Remember Me's graphics, set the stage for next gen

By now you must have seen this great footage for Remember Me, an awesome-looking open-world game that Capcom showed off this week at Gamescom.

Christopher5018d ago

Really? I thought it was pretty average with today's graphics. On par with Mass Effect 3. Her walking animation was a bit weird and you could see sub-720p quality textures once you got close to objects (even her hands had aliasing issues).

000015017d ago

same, nothing to write home about. i think it looked good, but not next gen. but then again its arguably the last full year of this gen so shouldn't every game look good at this point?

guitarded775017d ago

Yes, every third party multiconsole game should at least look like the better games from early in the generation by now. I can understand new devs having some issues, but dev/pub teams should be sharing what they've learned working with engines, which algorithms are best, and hardware devs should have shared all their knowledge by now. I think it's interesting how so many want this generation over, while we're seeing the the best work from devs right now. I say enjoy these great games coming, and the longer we hold off next-gen, the better next gen will be.

SilentNegotiator5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

But this is Kotaku.

Sony "messed up" by giving away exclusivity.....so naturally, it's the greatest game on the planet. Classy, unbias Kotaku...Still totally mature about getting blacklisted. Maybe we can get another faked loading time video of an upcoming PS3 game if we fail to give Kotaku hits this week.

Tr10wn5017d ago

^like N4G is any better LOL

SilentNegotiator5017d ago

@tr10wn

What's your point? That makes Kotuku's level of journalistic (lack of) integrity okay?

victorGma215017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

Looks worse than Mass Effect (Graphically) but it's probably a good game. This game will release in May 2013 so maybe it will improve?

It's just kotaku hyping things up. besides bashing Sony this gen, they also took an interest in overhyping

torchic5017d ago

and magically making up stories out of freaking nowhere *cough* Versus XIII *cough*

colonel1795017d ago

torchic:

I thought that was a good move. The clearly did it on purpose to force SE to say something about the game. We will see if it worked during the even they will have in September, or during TGS.

Either way, since they said that is still in development, if they were lying it will affect SE more.

Jazz41085017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

Sony deserves any bashing they get as they have been one of the most arrorgant corps i have ever seen.

SonyPS3605017d ago

Ignore the over-hyping of the graphics in this article and it still looks great.

showtimefolks5017d ago

oh hell no the game looked good but no way is it next gen, wasn't this game adrift or something if i remember correctly? i thought i saw something about it a while back

a 2013 release date

rdgneoz35017d ago

It was originally Adrift, then they parted ways with Sony and decided to do this.

OhMyGandhi5017d ago

yeah, but now it's "Remember Me"...hopefully people don't think it's a game adaptation of the Robert Pattinson movie.

Relientk775017d ago

cgooodno

you said exactly wat I was thinking. It wasnt next-gen it was just average this gen, not next

geddesmond5017d ago

Thought the exact same thing.

ATi_Elite5017d ago

can i have some of your bubbles!

oh good post (I would Bubbles + but then you would need a triple monitor set-up to see all your bubbles)

_-EDMIX-_5017d ago

I actually agree and disagree too.

Now i agree that the graphics don't "set my world on fire" but its the mere fact that its an OPEN WORLD GAME.

Now saints row vs GTAIV.

Saints Row by many accounts is the better open-world game this gen.

GTAIV has been known by fans as the "gimped" GTA or the Worst etc.

GTAIV LOOKS AMAZING! Saints Row...not so much.

It boils down to this, you can't make Open world games this gen like last gen, based on that there technically isn't enough space to make it multiplatform and have the same features as the last gen versions without stripping features and making a lower quality game.

ie GTASA was 5.2gigs (with no MP but split screen and clearly not in HD, and clearly not with the same physics)

its 5.2GB and then an upgrade to 6.8GB. Thats just not enough to make a true sequel to a GTA game or really any open world game that used up all its space last gen.

Even GTASA could not be done in mere HD using the same space, just the textures alone would make it more space then whats available on a single DVD9.

So my gripe comes down to this, this gen we may have had the graphics, but we didn't have the content, fidelity, openness and we for sure didn't have an upgrade to an open world game ie something that could not had been done last gen (entering 90% of buildings, destruction of the world using real physics etc).

