Head below for new videos of Dontnod’s Remember Me, showing Nilin clambering round Neo-Paris, the game’s combat system and some memory remixing.
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.

interesting! nice atmosphere, rich and very deep.
the fighting seem lame :/ and so does the marker that tells you what to do every micro second sadly..
Don't wanna get hyped for this since Capcom is involved, even though it looks right up my alley. Will wait until it releases to judge.
Come May, when everyone will be playing The Last of Us, I'll be playing... both!
The environments look absolutely beautiful but sadly most everything else looks generic and dull or just plain awful. Her animations are just plain unattractive, she runs and walks like an orangutan.
Game looks sickk
