Ubisoft’s I Am Alive Still Exists, Rated by the ESRB
I Am Alive, a third-person action game from Ubisoft that has been dormant for far too long has just been rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB.
This comes as a bit of a surprise, as we haven’t heard anything official from the publisher about this game in a very long time. The Entertainment Software Rating Board’s description of the game is as follows:
This is an action game in which players assume the role of a man who must find his family in a post-apocalyptic world. From a third-person perspective, players traverse through city ruins and use a machete to kill human enemies in melee-style combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, slashing sounds, and cries of pain; characters emit brief splashes of blood when hit. Players have the ability to kill or knock unconscious wounded/vulnerable enemies via finishing moves (e.g., throat slashing, impaling, pistol-whipping); these scenes are highlighted by close-up camera angles and increased player control (e.g., on-screen prompts with button-press sequences). During the course of the game, players encounter women who can be saved from nearby enemies; sexual mistreatment is sometimes implied in the dialogue (e.g., “These guys kept me as their pet, or mascot, or something.”). One sequence depicts the background silhouette of a man fondling and threatening a captured female survivor; the exchange includes phrases such as “Do you hear me? Don’t touch me!” and “Don’t be like that. You know I can make your life a lot easier if you would just cooperate.” The words “p*ssy,” “f**k,” and “sh*t” can be heard in the dialogue.
This is certainly good news for anyone who feared the game would never see the light of day. It’s just a bit strange that Ubisoft still has yet to update consumers on the game’s progress.
We’ll keep you posted as more info comes our way.

I thought they cancelled this
why does everyone always say this even though they are constantly announcing that the game isn’t canceled.
Thank god they made it third person again. Perhaps they realised it would suck ass as a first person game. Not that first person games suck just that I Am Alive based on their concept wouldn’t work as first person.
The big problem that Ubisoft just dosen’t get is that they are not doing the games designers behind this any justice. The longer we wait for any gameplay the more of a disapointment it’ll seem if it dosen’t match the anticapation. I Am Alive risks falling into the woodworks, falling behind on the latest trends in gaming. Nobody will be willing to buy a game that as of yet hasn’t shown us as much of a slether of gameplay.
I’m excepecting an open world third person action adventure. I’m hoping it turns out to be something that’ll challenge the likes of Uncharted (in terms of action and visual style) and Red Dead Redemption is terms of it’s open world, I’m aware of how far off this sounds from what we’re most likely going to get BUT I CAN DREAM!!
I Am Alive can do well but before it can Ubisoft needs to do some damage control and show off some gameplay before intrest in this goes down. A trailer or just anything to give us some idea of what this game will be like and when I say trailer I mean involving some form of gameplay.
Woo! I’ve been wanting to hear more about this game.

Don’t they only rate games when it comes out in the next few months?
Usually, but technically they can rate the game whenever the company submits their report to ESRB. ESRB doesn’t actually play all these games, the developer just tells them what the bad stuff is that’s in it, and ESRB passes judgement on that. It sounds hokey, but if the dev lies they get fined, so I guess it works.
