I'm in love with the art of the game. <3

The artwork and the concepts for this game are simply breathtaking. So is the game itself, despite all its flaws, but the concept art is amongst the best I have ever seen, and this book will remain a solid source of inspiration for me. I'm so glad I bought it!

However dead on delivery Dontnod Ent's REMEMBER ME was thanks to multiple factors, its accompanying artbook is packed with gorgeous illustrations, and information regarding the larger world that gets plenty exploring in the game proper.
Aleksis Briclot is the standout artist in the book, and was, IIRC, was the lead concept artist on the game. So much of the book is dedicated to the future of Paris that it's hard not to pause and look over every detail in the environment design.
Artbook lovers should definitely check this out.

)Capcom and DONTNOD Entertainment have created quite a surreal dystopian world in the game Remember Me.
That world comes in the form of 2084 Neo-Paris. Parts of the city are now populated with cool sleek skyscrapers. Elsewhere, the city feels more gritty and weary. The art direction for the game is wonderful. The sci-fi elements are nicely laid over a city that still retain the beautiful architecture. It's still Paris, it just looks and feels so different.
The art book is 184 pages, hardcover. Publisher Dark Horse has used thick low gloss paper. The reproduction quality is terrific.
About half of the book is filled with amazing environment art of the Neo-Paris. They explore the alleyways, streets, slums and interiors. The designs looks great, believable and moody. Many of these are painted to the level of detail that you typically get from photographs. It's astonishing. Every illustration wants you to spend time to study, to absorb what you've just seen. Most are printed at half page. Every one that's printed small will have you wishing it to be bigger.
The other half is packed with character designs. Mainly humans. There are only a handful of sketches, the rest are all painted in detail. There's a good amount of writeup for every page with the exception when the art goes two pages.
I've to list out the artists for their incredible work. They are Aleksi Briclot, Michel Koch, Frederic Augis, Gary Jamroz-Palma, Gregory Z. Szucs, Paul Chadeisson, Edouard Caplain, Alexis Smadja-Fellous, Bastien Ramisse, Regis Capotosto, Yan Le Gall and Cristian Buliarca.
This is an excellent video game art book. And this is the first game for DONTNOD Entertainment. More please.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes art.

Si no me equivoco, éste es el primer libro de arte que valoro en Goodreads. No se si también será el último (probablemente no), pero este caso merece totalmente la pena. 'The Art of Remember Me' recoge en 184 páginas el desarrollo de este videojuego creado por DONTNOD, desde los primeros bocetos de las primeras ideas que pasaron por la cabeza del equipo hasta la creación de los personajes que aparecen en esta obra.
'Remember Me' se ha convertido en uno de los videojuegos que mejor sabor de boca me ha dejado en los últimos tiempos, y esto no ha sido por un apartado jugable excepcional sino por el universo que ha creado desde cero. Los artistas de DONTNOD han dado vida a una versión futurista distópica de Paris en el año 2084, dotándole de una ambientación espectacular. No han sido pocas las veces que he parado de jugar para disfrutar del despliegue gráfico y artístico que el videojuego ofrece. Aún encima, la historia resulta muy atrayente tratando temas sobre la memoria, el uso de la tecnología, el cambio climático o la evolución del propio ser humano, temas todos ellos muy presentes en la actualidad.
Ciñéndonos más al libro de arte que nos ocupa, éste recoge en sus páginas multitud de imágenes a todo color en un papel de alta calidad, aderezadas con pequeños textos en los que el equipo de DONTNOD cuenta detalles sobre lo que podemos ver a lo largo de las páginas.
En definitiva, resulta un libro centrado en mostrar el apartado artístico del juego pero que invita a ser leído para comprender mejor el esfuerzo que lleva detrás una obra de este tipo. Me atrevo incluso a decir que no debería ser disfrutado únicamente por aquellos que hemos disfrutado del videojuego sino que resulta muy entretenido para alguien novato en la materia.

Absolutely wonderful. Aghhh I can't explain how much this book means to me. The artwork is superb. Every page was a treat, it was like my eyes couldn't get enough.
I played Remember Me a while back and I was really impressed by the art of the video game. It made a huge impression on me (because I LOVE cyberpunk) and dare I say, it's definitely a game I'll remember for being different and original.
I could tell the art director and the concept artists had a lot of love for this project because it was reflected in their stunning artwork. Boy, and do I mean stunning. I was just mindblown by how gorgeous the pieces were. Ugh, there are no words to describe how I felt. Please check out this game and the art if you haven't already. You'll see what I mean.
In the back of the book there's a message that says "I hope this book inspires you" and indeed it does inspire me. There are days when I feel really bad about my artwork, but these books give me incentive to work harder until I reach my goals. Hopefully someday I'll be a concept artist with my work featured on beloved projects just like this.
Five stars. I loved it. I wish I could give it more. One of my favourite books, definitely.

The art in this game was absolutely fantastic. When I saw they were putting out a book I jumped on it right away.
This is a well put together art book. Hardcover, and with high quality paper. There is quite a bit of commentary that gives you insight into the development and direction of the game. On top of that, it's filled with beautiful pictures.

Exellent artbook, but this paper version not easy to find, especially when you not live in USA.
