She's doing science and she's still alive. Jade Raymond is a name that hasn't been heard much since Assassin's Creed, but the word on the street is that her new project, I Am Alive will be revealed by Ubisoft at E3 and comes from Darkworks, the same studio responsible for Cold Fear. It is scheduled to be released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. A first person survival game, I Am Alive is set in Chicago after an Earthquake and isn't a heavy-weapons affair. A rather lengthy video is said to be planned, but it seems unlikely that we'll see anything playable until Leipzig. My colleague Jonathan Holmes says I Am Alive is the worst title for a videogame ever, but Savant protests, naming Touch DIC as a far inferior name. What do you think, readers? I Am Alive or Touch DIC? Which do you prefer? |

I think it's silly that earthquakes would be in Chicago. Other than that "I am Alive" is a silly redundant title.
wouldn't mind it if Jade Raymond worked on Touch DIC, if you know what I mean.
hohoho
That sounds more like the Subtitle to Portal 2 XD. But I thought she was a producer of AC not just a PR monkey.
I bet the main character dies at the end. Just for laughs.
I prefer to Touch DICs. Its the only reason I Am Alive.
Double Whammy!!
@topgeargorilla: Nothing about the phrase "I Am Alive" is redundant, actually. Now, if it was "I Am Alive I Am Alive I Am Alive" then you may be on to something. Otherwise, no dice.
*insert crude sexist joke about Jade Raymond here*
Hopefully it won't suck as hard as Assassin's Creed.
They probably want to call it "Still Alive" but can't because of Portal.
The game being set in Chicago might make it an automatic buy for me. I hope it won't suck.
Cold Fear isn't much better :d
There's heaps of shit game titles, I am Alive, redundant as it is, isn't even close to the worst.
Touch DIC is the greatest name every therefore I am Alive is worse.
How could you not like Touch(ing) DIC?
Jade Raymond (and the ridiculous cult following she has) gets on my nerves so much....
Why are we reporting on her specifically? She is t3h suxorz, is she not? Next time that guy that made Space Giraffe starts working on a game, I want his face slapped on the front page with 4 sparse paragraphs detailing what he hasn't been up to. You know, to show that we really care what people that head bad games are doing, and not just that we think they're attractive.
I can't help but think dirty things when I scroll down to this from a Wii vibrator article...
@B-Radicate
It is redundant, because being able to speak means that you are alive, hence, it is redundant to say it.
I think "I am Alive" is redundant. Otherwise, why would the person be saying it. I mean, I am alive, but that's stupid, because why else would I be writing in the first place?
Touch DIC. By far the greatest video game ever.
All your girlfriends/wife play it with me :]
I am alive, on the other hand, sucks.
"Otherwise, why would the person be saying it."
Because an Earthquake hit that one assumes killed a lot of people? It really doesn't strike me as hard to grasp the title's meaning.
The bigger news here is that Chicago is finally getting some video game love. Chi-town is clearly the new hotness.
I am looking forward to seeing the video to I Am Alive debuted on Lifetime.
Top notch reporting as usual Jim! You're right! I suppose geeks will find her arousing, won't they! (LOL)
Seriously though guys, she's french. So there's nothing to see here.
Waiting for I Touch BHAG - The Game (based off the movie, not the tv series).
I love you, too, Jade.
If jade sucks as hard as ass'creed...
but seriously that name doesn't sound THAT bad i think :-)
"Touch DIC" is obviously the superior name. Jade Raymond can...oh, I'm not even going to try.
I like the title of the game. It's different.
But please, don't let me interrupt your witty banter, and incredibly funny jokes! A few more of you pointing out how much assassin's creed sucks should help the thread reach it's highest possible funniness potential.
PS: Don't forget to constantly point out how hot Jade Raymond is. It kind of reminds me of the way Frito Pendejo likes to 'bang chicks.'
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade!
Why can't there be an article with Jade that dosen't mention anything sexual!?!? I know people who comment will bring it up, but editors can at least be respectful and not just say anything even if they are being sarcastic. I think it just feeds into the whole silliness!
Too bad it's not called "Staying Alive" with the BeeGees doing the soundtrack
Nopk makes a good point.
*sexual joke*
Ammirite guys and one-in-ten girls?
"I think it's silly that earthquakes would be in Chicago"
Not so, there was a midwestern earthquake this year a few months ago, and it was felt in Chicago. It woke me up that night, and I live on the south side of the city but people in Chicago felt it too. Chicago was miles away from the epicenter of the quake, but there is a major fault line where the Mississippi meets the Ohio river.
As for the game, I'll wait till I see some footage to form a preliminary opinion.
I Am Alive is a pretty lame title and should be changed. Having said that, I wouldn't Touch DIC with anything let alone look at it as it hangs precariously from a store shelf.
There are worse titles, though. The Pen Is In You, Family: Jewel Thief, etc.
The announcement of a survival game only makes me wonder what's going on with Monolith's Wii survival game, Day of Disaster.
I think she's ugly :(
I think "Irritating Stick" wins for worst title ever.
She's not ugly...Besides gentlemen, she might not look good now, but beauty is only a light switch away. For most girls running around out there, darkness is their friend.
I really think Jade takes a lot of crap unfairly. The whole Jade's game debacle was blown far out of proportion, and says more about Ubisoft and all of us than it does about her.
She did the same PR tour that everyone does when their game is about to come out, only Ubisoft cynically made sure everyone could se that she was hawt, and all the lonely internet trolls went "ahmagad! Jade! AAAAAHHHHH" *fapfapfapfap*.
Very little of that was really her fault. And it's kind of sad that she'll never be taken seriously, simply because she was too attractive.
RAAAAAAAAAAAGINGGGGGGGGG CLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I'm glad she wasn't scared off by the horrifically inappropriate "jokes." Game sounds interesting. I'm sure this one will also get overhyped and everyone will hate it because it isn't perfect.
@Sir-G
What are you talking about? The article was respectful.
@BuckFitches
I hate to tell you, Joe, but...
@Jonathan Holmes
Yeah, "I Am Alive" is a terrible name, and "Wii" is an awesome name for a console. :P
Sharpless speaks the truth.
That woman has a smile that could launch a thousand boners.
Hey, I'm not one for lewd sexist comments, but I'm all about
jumping on the bandwagon, so there you have it.
Oh, and the game does indeed sound interesting.
Sharpless, quite getting Jade drunk and paying her to say things she doesn't mean!!!! I HATE YOU!!!
runs off crying...
finally some good comments at the end of the thread.
thank you Sharpless.
Reading this I feel compelled to say something like "Jade Raymond can Touch my DIC", with the word "my" in little italic letters, but that'd just be silly and not a worthwhile use of my time. Why do people still care about Jade Raymond? This game is going to suck twice as much as Ass Creed ever did, and that's saying something.
I prefer I Am Alive....
"I AM ALIVE!!!!"
*explodes after punching boxes full of explosives*
(Red Drawf joke)
Assassin's Creed was a horrible, awful game
Can I be cool now? I hear that's what all the cool kids are saying...
Honestly, the game wasn't THAT fucking bad at all. If you haven't played any of the many MANY far worse games then you are incredibly lucky.
It just didn't live up to the hype that was created (partially because of bewbs). Lots of games don't but you don't all decry them as an affront to humanity.
Oh and I hope they change the title before release because yes, it isn't very good.
