Rumor: I Am Alive cancelled for PlayStation 3?

AKA Death Angel - 99 days 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.

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.

> 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.

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.

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!

Oh man Rainbow Six was a disaster. I regretted buying that game for $20. Luckily I traded it with an old Sixaxis for a Dualshock 3. Ubisoft games are hit or miss. Sometimes they're great, sometimes they suck, then there's Assassin's Creed which is a bit of both :P

*sigh* You know Rainbow Six Vegas was one of the first PS3 games that Ubisoft worked on so obviously its not going to be perfect... Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was almost identical on both platforms. Only differences were PS3 having more color and 360 having better shadows.

mastiffchild - 98 days 19 hours ago

Ubi don't have a problem with the programming anymore-not in my opinion-but they don't make anything that I've really found entertaining for an age now.

I know peoplewere enthusing about IaA when the first(and only ever footage)trailer dropped last year but I wasn't so convinced. To me it looked like another idea that Ubi would probably get badly wrong and not fill in enough. Like Farcry2 which looked great across it's platfoms it seems to me like quite a big game idea with a probable area size tomatch and with Ubisoft that tends to boil down to all the effort going on the enviroments looking pretty and the gameplay being repetitive, wooly or both. I'm also praying that AC2 isn't the borefest the first game was and the ONLY game on any platform I'm actually looking foward to from Ubi(as they don't seem to want to admit to making BGaE2!)is the delayed(perenially) SCC-which, if I only had a PS3 would be much more of a disappointment to see go to 360 exclusively than IaA.

It's pretty likely, however, that Ubi would announce this kind of thing rather than let it seep out as something which could look like a typo or a human error, isn't it? Atm I tink even timoir is a litle strong for this story but as there's no more information about what thje actual game might be like I'm not worrying too mich either way as, on current form fromUbi, this could easily end up underwhelming like a few others connected with Ubi this gen-anything they touch on Wii, AC, POP and FC2 off the top of my head and which absolves them from any Haze blame too!

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.

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.

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.

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.

ZuperAmazingCooKie - 98 days 19 hours 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.
