I find that hard to believe.

And Joe... look at that picture again and then try and feel that way about my comments.. You won't be able to.. because you'll become smitten too.

SlickGnome 11th July 2008, 13:40

Hot and talented... Now if all game designers/programmers/producers were like that, the world would be an awsome place.

deftonesmx17 11th July 2008, 14:11

Wake up guys, she doesnt code anything IIRC. She is only the producer/director. And too bad her first game was so freaking repetitive that I never played all the way through. At times I think people only liked ass creed because of her producing it........and the same will probably hold true for this next game.

I hope this one is better that Assassin's Creed. The last few levels were excruciatingly painful. The combat system was NOT designed to fight 30 people at a time. I like being able to run around the levels and do silent kills. But when the last few levels are nothing but fighting hordes of enemies it gets really frustrating. And just when you thought there wasn't another fight and that the end was near, they brought in 20 more guys you had to fight. The end ruined the game.

she is cute....

MrMonroe 11th July 2008, 15:19

Wait a second. I just realized... there's no story here. There's just a company saying "we're not saying anything," and the implication that a games producer is working on producing a game.

You guys posted this story just so you'd have an excuse to put her picture up on the website, didn't you?

My excuse would be that she's hot...

And my story would be about how hot she is.

She is a programmer, though.

Joe has a girlfriend so he isn't allowed to be smitten with Jade, although we all know he secretly is, with her cosplaying as Jade from Beyond Good and Evil :P

Those artists don't code anything either.

And those game designers , why even pay them?

I do agree that she gets unnecessary publicity though, I don't know if she's actually good at her job or not, but the main reason she seems to get any media attention is she looks hot.

Darn, she is cute.

Oh and if this story was simpy an excuse to print her picture, then fine by me.

Redbeaver 11th July 2008, 19:07

im interested in the game. we need more new ideas. and more interested in Jade of course.

she looks so sweet i think she's a unhealthy part of a complete breakfast.

oh, and long life Canadians!

I'm going to have to add in a comment from Kotaku which sums up my feelings about some of the comments in this thread:

It's embarassing to me that I even have to point this out, and it should be even more embarassing that it has to be pointed out to you, but your comments add nothing to the discussion, are sexist, and ignorant. It's wading through trash like this that prevents me from frequenting most sites, and Kotaku is one of the few that keeps goons like off of it's channel. Unfortunately, someone forget to lock your cages this morning, or something.
This article is about Jade Raymond the game developer. She is a woman, and some people think she is attractive. And that's all anyone should say about that. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of having to read **** like this when I want to actually be informed of something, or parse through someone's comments or opinions, be they insightful or witty.
I understand the conversational nature of this blog, I realize that many stories are posted with "suggestive" material, and I recognize an attempt at humor and playfulness. But this **** is crossing the line. What line? The one of grace, class, and decency.
Perhaps some of you haven't reached the real world yet, and realize that you must treat others with respect, but when you do I imagine you'll change your tune to something akin to mine...either that or remain forever compared to a 12-year old.
Every time we have a story even remotely suggestive we get the morons crawling out of the woodwork...be it racism, sexism, ignorance, antipathy, relgious persecution, anti-country propaganda (pick your nation, they all get hate equally), xenophobia or just plain indecency.
Think about what you write before you write it. Think long and hard. And for the love of god, if you're wrong and you know it, don't try to justify your position under some ignorant title like "everyone else is doing it!" or "freedom of speech!" or "this isn't even the worst thing that has happened on this blog!" or whatever else you may dredge out of the black hole you call a mind.
There is no call for this behavior in any social setting. Anyone calling themselves educated should know to avoid this kind of junk, and certainly how to deal with it. Usually the best way is to ignore it and let the trolls deal with themselves, but I've had enough of it. Why? Because this pollution you call comments is messing up my favorite site. I didn't come here to read what you think about Jade Raymond and why you want to date her. I came here for some humor and information and gossip about video games. If you want to talk ****, go to 4chan or gamefaqs.
I'm spologize to everyone that's been acting normal through this; you shouldn't be subjected to this comment as much as you shouldn't have to read thiers'. But something needs said, and something needs done.
I'll get off my soapbox now. Keep it clean and keep it civil, please, or don't bother.

Cogito is a cock.

It's not sexist or disrespectful to say that she is an attractive woman. It WOULD be disrespectful to say that that's all she's good for, but that's not true. She is an intelligent woman who's making some good games (I actually really liked Assassin's Creed, and I didn't even know she made it).

Our friend Cogito needs to revise his/her definitions of sexism and compliment, stop being such a dick who is clearly just saying this just out of contempt for conformity. Stop being such a dick and ignore the comments if you don't like them.

It's not even as though there's much to discuss in this article, it's completely arbitrary.

