Rumor: I Am Alive cancelled for PlayStation 3?

Although the game was originally announced for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the official Ubisoft website now has the game listed as PC and Xbox 360 only. Could this mean that the PS3 version has been cancelled? Has Microsoft signed for a long-term exclusive contract? Hopefully we'll soon find out next week at GamesCom 2009.

TruthSeeker5363d ago

I hope Microsoft did sign along term exclusive contract. I Am Alive looks like an awesome game and Xbox 360 always welcomes new exclusives. We need something new and fresh and stop living on the same franchises. I think you know which ones i mean.

JokesOnYou5363d ago

Sometimes its just a simple error and its gets updated frequently, but who knows.

youngmoney105363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

I really hope it's an error cuz I only have a PS3. I was looking forward to this game for various reasons(new IP, survival-based, interesting concept, somewhat rarely-used location, etc.)

Elimin85363d ago

Will only be confirmed to be a RUMOR.. nothing but......

Parapraxis5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

@ AKA Death Angel below,
You happily jumped all over it with a silly comment as though it'd be great if PS3 owners wouldn't get this game.
Stop being a hypocrite.

ultimolu5363d ago

AKA, how about asking Microsoft to actually keep their first party studios instead of dropping them? Then you'll actually *see* refreshing games.

As for this...it's slated as a rumor. I haven't seen much of the game anyway but it sounded interesting the last I heard about it.

Baka-akaB5363d ago

"I Am Alive looks like an awesome game"

Regardless of exclusive deals , I dont see how can anyone claim that based on ... well ... nothing at all but some mysteriously vague trailer .

el zorro5363d ago

Gintoki, why don't you take that crap somewhere else? This hasn't even been confirmed and it certainly hasn't been proven to be due to Microsoft. It could just be a business decision. Maybe they were having problems with the PS3 development of the game and they decided to focus on the 360 and PC. Who knows. I think it is pretty sad that you actually have people agreeing with you.

Atomic5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

Nobody wants Ubisoft games anyway , they turn into a borefest rather quickly.
and seriously guys, when did we start anticipating Ubisoft games , their latest games never taught you anything?!
Assasins's creed = repetitive
Far cry 2 =repetitive
prince of Persia = repetitive QTEs

I was just bored Its just an article and a game not life

And welcome to my ignore list.

Christopher5363d ago

Extremist side A

Dude, it's totally awesome that Microsoft is making sure to keep this totally freaking going to be sell 8 gabillion copies game! This game would suck on the PS3 anyway and would cost more to make than they'd make.

Extremist side B

This is just an error. If it isn't, f*ck Microsoft for throwing money around again.

Man, you guys pull out the most idiotic comments when any rumor comes along.

Defectiv3_Detectiv35363d ago

IDK, im not anticipating I Am Alive that much, never was a fan of Assassin's Creed, they're both made by the same team.

usern4g5363d ago

> how about asking Microsoft to actually keep their first party studios instead of dropping them?

How about Xbox 360 owners ask MS to fund great games no matter where they are being developed instead.

This diversity leads to better games, and more competition.

Gobbling up Studios, to prevent them from being able to Develop for other platforms is anticomeptitive and stifles innovation.

MS's model -- to write deals to get great exclusives -- CLEARLY brings better results. Better sales. Better reward for gamers and Devs alike.

Stop being such a rigid thinker and open your mind and your eyes. Their is nothing immoral, illegal, illogical or ill-conceieved about MS saying "focus on our platforms and we'll provide funds" when they see a great project bubble up.

Anon19745363d ago

Only for it to wind up being a typo. And not even a link to an actual article. Just a paragraph and a link to Ubisoft. That's hardly an announcement but it is classified as a rumor and this is how rumors get started, I guess.

JD_Shadow5363d ago

But you're saying that you HOPE that MS DID sign an exclusive deal! Not sure how that would help anyone's case seeing as how that's kind of underhanded.

I could see getting exclusive DLC (since MS seems to be into doing more of THAT than anything else, too), but to have something like that happen? That I think shouldn't happen.

krisq5363d ago

Someone @MCV speculated it's completely cancelled. I guess GamesCom is the place we'll find out.

RememberThe3575363d ago

The US site doesn't have any platforms listed. and the only listings AI could see where on the forums and that listed all the previous mentioned platforms.

indysurfn5363d ago

Very interesting. Maybe they are not promoting it on the site until they see if they can get a better license deal with Sony maybe? I don't think it is canceled!

masterg5363d ago

God I wish Microsoft would wize up one day.
All they do is buy. How about doing something new instead of just buying something that is comming anyway. The only ones that loose is the gamers.

JL5363d ago

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this here or not but....this is a false alarm. Check the site and they have it listed for PS3 again now.

DaTruth5362d ago

Creating new studios ends with more games for gamers, whether exclusive or not; Buying games with already multiplatform developers, less games for some gamers, this adds nothing to the industry.

But I don't really play multiplats, so it doesn't really matter to me. I would actually prefer they both have fully exclusive titles and I just buy both systems, but that wouldn't be good for everyone who can't!

sunil5362d ago

Rumor - is only a rumor

yes, who cares?
we know nothing about this game, it's part of "Imaginez" for all i know.

