Remember Me Was Sony Exclusive

Remember Me is impressing people left and right with its interesting story of betrayal and intrigue and its excellent graphical style. It's a difficult thing, to let yourself get too excited about a title we hardly know anything about, but this one may just be justified. It wasn't always a Capcom game though, and developer Dontnod was working exclusively with Sony on the game for its first year of development.

"The Sony deal was signed February 2010 and ended a year later. We were totally independent, and had no publisher, but we were looking for one," Jean-Maxime Moris, creative lead  on Remember Me, said in an interview with Joystiq.

"I won't go into too many details," he continued, "but basically they cancelled a bunch of projects, and we were just one of them. It felt bad at the time. And now, in retrospect, it's just one step toward where we are now."

The Dontnod team definitely don't feel they're working with their second choice, however. Moris went on to say that they were very happy to be working with Capcom and that the game very much suits the publisher's "DNA."
