The Entertainment Software Rating Board has released their rating summary for I Am Alive, revealing a few new gameplay details as well as several mature contents in the upcoming title.

Sounds this game gonna end up just like Dead Island or Dukem Nukem +4 years in the making (more in case of a Duke) with many delays, and at the end we will get poor to decent retail product everybody gonna forget faster than they could read the title of if...

Actually, I think it will end up like Alan Wake; 5 years in the making, ends up being a highly unique, critically acclaimed and commercially successful game with a strong following who have been waiting patiently since it was first revealed.

I'm happy that a lot of people liked Alan Wake, but I just couldn't get into it. I think I'm spoiled by better showing of facial emotion and it really just turned me off.

Dead island was great. Just needed more testing to get it working

[TheClown]

It's a game from Ubisoft so it doesn't matter how long it took to make as it will still suck just like all of their other games this gen.

[GoldenGamer]

If the ESRB has rated it doesn't that mean it's quite close to coming out?

[Tigerfist]

The gameplay sounds really generic.

[Laxman216]

Please inform me of other games that sound like that. Enough for it to be be considered 'generic', that is assuming you understand the meaning of the word?

[Tigerfist]

I was refering to gameplay... Do you really want me to name games that have finishing moves, quick time events and melee/ranged combat?

Hmmm, ok let's see... How about almost every single modern action game?

I bet this game is getting a karma system as well. Again, something I've never seen before in modern gaming.

Choosing between killing and neutralising enemies? The new Deus Ex for example...

Are you trying to discuss the game plot? It's not like I have enough information to comment on that one (and we are posting in a "new gameplay details" topic") but "post-apocaliptic violent world" isn't exactly new stuff to me either.

[Tigerfist]

I forgot to mention one thing though... If they actually deliver on the promises of a good survival system then I will gladly eat my own words.

So, judging judging solely on this article I will keep my point, but the game is yet to be released so we will see.

"sexual mistreatment is sometimes implied in the dialogue (e.g., “These guys kept me as their pet, or mascot, or something.”)"

.....wut? That sentence doesn't imply sexual anything.

[JellyJelly]

To me it does...

[GoldenGamer]

If a woman said that to me I'd instantly take that as sexual.

[Laxman216]

When you realize the world is not actually a good place, the phrase 'guys kept me as their pet' can mean some terrible things.

[ElementX]

ESRB summaries are stupid and only this examiner reporter submits them. Boo, hiss!

[SilentNegotiator]

They tend to bring some more specific info on the game. Why are they "stupid"?

[Kluv]

I thought this game was vaporware?! WTF?! That's good news!

[AriesSiren]

im so happy its going to be in 3rd person perspective!!
