Announced at last week’s Gamescom conference, Remember Me is a third-person-action-adventure title from French outfit Dontnod. With plenty of action in the game, it’s intriguing to see Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono is advising on the project.
Capcom senior producer Mat Hart spoke of Ono’s involvement, “He’s my boss and he and I speak very regularly about the game, and he’s come out with me to Paris. He knows the team and knows the game very well. I always benefit from his wisdom when I’m chatting to him about how we’re progressing.”“It’s a bit like the situation Capcom has with Ninja Theory. The strategy of western development is building teams together – Capcom and a developer coming together and making a game together – as opposed to quite an old-fashioned approach of being adversarial. We’re moving away from that.”
“When we saw the game way back last year, we instantly knew this had the DNA to support the Capcom brand and be a really strong part of our portfolio. This is going to be a major franchise for us.”
Remember Me will be released in May, 2013 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
