Soooo, we were talking about PS4 exclusives on another thread, and then I remembered about this one, a Russian developed third person adventure game, that clearly was inspired by Quantic Dream's games. It was stated for 2016 release, and last thing I remember is that they did some kind of crowdfunding that went wrong, and that was in 2014 I think. Does anyone know any info shared in 2015 by the devs? All we seem to have is this:

http://dinosaurum.com/without-memory-2/

Basic information:

– Release date: 2016;
– Genre: Interactive thriller, interactive movie;
– Developer: “Dinosaurum Games”;
– Game engine: Unreal Engine 4;
– Platform: Only on PlayStation 4;
– Network game: No;
– Media: Blu-ray, PSN;
– Age rating: 18+.

Game Description


Without Memory is a psychological thriller played in the third-person perspective,where each and every decision you take has serious consequences.

There are four dimensions, three characters: from the past, the present and the future, two sides of the conflict and fifty possible endings to the game. It depends only on you how the story will end! A war veteran striving to change the world after his best friend has died and his antagonist, a mysterious guest from the future who is eager to prevent the inevitable.

Caught between two fires threatening to burn the whole world up, a fragile and defenseless girl enters the conflict, when she comes round in the forest realizing that she has lost her memory. She will have to make a lot of hard decisions, survive in harsh conditions and discover the truth in order to
change the destiny of mankind.

According to their website, the game is set for release in 2016 , as a PS4 exclusive.

Curious to see some footage of this.

Website also says they've had some negotiations with Quantic Dream ????

In February we got in touch with the French studio Quantic Dream, which professionally develops interactive games using Motion Capture technology.

We wrote to the Quantic Dream executive producer Guillaume de Fondaumière to present our scenario for appraisal.

After lengthy negotiations we phoned Guillaume and he gave his opinion about Without Memory. The scenario was also appraised by the founder of Quantic Dream — David Cage.

Guillaume said (quote): “It’s a very interesting project but it needs constant development of the idea and enhancement. Well done and good luck with your game!”

After such a pat on the back our morale boosted. Now we are busy improving technical documentation, including the scenario and design document. In this news item we also would like to wish Quantic Dream every success in their new project!

 

[Blackquill]

They forgot this game exists

 

[AetherZX]

Remember me

 

[Corpekata]

There were threads about this before and I think the consensus back then was basically "this is never coming out, at least not without major concessions"

Everything about this game was pointing to vaporware or a piece of shit 2 years ago, it's about the same now.

 

[Tratorn]

Heh, I thought about it too some days ago. Didn't know about the crowdfunding thing though. Hopefully they didn't cancel it and we'll get informations some time this year.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

This wasn't a front for the Russian Mafia? I'm not convinced.

Dinosaurum games is still fucking hilarious.

 

[Acquiescence]

This is that game that N4G randomly went nuts for. And then some rough debut footage was shown and the community lambasted it. That's all I remember.

 

[Dictator93]

The beginning premise sounds alright, but this

sounds kinda terrible.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Who the fuck has a studio named dinosaurum games and doesn't have dinosaurs in the game. So disappointed


Add "and also there are dinosaurs and shit" to the end of that description and tell me it wouldn't be an insta buy

 

[Guymelef]

Always looked vaporware to me.

 

[SJRB]

Never heard of this game before, when was this revealed?

 

[DriftingSpirit]

2016 was the set year for more information. Supposedly, reveal, release, etc...

 

[CelticVegas]

It went Deep Down.

 

[orochi91]

The beginning premise sounds alright, but this

sounds kinda terrible.

They've got David Cage's approval.

Seriously, check out my link a few posts up.

They literally got appraisal from David Cage :3

 

[onQ123]

I'm without memory

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Seems like it was one of those games that get's announced in the concept fase to lure in a publisher. Kinda like happened with Wardevil, apparently nobody bit yet.

 

[mrpeabody]

It went Deep Down.

Too soon.

 

[CelticVegas]

Too soon.

They called their Agent to advise him they're going Deep Down. Because they are Phantom Dust, and they should Let it Die their game and leave us Without Memory.

Edit: This wouldn't happened if they made a Playable Teaser.

lol, I've should know that jokes like this would happen

''Negotiations'' seems exaggereted by them. They are clearly QD fanboys and were thrilled that they were able to talk to both Guillaume and David Cage about the game.

Well, that explains everything then. lol

The studio seems to have deleted their VKontakte account and the links to their Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Youtube accounts on the official page lead to nowhere.

Always seemed like an odd, unprofessional project. First game, rather ambitious, PS4 exclusive without Sony funding it, no publisher, no known source of funding despite >50 employees, no background on the people who work at the company, a very young looking executive board and so on and so forth.

 

[Turkoop]

I was really excited for this game.. hope everything is ok

 

[Chobel]

I say it's dead.

Probably wanted to join Quantic Dream if that article about getting his approval was anything to go by.

 

[Abriael]

They haven't said a single word since last Christmas, so I'd say it's dead. The failed crowdfunding killed it.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Sony figured they took too long to make the game and did this to them.

I'm afraid Deep Down suffered the same fate.

 

[funkypie]

If it's memory you seek, you best download it.

 

[InquisitorAles]

Russian developers with deleted VK page? Yep, it's totally dead, forget about this game guys

 

[Theonik]

I am without memory of this existing.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I am without memory of this existing.

.

 

[spatenfloot]

They played Remember Me and went "Oh yeah!"

 

[SlipperyFishes]

 

[jayu26]

Memory related pun.

 

[iSnakeTk]

Buried together with Agent and Resident Evil PsP.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

Gonna guess they were hoping for some funding from Sony or anptjer external investor and didn't get it. Hope I'm wrong though because it seems like an interesting idea.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Good name for a sequel to Remember Me, anyway.

 

[krang]

Dinosaurum?

 

[Acquiescence]

Good name for a sequel to Remember Me, anyway.

Surely a better name for a sequel to Remember Me would've been 'Guess Not'.

 

[PhantomVash808]

Wow I flat out forgot this game even existed.

 

[matrix-cat]

Occupying the same space as Deep Down and Rime.

 

[biglittleps]

Do they have twitter or Facebook ? There are no updates since last year E3.

 

[Stop It]

Is this the PS4's Sadness I wonder.

Everything about it screams vapourware, but we shall see.

 

[silva1991]

I totally forgot about this game. I remember that their last trailer of the game had razy amount of dislikes.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Did people really expect somthing to come out of this no name developer with a much too amibitious project that had nothing but shoddy concept art and assets that looked like they were bought off the Unity store to show when it was announced?

 

[Insane Metal]

GDDR5 wasn't enough

 

[nOoblet16]

I have no memory of this game's existence.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Sony figured they took too long to make the game and did this to them.

I'm afraid Deep Down suffered the same fate.

Sony was funding this game?
