Despite the bitching, I Am Alive has been dated for PC

IncGamers: Ubisoft has confirmed that post-apoc survival game I Am Alive will be released on PC on 13 September.

The PS3/360 edition of the game was released back in April of this year, to mixed reviews.

You may remember that in November of 2011 I Am Alive’s creative director Stanislas Mettra told IncGamers that – following complaints about a lack of a PC version – he wasn’t sure whether PC gamers would actually play it.

His exact words were...

Why bother?the game released with so many flaws.

JohnR4253d ago

i thought it was pretty good

Moby-Royale4253d ago

I agree. I enjoyed the demo.

I remember thinking "I can see why they switched from full retail to downloadable".

That being said it was still fun. I never got around to buying it. I probably will now on one of the platforms.

JsonHenry4253d ago

My procrastination has paid off. I will buy this on PC. I remember liking the demo and then just forgetting about it due to other games/life in general.

SilentNegotiator4253d ago

And they say that people wanting to play their game are "bitching" for asking for a version on the platform they have?

They speak lowly of the customer as they port a mediocre game to their platform?

That's ridiculous.

aliengmr4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

"It’s hard because there’s so much piracy and so few people are paying for PC games that we have to precisely weigh it up against the cost of making it."

Nice. You want PC gamers to buy your product after saying the vast majority are criminals? Hmmm, I suddenly lost interest this game, wonder why?

“We’ve heard loud and clear that PC gamers are bitching about there being no version for them”

Wow, just wow. No really, tell us what you really think.

Ducky4253d ago

If only they would open their ears to the DRM bitching too.

aliengmr4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

But you would think they would try NOT being a total dick to the people they want to buy their game. They're acting as though PC gamers should feel blessed they even considered the PCs existence.

I'm with you on the DRM.

CrazyInsane4253d ago

According to ubisoft logic , this game should be F2P on pc to increase revenue.

tachy0n4253d ago (Edited 4253d ago )

so what if their games become F2P to PC?

TRAINERS FTW!

CrazyInsane4253d ago

No what i mean is that they are contradicting themselves . They just said a couple of days ago that 90% are pirates,but now they announce the game on pc ? Why not make it F2P just like what they said they are investing in ?

LostDjinn4253d ago

"Despite the bitching, I Am Alive has been dated for PC" - What do they mean? It's done? It's over with?

I imagine Ubisofts' bitching has only just begun.

fossilfern4253d ago

There is plenty of pirating on the 360 too. This guy is a crying arsehole

iamlegend99994253d ago

Not really, microsoft fixed that a long time ago.

Rivitur4253d ago

It's still going on Microsoft only temporarily resolved it you can still get hacked profiles with games on them.

iamlegend99994252d ago

But it takes more effort than PC though. All you need for PC is the torrent then boom. You got it. For console's you have to go through so many processes to get the game you want.

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.

SgtPepper18062753d 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.

Angerfist2753d ago

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

buttcheeks2753d 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

IamTylerDurden12753d ago (Edited 2753d 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.

Perjoss2753d ago

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

Deadpooled2753d ago (Edited 2753d 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.

DragonbornZ2753d ago

They cant. After years of console wars they think that kind of discussion is normal.

senorfartcushion2753d ago

Fanboys are idiots (yes, you too)

Deadpooled2753d ago

Oh nooooooo! I am a victim of the wrath of SeniorFartCushion! The guy called me an idiot!

Lol.

What you gonna do? Put me on a long list of people on this site you hate?

xMANB3ARP1G2753d ago

What's funny is live free games turn to crap in a faster time period then plus watch xbox fanboys ignore that.

XanderZane2753d ago

Lmao!! What!?!? That made no sense what so ever.

zb1ftw7772753d 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.

DeeBeers2753d ago

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.

Deadpooled2753d ago (Edited 2753d ago )

Now I'm not allowed to comment on comment sections? Who made you the ringmaster of comment sections? Not liking what others have to say and trying to stop it is against people's right to free speech and calling out others on their BS.

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.

DeeBeers2753d ago

Who said you weren't allowed to comment? Easy there hot stuff.

Perjoss2753d ago

Most of us are just gamers who enjoy games, its people like you that think you're fighting some kind of war LOL

get a grip mate and go play some games, you might even have some fun.

Deadpooled2753d ago

*goes on Perjoss's comments* - sees he/she is pro-Xbox

Don't bother trying that 'innocent' go play some games angle to try and discredit my original point.

Perjoss2753d ago

Keep going, read some more of my comments and you'll see that I'm also pro PS4 and pro PC, trying to label me an MS/Xbox fanboy is funny because if anything in the past I've stated that I dislike MS for numerous reasons. Keep fighting your war though ;)

If this was the PS+ lineup ppl would be rioting. This gwg lineup is absolute garbage, i'm shocked.

2753d ago
XanderZane2753d ago

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. Now they've taken a step back in October with these Indie games. Some are good, but others are meh. Not a great month for GWG, but I'll still play a couple of these games. I'll definitely play Resident Evil Remasted and Tranferformers: Devastation on PS4 this month.

game4funz2753d ago

Because it was many months... Many months. This is so far 1 month. It's not hypocrisy toll the same situation occurs.

But many here are recognizing it sucks. Many of these Xbox fans you mention.

UCForce2753d ago (Edited 2753d ago )

Well, it's decent offering. But it's just lackluster this month.

IamTylerDurden12753d ago

C'mon man if this was the PS+ lineup ppl would be revolting and calling it utter trash. This lineup is atrociously bad. Mega baseball and a super budget pixel game?

game4funz2753d ago

Only because it had been trash for the last year. Don't compare the two.... If The next 2 months are trash too then that's when you can begin to compare.

BossBattle2753d 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.

nix2753d 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.

optimus2753d 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.)

nix2753d 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."

IamTylerDurden12753d ago

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

Red_Renegade2753d ago

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

BossBattle2753d ago (Edited 2753d 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.

Doabarrelroll2753d 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

IamTylerDurden12753d 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.

Stogz2753d 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...

game4funz2753d ago

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.

BTW just report the people that responded you with fanboy like comments. They're insecure and need help. Don't waste your time replying to their jabs.

senorfartcushion2753d ago

No but stop complaining about the monthly courtesy games. Complain about the £40 games with microtransactions.

xMANB3ARP1G2753d ago

Damn straight or endless paid dlc to a bare bones base (looking at you destiny there are worse offenders and to be fair I haven't tried the new dlc and have 0 want to.
