Can you pick up chicks in Second Life? I have been working so hard on the computer the past few months that maybe the online community will become my new meeting place. While I'll use it for getting some, Warner Bros. Pictures has released a virus across the role-playing game for I Am Legend to create I Am Legend: Survival.
I Am Legend: Survival
Warner Bros. Pictures today unveiled an original, online, multiplayer first-person shooter / RPG game playable in the 3D virtual world Second Life. The largest and most expansive Second Life game ever launched in support of a film release, I Am Legend: Survival transports players into an eerie replica of over 60 acres of New York City set in the chaotic year preceding the movie. The future of mankind hangs in the balance as players choose to play in either of two rival factions, uninfected and infected. Uninfected characters must fight to survive as they desperately seek the cure for the terrible virus that is destroying mankind. Infected characters have only one objective: to stop uninfected characters at all costs.
The game features player-customizable avatars loosely based on characters in the film, New York City-based environments that change and expand over time and supports both voice and text chat for in-game multiplayer communication. The game is available as a free download from http://iamlegendsurvival.com/ starting today.
I Am Legend: Survival
I Am Legend: Survival is inspired by the upcoming feature film I Am Legend, starring Will Smith as Robert Neville. A brilliant scientist, even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague—The Infected—lurk in the shadows…watching Neville’s every move…waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered…and quickly running out of time.
