, that were formed in the city. You can also befriend other stragglers.

There will be some kind of a camp, where survivors will gather to share food and sleep safely. The objectives will revolve around the camp at least from time-to-time (bring someone a bottle of water, so the person would not dry up etc).

At the current moment 3 more characters are known:
Riley - a young female doctor, she will do her best to help you and other survivors at the camp.
Virgil- an African-American former solider, he will try to protect the survivors.
Peter- a disabled ex-firefighter. It was his idea to build a camp.
They will give you information and goals to achieve (Additional quests).</span>

One of the ways of telling the story of Adam and Alice is through flashbacks. Whether they will be playable or not is unknown.

The game takes place over 9 days. That means no free-roam after the ending credits. Also the game will open and lock certain areas during your progress through the game.

There are weapons (Firearms, throwing weapons and everyday things can be used as a weapon too) and you can pick them up and shoot/hurt people. There won't be loads of ammo and health packs though, and the guns themselves are rare.

You can scare off people with an empty gun, if they don't realize there are no bullets inside.

You can only aim at one person at a time.

Water can either replenish health or be thrown away for distraction.

The cause of the disaster will be revealed throughout the game. (Just a nature disaster??? We'll see


Easter Eggs: (There already are a few!)

In the CG trailer we can see an Al Soljon poster (reference to Al Jolson, a comedian and musician who lived and died in the 20th century)

In the CG trailer we can see a 'Jazz & Blues' poster, which is actually a (slightly modified) copy of the real life one.
And it gives us some hints!
Like, the date, for example:
June 3rd. So, we must assume, the game takes place in early days of June. Of course, it's still just an assumption...
And the 'New Haven' could be Chicago?
Oh, these tricky Easter Eggs...

In the CG trailer we can see a sign saying 'www.ruaumoko.com', which is a reference to a Mäori mythology god of earthquakes and volcanoes – Ruaumoko, and also applications, specifically designed for earthquake engineering.

The story of the game spins around Adam and Alice. Now this may be just my imagination and coincidence, but if you mess up the letters a bit, you'll get:
Adam Alice = [A][d]am Ali[c]e =
[|][]am Ali[v]e = I am Alive

A good choice of names I'd say

Adam, the main character of the game, shares his name with the first man to be created by god, the first one to live. And now, when the mother nature got humanity cornered, he is one of a few to survive. The humanity is reborn, and Adam is again one of the first ones to live. The question is though:
For how long?

It's unreal how much hope i have in this game! I would have preferred Third Person though...I don't see how it's going to work without some huge gun infront of your face, which i don't want.

I found out from OXB mag that in the earthquake chicago is cut off from civilization like an island. I would say this is why the game would last 9 days and not 3 hours because you would think help would come straight away.

Where you say; "The story of the game spins around Adam and Alice. Now this may be just my imagination and coincidence, but if you mess up the letters a bit, you'll get:
Adam Alice = I am Alive".

Well did you actually look at the letters, because there is no V in either name plus the D in Adam or the C in Alice isn't used, plus you have an extra A - a nice idea though it doesn’t work!

[KaosTheroy]

Found some intresting info on Ruaumoko;

A term used for a state of the art suite of applications specifically designed to undertake dynamic research essential to working in the field of earthquake engineering.

Now, source?
Even though I'm pretty sure this term is named after the god of earthquakes. xD

[JamieWilmot]

Well, the way you're messing with the letters, quite frankly, you may as well say. "If you change the letters of Chicago, it spells I Am Alive!". The fact is, they wouldn't remove any letters if it was supposed to be an anagram.. Adam and Alice does not make I Am Alive, and it's slightly hypocritical that you told someone else nothing that is not fact will be posted, when you have posted (And even put it in the original post) that you believe Adam and Alice has something to do with the name being I Am Alive, when it is the ohter way around, in the way that it is actually a fact that the names clearly have nothing to do with the name. Not to mention, as far as I know, Adam's name was still Adam back when the game was known as "Alive", so that pretty much erases any of the tiny possibility that I Am Alive = Adam and Alice.

Oh, and how do you know that, if you don't mind me asking?
Firstly, I've never put it as a fact, nor do easter eggs have something in common with known information about the game, which has been proven true.
Easter eggs are something subjective, if you are not capable of getting that, then don't start an argument over something you don't even know about.
And secondly, you state information with no proof to gain you win in an argument and judge me? Well guess what, until you prove it to be true, I will see you as a pathetic liar. Good god...

