French I Am Alive Report Was "A Joke"

French gaming site JeuxVideo says its report that Ubisoft's I Am Alive would get a digital-only release was "good a joke," merely it's the internet's fault for not understanding what was obviously a gag.

A week ago, JeuxVideo revealed that I Am Alive, the disaster survival game Ubisoft hasn't said a word about in nearly two years, would be given a member-only give up along the PlayStation Electronic network and Xbox Living Arcade because, according to Ubisoft Toronto Managing Director Jade Raymond, the publisher didn't have enough faith in it to sink the bucks into a straightlaced retail launch. IT was the kind of harsh, frank assessment you don't normally hear from a publisher and that, occluded with the fact that it was the start thing we'd heard about the game since early 2009, drove the account some the internet very chop-chop. Just one job: IT was a consist.

Or, as the site put it, "a joke." The uninjured thing started to look fishy almost in real time after the story came come out of the closet, when several of our own French-speaking readers noted that the statement about Ubisoft expecting the game to fail did not come from Raymond but were just the opinion of the announcer. Ubisoft itself denied the statement, saying, "We have not recently announced anything for I Am Alive and we have nothing official to denote at this time."

And like a sho JeuxVideo has stuck the final branching in information technology, saying that the whole thing was just a jest and we all should have known it. "To suffer IT all on the tone of voice of humor, Kevin [the JeuxVideo announcer] improvises a story about a relationship he enjoyed with Jade Raymond and which would have allowed him to sustain this information. Obviously, anyone World Health Organization has watched Warpzone immediately apprehended it was a joke," the web site said in a Google-translated explanation.

NeoGAF got the ball rolling "without troubling about the context of the issue," later which English gaming sites began to describe connected the story. "That's what happens when you don't infer French" and, due to "laziness or self-satisfaction," don't bother to verify facts, the site said, despite the fact that many sites did in fact reach bent Ubisoft for confirmation, which is how we ended ascending with a denial in the beginning. Still, that might have been the oddment of information technology every bit far as JeuxVideo was interested, leave out that French gaming sites began to report on it American Samoa well, on the face of it taking NeoGAF at its word without checking the original TV, where they would have discovered the obvious humor.

But JeuxVideo is prepared to equal big about information technology. "Although our responsibility in this story is cardinal, we still want to apologize for the misunderstanding [of] this innocent trait of humor," it said. The most life-or-death thing, it added, is that it now has proof that Jade Raymond does occasionally look at the site. I hypothecate we should look nothing to a lesser extent from the nation that awarded Jerry Lewis the Légion d'honneur for his contributions to comedy.
