Shay Wrote: CAPCOM’s upcoming action-adventure title Remember Me has critic’s raving and, according to IGN is said to be “…one of the most interesting Action Games OF THE YEAR.”. With such high reviews, we here at Kuma Kreations had to check it out.
The year is 2084 and the world as we know it has forever changed thanks to the development of Memory Digitization Technology. Memories can now be stored, shared, sold, bought or traded.. Any remnants of privacy and intimacy are long gone due to an explosive growth of social networking in the early 21st Century.
A Capcom classic, Remember Me, has ironically been forgotten in the 10 years since its release on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Sadly, Remember Me is not a forgotten Gem but a case of wasted potential. The best idea the game had was the Mind Remix Segments and the New Paris World setting, neither of which where really exploited or used well. Instead everything comes down to this just being pretty Beat'em Up and nothing more.
It does deserves a re-imagining though. Make it in first person and use something like the current Sherlock Holmes like gamedesign. Use some of that Deus Ex/Hitman mechanics and go all the way with the Memory Remix as the center piece.
Each case takes place in the mind of a victim, either dead, dying, or alive, and each level should be design like a Hitman level. Contained but chock-full of details. Investigating in the real world give you hints and clues as to how you can help or mess up a person's memory. Make this a player's choice. You can add combat but make it tasteful and short IF combat is required. Make the combat fit the narrative and the setting. Like a Boss fight taking place in the Mind of a CEO that's hiding a dark secret. Or a victim injected with some nasty Nano Machines trying to erase her memories so she can't be scanned by the Memory Remix Agent. Stuff like that. Again, make these short, sweet and to the point.
The potential for a classic is there but the original wasn't even close to being it.
I liked the game, couldve been better but you can say that for every game or movie.
Carve your burning fist through this list featuring the best beat'em ups you can experience on the PlayStation 3.
Some may not remember Capcom and Dontnod Entertainment's Remember Me, but GotGame does, making it a part of another Bring it Back retrospective.
I agree. Personally, Remember Me, imo, was quite underrated. The game was linear and beautiful Neo Paris wasn't available to be explored as much as I would've liked, but as a whole, it was enjoyable.
Graphics were excellent, the art style was terrific and Nillin was a tremendous character that was voiced beautifully. It even had a solid story. Combat was attacked, but going back recently, I rather enjoyed it. The pressen system was genius and the basic flow to action worked. Platforming was terrible, but the overall package was one that i loved and I'd rather DontNod make more titles like this then become complacent making knockoff Tell Tale games. They are going down the same road as TT, using old tech and pumping out inferior products consistently. I know they had interest in a sequel and had already written the script. Capcom just doesn't want it, but I do.
Yeah their walking simulators do nothing for me. Funny that Quantic Dream seem to be going in the other direction. I wouldn't be surprised to see some actual gameplay in their next game.
I will always see Remember Me as one of the most underrated games of the PS3/Xbox 360 generation. I had a blast with the game. I would love a sequel.
Reminds me of that vampire chic (Blood Rayne) with the 2 swords. Only that she has supper powers instead.
I'm getting a launch day PS4...so with TLOU, Beyond and GTA V to purchase first...I'm not sure I can afford more AAA games coming out on my PS3.
Remember Me?
...Remember my bank Balance ;(
It won't deliver anything good that's for sure. It may have looked good before but they already destroyed that concept to push a mediocre one out to try and make it have mass appeal. It will flop.
This game is looking good. I like the futuristic, cybernetic everything feel. I like the memory stealing concept and from what I've seen in a video, the memory stealing arena is going to be cool. I also like how they have the combos set up. Plus I enjoy games with a female protagonist kicking major butt all over the place. This is definitely on my radar.