And i'm a HUGE Kotor fan, i like Mass Effect, but i actually like more of what it could had been. The game looks great, plays great, but i don't know a sole alive that would disagree that it would had been more epic with the openness of KOTOR. Imagine a Mass Effect next gen, with a ship that you take from planet to planet ala Kotor. Amazing isn't it?

So with me, it has really to do with its an open world game that looks THAT GOOD! This gen (to me anyway) was always a Half-gen. If we had more space, i feel games like this would had been made in 2005/2006.

ChronoJoe5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

Not modeled that well either. It's no Uncharted 2 that's for sure.

Bioshock Infinite looks pretty good.

miDnIghtEr20C_SfF5017d ago

The game that looks most next gen to me is that new Star Wars 1313.

Now that looks next gen.

Ashunderfire865017d ago

Star Wars 1313 set the stage for Next Gen.

victoryscreeeeeech5017d ago

I think its more like when the new tech of the next Gen comes, this is wat ur gonna see at first. And as next Gen progresses, graphics just get better and better. Plus I think this is a open world game, so with the world rendering, the graphics are nice

adorie5017d ago

I think the writer of this article doesn't even own a PC.

duplissi5017d ago

yeah. i think that perhaps jason schreier (the guy who wrote the post) might want to get his eye prescription looked at... it looked a tad under par to me.

ziggurcat5017d ago

it's also a game in development, so anything we're seeing right now isn't exactly the finished, polished product.

and ME isn't exactly the best game to be using as a graphics threshold...

they still need to fix the hair. Not a big fan of plastic hair. She's on the ugly side too. I mean, I've seen ugly people that look interesting, but she's a bit generic.

@cgoodno

I gotta admit the combat animation is a bit awkward/stiff.

Merrill5017d ago

That is strange, because the first thing I thought about the trailer is that the graphics don't look that great, aliasing, animations, etc.

Afterlife5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

I think this will change your mind. Have you seen this?
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

What stands out is the lighting and artsyle. I don't know about the graphics though. I do agree that the animations needs a bit of work.

Merrill5017d ago

You're correct, looks much better in that game play video than I had anticipated after seeing the trailer.

greenpowerz5017d ago

Art and style aside, I seen blocky graphic, choppy gameplay with clunky motion.

ProjectDeputy5017d ago

it looks crap

horrible animation and the graphics are nothing compared to ffversus and beyond 2 souls

corrus5017d ago

Actually that game not gonna come out for WII U

Hanuman5017d ago (Edited 5017d ago )

Well, this is what I expect WiiU games to look like in the futture. Thst is if it can run in on these settings. This looks pretty polished to me, I saw no clipping on clothes and hair and that's an achievement in itself. + a reaal cool feature is that the two lose straps on her back, along with her hair, really move realisticaly without clipping. There are no jaggies on shadows or objects, the fog and lighting are a step above the rest. It looked like a really polished game that ran at about 60FPS. Compare this to your everyday game. Sure they all look the the same. In the end a texture is a texture. But in the end the jaggy free world, 1080p, 60p will prevail. There is no concole alive that can run this game at this settings. I sure hope Sony and MS will keep their promises this time...

Knushwood Butt5017d ago

Yeah, if it's not on Wii U, it can't be next gen /s.

black9115017d ago

I just looked at it for the Fisrt Time. Looks the same As Mass Effect 3 if not worse.

ProjectDeputy5017d ago

whats wrong with mass effect 3 nap ?
the game was awesome despite the last 5 min enough said,

Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.

-Foxtrot50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

I was just going to say this, their biggest and top rated game here is TLOU2 for PC….it’s embarrassing.

Even Ubisoft and EA are ahead

Kind of surprised Nintendo is pretty low aswell, their biggest game is also a rerelease with the Switch 2 version of TotK.

StoneColdCrazy49d ago

That’s what happens when you start shutting down your own studios and forget what actually made you matter in the industry in the first place. Sony used to set the standard — now it feels like they’ve lost that identity. And if they decide to walk away from the PC market too, that’s going to be another huge mistake — that platform is only growing, and ignoring it now would just put them even further behind.

