Capcom has released a new video about upcoming game Remember Me, developed by DontNod, which examines the music in the game. The video introduces several people who are working on the game's score, including Olivier Deriviere, one of the composers. Deriviere talks about the decision to make the music less typically powerful than it is in games like Call of Duty, and to make it “softer” instead to help the player feel closer to Nilin. Deriviere, who lives in Paris, also talks about the city in the game and we get to see more of the Neo-Paris that will feature in the game.
An orchestra has been brought together to play the score for the game, but what we hear in Remember Me will be electronically manipulated. John Kurlander, recording engineer, tells us this creates a unique sound that fits well with the imagery of the game.
At the end of the video, as well as lots of clips of impressive people playing musical instruments, we get to see quite a bit of footage from the game. So even if you're not particularly interested in how the composers are trying to make the music improve the player's experience, you should at least check out the video for the extra clips.
Remember Me is due to launch in May.
