This summer blockbuster from Capcom promises so much and reveals so much with little gameplay in the trailer!

Of course with the title like Remember Me, we'll either remember it as a bad game or a great game. I am leaning towards a great game.

This reminds me of another Deus Ex only with a female lead. This game also has the psychological feel like Total Recall or Shutter Island, also borrowing elements of Alan Wake.

The gameplay looks like you'll be a Alex Mercer type badass taking out everyone and absorbing their powers and memories to recreate them! This is a great concept, but can easily fail seeing as this isn't your run of the mill concept used in today's game!

I'm not excepting a lot graphically from this game, but I hope it plays a lot like Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, with also incorporating ideas from Mirrors Edge. I just pray it doesn't play like a Resident Evil game. Not that I don't like all the series it's just the last few have been graphically and controllablely horrible games!

This game is being made however by Dontnod Entertainment a group I've never heard before but Capcom must have some faith in them to produce their game!

Aspects of the game that interested me are the idea that you play through as a melee, shooter or stealth game, just like a little game called Dishonored! The other concept that I liked was the idea of "memory remixing". So you'll be able to alter someone's memories and play through it each way, this may add some serious replay value to the game!

I can't help but think this game is based on the movie Looper. Our protagonist is hired to memory remix then they go after her when they think she's compromised. This is essentially the store of Looper. But with other remixers that means this game will have some interesting enemies.

Originally seeing this game I thought it was a sequel to Mirror's Edge, which could have been better. Needless to say I'll spot our feminine protagonist and aid her on her adventure to fix and alter memories.

Remember Me it hits stores June 7th, 2013. It'll either be a hit or miss due to the fact that Last of Us is the week prior.
