You’re going to want to remember Remember Me

At Gamescom this year Capcom revealed an unforgettable new IP called Remember Me. Featuring a futuristic memory economy, this is one game you definitely can not afford to miss out on.

IGN recently released almost ten minutes of impressive gameplay footage, showing off some awesome combat, slow mo’s and brain frying tech. The combat system reminds me a lot of that in Batman:ArkhamCity, movements and sounds are very precise. What I liked about the combat system most is that it seems that players are able to engage in proper tactical combat, planning out attacks to optimally kick ass and leave the bad guys with not a shred of dignity.

If you aren’t familiar with the game and what it’s about, here are some nuggets of knowledge to remember.

Gameplay overview:

Neo-Paris. 2084. 

Personal memories can now be digitized, bought, sold and traded. The last remnants of privacy and intimacy have been swept away in what appears to be a logical progression of the explosive growth of social networks at the beginning of the 21st century. The citizens themselves have accepted this surveillance society in exchange for the comfort only smart technology can provide. This memory economy gives immense power over society to just a handful of people.

Remember Me is a 3rd person action adventure where players take on the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to break into people’s minds and steal or even alter their memories. The authorities, fearful of her knowledge and capabilities have arrested Nilin and wiped her memory clean. After her escape from prison, Nilin sets out on a mission to recover her identity, helped by her last and only friend. This search for her past leads to her being hunted by the very people that created this surveillance society.

Game features:

  • Speculative, stunning vision of our future – Discover Neo-Paris 2084, where augmented reality and memory digitization have taken control of people’s lives. 
  • Play as Nilin, an elite memory hunter with a clouded past – Become the most wanted memory hunter in Neo-Paris and experience the power to break into people’s minds to steal their memories. Gain the information you need directly from people’s heads, to complete your missions and recover your own memory.
  • Memory Remix – This innovative new gameplay mechanic allows players to use Nilin’s powers and alter parts of people’s memories in real-time gameplay.  This will change characters’ complete perspective on their self-image and the people around them, which can have grave consequences for the world in 2084.
  • A balanced mix of combat and exploration – Fight your way through the different environments Neo-Paris has to offer, using Nilin’s proficiency in martial arts, as both hunter and prey!
  • Localized voice over – Remember Me will include fully localized voice over in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian as well as subtitles in Russian, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese.

The game is set to release in May 2013 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
