Capcom reveals 'Remember Me', a new action IP

Capcom has revealed Remember Me, a new game and franchise from Paris, France-based developer DONTNOD Entertainment.

The game's director explained that memory is an important part of the game, sharing an intimate memory of how he met his girlfriend. "What if we could all have access to all the memories of all the people in this room," he asked. "What if we could buy, sell or share these memories?" He highlights a few examples — what if we could relive Obama's election through his own eyes? What if we could delete our own memories?

Remember Me is set in Neo-Paris in 2084, where citizens are equipped with the Sensation Engine, a piece of hardware which allows them to record and digitize the events they experience in real time. These recordings are built into profiles by the manufacturer, called Memoreyes. In Remember me, you play as Nilin, a member of the "Errorists," who are trying to take down the corporation. She escapes from the city's Bastille, armed with the ability to access anyone's memories — she is, in the director's own words, a "memory hunter.

Re: Remember Me

It's really surprising that this is from Capcom, everything about it feels like a Ubisoft game.

By the time Remember Me was shown to prospective publishers, it was too late to change Nilin from a woman to a man, and this was enough to cause potential backers to abstain from publishing the game. “We had some that said, 'Well, we don't want to publish it because that's not going to succeed. You can't have a female character in games. It has to be a male character, simple as that,'” Morris told the Report.

Nice to see that problem continuing on.

That is so stupid. Lara Croft, Bayonetta, Metroid, Beyond Good and Evil (really cool game), and the large list of fighting game female characters. That is just playable characters. Then you add in all the non-playables like the girl from half life 2, final fantasy, mass effect, uncharted, resident evil, and on and on and on. The idea that female character lead won't sell is flat out archaic thinking.
