A new trailer for Dontnod Entertainment's Remember Me acts as a perfect way to mug up on the premise and setting, introducing us to Neo-Paris and its evil corporations that turn memories into commodities. It's out on June 7th for PS3 and Xbox 360, though Carl feels that the mechanics could use some fine tuning in our Remember Me hands-on preview.

At this year’s Gadget Show Live there really wasn’t much in the way of new games on the show floor, especially in the way of upcoming titles, but with the exception of the upcoming Star Trek movie tie-in (which you can read about here) there was only one unreleased game I had yet to get hands-on with… and that was DONTNOD’s sci-fi memory manipulation action title Remember Me. Having managed to intrigue us with its official unveiling last year, it has remained on our radars thanks to the steady flow of trailers (and topical character discussion) since then.
So, we naturally jumped at the chance to get hands on with the game while we were perusing the show floor. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see any gameplay that had us remixing memories, with the demo instead highlighting the platforming, exploration, and combat mechanics. The level on show saw us controlling main character Nilin as she made her way through the slums of Neo-Paris, an incredibly dirty yet rather vibrant locale that had makeshift market stalls and flying advertisement bots insisting on gaining my attention. Along with a rather downtrodden populous, the city is also host to some faceless enemy creatures that seemed to suck the memories out of people (or at least that’s what I gathered during my time playing.) Upon gaining control, I began my trek across the bowels of the metropolis.


Capcom and DONTNOD Entertainment have released another trailer for Remember Me, showing off more of the deadly adversaries that memory hunter Nilin will face off against using brains, brawn and the ability to overwrite memories.
The anticipated PS3 and Xbox 360 title is out on June 7th, though we hope that the finished article won't contain quite as much offensive wub wub as the video. Carl recently got to grips with Remember Me, and we'll have a detailed preview for your delectation tomorrow.

DONTNOD's creative director Jean-Maxime Moris has told of the problems his company have faced in trying to develop a game - Remember Me - with a female protagonist, saying that publishers told him outright that "you can't have a female character [protagonist] in games".
Apparently instead of getting the marketing department to do their job, it's far easier to push a sexist agenda down from the top and force people to massively compromise their work.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra take centre stage in his latest dev diary from DONTNOD's Remember Me. As well as delivering some interviews with composer Olivier Deriviere and recording engineer John Kurlander, there are also a few slivers of gameplay to enjoy as well, with Nilin generally exhibiting a high level of badassery.

A new trailer for Remember Me has hit the internet, showing off plenty of gameplay and introducing one of the new bosses: the brawny, brawly Kid Xmas.

Jean-Maxime Moris, the creative director on Capcom's Remember Me, has slammed the prevalent use of the "straight, white, man" as a stereotypical central protagonist.
Speaking in a recent interview, Moris used the statement to highlight the differences that DONTNOD are striving for with Nilin - Remember Me's female, mixed-race, central character.

The new IP was revealed at Gamescom and has impressed us ever since with a series of gameplay videos showing combo editors, brawling and some seriously slick sci-fi locations.
At the end of the day, new IPs are risky ventures and it’s not really surprising that Capcom aren’t planning a one-off title.

Capcom and Dontnod's intriguing sci-fi action title got a new walkthrough video at TGS, taking a closer look at the Combo Lab, a feature that will allow players to customise Nilin's fighting style to suit their own methods of gameplay. There are four combo slots, and four different types of "pressen" to augment your combos: regen, power, cooldown, and chain. There'll apparently be around 50,000 different combinations for the player to tinker with.
The game is out next May for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Capcom's Gamescom revelation - the Dontnod-developed Remember Me - has gotten a lengthy new walkthrough video. Rather than prioritising stealth and memory remix gameplay, this direct feed PAX footage focuses on all-out action and franctic platorming as Memory Hunter Nilin faces off against a gunship.
It's looking rather tasty, in all honesty, though we reckon that the project will need to distinguish itself from the third person crowd by focusing on its more innovative gameplay features. Set the dystopian Paris of 2084, Remember Me was originally known as Adrift before Capcom assumed publishing duties. It's slated to release for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2013.

We have the video, and a few screenshots, after the jump.