[JamieWilmot]

And you, are not going to get the proof. I would of happily explained myself, but after your last post, it's not worth my time, because it will just make things worse. This is not an argument, and I was not starting an argument, it's called a discussion. Not every single disagreement has to turn into an argument. Another person mis-took what you said and corrected you on the Alice and Eve thing and you took it upon yourself to simply act like he had done something wrong, there was no need for the sarcastic "Geez" at the end. Politeness costs nothing..

Insulting me by claiming you see me as a "Pathetic liar" is really just not called for. And one last thing, you said nothing will be in the main post will be fact, easter eggs ARE facts.. they are what can be seen. For example, the Raukako advertisement CAN be seen. No matter which way you look at it, I'm sorry, but Alice and Adam is nothing like I Am Alive.

Anyway, I'm done.. I do not wish to start my time off on these forums by having an argument over something as miniscule as this. I apologise for anything I said that you took as offense, it was not meant in that way.

[lostassassin123]

Funny thing, you continued. All this 'not worth my time' was a lie. Again.
Except you didn't post the proof...but everything else seems fine.

And an argument is a form of discussion, I can't say anything to that.

Nothing to be sorry for, if you don't see it, doesn't mean someone else won't. It is how I see thing. Maybe I see what isn't there. Maybe not. But it stays as it stays, I see it as an easter egg, and there's no way that there won't be a person who will disagree or agree. Because EE's are subjective.

I thought i was the only one that thought he (lostassassin123) was trying to hard to draw parallels between Adam and Alice = i am alive. Yes, i slightly see it but... no. Like Jamie Wilmot said "it's like saying 'chicago = I am alive!'". http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gif

Keep my points in mind... or not (probably not):
1. Get over yourself, you're not a high school pre-madonna.
2."I Am Alive" only equals "A_am Ali_e" With leaving out an "I" and an "V" and you would still need to find a "C" and a "D" for Alice and Adam....
3."Adam Alice = I Am Alive" is NOT a fact which i believe you said this forum was for.

I will likely be ending my membership(if you can call it that) to here now, i just wanted to give you a heads up that JamieWilmot is not out of his mind for his post AND I KNOW you'll be quoting that last sentence and it'll go something like this

Well I didn't intend to start an argument over something as simple as "Adam Alice = I Am Alive" if you mess up the letters a bit.

Though if my understanding of the above quote is somehow wrong then I do apologise, but no matter how you "mess" around with the letters given in the characters names you will NEVER get an extra letter that isn't there (V) that IS a FACT.

I didn't say I couldn't see how you came up with that idea - but where is your source other than your own personal opinion?

And my source for the Ruaumoko info I gave can be found at;
www.civil.canterbury.ac.nz/ruaumoko/ (http://www.civil.canterbury.ac.nz/ruaumoko/)
It’s a code name given for earthquake engineering a simple Google search will give you multiple hits if you need further proof of this.

Though the name has roots in mythology I believe that this game is kept within the realms of reality, but of course that is my personal opinion.

I look forward to seeing an unbiased collection of KNOWN information on what looks to be one of the best games I’ve seen in a long time.

The first things that came to my mind:
1.It's a timed PC exclusive (PC version coming out march and the console version following late 2009, early 2010).
2.Just a mistake? LOLOLOLOLOL?
3.They forgot to update the release date.
4.The 7-9 days thingy is kept in secret.
7 days officially, last 2 days are hidden in the game or devs simply don't want to give away the plot in the bloody description.

haven't read all the posts,
but in regards to Ruamoko.

he is the unborn child of Papatuanuku (the earth mother). And his kicks inside the womb of his mother are (in legend) the earthquakes on the earth.

I know this for a fact as I took Maori studies in school here in New Zealand. And i am part Maori.

Papatuanuku is part of the maori myth of creation.
Same as the Christian myth of god creating the world.

Hiya! I joined the forum for the sole purpose of replying in this thread - I've been following it for quite some time now. All right, here's my bit of contribution-

*The game is set in June 2009.
Source: http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=7399

*There is a "Jazz & Blues" poster in the E3 trailer(at about 1:25). Here's an image-
http://i42.tinypic.com/aom4uo.jpg

Actually, the background suggests it to be this very poster-
http://www.gnhcc.org/images/posters/Jazz-and-Blues-Spring-Concert-Poster-Print.jpg

Not really much of an easter egg, but it is something.

