Ubisoft has released some new screenshots illustrating I Am Alive. The title launches this winter for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network and will not be getting a PC release.
I'm sure underneath all that filtering there is plenty of color.
Sometimes I wonder how people consider that kind of thing "good visuals".
I mean, just because you can do it, doesn't mean it should be done; this isn't 2006 anymore, where dev's are like "ooh, look what we can do now!".
Yeah yeah, it's a budget title. The point is, it looks like one.

Or maybe it should be done because that's the direction the artists wanted to take it in?
Shades of grey and obvious mediocrity, not a very good combination at all. Sorry Ubisoft but this project should have remained dead and I could have lived (if you pardon the pun) with the idea of what it could have been.
This. Seriously, it's verging on being black and white. I'm fine with monochromatic visuals such as gears or killzone. But this is set in the real world. A natural disaster or whever the fuck happened in this world wouldnt suddenly suck all colour out of everything. You can be dark and gritty without being black and white. It's almost some sort of parody on "next gen" games like the naughty dog filter you could unlock in uncharted.
Maybe this game works the opposite, maybe when we finish the game we'll unlock a 'normal' filter to replace the black and white one.
I honestly thought they added a detective mode or something identical before clicking the picks.I hope it can be turned off as well,i want the game to be good though.
So Ubi aren't releasing this for the PC stating that it's not worth their time plus that PC piracy is to blame (as if consoles don't suffer from this)! So glad because this looks total arse *sticks two fingers up
