Remember Me: Capcom sees ‘long-term future’ in Dontnod’s IP

Linear,no exploration,any kind of upgrades,not my cup of tea.

This videogame has a strong sci-fi independent woman protagonist apparently fighting some oppressive government and has a Matrix/Ghost in the Shell theme.

!!!

IT MUST BE RELEASED.

(Not really)

Looking forward to this though Crapcom’s involvement is throwing me away more and more…

Why did it have to be Capcom ?

it is a reason why sony dropped this game, it is crap. so it is going to be more likely a ‘long term turd’ for capcom.

#4 well activision said pretty much the same thing with Sleeping Dogs, and look how it did turned out, lets hope the same happens here, the more good games we get the better, IMHO.
P.S i hope they handle this like dragon dogma and not Street Fighter, though

Sony almost dropped Demon’s Souls, which was later ironically touted by SDF as one of the best videogames on PS3..

^ Keyword being “almost”.

Keep telling yourself that.

@8, ‘Cuz he’s right? There’s a huge difference between almost & being dropped.

Because we all know Sony only supports high quality games, right?

Lawl. Fanboys.

They dropped the ball on the sequel. XD

Cuz he iz wrung.

So r u.
quote
“For my personal experience with Demon’s Souls, when it was close to final I spent close to two hours playing it and after two hours I was still standing at the beginning at the game,” he admitted. “I said, ‘This is crap. This is an unbelievably bad game.’ So I put it aside.

“I hope we won’t make the same mistake again. I should have been more stubborn talking to marketing people here in North America and Europe.”

^ So you found a quote about how Sony almost dropped Demon Souls… Almost being the keyword.

:-/

It’s from vg247, I happen to have a good memory.

Like I said keep telling yourself that, they dropped it everywhere apart from their home country, a game like DS is the equivalent of a Gears of War clone in US, even the clunkiest and quirkiest shit sells there.

Fact is, Sony weren’t able to recognize the content and refused to publish it in every outside market. Probably spent a tad bit of money on it already (it was a collaboration with Sony Japan iirc) and realized the JP sales alone would cover that.

^ So the fact is they almost dropped it, but didn’t. Keyword being almost.

Fact is they didn’t hesitate to publish Genji and didn’t publish DS anywhere outside of a safe market.

You keep holdin’ on to your purchase, brah.

@15 What exactly is your point? Sony do not have some sort of magical track records for only supporting good games, and nothing else. They’ve had plenty of stinkers in their time.

@17, His point is extremely obvious. Sony didn’t drop Demon’s Souls. Kinda hard to not understand. In fact it’s hurting me to try to understand how you didn’t understand.

Some people seriously put too much though into the obvious & it causes so many problems. Some things are, believe it or not, what they appear to be.

Yeah, they did drop it. You heard it straight from the bushido man himself.

Do you know how western releases of JP games are decided? If they’re crap (which DS was thought as by Sony themselves), they don’t come out.

Some things are, believe it or not, what they appear to be.
Exactly. $599 is $599.

@18 Whether they did or did not, what bearing does it have on the topic at hand?

@19, I never denied Sony selling the PS3 for $599 USD. It was actually about $1000 AUD here & we were perhaps 10 cents at most behind the American dollar at that point so maybe $900 USD in Australia. I wouldn’t spend that much on a TV or computer, there was certainly no way I’d pay that much for a fucking console.

@20, I thought you’ve been here more than long enough to understand how commenting works on this site. One person says something then that suddenly becomes the topic at hand- look at that 350+ comment that ‘Nintendo milking’ article had. How much of it was actually relevant? Lex had half a dozen posts just to reach the next century & even that had a few responses.

Fact number one: Sony (as Yoshida gracefully pointed out) thought DS was crap. No two ways about that.

Fact number two: Sony dropped DS, refusing to publish it anywhere outside of JP.

Sony did publish numerous videogames, both well received and not, not hesitating to help Genji reach customers over the Atlantic.

Which brings me to my original point: there’s nothing in Sony publishing history suggesting ‘Remember me’ is crap.

@19, So they did drop everywhere… Except Japan… So they almost dropped it everywhere… Keyword being almost.

One) No one ever argued that.

Two) No one ever argued that.

#23, that would be relevant if they didn’t drop it, which they did.

Unfortunately, keyword being ‘drop’.

^ How is it not relevant? They didn’t drop it in Japan. Third parties stepped in, the rest is history.

I mean you could just stop trying to use it as a opportunity to bash Sony and Japan, but I guess you’d find that almost impossible. Keyword being almost.

@Christopher lol ahhh good times… good times….

I’ll tell you as to why it’s not relevant. DS being released in JP was down to the content being a collaborative effort between From Software and Sony Japan, they dropped the title. If it wasn’t for kind folks at Namco and Atlus who happen to see hidden gems where Sony can’t, you would’ve never heard about it.

Please do keep telling yourself anyone who doesn’t have any delusions about Sony being a soulless cash cow seeking corpration is japanophobe and ‘xbot’. Almost mature of you. Keyword almost. I’ll keep on playing Bayonettas and having fond memories of Syphon Filter.

DaMan, Orbit, you are both right even if you are only arguing semantics Orbit.

Sony didnt drop DS in Japan, whether that was ‘almost’ or not is irrelevant. It was a fairly risky proposition to be fair. Insane learning curve and a quirky online system, it was no guaranteed seller. They did a good thing by getting it to market at all.

Sony did drop it outside Japan though, and they missed the sequel. That’s fairly poor judgement.

Aw, GZ.

And heartless internet people call him a fanboy

@29, Guilty as charged Da Man is very funny to watch when he starts his little rants. Especially when he starts throwing around the mature card…

#30 I did almost Cry
#29 agree, such wasted energy over semantics, thankfully Da Man didnt bite the bate like Orbit Wanted
p.s : or did i spoke to soon?

@21 I figured the whole argument being made by some people was that Sony somehow has a stranglehold on quality, that Demon Souls was an example of this proof of quality, and that Sony not holding onto Remember Me was some sort of guaranteed sign that this couldn’t possibly be a good game.

I guess I gave people too much credit for consistent discussion. Oh well.

I’m not as funny as Orbit Monkey in his little defensive purchase ramblings.

^ Well no your not. You take yourself far seriously

It must be me failing to convey the tone properly then.

At least I do know you have to >cancel< content you were developing as opposed to dropping it.. (Doesn't mean you can't drop a sequel you had nothing to do with)

^ ok Ahab, you go get that whale

This game. I need it!

Odd, no one gave the thoughts that maybe Sony abandoned it not based on Quality but in terms of financial strain. A lot of people forget financial Sony isn’t that unsinkable ship people think they are and sometimes cut backs are solely based off of preserving financial quota for that division.

I remember reading the devs saying that they have a great relationship with Sony and there isn’t any soar feelings behind being cut. Buuuttt, I forget people want to talk about their own theories… Sorta like what I just did O.o

Not saying this has got something to do with Sony dropping the game, but I don’t remember the last game Sony published that uses an outdoor Engine, like Unreal and the rest…

And I agree with #39 , no matter how hard they have been working, they have seen a totally much better days!

@33, That was really only #4. I’d suspect that when someone’s willing to admit that they’re a fan in their name, their opinion no longer matters.
