The France-based independent game studio Dontnod aims to battle these stereotypes head-on with their new Capcom-published game, Remember Me."
Capcom reveals PC now represents about half of its total unit sales, with the company expecting the platform’s share to continue growing.
And they worked real hard for it. Capcoms about one of the only big console devs that do great porting and optimizing games on PC.
Capcom will host a Capcom Spotlight broadcast on March 5 at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET / June 27 at 7:00 JST, the company announced. You will be able to watch it on YouTube (English, Japanese).
Funny they want us to believe Pragmata is unrelated to Megaman yet they’re both highlighting the same event ? Stay woke brothers . If Capcom won’t give Megaman its proper shine because of the grudge they still hold towards Inafune . I’ll take Pragmata over half assed Megaman game .
I really want Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 remake. This is long overdue, I loved them both on GameCube. Just no more Resident Evil this is getting to be like Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, COD, etc. same shit every year.
Still waiting for a Breath of Fire 3 & 4 remaster collection I see
Don't worry I will wait
"I feel like GameChat was made just for Resident Evil'
Good cause the western Video Game Industry is going to end up worse than the Japanese.
Please don't make such a bold claim, journalists. You can accuse western game development is full of marines and blood but I could say those are their identity. From what I've read in the article (hand to hand combat, stealth, amnesiac protagonist) Remember Me doesn't stray much from the rest of the industry. It only mixes up some elements to make look/feel much more unique. I do remember the No One Lives Forever, by a US-based company I believe, series and one particular article about how some gamers returned the second one to the store simply because they were uncomfortable shooting at women in multiplayer.
America has its blood thirsty marines, Japan has its gun/sword totting school girls and Europe has it army of deadly women (Tomb Raider, X Blade, Oni, Mirror's Edge to name a few). Each region has its stereotypes/identity.