I've found a few more, but I'll dig up more info before posting again.

Finally, great work on the thread, lostassassin123!

Honestly, I don't think it seriously matters information-wise, but this post better be not deleted. It's still a good little piece of knowledge.

[Jord2332]

I KNOW that amazon are offering pre orders for i am alive and claim the release date is on July 31 so when the game is shipped out.

Surely Ubisoft have to tell places like amazon the release date so maybe this is the actual date.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Am-A...ox-360/dp/B001CZF1TM (http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Am-Alive-Xbox-360/dp/B001CZF1TM)

[lostassassin123]

Facts, not speculations.

[Jord2332]

Earlier on in this discussion, i think a majority vote would establish that you too have been making speculations.

My comment was a fact followed by a speculation and i thought it would be useful to know but clearly your arrogance is clouding the part of the brain that would generate a comment like 'Thanks' or 'much appreciated'.

[lostassassin123]

Wow. Let me end this right here:
Until Ubisoft or Darkworks will name the date, it is a speculation.

A majority vote? Interesting.
If you call EE's section being a speculation, then you are wrong.

Aw, you want a 'thanks'? Well, you have to earn it first. Good luck.

[Jord2332]

Haha i never denied it was a speculation, i think you need to get your facts right. I said it was a fact followed by a speculation which it was.

I think you will find that a speculation is a message expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence which is exactly what your strange idea about Alice and Adam somehow equaling I am alive is.

Hasnt it hit you already, some how you keep ending up in arguments with complete strangers on this website and haven't you wondered why this is happening.

Well let me enlighten you, apart from the very accurate description of being a pre madonna, suggested earlier in this post, you are too negative, did you have a troubled childhood - its the only explanation in my eyes.

How about you start pointing out the positive parts of other peoples post rather than picking out each negative point one by one and explaining how they are so wrong and you are so right.


And how about you be a decent human being for once and let this go because anyone would agree you are clearly in the wrong here.


I hope you will have the decency to take something POSITIVE away from this.

[Jord2332]

Dont get me wrong, im sure you are a nice guy, everyone has their good and bad qualities but sometimes you come across as very argumentative and arrogant, which i find rather irritating.

[lostassassin123]

Well, I pointed out it was a speculation for the sake of pointing out.
It just doesn't belong to this thread.

Now I won't even touch the you-know-what-I-am-talking-about thing. I had enough.

And me getting into arguments or debates has a much more simple explanation:
It's the best way to learn a language.
Even by the cost of being disliked and stepped on countless times.

Troubled childhood? Now that was as random as being invited to a Gurken Salad party. I can't even say that it has ended without feeling unsure, me being 15 years old, while until you hit 18 in where I live, you're still counted as a child in many ways. Stop with these psychologist games, as you clearly fail at them.


And how about you be a decent human being for once and let this go because anyone would agree you are clearly in the wrong here. Now THAT was really low.
Trying to end our 'discussion' by passively insulting me is just being a 'decent human being'.


I hope you will have the decency to take something POSITIVE away from this.
Don't ever do anything for the sake of others, because their needs and wishes will never be fulfilled, thus making you their ever hated jester.
Positive for me, I suppose.

Edit:

Dont get me wrong, im sure you are a nice guy, everyone has their good and bad qualities but sometimes you come across as very argumentative and arrogant, which i find rather irritating.
Well, if that isn't a 180° turn.
I explained me being argumentative above, and I won't deny me being arrogant under any circumstances. Even if you find it irritating, that's just how I am. After all you still see me being a nice guy (yay for Gurken Salad). Comes out this week has a happy-end after all.

[Jord2332]

I was trying to give you a sense of how you are being perceived in some of these threads. Phycologist games? I was merely being straight foward with you.

The whole point of a thread is to share your views/opinions with others and respect other views/opinions. I feel you havnt done that on numerous occasions by making uncalled for comments.

Lets have a fresh start because this isnt solving anything. If you do decide to continue with the uncalled for, sometimes insulting coments i will choose to ignore them although i do stand by most of what i said.

I do apologise for the childhood comment, spur of the moment thing, im 15 too. And the only reason i made the comment about the decent human being was because i think that any decent human would be polite on threads. I know thats being hypocrtical, because i havnt exactly been polite in my last post lol but you need to accept some of the blame for this argument too like i am doing now.

