For the past few years, Germany's Gamescom has become one of the big video game conventions of the year. While it may not be as popular as E3, there are quite a few big announcements saved for this August convention. With EA, Capcom and Sony having their big press conferences at the event yesterday, there is already quite a bit palpable gaming news from the event such as release dates for upcoming games and announcements for a slew of Vita and PSN games. Even companies like Activision and Microsoft are showing off some new stuff for their big games this holiday as both Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Halo 4 are getting their full multi-player reveals at Gamescom. There is even a rumour floating around that the next Half-Life game will be revealed at Gamescom.
Out of all the stuff revealed these first couple of days at Gamescom, it is a new IP from Capcom that has caught the eyes of many gamers including yours truly. Published by Capcom and developed by a French studio known as Dontnod Entertainment, Remember Me is an action game set in a futuristic Paris. In this future, everybody has brain implants that control and store their memories. While these implants are used to govern a person's memories, they can in turn be hacked by outside forces. The protagonist of Remember Me, Nilin is a former memory hunter that has been betrayed by her former employer and left with no memories whatsoever. Remember Me has a very interesting premise that has futuristic Mirror's Edge/Deus Ex vibe to it. I cannot wait to see more of Remember Me in the months leading up to its May 2013 release for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Right now, I got the announcement trailer and first gameplay footage of Remember Me so you guys can see why you should be excited for Remember Me.
