In the whirlwind of Syndicate, Binary Domain and Mass Effect 3 releases you might have forgotten that survival-action game I Am Alive is also coming out in just over a week. The game, having been lost and forgotten only to pop back up on our radars last E3, is finally about to see the light of day, and Ubisoft Shanghai has a new 'Making Of' video to give you a little perspective on what we can expect.
Currently, I really like what I'm seeing. The focus seems to be on pure survival-action, with a heavy tilt toward the survival aspect. Weapons and ammo look to be in short supply and you'll have the ability to handle crowds of enemies by using intimidation with your weapon -to save on ammo if necessary as well as taking them down traditionally.
There seems to be a heavy dose of both exploration and verticality in the areas, and I also like the way they are handling climbing in the game, which is utilizing stamina in a Shadow of the Colossus way. A welcome reprieve from the 'hold A and go' method which has been popularized in most games we're seeing now.
So, do you think you can find a little time away from Mass Effect 3 on March 7th to give this one a shot? I'm pretty sure I will. As of right now I Am Alive will be arriving for download on XBLA. A PSN version is said to be in the works but no release date has been announced.

This has me more impressed than any previous videos of the game. I think they might actually have something unique here. I really like the idea of using a weapon to bluff or intimidate, or to even using your judgment to figure out which people you can avoid fighting overall.

How I wish this were to be released on the PC...

Something about all these obviously foreign accents disturbs me. That aside, however, this has convinced me to buy the game when it comes out. Couldn't be any worse than American Nightmare.

Never been out of Murikuh, Kitten?
Anyways, I'm digging this so far. Hopefully it's non incredibly linear (getting the feeling it will be, anyway). It's not S.T.A.L.K.E.R., but I'll take it.

I keep getting a Alone in the Dark feel from this game. I can't quite put my finger on why but I have a feeling it would disappoint me so I'm just going to wait and see the reviews.

I've really been looking forwards to this, but I kinda wish they hadn't ditched the original style they were going for (top picture).
Also, PSN please. D:

I'm hoping a PSN version is released because now I'm actually interested in this title again. The use of intimidation seems like a really interesting strategy, and I hope it's excecuted well!