So back to the original purpose of this thread:

Anyone got anymore FACTS on I am Alive?

[Jord2332]

What was that about the best way to learn another language?? I have been called argumentative before and never had a good come back: last thing then back to I am alive.

I simply take it you overlooked that post. Nothing wrong with that, though.
There is no other place where we could discuss the game, plus there's me posting unrelated stuff all over this thread.
We SHOULD do a 'discussion thread', created for any related, or not, discussions and arguments.

Having a fresh start won't work.

Quite simple. I came to the forums to learn a foreign language (english).
It was a Ubisoft forum, out of many, because it was also fun.
You know, talking about your favorite games and stuff.
And with fun comes wish.
And with wish comes success.
And I can say I'm pleased with my choice.
This forum has both.
Or, should I say, had both.

With time people left.
With people left the main part of my 'jorney':
Language.

So, I had to sacrifice fun for language, getting into arguments even about silliest (read: stupidest) things.
With arguments or debates you learn many word constructions and yet you have an instant chance to use them in a response to whoever you learned them from.
I can't say I enjoy argumenting.
Nor I can say that I wanted to get into every single one of them.
Calling me 'argumentative' is right at the current moment.
But I do have reasonable explanation behind it.

[Jord2332]

Haha, well i guess you can take something positive from what i said.

Wow, i think your journey is over, your English is outstanding for a 15 year old considering it is not your primary language and i find it almost hard to believe that you are telling the truth.

How long have you been learning?

How did you know how to say stuff like Pwetty pwease?

[lostassassin123]

That is really nice to hear. =]

I heard english for the first time in 7 years.
It got me really interested, so I wanted to learn to speak it.
But I had NO source where I could learn it from.
The english is starting in school from the 7th grade and we had no internet back then.
But at my 9th birthday I've got a PS1.
Everyone was speaking in english 'in there'.
So I just heard them speaking and tried to guess what they said.
If you can call that learning...then that's how it started. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
I couldn't even 'speak' it at first, only understand the basics of the basics, thanks to games. And they were also fun! xD

Later on I could speak through repeating the phrases I heard from games. And subtitles learned me how to write.
And then there's internet.

You can look at one of my first posts (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5251069024/m/5671061394?r=3781060695#3781060695), if this does prove anything. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Not necessarily. Video makers often leave random stuff in, just to make it look more real. In fact, it may be the result of a spray tool just moved in a random manner, if you know what I mean.

On the other side of the trash can, we see this-

The 10.9 may be a misprint. It's 10.3 everywhere else.

I was with you too http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif. But it got REALLY weird sometimes - poor Lost had to use brackets and stuff in the 'info post'.

Info on IAA is getting rarer than banknotes in Zimbabwe! Are any are posts going to be worthy of saying "I am Alive"? Please........don't........mods!.......I.......ple ad........you..... http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/sadeyes.gif

Another preview of the game in this month's issue of PTOM, but not much was revealed. -_-'

[amolang]

but what did it say? every little drop of info helps!!!

[ThePheonix1030]

Pretty much the same thing that is on the first page of this thread. Glad the game has not been sent to oblivion just yet. <_<

Something that's new to me is a lone gun with no bullets used for bluffing. That'll be interesting.

[GM_Pax]

In the CG trailer we can see a 'Jazz & Blues' poster, which is actually a (slightly modified) copy of the real life one. Surprised
And it gives us some hints!
Like, the date, for example:
June 3rd. So, we must assume, the game takes place in early days of June. Of course, it's still just an assumption...
And the 'New Haven' could be Chicago?

Actually, the image you refer to also mentions Yale University, which is an Ivy-league school located in the city of New Haven, Connecticut.

A long, LONG way away from Chicago ...

Damn it! I spent DAYS looking for some hint on this thing, but sadly, I had misread it - 'sahora'. Aaarghh, the frustration!

As for the statue in the previous post, wikipedia said it was Justitia, but that part has now been deleted from the article. I looked at all statues I knew of in Chicago and sadly, I couldn't find this one. But there was one which resembled it. The trailer is probably set in a courtroom - this doesn't tell us anything about the game, actually.

Correction - I posted that 'Jazz & Blues' poster. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

By the way, one of the first songs in the performance mentioned in the poster was Chicago, from the movie of the same name.

