Remember Me interview: 'How stupid is this industry to only bet on stereotypes?'

In a futuristic vision of Paris, players aid protagonist Nilin as she traverses the Gallic dystopia with a taste for revenge - a professional 'memory hunter', she's found herself at the wrong end of her own skillset, imprisoned and unable to recall why. She soon sets out to unearth what exactly happened, manipulating the memories of her enemies in order to restore her own. The oppressive Memoryes corporation, controlling and deleting the memories of the public, are in her sights - 1984 meets Eternal Sunshine, then. CVG sat down with Remember Me's creative director, Jean-Maxime Moris, to talk about the game.

Wow, what a self serving hypocrite this Jean-Maxime is. He goes on about how horrible it is that a lot of games have leads that are straight white males (roughly the same percentage as those who play the games), then shows off his character who is a physically attractive, physically fit, light skinned female. The cover of the game even shows a nice @ss shot. Yeah, no stereotypes there.

Show me an unattractive, homely looking female who actually looks mixed race, with a big ole booty, and then you can talk about breaking down barriers.

Not to mention the bit about blood. The game contains violence and killing, but because he doesn't show the red stuff when people are killed, he is again innovating. Sounds to me like he just wanted to sell his violent game to more children, and knew that the sensors allow unlimited killing as long as you don't inform people that we bleed when killed/shot/stabbed. Way to innovate there Jean!

I agree with Mike. That is just sad how hypocritical this guy actually is and for him not to see it is hilarious.

Why does it matter if the main character is male or female? I thought his whole game was about "Adventure, and Story-telling," Not about trashing males just so he can look innovative by making the main character a female.

Also what is this whole no blood thing suppose to mean? What when we reach whatever year this game is set in we won't bleed anymore? That's asinine...especially when you can change peoples memories but a little blood coming out oh whoa bro that's going to far.

Plenty of alternatives out there if you look beyond the top sellers.

grailly4173d ago

a bit of a david cage syndrome going on here. I hate when developers do this. they make something different and all of a sudden they feel the need to bag on other developers for not doing like them.

Hicken4173d ago

I'd rather listen to Cage.

Sketchy_Galore4173d ago

I hate to say it but I'm not impressed with this game so far. The gameplay video made it look like another child of Uncharted 2 just with stiffer animations and a Mass effect paint job along with all the forced cursing and cheese you would expect. I honestly hope those impressions are mistaken and there is more to this game but as of now when I think of a brilliant, classy and interesting science fiction game with a non-sexualised black female protagonist, intelligent story set in a dystopian society and a French stylistic influence I will think only one thing, Beyond good and evil.

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 11h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga1d 11h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot1d 10h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B1d 9h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga1d 8h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb1d 4h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Yui_Suzumiya15h ago

Code Veronica definitely needs it the most!

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid1d 11h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman1d 11h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.

Come on State of Play already!!!

Hey Capcom I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 on Switch or, maybe Switch 2. I loved both of those games on GameCube.

MeteorPanda10d ago

Good. capcom and square enix were my two favourite developers and now it's just CapCom! Square enix keeps missing the mark, their sparks gone.