-MD-5363d ago

We know more about it than "Agent" yet you guys are super excited for that.

Atomic5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

^^^@murdertrolls
We know that Rockstar is heaps and bounds more talented than Ubishaft.

PirateThom5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

Agent is being developed by Rockstar North, who have history, they have a strong back catalogue, so the final product has massive potential, the same way people are excited for Halo Reach without knowing anythhing, it's Bungie, they have history.

I Am Alive is Ubisoft Shaghai's first game, they have no development history and have shown nothing of the game bar a teaser, which showed nothing of gameplay... or even real time.

-MD-5363d ago

Well how about we just assume the game will be good.

It's like you guys are HOPING the game turns out bad. Which to be perfectly honest... is pathetic.

ZuperAmazingCooKie5363d ago

After all, those owning a PS3 are being neglected by Ubisoft *if* this is true, especially after PS3 is their biggest revenue generator. So why would PS3 owners feel indifferent, especially after giving Ubisoft their money and then getting the shaft?

Anyway, here are a few truths to remember:

RockStar North = Talent.

Jade Raymond = Attention whore (nothing else). I love how her games get a lot of attention even though Assassin's creed turned out to be a mediocre game, shiny visuals but no substance, just like her, hot on the outside, dumb on the inside.

-MD-5363d ago

So if the game isn't on your console of choice you want it to fail? You want every non PS3 game to fail?

In other words you want people to be fired and you want studios to shut down.

SaberEdge5363d ago

I hate how people arrogantly proclaim that Assassin's Creed sucks, as if they are the final judges of such things. How about saying "I didn't enjoy Assassin's Creed" so it doesn't come off so abrasive and like you are shoving your opinion down my throat? I happened to really enjoy Assassin's Creed and it generally received positive reviews and high scores.

Ubisoft make some of my favorite games. If they don't appeal to you the same way that's fine, but don't act like your opinion is fact.

At this point I can't say that I am excited for 'I am Alive' because I don't know a whole lot about it. But I am intrigued simply because of Ubisoft's pedigree.

BTW, 'I Am Alive' is in no way "Ubisoft Shanghai's first game". They have developed quite a few games, including Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and Splinter Cell Double Agent.

ZuperAmazingCooKie5363d ago

Why would I care about somebody that didn't care for me in the first place? I couldn't care less if Jade Raymond is fired. She should have advocated for me in the first place. Besides, if the game bombs, it's their fault, not mine. It just so happens that if they fail, they will realize they could have saved their job by going multi. I'm not a hypocrite though, I also think Haze should have been multiplatform, maybe that could have saved Free Radical. The 360 audience would have probably eaten up that FPS and it might have gotten better scores if the game had less glitches compared to the PS3 version, as Ubisoft seems too incompetent to deal with the PS3 anyway.

As for Assassin's creed, it was hyped as a revolutionary game and instead we got repetitive missions, a sh1tty storyline (there's good Sci-fi, like Mass Effect, and then there's CRAP like Assassin's creed), but hey, at least it has great graphics right and flashy moves? i.e. it's a polished turd; Jade Raymond actually said PS3 couldn't do what she wanted it to do, and then some PS3 exclusives came out that shat all over her claims about Artificial Intelligence on the PS3 (and on her tits too).

Then again, this might be a good move if it's a timed exclusive on the 360, that way they take their time with the PS3 in order to learn how to do that version differently (as they should) instead of rushing crap out of the gates like they did with ASsassin's creed and satisfy both audiences instead of ruining the experience for both. I don't get why anyone is excited about Ass' creed 2 anyway.

ultimolu5363d ago (Edited 5363d ago )

It's funny that 360 fanboys like solar, Flop_of_the_Year and others want people to care about this game when we haven't seen anything yet which suggests it might be good.

I pretty much made that list because I'm playing all of those games and the world won't end if this game is canceled for the PS3.

Sorry, but life goes on for me.

And Flop_of_the_Year, sorry but I only have a trucker mouth for assholes like you.

The "Rumor" and "?" portions of that headline, because they are sure treating this like a legitimate fanboy conquest and are busting some blackheads in their fanboyic gleefulness in the process.

But really, what else do they have to get excited over? Its no longer about what exclusive, top-notch titles are being developed for the Xbox 360. Now its all about "What multi-platform titles aren't making it to the PS3" that sustains their pitiful lives.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for October 2016 any good?

Neil writes "October. The busiest time of year for new game releases. And this year is no different with a huge number of titles releasing over the next 30 days or so.

So you can't really blame the team back at Xbox HQ for delivering a bevy of Games With Gold titles that really do fail to enthuse many. In fact, whilst the free Xbox One and Xbox 360 games given away during September were pretty damn decent, October's free titles will quite possibly go down as one of the worst combination of Games With Gold titles this year."

Where are the fanboys previously calling out PS+ as indie+ etc for many months this year, to complain about Octobers GwG indie line-up? Hypocrites.