So, I guess our clever video-makers searched the internet for anything related to chicago, and put the stuff somewhere or the other in the trailer.

Awww, but all the info you posted was in the first post for quite some time before, no?

Thanks Pheon, now I feel awful...

[dtisalive]

All right, I thought I should pour in some fresh info into the dying embers of this thread.....(sorry for the excess P.B. Shelley - I'm still recovering from the ezaminations shock http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif )

- There are multiple solutions possible to solve "puzzles" and stuff(whatever http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/shady.gif) in certain situations.

This one's different from the 'different choices' one already posted by Lost - that one varies from helping or not, killing or saving, etc. This one is rather like HOW you save or kill a person.

- The game starts in central Chicago and, as you explore, new areas will slowly reveal themselves.

- Some confirmed locations include parking structures, a shopping mall, a hospital and office towers .

- You will be able to revisit previous areas later in the game in order to complete objectives that you may have missed.

I'll be back with more(if I can).

Edit - Forgot to mention the source -
http://www.gameplayer.com.au/g.../090325Iamalive.aspx (http://www.gameplayer.com.au/gp_documents/090325Iamalive.aspx)

Edit 2 - More stuff now! Not really info, but screenshots(not gameplay, obviously).

Peter the fire-fighter(in the wheelchair). We can also see part of Riley and some other guy(Virgil or Adam?)

Here's the 'Chicago River' in the official site's background some of us were trying to photograph.
http://x360magazine.com/games/i_am_alive/screenshots/screenshot_3_preview.jpg

And some more artwork which I feel has not been shown already(I'm not sure about the first one - it seems as if I've already seen it).

And some info too - this is from an article AT LEAST 4 weeks old - IAA is about 80% complete. The same article mentions the developers as Darkworks, which we know is no longer true. When did that change of developer actually take place?

In any case, expect to see some(actually, considerable) IAA at E3 2009 - 2 to 4 June!

Thanks. So now we know that as of early March, the game was about 80% complete.

Now, a few more thoughts. The game is set in June 2009, as this (http://www.ubi.com/US/Games/Info.aspx?pId=7399) page tells us. It also mentions the release date as August 2009 and the developers as Darkworks. Ubi aren't updating this link, lol! Back to business - can this "June 2009" stuff change? The other info on the page has.

I initially thought that Ubi wanted the game to be set a month or two after the release date, just to build up hype. Isn't that idea in danger? And now with all that AC2 stuff, this part of the forum will NEVER catch attention. http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

Facts:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">The game was previously known as 'Alive'.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">I am Alive has been in development since 2005.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">There will be sequel(s).</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">The game will be set in first person. Though, there is a possibility for third person gameplay elements. (To be confirmed)</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">The game is set in June 2009 and will take place in Chicago (whether partly or fully is unknown), where a 10.3 magnitude earthquake took place.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">You play as a 27-year-old </span><span class="ev_code_BLUE">Adam Collins</span><span class="ev_code_GREEN">, an usual office worker.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">After the earthquake you'll find yourself trapped in a high building. For 3 days on you will fight your way out in the open.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">After the escape from the building, you'll discover that you're being trapped again. Comes out, during the earthquake Chicago was detached from the main ground and is now a lone Chicago-island swimming in the ocean.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">The game revolves around finding your ex-girlfriend </span><span class="ev_code_BLUE">Alice</span><span class="ev_code_GREEN">, who may, or may not, be alive. Because you still love her.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">Your second main goal would be to get off the island. The rescue operation failed (or didn't come at all(To be confirmed)), so you're on your own.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">There are enough other survivors to make your life easier...or harder...
You will also have to gather together enough survivors to gain the attention of the government rescue teams.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">The game will leave you several choices: rescue or not, steal or take by force, protect or attack, heal someone or heal yourself (due to the medicine and water being rare). All the choices you make in the game will affect what will happen to Adam and Alice.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">There will be several factions, some of which you can align with, that were formed in the city. You can also befriend other stragglers.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">There will be some kind of a camp, where survivors will gather to share food and sleep safely. The objectives will revolve around the camp at least from time-to-time (bring someone a bottle of water, so the person would not dry up etc).</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">At the current moment 3 more characters are known:
*</span><span class="ev_code_BLUE">Riley</span><span class="ev_code_GREEN"> - a young female doctor, she will do her best to help you and other survivors at the camp.
*</span><span class="ev_code_BLUE">Virgil</span><span class="ev_code_GREEN"> - an African-American former solider, he will try to protect the survivors.
*</span><span class="ev_code_BLUE">Peter</span><span class="ev_code_GREEN"> - a disabled ex-firefighter. It was his idea to build a camp.
They will give you information and goals to achieve (Additional quests).</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">One of the ways of telling the story of Adam and Alice is through flashbacks. Whether they will be playable or not is unknown.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">The game takes place over 9 days. That means no free-roam after the ending credits. Also the game will open and lock certain areas during your progress through the game.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">There are weapons (Firearms, throwing weapons and everyday things can be used as a weapon too) and you can pick them up and shoot/hurt people. There won't be loads of ammo and health packs though, and the guns themselves are rare.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">You can scare off people with an empty gun, if they don't realize there are no bullets inside.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_green">You can only aim at one person at a time.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">Water can either replenish health or be thrown away for distraction.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_GREEN">The cause of the disaster will be revealed throughout the game. (Just a nature disaster??? We'll see http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )</span>[/list]

<LI><span class="ev_code_BLUE">In the CG trailer we can see a sign saying 'www.ruaumoko.com', which is a reference to a Mäori mythology god of earthquakes and volcanoes – Ruaumoko, and also applications, specifically designed for earthquake engineering.</span>

<LI><span class="ev_code_BLUE">The story of the game spins around Adam and Alice. Now this may be just my imagination and coincidence, but if you mess up the letters a bit, you'll get:
Adam Alice = [A][d]am Ali[c]e =

Anyone following this game would have undoubtedly seen the links for the new images. Now here's some info about them-

1. They are gameplay shots(but possibly cropped)! Not renders! http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
2. But the source is Darkworks, not Ubi Shanghai. So the images may not be totally relevant.(They are actually from a beta test on X360 and PS3)
3. Ubisoft is still keeping up the secrecy, and has contacted sites to get rid of the images.

In any case, check them out. They're beautiful!

EDIT - Some new info. Let me warn you, I cannot confirm it. Anyway, here goes-
Some "mysterious government organization" is involved in the game, which supresses violence in disaster-struck Chicago.

I'll be back with more!

EDIT 2 - It seems that this game is no longer being developed for the Playstation 3 !

The article jigh23 is talking about says that a darkworks employee lists I Am Alive in his projects, and its year is given as 2011.

Also, it's not merely 2010. It's the 2010 fiscal year. So that makes it April 2010 to March 2011. There may be an early 2011 launch.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a8/I_Am_Alive.jpg

That's the new cover work they have on wikipedia, it also says it will be released in the second quater of 2010. I know wikipedia isn't always a great source for fact, but yeah, it's not as bad as people claim it is.

This is getting ridiculous now, however.

Seriously getting stuck inside a building doesn't for 3 days doesn't work, so yeah your most likely going to run into a building because you think its safer but unless your stuck on the top floor it will not work, unless the door and windows hapen to be jammed with pieces of Earth and cars.

that comes to another thing make certain cars drivable if you have the parts and fuel (like a starter motor or another tire) or a bike or a BMX for that matter. unless it got crushed by some sort of unconvenient piece of falling skyscraper.

Hey everyone. I'm quite new to the Forum so yeh hows everyone doing http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif i have been having a browse around and found some interesting things. On like the signs in the trailer etc, I noticed something as well i don't believe any one has shared yet. If they have i'm sorry for wasting your time. But i'm like 98% sure the main guy chasing him him in the first part of the trailer, Who says "You Know What We Want Adam" Is the same guy who says "I'll See You Up Stairs Adam" I don't think this is of much importance, But i thought i would share it any way!

[kopimi]

"Chicago, June 2009. A 10.3 magnitude earthquake destroys the city and shatters your life as an ordinary citizen. As the rescue mysteriously fails to arrive, you are trapped in an environmental and social chaos that gets worse by the hour. Your only way out is to set up a massive refugee camp to hopefully attract rescue’s attention.

You will need to find resources and organize survivors to create your headquarters. In the midst of Chicago’s ruins, you’ll have to both preserve and sacrifice in order to survive during 7 days. Rescue, heal, protect, kill, ambush or steal. But first, try staying alive.