1Victor50d ago

@christopher:” Take note, Sony, you're falling behind by a lot.”
.
Why single out Sony? Microsoft didn’t do any better than the year before 5th same as Sony 9th and they have acquired activision and other mayor titles that have boosted their score massively from a 9th and Sony a 4th the year before the acquisitions.
Sony does need to do better without a doubt and I do hope they do take note but not the note of buying publishers is the way to succeed.

Christopher50d ago

1. Microsoft didn't get worse.
2. Sony got way worse.
3. Because Sony needs the criticism the most considering their publishing output this generation has been propped up by last gen ports and third-party developers for the most part.

50d ago
thesoftware73050d ago

1Victor,

I don't wanna speak for Christopher, but like most of us we recognize that Sony's output this Gen has been way below their own standards.

Also Sony did buy a fair amount of Devs, I know you will say they were not publishers, and don't compare in size, but they had their fair share of Aquisitions, including the very well established Bungie.

The overall point is with their stellar first party track record of the past, they should not be going down, they are singled out because they are some of the best videogame devs/publisher on the planet...no matter what reasons we attribute to the situation, they are moving in the wrong direction... period.

50d ago
KyRo49d ago

Its widely accept that Sony this generation has been underwhelming. We've had more peripheral releases, controller variants, PS5 accessories than games it feels like. The exclusives were also PS4 and what little output they have put exclusively on PS5 is nowhere near as memorable as what came in every generation before that.

This isn't a Sony hate post but anyone who's older and has been around for a long time gaming will agree that PS5 is by far Sony's worst generation. As much as Xbox is in the gutter, I pray the do bounce back in the hope we get Sony to wake up again.

darthv7249d ago (Edited 49d ago )

If you want to critique MS... you are doing so towards their management. The games output and their hardware have been much better than PS this gen. Sadly... people still hold a grudge against XB because of MS. Thankfully i am not that petty... I've been enjoying their games output in the drought of PS. And add in some NS1/2 games as well to balance things out. Things will change for me once Wolverine hits, and I start using my 5 more. That one I'm looking forward to. And the Marvel fighter... I'm not a GTA player so that has no bearing on my view of things.

Big part of that has been the live service push resulting in cancellation or flop after flop but when they put out the games their fans want we get amazing stuff like astro bot

Leadership really screwed the pooch trend chasing

Well I apologize I was wrong about not doing worse but my statement of Microsoft getting a boost still stand 🤷🏿

50d ago
1Victor49d ago

Well OBSCURED unlike you I’m honorable enough to recognize when I’m wrong and apologize.
.
@ The software you know there’s no comparison between what Microsoft acquired and what Sony acquired that’s why you tried to get ahead of the conversation, yes we all know Sony can do better than what they have done this gen but they inhaled the poison GAS they thought would bring money for years but we make sure they got the message and quite a few games got cancelled you know as well a hit like that take years to be corrected and by now they hopefully will have taken steps away from the GAS and slowed their approach to them.

You will say anything when you are in denial that your hardware is dead and nobody wants your platform. Good luck with Helix because nobody will buy it.

But... but... the garbage-mongers always tell us that Square Enix is in trouble! 😂

Christopher50d ago

Square doesn't help that it fear mongers itself with ridiculous 'goals' that they can't reach and then they proclaim failure if they don't reach it. They're quite freaking profitable and people act like they're dying.

SimulationDaily50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Keep in mind that these "proclamations" are usually third-hand bad translations from somedude who was at the investor conference, posted on Twitter, and picked up by press and youtubers like they were gold, and then when the official translation comes out, they're much softer statements, but at that point, the damage is done.

gold_drake50d ago

to be very fair

being number one on these things does not indicate how "well" their games do selling wise.

Capcom Insists It Won't Use AI-Generated Assets in Its Games, Will Harness Tech during Development

Capcom has clarified its current stance on generative AI in its videogames. The major Japanese publisher and developer behind popular series like Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter has revealed that while it doesn't use gen-AI assets in their games, it is exploring ways to use generative AI to streamline the game development process.

Chocoburger50d ago

Using Artificial Intelligence (more like Realistic Stupidity) art assets in your games is a great way to get people to boycott your product. We don't need that ugly, unsophisticated, generic, fake art in our games, good on CAPCOM for not using that garbage.

blacktiger50d ago

Naw you can't fool us, You work with Nvidia, that's a fact! And here you wanted to advertise but now look stupid!