SgtPepper18062760d ago

PS+ had indies for months and months, then big games for October. Xbox had big games for many months, then indies for October. Strange change of pace, but GWG has been way better value for most of this year.

Angerfist2760d ago

This. The last few months were bad on PS+. Also with an Xbox One you get 4 Games per month.

buttcheeks2760d ago

Soooo we're on the tenth PS plus / gwg offering Xbox only gave away big games four times so far and Sony has three times how is gwg a way better value this year

IamTylerDurden12760d ago (Edited 2760d ago )

Umm last month had Lords of the Fallen and Journey. Before that PS+ had NBA 2K, Yakuza 5, Oreshika and other big games. Don't twist reality.

At Angerfist,

September was great for PS+ and PS+ gets SIX games per month. 6 > 4.

Perjoss2760d ago

Or maybe just be mature and not bring up any fanboy crap, thats always an option

Deadpooled2760d ago (Edited 2760d ago )

Why not bring it up? We're on a gaming comment section, and my comment is perfectly related and acceptable to the topic in question. Maybe you don't like the hypocrisy being called out but it doesn't mean that others don't want it. Fanboys be calling shit on their opposition for months but when it turns back on themselves they fall silent.

zb1ftw7772760d ago

Because 1 month containing a great little indie title after a huge number of excellent triple A free titles is not the same as every single month containing 4 turd indies.

The End.

What's up with every article being topped by a comment where one fanboy calls out other fanboys for being fanboys? How about instead we do Snarky comments like "what's up with this article containing words?" Or "what's the deal with everyone breathing air? Copycats." Fantastic job looking all but hurt and depressed though.

Ironic that your username is the same (although a very slight mis-spelling) as the company who market scams people all over the world into making them think diamonds are precious and a sign of 'everlasting love', to make people 'think' what the company wants them to think so to spend vast amounts on an engagement ring.

Sony had tons of Indies for like 4-5 months before October's much better month. Microsoft was killing it the past 3-4 months with retail games.

I'll definitely play Resident Evil Remasted and Tranferformers: Devastation on PS4 this month.

BossBattle2760d ago

I noticed that when Xbox has a major release like Gears of War, MS releases weaker games on Games with Gold to get you to play Gears. While Sony gives you better games to stop people from playing Gears. Both Sony and MS do this.

nix2760d ago

Not exactly. You can download the PS+ games and play later. You don't even have to download them to be exact. You can just put them in queue.

optimus2760d ago

@nix... you can do that on xbox live too...
What Bossbattle said is correct. gaming publications say the same thing...and it makes sense, why would you give away a high profile game in a month when they are releasing a high profile game to the masses?...I'm willing to bet that november will have some stellar games with gold to overshadow the release of the playstation neo (i'm not calling it pro so deal with it.)

nix2760d ago

My point was, getting an old highly anticipated free game is not going to stop anyone from buying a new game.

I mean who is going to say "oh my God I'm getting Resident Evil free on PS+. Lemme not buy Gears 4."

IamTylerDurden12760d ago

Why don't ppl take issue with how MS only allows you to download certain games at certain times?

Red_Renegade2760d ago

sony doesn't care about gears. why should they?

BossBattle2760d ago (Edited 2760d ago )

Because Sony knows Gears is a system seller. Gears has sold more than Uncharted. Uncharted 4 most likely put the series ahead of Gears. But that'll change once Gears 4 releases. And keep in mind that Uncharted released on more platforms including PS Vita but Gears managed to sell more.

Doabarrelroll2760d ago

@boss
And one GT outsells three Forza's which is released yearly, yet Xbox gamers still look at forza as better and say sales don't measure quality.

Funny you guys bring up sales of a franchise only when it fits your argument

IamTylerDurden12760d ago

Bossbattle

Don't compare Uncharted 4 to Gears 4. Gears 4 won't sell anywhere near what Uncharted sold and it won't get anywhere near the review scores. Gears 4 is not an Epic game, it's made by a new, ragtag developer and it shows. Gears 4 has always looked like a shell of its former glory. Gears 1 and 2 were great, but Gears 4 has mediocre written all over it. The voice acting, the combat, the visuals, it's all subpar. They copied every animation from Gears 3 instead of leveraging current gen hardware and creating new and better animations. The protagonist in Gears 4 is paper thin and even Laura Bailey sounds bad, it sounds like she just mailed it in. The game won't score above an 81 on Metacritic. It's only hope is that mp is fun, but this is not Epic's Gears of War, ppl need to realize that.

Stogz2760d ago

@BossBattle "And keep in mind that Uncharted released on more platforms including PS Vita but Gears managed to sell more." More platforms including Vita??? You mean only on Vita? No other platforms, and Gears has had 4 major releases including that horrible turd Judgment. Besides, I thought you xbox fanboys didn't care about sales? Oh that's right only game sales matter now, you guys are ridiculous...

It is interesting. MS is releasing a big game so that would be why.

And Playstation isn't releasing much so they figure maybe they can take out bigger hits and hope it negatively effects gears playtime. Many console gamers have both consoles so it is entirely possible.