Key Features


The city is falling apart all around you! Survive the earthquake and its aftershocks, the collapsing buildings and the devastating rifts in this never before seen hostile environment.

Make your way through social chaos. Evolve among other survivors in an urban jungle where there are no more rules and where violent groups dictate their law.

Learn to survive. Use tactics, diversion and discretion to survive against the odds.

Rescue or hunt. In this new era where everyone is for himself and where water is gold, hunt for precious resources, save people in distress and restore order to unify survivors in one base camp."

Sounds excellent. Ive waited so long for a survival game, Something more then "shoot this, kill that for this, blow up that to win" etc hopefully its going to be a sandbox style game ( I prey for multi, or 3-4 co op AT LEAST) with a world full of fellow AI trying to stay alive when the world around them has stopped, meaning search/ fight for food water and other resources.. tools, items, fire, med kits etc?

This game is now coming out in the 2nd Q of 2010. Shame the game is only set over 9 days. If thats true.

I also agree with Madurjafro369 when he said
that comes to another thing make certain cars drivable if you have the parts and fuel (like a starter motor or another tire) or a bike or a BMX for that matter. unless it got crushed by some sort of unconvenient piece of falling skyscraper. That would be incredible. I really hope more info is released soon and the date is completely confirmed by ubisoft. This game could potentially be much a much bigger hit than assasins creed 2 if they would publisise it more

[ARSNLFC8]

okay I havent read of the thread but what i read i feel like commenting.
1. in the opening post it saysAfter the escape from the building, you'll discover that you're being trapped again. Comes out, during the earthquake Chicago was detached from the main ground and is now a lone Chicago-island swimming in the ocean." Chicago would float in Lake Michigan Unless the whole eastern part of the country disappeared
2. someone said they say a river or lake going through the city.- Chicago has a river that runs through it also known as the Chicago River.
3. In the original post with the "Easter Eggs" it says that it is possible the location is Chicago.-Well the coffee cup Adam is holding in the Trailer says "Chicago Fresh Brewed" and you can see the L and many other recognizable buildings from Chicago

sorry if anyone doesnt like this. I just like to correct people about my Home

I have a theory. I think Chicago didn't destroy. I think all the world is destroyed and Chicago is the only place left. ?t explains why the main character's name is Adam. The first human. And explains why didn't anyone come to rescue them. I know it is a little bit absurd but, it is a theory.

As for the character would be great to go in the third person because you get more freedom of movement firsthand.

This game (If it comes out 2010) will be among the top three.

The top three being, itself, Bioshock 2, and Red Dead Redemption. We-All-Know Bioshock 2 is going to be overrated (Sequels to excellent things are never good) and may win anyways, Red Dead Redemption is a sequel to a crappish game (Well I liked it anways) and I AM ALIVE is going to be a new and original thing.

Pretty sweet eh?

Yeah, I saw that on the Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Wiki page, but they didn't give any reference to Ubisoft's upcoming game. I contacted one of the Admins but I guess a little reference isn't very important...

Developer Darkworks was booted off the project and I Am Alive was handed to Ubisoft's new Shanghai studio.

I read a post saying that the game will only be released for xbox and pc, is this true? I want to know because I have a PS3 and I'm not going to buy an X-BOX just for I Am Alive.

[Sharkteeth08]

I Am Alive is probably.. still alive! Check out the brand new gameplay trailer in HD :

I Am Alive will be on Pc or not ?

[SkylairtoV]

I Am Alive will be on Pc or not ?

unfortunately no, but from what I've read Ubisoft has expressed interest in eventually doing PC version.
i think it has something to do with all the pirating that happens with PC games, good to hear developers are starting to take a stand against people illegally downloading their games.

[sam542012]

Hey Please Some One Tell Me This Game is In Pc or not

[patchcookie]

THEN IT'S TIME TO MAKE A STAND FOR ALL THE XBOX AND PLAYSTAION 3 ILLEGAL GAMES OUT THERE INCLUDING I AM ALIVE FOR THE XBOX WAS PIRATED THE DAY AFTER IT WAS RELEASED.
I have a pc and I have never got a free game for it. I do not use pirate sites because I believe that everyone should get paid for the work they do. Having said that I think ubisoft are just making excuses!!

[patchcookie]

NO mate it seems this game will not be coming out for pc. Maybe pc users should make a stand against ubisoft for there comments that ALL PC USERS ARE PIRATES!!!!!!!