DougEdey 12th July 2008, 11:11

I don't think it is, the thread title is "Jade Raymond" not, "I Am Alive", the title leads you to believe that it's something about a person, when in fact, it's about a game titled I Am Alive which has Jade Raymond "supposedly" on the team.
Even 1up has commented on it http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164444

Gaming needs to grow up and learn that you focus on the games, not on the people behind it. The game itself sounds like a good game, I like freedom games where you don't have to use violence as much.

And Timmy: Grow up, your first line of that response shows your faults.

LeMaltor 12th July 2008, 16:39

Seeing as compliments seem to be out I for one cannot wait for that womens next repetitive bore fest of a game to be out /yawn >_<

I will not grow up. I'm sick of people who take a moral high ground based upon maturity. If you're so mature, don't offend EVERYONE who just posted in this thread by posting a quote positing that they are all immature little kids with the emotional capacity of a doorbell. Stop being such a "morally superior" dick and provoking verbal abuse at you which you are only going to use to incorporate into your argument that our behaviour is "unacceptable", and thus turn it back at us (ie, me). Would you rather I went out and murdered someone? Or raped Jade Raymond? No, I don't think you would, would you... You arsehole.

People like you REALLY piss me off, and I just can't help swearing because you're such a ****ing ****.

I mean, this is an internet forum for christ's sake? Do I really have to conduct myself with the utmost decorum?

A "proper" picture of her.

And about talking about her, people respond in such a way because games and game developing are normally to do with "geeks" and "Ugly people", and when a over average woman comes into the scene, it's like wow, were did she come from?

And mature people don't play games, period. ;)

Veles 12th July 2008, 19:57

It doesn't help that Ubi seem to be shoving her under a spotlight every chance they get.

Demos are good.To test out my new 4870 I dled the crysis demo and I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Saved me 30 bucks.

the people behind her are exactly how I picture game programmers.

Amon 13th July 2008, 05:28

I went to her school.

C0nKer 13th July 2008, 08:23

At Bikini Bottom? You guys go schooling there in scuba gears or something? :)

I agree with previous posters, someone just needed to put her picture up.

She's pretty, and I have to say she has quite an impressive resume. Clearly she got where she is more than just on looks.

Although there's no denying her looks play a big role in her current POPULARITY(not her job or anything). Come on, who cares much about the producers of other games anyway, unless you're talking about Konami or Nintendo or PC developers. At least not enough to 'fabricate' stories to put up her picture. :D

I have to disagree a bit with Major though. It's just another form of entertainment. Just because you are entertaining yourself with it doesn't mean you are immature.

And lastly on I Am Alive, why no consideration for the Wii? I do believe it would make a good Wii game.

It's funny how many people assume that though. I've seen many people posting who are obviously fed up with her being in gaming news all the time about how she only got her position on looks and she's just a producer so she doesn't actually have anything to do with making the game and she's still bad at doing that. I'm not sure where people are getting this from.

QFT.

First time I've seen her or heard anything about her, I appreciate the witticisms and jokes. I personally wouldn't implicate she had her job just because she was hot. I would suggest she gets a lot more press because she is breaking of the stereotype, but thats my opinion.

Internet white knights need to get a life.

Proteus 14th July 2008, 01:26

She is well fit. I can see people buying games that she is involved in simply because of her looks.

Thats a load of bollocks proteus. People dont buy games just because of how the producer of the game looks like. Hell, I bought the game and I had no idea what she looked like before I bought the game. People buy games because of how good the game is. There are other factors like Price / Retail Cover Design / Advertising / Demo Play / Recommendations / Reviews and not what the producer looks like

If that was the case, most people would not buy most games that are out.. lol

bahgger 14th July 2008, 04:49

BT should add a question in its survey:

"Would you buy a game if the development team was a bunch of models?"

I'm certain that there is no correlation with a pretty developer and my decision to buy the game said developer had worked on. That's just stupid.

Yeah, McGill up in Montreal. But I don't speeka de frenchais very well.

Anyway, you're right about her looks lending to her popularity. It's nothing more than one of those Jessica Chobot fanaticisms.

[USRF]Obiwan 14th July 2008, 10:30

Tssss! It's just a lame excuse article, so the editors can drool over Jane again. It surprises me that Bit-Tech has not requested any interview with her allready. Oh! maybe BT did already a few hundred times but BT got rejected.... all hundred times...

So where did I left my tissue box...

Honestly, having met her, her looks are a complete non-issue to me. She's very pretty, but looks quite different in the flesh.

TBH, if there was to be any motivation for the article from me then it'd be the coolness of having a survival/exploration game.

I just wish Ubi got Ray Mears on board so I could put a picture of him up :swoon:
